About the Books
Lizard Queen Volume 1
300 years ago, in a
nameless world, a prophecy passed unfulfilled. A secret society that formed to
prevent its occurrence believed it was their doing, while the secret society
created to ensure that the prophecy came to pass wasn’t certain it had been
stopped at all. Eventually, the prophecy of Lacáruna, a female from another
realm and the only being who can read the Lizard Queen’s language, fell into
legend. What no one realizes, however,
is that Amy Darlidale is just a tad late.
THIS SHRINKING WORLD
Taking a break from a
stressful workweek, Amy, a recently divorced CEO, goes out for a morning jog
and crosses paths with an orange lizard. Suddenly, she finds herself under a
starless sky confronted by oddly marked and strangely colored people who claim
she's there to rescue the world from evil’s grasp and expand it once again. But
not everyone wants that to happen so there's a price on her head. This is far
from the relaxing weekend Amy had intended.
FROM THE ASHES
Along with the young
companions who found her, Licha and Jandro, Amy has accompanied the swaggering
Colonel Dack Sangcertigre—a member of the Trotéjo, the secret society sworn to
protect her—to his home nation in search of a plan to fulfill the Promise of a New Morphósis. As the body
count rises and she is confronted with raving rulers, military machinations,
and crafty clergy, she quickly realizes there must be much more at stake than
merely finding the prophecy.
A SPECTACULAR LIE
The sense of order in
this mysterious world continues to collapse. Fires rage, clans are being
slaughtered and townsfolk massacred, and leaders have proclaimed a great evil
has returned. As Amy searches for clues within the
first mythic journals of this world’s origins, she’s begun seeing visions and
receiving messages from forces unknown. While she’s trying to understand the
extent of her power others have become aware of it as well. Soon a new group
with its own mysterious agenda believes Amy may have another fated purpose and
only she can save herself from their terrifying trap.
Lizard Queen Volume 2
300 years ago, in a nameless world, a prophecy passed
unfulfilled. A secret society that formed to prevent its occurrence believed it
was their doing, while the secret society created to ensure that the prophecy
came to pass wasn’t certain it had been stopped at all. Eventually, the
prophecy of Lacáruna, a female from another realm and the only being who can
read the Lizard Queen’s language, fell into legend. What no one realizes, however, is that Amy
Darlidale is just a tad late.
YOU ARE THE DREAM
It’s becoming
increasingly clear that an all-out war is being waged by opposing factions—the
Arañalianza, bent on making certain that the prophecy is never brought to pass,
and the Trotéjo, sworn to make certain it does. Although Amy has passed tests
of wits and endurance far beyond what she thought possible, she struggles for
insight into the role she is presumably intended to play in this world. But
nothing in her imagination can prepare her for coming face to face with the
greatest nemesis of all.
A WEDGE BETWEEN
Jolted by the
sacrifices her protectors have had to make, Amy forges ahead while new
relationships surface and new truths are revealed. As it becomes less clear who
to trust, the group has no choice but to seek out the help of another Trotéjo
comrade in order to find the remaining Extiguos. Amy understands that achieving
her goal to fulfill the Promise of a New Morphósis is going to be more
difficult—because now it seems she’s not the only one of the Most Wanted List.
FURIOUS ANGELS
Forced to rely on her
own instincts, along with the limited knowledge she’s gained of this world in
her quest, Amy must find a way to acquire the remaining three Extiguos to piece
together the prophecy and reunite her team of protectors. Despite feeling
constrained in her ability to combat otherworldly forces she cannot comprehend,
she must now overcome a foe that poses an unimaginably sinister threat. But
before she can push forward toward her destiny she must first reclaim what she
left behind.
Lizard Queen Volume 3
300 years ago, in a nameless world, a prophecy passed
unfulfilled. A secret society that formed to prevent its occurrence believed it
was their doing, while the secret society created to ensure that the prophecy
came to pass wasn’t certain it had been stopped at all. Eventually, the
prophecy of Lacáruna, a female from another realm and the only being who can
read the Lizard Queen’s language, fell into legend. What no one realizes, however, is that Amy
Darlidale is just a tad late.
TIME GOES ROUND
With all of the
Extiguos now in their possession, Amy and her friends feel they are close to
discovering the truth, but hope they aren’t running out of time. They become
aware that both opposing factions behind the Lacáruna prophesy are convening
while the militaries of the surrounding nations converge. Aided by a powerful
new weapon, Amy’s protectors feel more empowered to overcome any remaining
obstacles. But everyone has changed and each must struggle to accept the truth
of their evolving principles. Despite the set backs and the struggles Amy,
however, grows more confident that they are on the right path because she’s
found a way to see her surroundings in a new light.
WE ARE THE WAKING
Although she’s unable
to finish reading the final Extiguo to determine her role in bringing about the
New Morphósis, Amy Darlidale quickly learns that Runakopolis puts her and her
friends on the threshold of another major discovery. A new mystery seems to
hold clues to the origins of the Trotéjo and the Arañalianza. Beginning to sense
that the ideologies at conflict have been preserved not only by clergy and
government but also by culture, Amy is drawn into an enigmatic society of
scholars. At first, pages missing from library books and a new theory about the
first Morphósis don’t seem to be connected to the Lacáruna prophecy, but the
lines of military, church, and academia continue to intersect and familiar
faces and adversaries reemerge. Rumors of war are spreading quickly, and
whispers that La Arañota will soon rise again are amplifying. This world seems
on the verge of shrinking much faster than anyone anticipated.
ROOT OF THE RULE
The surrounding nations
are gathering for a war against Pliada, the Trotéjo and the Arañalianza are
assembling before the mountain upon which La Reina’s castle sits, and stakes
have never been higher. The quest to learn how Amy Darlidale must bring about
the New Morphósis has brought her full circle and the truth about her destiny
as Lacáruna finally seems within reach. But much blood continues to be shed as
all sides race toward the inevitable conclusion of the journey. Amy must summon
forces from deep within if she is to save this world—or is it too late?
