About the Books
Book I “The Sieve” is Book I of the epic
fantasy novel Drakon.
“I am here to redeem
the lives of my wife and daughter. I’ve brought the offering.” Da-Ren, an
infidel barbarian, arrives at the Castlemonastery, his only offering a jar of
honey. Baagh, the Cross Sorcerer,
follows him there under orders of the Emperor, demanding from the monks to
transcribe the warrior’s story. Book I chronicles Da-Ren’s early years, growing
up in a tribe of archer riders and pagan witches, camped north of the Blackvein
River. He enters the Sieve, the
forty-day initiation trial that determines the fate of every boy and girl. Many
of his comrades will fall, the strong will join the warriors, and an elite few
will be marked for leadership. Da-Ren learns to endure the elements, to obey
the Truths, to keep standing when all hope is lost. He swallows the legends of
the OunaMa witches, learns to hate all other tribes, and conquers fear. And yet there is one trial that will bring
him to his knees. The Goddess’s favorite daughter. “Brown-haired, brown-eyed.
Brown was the first color of the day.” The journey begins for the man who will
become the First Blade of the Devil. A
brutal, poetic, first-person narrative of war, death, and love. Book II
“Uncarved” is Book II of the epic
fantasy novel Drakon.
“How do the Uncarved
die? They bleed to death. Always.” Fourteen-winter-old Da-Ren joins the
Uncarved, the chosen few destined to lead the Tribe. More than forty children
train and compete for the next five springs; only one will become Khun and
fulfill the Tribe’s destiny. Da-Ren’s
ambition and strength will keep him alive but can he overcome his most powerful
and cunning adversary, the one favored by witches and men? The Goddess and the
Ouna-Mas will try to nest in his heart, but is he prepared for the one woman he
is brought up to hate? As war and hunger strangle the Tribe, the stakes of
love, duty, and betrayal are higher than ever. A young man’s first kill. A
young man’s first kiss. A coming-of-age tale with non-stop action.
