Flight of Sorcery and Shadow

A forgotten prisoner. A young ranger. A magical librarian. A headstrong dragon rider. Four elves’ fates are bound as an ancient evil rises… to end them all.

Aedon's captivity in Tir-na-Alathea is over when darkness descends upon the Living Forest, and the elf's only choices become escape, or death; far from the glory of the fame and notoriety of his past.

Lost, alone, and desperate to escape the deadly beasts now hunting him, he does not count on meeting Lief na-Arboreali, a ranger of the woodland elves... and Aedon's natural worst enemy.

Lief prides herself on being one of Lune's finest rangers; now, she is the only one left alive.

She must notify the Queen at once that the realm's defences have been breached by unimaginably malevolent sorcery. The last thing she needs is to stumble upon an escaped prisoner.

When Lief is injured by the creatures hunting them, Aedon and Lief become unlikely allies. Neither can survive without the other in a deadly race to outrun what hunts them and bring word to the queen - before Lief succumbs to the dark poison raging through her body. Lief must learn to trust another again, and Aedon must dust off his once legendary skills if they are to flee through sorcery and shadow to live.

In the heart of Pelenor, Venya is a keeper of the Athenaeum; the sum of Pelenor's wisdom contained in grimoires more powerful than she can imagine.

When she unwittingly unleashes the magic within, it is not just her life at stake. Before another librarian is attacked by the beast prowling the vaults, Venya must find a way to bind the deadly grimoire. Unlikely aid finds her, but can she trust a grimoire about whom she knows nothing? The more Venya delves into the vaults, the more uncertain she is of all she had been taught of grimoires - and the more determined she is to discover the truth of their mighty power... for good or evil.

Deep within the mountains, Vasili the dragon rider seeks greater glory than scouting for snowstorms.

When an unlikely visitor arrives with dark tidings, Vasili and his dragon embark on a reckless mission to prove their worth - but what they discover is beyond their worst nightmares.

An old enemy rises.

Stronger than before.

He will consume all in his path, until dominion over all Altarea is his...
