The Heir of Malagroth one day; robbing merchants of mystery meats the next.
So begins the tale of Shadin, an exile whose family was murdered by usurpers of the throne. He has fallen farther than he thought possible—and then a bit more too. But he has his life, which is more than can be said of anyone else he's ever cared about. And he has some power too—more, some would say, than any man has a right to. Now, driven by a life-defining need for vengeance, he is as dark and inexorable as the night.
But first, he has to eat.
This is a short story in The Wanderers Cycle and a perfect choice for starting the series.

Private detective Eric Beckman can read minds.
Although he reads only the conscious thoughts of the people he interviews, it usually gives him enough of an edge to overcome his inexperience as a PI. But mind reading is hell on relationships. Trusting comes hard when you know what people are really thinking.
The case of his life lands in his lap when a beautiful woman materializes during a televised baseball game. She floats in midair, then drops to the ground, comatose.
Beckman is at her bedside when she wakes up. From the moment she opens her eyes, she has him under her spell. He vows to figure out where—or when—she came from, even if it kills him.
The stakes increase when she disappears without a trace. Worse, she holds the key to a worldwide energy catastrophe. If Beckman can’t find her and unlock her secrets, economies will collapse, and the world will spiral down into chaos.

Love. Magic. Faith. By the autumn of 537 AD, all who are loyal to King Arthur have retreated to a small parcel of land in north Wales. They are surrounded on all sides, heavily outnumbered, and facing near certain defeat.
But Myrddin and Nell, two of the king's companions, have a secret that neither has ever been able to face: each has seen that on a cold and snowy day in December, Saxon soldiers sent by Modred will ambush and kill King Arthur.
And together, they must decide what they are willing to do, and to sacrifice, to avert that fate.
Cold My Heart is the first book in the Lion of Wales series.
Complete series reading order: Cold My Heart, The Oaken Door, Of Men and Dragons, A Long Cloud, Frost Against the Hilt.
