Ashes to Embers
Power burns in Reven Si'ahl's veins. He sees snippets of a life unknown, hears a familiar voice without a face...
For five years Reven has existed as a bard and unwilling acquisitions specialist with two thieves, Liam and Ajana, who rescued him from the ashes of insanity. It's a debt he's determined to repay. When an urchin from a fallen empire joins their tenuous, sometimes volatile trio, however, all bets are off as Reven's carefully crafted reality starts to crumble, sparking questions better left unanswered.
Kaleo Oenel knows his father survived the fall of the Phoenix Empire, despite the demons' brutal attack of the tirsai people. Now, those same demons are charging into Kormaine, ready to crush the human-run nation. But his heart-and dreams-won't let Kaleo rest until he finds his father.
Instead, he finds Reven-a drunken bard working with thieves. But Kaleo refuses to give up, settling into his new life, his presence seeming to disturb Reven whose ever increasing visions are rapidly shifting into terrifying nightmares of things to come-things they both lived through once before...
Michelle Schad
From a young age, there have been voices inside of Michelle’s head. No, not those kinds of voices – or, maybe they are; who really knows? Rather than fear those voices, Michelle wrangled them like wild mustangs on the prairie, make each one bend to her will in its own time. Well, what does that mean?
It means that Michelle has been writing stories of the fantastic, the horrific, and the mysterious for as long as her little fingers have been able to hold a pen and probably longer, but memory only goes back so far. In a world that passes for ‘normal’, she is all of the ‘normal’ things one might expect: mother, wife, keeper of fur-babies. She is also a student of life, meaning if there is something to learn, she will learn it, thus making her a veritable font of only partially useful knowledge.
