The Bloodless Princes
A tale of honor, dragons, and a love that endures beyond death
Come for the journey through the underworld. Stay for the suspiciously familiar winged cat.
After their dubiously successful quest to slay the White Lady and recover the Fireborne Blade, Sir Maddileh and Saralene set about changing their world for the better. But the cursed and newly-promoted High Mage Saralene must visit the afterlife to ask a favor of the Bloodless Princes who run the underworld.
But Saralene and Sir Maddileh will soon discover that the old tales only hold so much truth in them, though perhaps there’s enough to make a start on their new journey.
To escape the underworld alive, Saralene will need a lot more than just her wits. And Maddileh will need more than just her Fireborne Blade.

The Fireborne Blade
In the world of The Fireborne Blade, magic is not just a power—it's a weapon. Set in a realm where the balance of light and darkness hangs on the edge of a blade, this series invites readers into a high-stakes world filled with fierce warriors, ancient mysteries, and a destiny shaped by fire itself.
At the center of it all is Kaelen, a reluctant hero whose extraordinary connection to a legendary blade sets the stage for a journey that will test not just his strength, but his very soul. The Fireborne Blade is no ordinary weapon; it is a symbol of rebellion, hope, and destruction. Once wielded by the fallen king, its return sparks a battle that could either forge a new world or burn everything to the ground.
The Fireborne Blade consists of two books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
