Premise of Current Novel

Arctashia is a world of vibrant colors, of excitement. Adventure lurks around every corner. Separate Dimensions are inhabited by Elves, Dwarves, Talceens, and Men. But Arctashia is no paradise. Epochs ago, something went wrong, and Delandries, the Mountain of Dimensions, was lost to a darkness so thick not even the strongest Elf can pierce it. Arctashia waits in breathless tension for the hero that will set reality right…

Evie is just another student for the Darkness. Always trying to earn her place and certainly not believing in anything like hope. Not after the Darkness killed her brother. All she knows is a burning anger and a desire for justice. Not that she could ever get that. Until the day her only peaceful acquaintance (someone may even call Taliya a friend – but not Evie) reveals a deadly secret she’s kept from day one. Evie must make a choice: does she turn her friend turned traitor into the authorities? Or does she escape to a future entirely unknown? One that may even contain hope?

Kilied has it all. A talented twin sister, a loyal dragon, and a beautiful house. But Kilied’s every thought is haunted by the tragedy of his past. His every move is hampered by the reality of a betrayal and a dark lord’s deception. So when the Third Dimension is overcome by the great Darkness, Kilied must flee with his sister Kirielle and his dragon Balorico in the hopes that he can set the disaster right. But Kilied’s past is running him down, and he cannot hold much longer. Will he discover the truth before it is too late?

Two broken people fight for their lives in a broken world. The time is coming for the great battle. Will Light triumph, or will Arctashia be plunged into the growing Darkness forever?
