I am thrilled to announce the release of the final companion novel to the Tempest Rising universe, “Steel and Fury”. This companion novel offers an intimate look into the dark and tormented mind of Sam, also known as the Butcher of Bruin. Follow his obsessive quest, and see what demons from his past continue to haunt him as you walk in Sam’s blood-soaked boots.
I just wanted to notify everyone that the final installment of Tempest Rising, The Tempest Queen, will no longer be released October 6. As much as I wanted to stick with my original release date, I want to prioritize the quality of the work and ensure that the final novel is the absolute best that it can be. I’ve gotten the manuscript back from my amazing editor, Cayce Berryman at Kingsman Editing Services, and am now going through and adding the finishing touches. Thank you so much for your patience in this process, and I look forward to releasing the finished product on its new publishing date, November 3!
Don’t forget, if you have yet to check out the companion novels, there is plenty of new content to read prior to the final book’s release, and all are available on Kindle Unlimited!

“There is a cost to greatness. There is a cost to freedom. How much are you willing to pay?”
Amid the land’s rebirth, war looms once again. Rowyn ventures across the eastern empire to end the drought in Lyrica. Behind closed doors, Duke Agramon reminds Rowyn that her presence comes at a cost. While she brings rain under the watchful eye of her captors, Sam, the Butcher of Bruin, tries to protect Rowyn from Agramon’s worst impulses. In a world of deceit, Rowyn seeks escape by fulfilling the seer’s promise that she will find freedom in helping others and finding friends along the way. Her search for allies draws her closer to a man whose reputation and desires cast doubts on his motives. In the hands of one captor, escape risks falling into the hands of another.
Is there a future worth fighting for, or will Rowyn live out a life in bondage to another, always?
