Seer of Shadows

Seer of Shadows: Shadows of the First Trine 1…They were hardly a threat before. "Sure, the shifters could look like allies, but they weren't good at imitating personalities or the little quirks that make each person unique, and they had a distinctive odor that always gave them away" …but change is inevitable, and over time they must have learned how to accurately model the behavior of their chosen identity. It's even rumored they managed to extinguish the telling smell!Unrest has once again blanketed the kingdoms in its darkness, a hint of magic is on the rise, and those acting from the shadows have sent out their much-improved shapeshifting monster to take advantage. Now, they walk among unsuspecting folk, virtually undetectable, or so it is rumored, but Lady Shey doesn't have time to worry about such things. She is on a quest to save the kingdom's only hope to crawl back into the light, a group of descendants, according to the seers, living a simple life in the mountains.

The Harrowing Path: Shadows of the First Trine 2…Running from a deceitful capital of murder and corruption, a lone noble sorceress is on a quest to restore magic and stability to the kingdoms she loves. In order to thwart the forces of shadow, she must face another self-imposed evil and travel to a land where magic has been outlawed, risking her life to find the descendants of an almost dead art and train them so they are able to save the kingdoms from those working in the shadows to take control. As Lady Shey arrives in the mountain village of Brookhaven, the forces of shadow have an almost undetectable shapeshifting monster also seeking out the progenies of the past, and the sorceress may be unwittingly leading it directly to its prey.

Serpent in the Mist

Serpent in the Mist: Shadows of the First Trine 3…The forces of darkness have a new weapon, and they are using it to extraordinary effect, taking the wielders of magic totally by surprise. Not only does this new weapon take on the form of anyone it chooses but it also mimics their quirks, mannerisms, and voices as well. The stakes are high. An ancient battlefield, reduced to a wasteland long ago, is regenerating and exuding high levels of the magical energy, which makes the battlefield a prize worth winning. Devyn, his friends, and a handful of magic wielders have fallen victim to the devastation of the shapeshifting monsters. Having nowhere to turn, they must now travel to the ancient and wise Ianthill, a master magic wielder, and seek his counsel on what to do next. But Ianthill is old, out of practice, and has never faced anything as destructive as what he must face now. Time and time again, his plans lead to death and despair. But, just over the horizon may be the lucky break they need to turn things around…if they can manage to stay alive that long.
