It is said that dreams are harmless, that they are nothing more than the meaningless fancies of an unconscious mind. It’s only a dream. It’s only a dream. It’s only a dream.

We repeat the mantra in order to bring ourselves back to reality, in order to remind ourselves that there is nothing to fear.

As the King wages his never-ending war against the demons infiltrating The Breach, the nobles have grown weary, and some don’t believe the threat is real. So, Evan must travel across Rahma to win back the lords’ loyalty to the king. And he’s more motivated than ever now, because he will soon become a father.

Evan has won the allegiance of Tikal through a little dragon diplomacy, but his work isn’t done yet.

Then a phoenix princess comes flying out of the desert, and she begs Evan to save her people from deadly creatures that have pursued them relentlessly. Evan’s not one to turn down a beautiful princess, and besides, there is treasure to be found in the desert. Maybe it’s time to start his own dragon hoard...

Baxter Zevcenko's life is pretty sweet. He's making a name for himself as the kingpin of his smut-peddling high school syndicate, the other gangs are staying out of his business, and he's dating the girl of his dreams, Esme.

The campaign across Rahma continues, and this time Evan and his party travel to the desert city of Kana. The lizard Demi-Human lord is quick to welcome Evan, but his stoic mage of a sister tells Evan she isn’t impressed with him.

Evan thinks the lady mage is protesting a bit too much, though, since she can’t seem to keep her eyes off him.

Winter 2017. Freyston, Maine. A remote town buried in snow—and in secrets. Otha and her brother arrive to visit their grandfather, only to find him changed. Gaunt. Hollow-eyed. Wrong.

As the storm closes in, so does the truth about what happened to him in the wilderness years ago—and why he survived when everyone else died.

Evan and his party continue on to the peninsula of Rahma, but an ultimatum from the king hangs over Evan’s head. If he can’t get the Lord of Atheson to swear fealty to the crown, then he has been tasked with breaking the peninsula off the continent and letting it sink to the bottom of the ocean.

Evan’s campaign across Rahma continues, and this time, they encounter a city of intelligent, if proud, shape-shifting centaurs. Evan is fascinated by the horse-people, but he is more enthralled with their gorgeous queen.

And maybe even give her an heir.
