Tears of Hatsunae
Amazon Reviewer
"Epic. Simply epic."
A classic-style coming of age epic fantasy.
“The tears of Hatsunae fell in glistening streams across the lands she and her lover forged. With every drop, her purpose infused the Highlands with her essence, safeguarding it for a time from the withering that was beyond her powers to fully prevent."
"Some claim a few of those tears were born from more than just the watery magic of Hatsunae alone. For her truest tears, they said, were infused with the love of the stone lord’s heart and fell in the likeness of both stone and water as sapphires, hard as earth and blue as the deepest oceans.”

Amazon Reviewer
"This is a wonderful start to a limitless epic fantasy adventure, to which the likes of Robert Jordan, David Eddings and J. R. R. Tolkien themselves, and their fans, would only enjoy on their shelves."
Rise of Tears #1
Asahn dreamed of leading his tribe to greatness now that he was a man among them. But their homeland was growing harsh and unpredictable. Winters longer. Storms deadlier. Then a mysterious spy is captured outside camp, revealing a more perilous threat still. A powerful new force has set its sights on Asahn’s people—the secrets to why buried in his tribe’s ancient history. Their only advantage lies in fleeing into the wilds, but the stubborn pride of Asahn’s father endangers the tribe with every turn. As the chieftain’s heir, Asahn must challenge his father’s missteps before he leads them into a trap, but doing what’s right could destroy their relationship forever. Meanwhile, the old tribe storyteller insists the world is dying, and Asahn may be the only one who can save it. If they can escape their hunters and survive the unleashed fury of their withering homeland, that is.

Fall of Tears #2
The gift of the Aiune Kah granted the ability to sense the divine. But to Asahn, the mark of his lineage had proven to be nothing but a curse. Because of their ancestry, Asahn’s people were now hunted by the Order of Light, yet to what end, no one could say. The gods of Elerea had been gone for a thousand years, and their essence had faded from the dying land. Yet the Order preaches of a Rebirth, and their priests wield magic like the gods of old, a magic that Asahn can sense. Asahn must uncover the Order’s secrets and the sinister purpose behind their hunt for the Kahn Shogal before it’s too late. His only hope for answers may reside in the Stonelord capital of Vulgotha Tor, but the ancient city stands behind enemy lines, and the Stonelords and Kahn Shogal hold an age-old enmity. Follow the second part of Asahn’s journey as he contends with long-hidden family secrets and the divine echoes of Elerea’s ancient past. A choice stands before him. Should he seek and embrace the Greatness Lost, or should the power of the gods remain lost to history forever? Either way, it can only end in a Fall of Tears.

Glimpse the adventure with this short story prequel.
For a Kahn Shogal, the rite of manhood is a profound life event, though one every boy in the tribe experiences. To prove his right to this new adult status, a boy of age must venture alone into the harsh wilderness and return with proof of his conquest. For Asahn, heir to his people’s chieftain, this ritual is anything but commonplace. His successes and failures are viewed with a more critical eye, and any trophy he returns with must be worthy of the future leader of the tribe. Asahn planned for this day, however, and his sights are set on the perfect trophy to prove his worth as a man and son of the Kah Hrah. But a plan only gets you so far. Asahn’s rite of manhood will lead him into a struggle of life and death and a question of his very honor. Little does he know this is only the first of many trials to come.
