Can You Feel It?
The spark of Awakening at last ignites,
stirring the slumbering skies.
N'er to oblivion we slowly come,
blood and fire on ashen eyes.
Woe to men, the time draws near,
whispers raging on.
And from the night the sound of wings,
an omen of waking dawn.
What is the Awakening?
The 'Cycle of Awakening' is a new fantasy series, with book one, 'When Blood Burns', recently released. This multi-novel series will be set in a familiar, yet unique, fantasy setting. The first novel will follow the story of several key characters as they embark on their own journeys - both sides out to avenge the death of their parents in a conflict going back thousands of years.
Additionally, smaller novels will be published in between major installments and provide a unique insight into the world's history and lore, further building upon current events and, in many cases, filling in gaps and directly answering questions from the main books.

"Echoes of something stirring in the East, far across the Thousand Peaks
a chilling wind runs down the Spine, biting roots and seeds beneath"
- an excerpt from one of the Lost Tomes
Experience the beginning of an all-new fictional saga in the world known as Velasia [Vel-ay-zhi-uh] - a mystical place full of both familiar and unfamiliar fantasy elements. While you might find many familiar, Tolkien-esque races being referenced, in Velasia, nearly all of them have vanished.
Only dragons and humans remain, the prior the only beings who can still wield magic innately. Though humans have no direct magical affinity, they've been studying for years, using their ingenuity to craft devices capable of giving them some semblance of control over it. But has their thirst for magic driven them too far?
In the heart of the human empire lies the Vale. And on the outskirts of the Vale sits Eastend, a village bordering a massive mountain range named the Thousand Peaks. Here, a group of warriors known as the "Order of Scales", within whose blood flows a small fragment of the dragons' power, watches over the lands beyond the Wall. Though they cannot wield magic, the blood gives them extra-human abilities, and it is with these abilities they've stood as the first line of defense against their ancient and powerful foe.
But with the elder dragons seeming an all but forgotten threat, the world has moved on, leaving the Order and the lands beyond the Wall to fend for themselves against the threat of lesser dragons who occasionally roam into human lands from beyond the mountains.
And it is in this part of the world where our story begins...
