Book 1: Arcane
Fourteen-year-old Augum and his friends Bridget and Leera dream of becoming warlocks, but their kingdom has fallen into chaos. A vicious tyrant has overthrown the king in a hunt for seven mythic artifacts, and Augum’s stern mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, holds one of them. Sheltering in a mysterious and ancient castle, the trio must master the arcane arts before the tyrant finds them. A sudden betrayal puts their friendship—and their lives—to the test.

Book 2: Riven
When their mentor leaves on a crucial quest, Augum, Bridget, and Leera run afoul of a devious old witch and escape straight into the hands of a notorious maniac known as the Blade of Sorrows. Prisoners of the Blade and his sadistic apprentice, the trio’s only way out is an ancient spell with some nasty side effects. More than their lives are at stake, for a whole kingdom’s hopes rest with their mentor, and she is heading for a deadly trap.

After a grueling ordeal in Bahbell, the trio finally get a chance to relax, but their fugitive mentor has a dangerous new quest for them: sneak into an ancient library and research an artifact that could devastate the Legion.

One brazen act of rebellion plunges the trio and their quest into mortal peril.

Book 5: Legend
Imagine a spell that can age you a lifetime in heartbeats, turn loved ones into enemies, and set demons upon your soul, and imagine having to use it to save the kingdom. As the trio prepare for a final confrontation with the increasingly vicious Lord of the Legion, they must master a hopelessly complex spell they can learn only from their legendary mentor. With the kingdom hurtling toward annihilation, Anna Atticus Stone’s health failing, and relationships crumbling under the strain, they risk everything on a daring plan that will exact a terrible price.
