The Horse Lord
Aldric Talvalin has had his family torn from him and is left for dead.
Seeking the care of an old wizard, Gemmel, he is nursed back to health. But as recompense, he has a particular mission in mind for the hero.
Alone, he ventures off through dangerous lands in discovery of the legendary Dragonwand, a powerful tool and weapon long sought after by Gemmel.
Trouble, danger, and even romance face Aldric on his perilous adventure.
And the question remains:
Will he succeed in his vengeful purpose?
The Demon Lord
Aldric Talvalin, young clan lord of the country of Alba, has beeen summoned to complete another quest.
It has taken Aldric Talvalin four years of his life to achieve a fitting revenge on the slayers of his family; and now life has lost its direction, its purpose, and even its first love.
He decides to leave the newly won citadel of Dunrath, his lost birthright, and his wanderings bring him to the ominous border provinces of the troubled Drusalan Empire.
Demon Queller - There in the forests of the Jevaiden plateau, Aldric meets Evthan the hunter and his beautiful niece, and learns that she, too is the lost heir to a stolen citadel.
Together they set out to the fortress of Seghar to quell the demon spirit that possesses it and to turn back into Outer Darkness forever the evil power of the god turned devil Issaqua.
The Dragon Lord
In the service of the crook-shouldered King Rynert, Aldric has been dishonoured and sold into the Drusalan Empire in an example of Machiavellian statecraft.
Here in the hated Empire, he lies at the mercy of those who have loathed him and all he stands for, for generations.
But Aldric is a High-Clan Lord, skilled in the art of the sword, a scholar and an expert in Art Matic, a warrior who has seen the best and seen the worst.
And even in the Drusalan Empire there are allies which include Ymareth, The Dragon.
