Timothy J. R. Rains

A Missing Princess.

A City under Siege.

A Compendium of the Blackest Sorcery.

The Grand Mage of Caragol is the most dangerous man in the realm, so when Kerstin steals his spellbook right out of his tower she lights up a firestorm of trouble.

His fury rages through the city of Klomm. Houses burn. Innocents lie slaughtered in the streets. Yet countless lives are a petty sum for such a great deal of power. With the spellbook, Kerstin can contend with the unspeakable horrors conjured by the Grand Mage.

But she is dancing on a spider's thread.

Meanwhile on the other side of the kingdom, fifteen-year-old Hinkle walks a tightrope of her own, spinning a web of dangerous lies around her new master, Sir Gilkrist of Lothellae.

When Sir Gilkrist’s quest brings them to Klomm, she discovers the secrets she’s been hiding are darker than she ever imagined. A diabolical scheme threatens to engulf the world in shadow and blood - and it has everything to do with her Aunt Kerstin.

But can Sir Gilkrist help her ... or will he devise a dark purpose of his own?

The Cracked Altar

A Traitor at Large.A Conspiracy Unveiled.A Kingdom on the Brink of War.
The battle for Klomm is over and Count Olgris is in custody. But many questions remain—and as usual, the woman with all the answers has made herself scarce. New suspicions arise, casting doubt on the involvement of the Grand Mage. And with the army soon to march, King Vashean finds himself asking how far he’ll go for the sake of peace.

Greatly diminished, Kerstin emerges from the shadows to entangle Sir Gilkrist in a perilous scheme, a quest that will take them across the realm, through the very midst of her enemies to regain the source of her power—and retrieve her idiot niece.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains of Kodzir, Hinkle must brave perils of her own. She explores the dark halls of a nightmare castle, desperate to understand the mysterious enchantment which has taken hold of her—and which ultimately prevents her from leaving. But not everything is as it seems, and even the dungeons of Stel’ Calghād are haunted by Kerstin’s secrets. And as Hinkle discovers the true depths of her aunt’s treachery, she begins to realize how far Kerstin will go for the sake of power.

The question is … what will she do when she gets it back?

The Shattered Sword

A Queen in Peril. An Alliance Divided. A Conjuring of an Ancient Evil.
Shown for the villain that he is, the Grand Mage is on the run—and he’s kidnapped the crown heir. The realm is in turmoil. The critical hour is at hand. But at a time when unity is paramount, no one can be trusted—King Vashean least of all.

Kerstin’s schemes have not played out in her favour. With her impending execution, it seems she’s burned one bridge too many. Pity though, she was mankind’s only hope ...

Hinkle would love nothing more than to see Kerstin get what she deserves—especially with the way she’s been looking at Sir Gilkrist. But for once her aunt might actually be right. Count Olgris has escaped—and he holds the final piece to his master’s sinister design. The question is, will anybody listen?

The world is about to plunge into the most terrifying darkness its ever known. And no one who can do anything about it is moving in the right direction …

The Broken Chain

A Mysterious Correspondent.A Battle-weary Nation.A Covenant Sworn on the Altar of Hell.
Aside from a few memories of her mother, the convent is all Kerstin’s ever known. But when she receives an invitation to work for the Duke of Klomm, she finally gets the chance to experience life outside the abbey.

Only, the opportunity isn’t what she thinks.

Offered up as bait in a dangerous undercover investigation, Kerstin must walk a harrowing razor’s edge. And with the Church watching her every move, one misstep could land her back in the convent—or worse, at the stake. Not to mention, the duke will most likely throw her off a bridge the second she outwears her usefulness. And that’s if the most nefarious wizard in the land doesn’t blast her into another dimension first.

There’s nowhere to turn. There's no one to trust. And with the investigation taking a darker turn, Kerstin finds herself questioning whose side she’s really on.

The question is, can she claim power for herself ... or will some washerwoman find her floating facedown in the canal?
