"This has everything a great fantasy story should have." - Susan May, Amazon customer
"Don't waste any time—give this novel a try. You won't regret it." - Hernan Salvarezza, Goodreads reviewer
Born in ashes. Drenched in blood.
Derrik comes of age in a land of savage war and evil magic. As Dragonlords clash for power, hordes of Saitaan’s warriors ravage human cities.
Tucked in the corner of the empire, near the snowy slopes that separate humans from elves, his village seems far away from danger. And yet, Derrik carries a sword and dreams of becoming a warrior, the protector of the weak. His friends and neighbors scoff at him – until darkness invades the peaceful village, and screams pierce the night.
Now he must become the hero he has only played at, for bloodthirsty monsters hunt him as if he were perilous to the Darkside. A dreaded dragon could be a powerful ally ... or yet another hunter.
As he fights for survival, Derrik faces enemies that creep all around – and dark secrets that burn deep within.

Love and Loss in Cambodia is a memoir by Debra Groves Harman. As a teenager, she carried a heavy burden of grief and responsibility. First, her closest person died. Next, her father was critically injured in a traumatic car accident. Perhaps that explains why she's willing to leave the US and go to parts unknown--ending up in Cambodia, or more likely, she's following a traveling man she married in 1993. Memories are drawn from the '90s when the author lived in Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh. That decade was considered dangerous, with Khmer Rouge active on Route 4. When she first arrived in ...
