Darkness Holds the Son
In this campaign, all books in the series are available in leather, paperback, digital and audio.
“An engaging tale filled with magic and parental love. Darkness Holds the Son is first – the story of a father struggling to save his kids and second – that of a king hell-bent on saving his kingdom’s future.” – Independent Book Review
In a small village named Tuluva, Jareth, an unemployed mercenary, and his wife and two children are raising goats to sustain themselves. Things go well for them until the land-baron of Ogress raises their taxes, forcing Jareth to pick up his crossbow and return to the battlefield.
Jareth has an even more pressing problem than keeping his family out of debtor’s prison. His son Crispin has seizures that are caused by magic and if Jareth doesn’t find the source soon, it could be fatal as the boy hears voices instructing him to kill his parents.
In his search for work, Jareth is late for every war that rages and is soon accused of being an enemy to the crown. With his arrest he learns his son has disappeared. He bequeaths King Barin to help him.
Taking pity on the man, and seeing his nephew is developing the same symptoms, King Barin consents. Their search takes them through a portal and into a chasm known as the Neverworld. Here enchantments and sorcery give birth to an unfathomable evil, and their children are the instruments of its ploy.
When King Barin discovers who is behind this plot, his anger rages from a broken heart, yet he is tested by the very magic the thaumaturge once wielded.
There is more to Darkness Holds the Son than the Pied Piper forces that lure the children:
A wicked lord seeking revenge.
An unusual, gender-switching wizard searching for a purpose in life.
A young woman, oppressed by her family, clinging to what she holds dear.
And King Barin searching for a righteous love, for the world is filled with untrustworthy souls, and to lose his heart could mean losing his kingdom.

My stories are character driven, inspired by my psychology classes in college. Many of my life experiences in the Arizona desert and Pacific Northwest mountains are hidden in the pages of my books. Of course they have a magical twist to them. I do hope you enjoy reading these tales as much as I enjoy writing them.
