Every moment is a struggle to rediscover who he is. After barely surviving the loss of his twin brother, Dynan is forced to run farther and submerge his identity deeper than ever before. Legend is the story of his survival, how he discovers a reason to want to live and where he learns that dreams can be real. But there are no guarantees, for with each action an equal and opposite reaction occurs. There are nightmares to consider and souls to be lost. To protect him, and give him time to heal, Dynan is sent to a place that is forbidden by the laws he's supposed to uphold. It's a calculated risk that he needs the anonymity Cadal can provide. The danger is weighed against the odds he?ll be discovered - by the people of this backward planet, by allies who would use this infraction against him, or by an enemy who would see him dead. The plans so carefully arranged soon start to unravel when Dynan meets the girl of his dreams ? dreams that he doesn't remember until they walk up to him, living, breathing and beautiful. Preordained by the Gods, their attraction to each other is unstoppable. From the moment of acceptance, the difficulties set before them stand in the way of their desire to be together. There are enemies, known and unknown, lurking in the outer reaches, and one, who as promised, intends to destroy everyone Dynan cares about. Maralt Adaeryn has plans of his own and none of them end with happily ever after less

There are no holes in space. None to hide in. None where it's safe. Life onboard a space ship pursued through the void is precarious at best, where the difference between living and dying is measured one instant to the next. On the run, Dynan Telaerin's responsibilities increase to the breaking point while he's the only one capable of flying the ship and making one repair after the other to his almost crippled craft, at the same time as trying to be a husband to his new wife, Loren... moreThere are no holes in space. None to hide in. None where it's safe. Life onboard a space ship pursued through the void is precarious at best, where the difference between living and dying is measured one instant to the next. On the run, Dynan Telaerin's responsibilities increase to the breaking point while he's the only one capable of flying the ship and making one repair after the other to his almost crippled craft, at the same time as trying to be a husband to his new wife, Loren. Bringing her and Marc Talryn into the terrifying danger that is Dynan's life, hardens his resolve to protect them at all cost. Making it back to the fold of the Brittallia System doesn't guarantee safety, as betrayals abound where he least expects it. They come from people he has trusted nearly the whole of his life. That life of peace, held for a brief moment in time, is abruptly shattered. Loren is taken from him in an attempt to forestall a terrible vision of death. The specter of evil haunts every thought and guides every action in the attempt to find her and keep her safe. The man who would take her and make the vision a reality is stalking him... ...driving him ever onward, leading him to the envisioned slaughter. Maralt Adaeryn sees the cruel end of an ancient prophecy and he holds a dreadful secret. There are some things worse than death. less

Bodies lie strewn on the Throne Room floor. The blood of the dead and the dying pools on black marble. Seeping down through the merest cracks in the floor, one fatal drop touches the Sacred Seal. A hole in the fabric of time opens. The Demon's Horde waits on the other side. It is the Seer's vision and her visions are never wrong. Only Carryn Adaeryn can stop it from coming true. It is her brother, mocking her, telling her she will fail at every turn. And she is terrified Maralt is right... moreBodies lie strewn on the Throne Room floor.

It is her brother, mocking her, telling her she will fail at every turn. And she is terrified Maralt is right. Every tenet she holds close will be tested. Every truth is bent. The souls of the lost and the living can survive only if she doesn't fail. All the long years of struggle are in peril. No one is safe. When the rules change, nothing is certain. Action and reaction determine Carryn's choices and alter the course of time. The massacre is nearly complete. The battle for survival goes on. There's only one other who can face the terrible truth. Chosen by attrition. Can he hold the battle lines? Or will he succumb to the overwhelming allure of absolute power. Will he finally defeat his fear or will evil take his soul? There's no one to guide him, and the path ahead is littered with deception and death. Somehow, Marc Talryn has to find a way to save them all. It isn't so easy to kill a telepath. Or contain him.

It isn't so easy to kill a telepath. Or contain him. Those that must hold absolute evil shielded from the world, fight to restore tenuous balance against a force they can no longer control. Reality mingles with chaos that beats at the confines of its prison - eager for freedom. The thin veil that separates the world of death from the world of life starts to dissolve, shearing as though in a wind that no shield can hold... moreIt isn't so easy to kill a telepath.

The possibility exists that it can't be destroyed. Evil will endure. It can't be taken, cured, or overcome. Night will cover the world no matter what. Faith may not be enough. Love may not survive.
