Lord Alchemist

The Lord Alchemist must be immune to hostile brews. But in all Cymelia, there are only two: Iathor and his feckless brother. Kessa's a half-breed herb-witch, arrested for unintended crimes. When Iathor discovers her immunity, he'll do whatever he must to court her - guilty or not. All they have in common is alchemist's immunity, and an ability to get on each other's nerves. Will it be enough?

The Lord Alchemist must be immune to hostile potions. But in all of Cymelia, there are only three: Iathor, his brother Iasen, and the half-barbarian herb-witch, Kessa. Iathor has secured a betrothal, but his brother has vowed to prevent the marriage - by any means necessary. And Kessa's own dark secrets may sabotage any hope of a happy ending.

When sickness comes to the country of Cymelia, alchemists and herb-witches create the healing brews that save lives. But this illness is different; the usual measures have little effect. Master Iathor is his city's best hope to discover a cure – but even with his alchemical skills, the plague is spreading through the city, and amongst his own household... (Plague is a prequel to Herb-Witch.)

Jani, hired to blackmail the Lord Alchemist into disinheriting his "mongrel" heir, Iontho, mistakes said heir for a servant - and Iontho poses as her alchemically-bound minion to uncover her mysterious employer.

The Bear Prince is a collection of three folktales from a fictional universe. When small magics are real, what stories do parents tell their children at night? What tales do storytellers spin, so their listeners will toss them a few coins? Find out, in "The Bear Prince," "The Princess and the Sheep's Wool," and "The Jewel of Moon and Starlight."

Mortal women have always fascinated gods - and wind-spirits have carried news of a beautiful princess to the sun-god, Allyon. But his servant, sent to investigate, falls in love and defies his master. Narrated by the Wind-priest Ches, this is the story of the Morning Star. (Set in the same universe as "The Bear Prince," this is a fantasy folktale for slightly older ears.)
