Door to Altharia (Trials of the Hopebreather: Book I)

Be a hero? He just wanted to be normal.

Alec Breen yearns to rise above the wreckage of his broken family. When two otherworldly beings plead with him to come to their mysterious realm, Alec must choose between the life he’s always hated and a future where nothing is certain, not even survival.

But timing is everything, even worlds away. Unfortunately for Alec, an ancient and insatiable evil has awakened, casting its insidious shadow across Altharia. With darkness threatening to conquer all, Alec discovers he is a hopebreather – a being with access to incredible power.

Will Alec survive long enough to master his new ability and give Altharia hope? Or will Khubas the Betrayer and his Kashani hordes conquer all?

The Warrens of Lotann (Book II of Trials of the Hopebreather)

Trust comes to a crossroads, and lives hang in the balance.

Only a few days following his arrival in the magical world of Altharia, Alec Breen is caught in the middle of a storm of events that quickly whirls beyond his control. Plagued by crippling self-doubt and visited by terrifying visions, he struggles to understand his place in Altharia and the purpose for his presence there. 

But time waits for no one. The Iridis Althar has been stolen, and Alec’s friends need his help to wrest the magical artifact away from Khubas the Betrayer… before it is too late. 

The path forward leads to the impenetrable Warrens of Lotann, a mystical jungle labyrinth where the only way out is through. Can Alec and his companions do the impossible and solve the puzzle of the Warrens? Can they find the hidden way to Dakmerra? 

And, of most concern to Alec, can they possibly hope to survive the ordeal?
