Novels of Shannon

Princes and Priests

The Novels of Shannon – Book One

Princes and Priests begins as ten strangers survive a shipwreck inside the Great Barrier Shield that leaves them with few resources. With winter coming early on the northern coast, they must band together and step into this warped and wild continent. The priests feel uneasy with the quiet Purtan, Shannon, and questions are whispered as to whom he is. Is it just the magics of an ancient and nearly lost race, or is there something darker about him? Not only must they be wary of the warped hostile creatures of Backin, Shannon knows that they are being pursued by Gerome, the pontiff and once Shannon’s soul-bonded partner, in the deadliest game of all. Nearly weaponless and often at odds with one another, the unlikely company must learn to work together or be devoured by the nightmare landscape.

The Novels of Shannon – Book Two

A rash of dark and vile murders brings Fathers Oirion and James to the Purtan city of Brosten to investigate. Questions arise as to the source of the murders: is the Church at the root of this evil or merely covering the evidence. Following the missing year of Oirion’s life, the soul-bonded partners have reunited, but there is strain on their bond. On the other side of the world, Ivan, who recalls the missing year in the company of strangers on the warped continent of Brackin, has become a hermit until uninvited guests force to to face the truth of his life. Theo, once a weakling of a man, has stepped fully into the power bestowed on him through birth, experience, and skill. He is determined to right the wrongs done to him and to the Kingdom of Awens. Through hardships and most incredulous circumstances, members of the company that survived Brackin are being drawn together to aid and support one another in the fight to free Purt from the evil of Gerome, who is fraudulently both emperor and pontiff. The depth of the evil and the great web of interlocking events from the past to the present challenge these and other members of the company as they seek to free the world from the evil that threatens to overwhelm it.
