About this series
Ancient legends don’t come back to life. Until they do...
The vast, winged draykoni once ruled the skies of the Seven Realms, uncontested and unstoppable — so the stories say.
But they are only tales. Aren't they?
A shy young woman is about to learn that sometimes, even the most far-fetched story might prove to be the plain, simple truth.
In book one, Draykon: When Llandry Sanfaer discovers a new type of jewel, her life changes forever. Wonderful and terrible, the gem exerts a strange influence over those who behold it. Soon people are dying for it — and Llandry herself becomes a target. This is only the beginning.
In book two, Lokant: the long-vanished draykoni race have returned, but with them comes another mystery. Who are the enigmatic, white-haired sorcerers stalking the draykoni across the Worlds? And what do they want with Llandry? As war builds between humankind and draykoni, Lady Evastany must uncover the truth about her own unique heritage — before it’s too late.
In book three, Orlind: War has broken out between the humans of the Seven Realms and the long-lost draykoni race. As Llandry fights to defend her home, Eva begins a desperate quest into the heart of the mystical Lokant Libraries — a quest that will lead her deep into the mysteries of the long-lost Seventh Realm.
From a uniquely imaginative author comes an epic tale of high magic, compelling mystery and ferocious dragons.

1
Ancient legends don’t come back to life. Until they do... Legends tell of creatures the size of houses, with wings as vast as the sails of great ships. Their scaled hides glittered like caskets of jewels, and from their massive jaws they breathed gouts of pure fire. The draykoni once ruled the skies of the Seven Realms, uncontested and unstoppable — so the stories say. But they are only tales. Aren't they? When Llandry Sanfaer discovers a new type of jewel, her life changes forever. Wonderful and terrible, the gem exerts a strange influence over those who behold it. Soon people are dying for it, and Llandry herself becomes a target. This is only the beginning. What is this starry jewel, that no one can resist? Who is the killer that stalks the night, stealing the gems from their murdered owners? And why does the gem call so powerfully, so irresistibly, to Llandry herself? Llandry's destiny cannot be denied. A shy jeweller is about to learn that sometimes, even the most far-fetched story might prove to be the plain, simple truth. An epic tale of magic, mystery and dragons from the author of the Malykant Mysteries. Step into the dark...
- Lokant
2
Once naught but a legend, the fearsome draykoni have returned to the Seven Realms. For Llandry Sanfaer, their coming changes everything - forever. Their story and hers are inextricably bound, and there’ll be no going back. For Lady Eva Glostrum, questions abound. Who are the enigmatic sorcerers who woke the slumbering draykoni? Their powers break the bounds of possibility. With one dead and one vanished - literally - there’s nothing to go on save a mysterious book, its cover marked with the strange word “Lokant.” As war builds between humankind and the draykoni, Eva and Llandry both must learn the truth about the white-haired witches. What do they have to do with Eva’s own heritage? And why does Llandry appear to be their primary target? The epic story begun in Draykon continues in Lokant: more mystery, more magic, more suspense...
- Orlind
3
Orlind. Locked behind impassable mountains, buried under the weight of a vast — and terrible — history, the Seventh Realm has remained a mystery all the long ages through. Until now. For the Lokant sorcerers’ power and might grows by the day — and all their thought is bent upon Orlind. What secrets lie hidden behind so ancient an enchantment? What powers could be worth a war to win? For war has come to the Seven. The draykoni are on the attack — and Llandry’s home city is first in the firing line. As Llandry fights to defend her home, Eva sets out upon the trail of the Lokant leader, Krays. If he’s bound for Orlind, then so is she — and what she finds there may change the course of history forever. The mystery begun in Draykon reaches its climax in Orlind: an epic tale of valour and secrets, darkness and hope.
- Llandry
4
Draykoni do not die. Not truly. Not forever. So we thought. We have been proved wrong. A killer stalks the Off-Worlds, someone with the means and the will to extinguish even the oldest of draykon souls. But why would anybody do such a thing, and how? I am Llandry Sanfaer: shapeshifter, ambassador, colony leader. My people are dying beyond hope of revival, and it falls to me to stop it. But the killer leaves nothing behind — not a single clue. Worse, the corrupted energy of Orlind has broken its confines. It's spreading. If it isn’t stopped, all the Worlds could go under. With my people and my Worlds under threat, I'll need all my wits, my strength, and every ally I can muster to set things right. It’s going to be a hard fight.
- Evastany
5
When Lokants get involved in our worlds, it always means trouble. They’re impossibly powerful, and they definitely know too much. Dangerous. Now Lokant-blooded mortals are going missing, and there’s no question where the responsibility lies. But what do the Lokant sorcerers want with their half-blood descendants? On top of which, there’s a Master Lokantor showing far too much interest in the realm of Orlind. How the two are connected I do not know, but it’s becoming imperative to find out. If they aren’t stopped, these people will take our Worlds apart piece by piece until they get what they want. They’ve done it before. It’s my job to make sure they don’t do it again.
