The interconnected stories in this book are diverse, and span several decades. They range from an adventure to find a fallen star, hunting a mythical beast, building up the settlement, and exploring the wider world. As with Peter’s first two novels, this book is part guide to survival, and part guide to homesteading and living off the land. This book is set just after the end of the first two, which converged at the end. All three books are told without specific dialogue, as if being recounted around a campfire by an old friend.

For she holds the key to power in Caledonia. Gain her, and you gain the Kingdom.

There are no happily ever afters in the new Undead World. There are no vacations or time-outs or do-overs. There's only the endless daily grind of living or the shockingly horrific fact of death that hangs over every living creature left on the face of the earth. For some, that death lies in a single mistake or a moment of bad luck, or simply in fate. For others, that hard death hounds them day and night, relentlessly.

... und in der Dunkelheit lauert die Gefahr. Das muss der junge Arlen auf bittere Weise selbst erfahren.

Die Menschheit ist gefangen in einem Albtraum: Jede Nacht steigen Dämonen aus dem Boden empor und machen Jagd auf alle Lebewesen. Nur wenige wagen es, diesen Kreaturen zu widerstehen, unter ihnen Arlen, der tätowierte Mann, und Jardir, der Anführer der Wüstenkrieger. Doch die Welt duldet nur einen Erlöser der Menschheit, und ein Krieg scheint unvermeidlich - während sich in den Tiefen der Finsternis das Heer der Dämonen zum Marsch rüstet und eine blutige Zukunft heraufdämmert.

The gods who created this world have abandoned it. In their mercy, however, they chained the rogue god - and the monstrous creatures he created to plague mortalkind - in the vast and inhospitable wasteland of the Bourne. The magical Veil that contains them has protected humankind for millennia, and the monsters are little more than tales told to frighten children. But the Veil has become weak and creatures of Nightmare have come through. To fight them, the races of men must form a great alliance to try and stop the creatures. But there is dissent.

Ella came to the magical Hidden Lands thinking she was on the greatest adventure of a lifetime. Instead she accidentally helped to destroy the beautiful valley of the Fey. Now, hunted as criminals by the Den, she and Aric must flee the destruction they have wrought. America beckons and so does one last mystery; one that can only bring more death. As much as Eireden wants to join Ella, his honor won't allow it - she has chosen Aric, and besides he has a name and a throne to fight for.

Talonsphere, the third book of the Legends of Marithia series.

In the aftermath of the Battle of the Elven Woods, the two legends of Marithian prophecy are both dangerously close to death as Marithia suffers under the powers of the Blood Red Moon. Vartan, prophesied to save Marithia, lays spellbound under the protection of the mythical dragons. The vampire sorceress Kassina, prophesied to bring about their Armageddon, has been moved to the underworld by the demon lord himself, Shindar.

When her sorceress mother and vampire king father are brutally murdered, Kassina makes a pact with Shindar, the Demon of Darkness. In exchange for her soul, Kassina obtains power to become the most feared sorceress in all the lands, and vows to exact her revenge on the people for the deaths of her parents.

Ella's life could not have been duller. She works, she breathes, and she follows the rules. But once she's swept off her feet by the mysterious and alluring Eireden, Ella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn as she becomes enmeshed in a deadly, magical game where lives and hidden kingdoms hang in the balance and where no one asks who she is. Instead they wonder what she is. To be precise, she is bait.
