Three strangers race across two countries with only one goal: to survive.
Kerek, Matasi, and Vikland are three countries squabbling like quarrelsome siblings. The Kerek King has allowed banditry against anyone with a different language or skin color, and the Vikland Empress has had enough of her travelers injured and killed outside of her borders. Matasi has also suffered from Kereks brutality but has the money and power or so the Triune Council believes to break Kerek without bloodshed.
In a war of words and weapons, who will win? For when blood is shed, it is always the young and the poor who pay the greatest price.
The Tales of Zren Janin are stories of adventure, political intrigue, soldiers, spies, and bravery where no one is safe, promises are casually broken, and justice demands a price.
For readers who like great world building in a South Pacific setting, heart-pounding escapes, stories about spies, saboteurs, and survivors when the odds are never in their favor.
A deliberately paced work, but one with an expansive and ultimately engrossing setting. Kirkus review
new readers will fall for Zren, who often doubts himself and his abilities but tries his hardest to be whatever his friends need him to be. Although this fantasy tale is written for young adults, its sure to appeal to adult readers as well. Kirkus review of War and Wrens
