The Pale Princess
D. K. Holmberg
Stories claim the Pale Princess was a powerful sorcerer who once saved the world from a dangerous magic. Only a few know the truth.
Lan and Sophie lead a simple life with their grandparents, though both long for more. When their grandparents are murdered during a strange magical attack, their lives will be forever changed.
For Sophie, she's brought to a palace where she lives a luxurious life, while trying to understand what the strange sorcerer Ridaln wants from her. When she discovers a talent with magic, she learns poses that give her access to power that she had only heard about in the stories her Nana told.
For Lan, who's always wanted to learn the sword, the opportunity to train as a soldier makes him think he'll be able to learn and serve. What he finds is brutality and torment, though he does learn to fight. A chance encounter on the battlefield takes him away from that brutality, where he's given a chance to learn another way—and finally become the mythical Taihg soldier he's dreamed of being.
As Sophie tries to understand her purpose in the palace, and Lan longs for battle, they become a part of a dangerous war—and may be the only ones capable of stopping a dark power a dangerous sorcerer wants to once more unleash upon the world.
The Pale Princess begins an epic progression style fantasy series.

D. K. Holmberg
The magic of the Raven Queen ensures peace and stability. Some would see that time change.
Lan and Sophie cannot move on from the deadly attack. Both train to be ready for another attack, but all has been quiet.
Sophie continues to train as a sorcerer, though she has not learned from the Raven Queen as she had hoped. Life in the tower is slow, and Sophie longs for excitement.
While on patrol with the young prince, Lan and the Taihg encounter a strange attack. The rest of the Taihg are sent to investigate, but Lan is left behind, where he searches on his own.
Danger lurks closer than any realize. When Lan goes missing, Sophie must find him. What they uncover will change all that they know about the power in the world.
As Sophie struggles to find a way past the patterns the restrict her magic, and Lan searches to understand the powerful connection he now has, they are key to saving the Raven Queen—and all of Reyash—from the dark power that threatens the land.
It might already be too late to stop what a powerful sorcerer set into motion.

The Red Wrath
D. K. Holmberg
Legends claim the gods watch over their people, protecting the faithful. That’s only part of the story.
Lan spends his days serving the Taihg—and the Raven Queen—searching for the dangerous magic users that nearly destroyed him. He’s come close to answers, but has not yet found what he’s looking for. The borders have been strangely quiet.
While Sophie studies sorcery and has grown skilled, she longs for a greater challenge. When the Raven Queen tasks her with a strange assignment, Sophie thinks it’s her chance to finally earn the Raven Queen’s trust so that she can study alongside her.
Evidence of new attacks threatens the safety of the realm—and reveals a new target for Darius’s quest for power. It’s one few understand, and even fewer can stop.
Sophie and Lan must come to understand the truth of their magic before Darius reaches his goal. As they work together to protect the realm, their power might not be enough, and it might already be too late.
How can they stop the power of the gods?
The Red Wrath continues an epic progression style fantasy series.
