BOOK ONE: EQUILLIAN’S KEY

Welcome to Equillian, a nautical world where pirates plague the seas, enchanted objects are outlawed, and a mysterious element whispers of unparalleled power.

Our story begins in a time when Equillian’s precincts stand united, but their people are divided between the wealthy and the impoverished. With the alchemists’ creations banned, steam technology is on the rise and flying ships are replacing the need for dragons.

Bastian and Felix live a simple life, picking pockets and pulling cons on aristocrats, dreaming of the chance to change their stars. But that’s all turned upside down on Bastian’s sixteenth birthday, when crashing the duchess’s engagement party doesn’t quite go as planned. Who would’ve guessed that conning the guests, stealing the castle’s prized artifacts and wooing the betrothed duchess would cause so much trouble? The event casts them both into an unexpected adventure that will challenge everything they know and change their world forever.

“This is the best fantasy fiction I have read in a long time! The plot was well imagined. The World Creation was very creative—with bits of steampunk added (like flying ships). The characters were believable. And the book kept me riveted. It was a page turner of the best order…Seriously, it is a great book by a new light in the fantasy fiction genre.”

Star-Locked:

A Fantasy Adventure of Fates Entwined

The highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning fantasy adventure, Equillian’s Key, and winner of the Eric Hoffer Award and a BRAG Medallion Honoree.

Bastian, Gwena, and Felix couldn’t be cast farther apart. Despite the friends’ separation, the threads of destiny bind them tightly together. The question is, can they endure their own perilous paths long enough to reunite?

Felix is high above the mainland on the floating Windswept Isles. As he aids the duchess in uncovering the truth behind her father’s disappearance, he becomes ensnared in the intricate web of Equillian’s corruption. Despite the danger that entails, his greatest challenge is the forbidden love growing in his heart for, The Jewel of Westdock.

Bastian remains captive on the infamous pirate ship, The Black Mary. The captain offers him his freedom in exchange for accomplishing an impossible task. His only hope to seeing Gwena and Felix again is to master the elusive Ghost Element and use it to unlock the laws of reality.

Gwena navigates the Heartland alone and stumbles upon one of the Alchemists’ secret wonders, The Wildsinger’s Club, a haven for the famed and elite. There she’s drawn into a magic show that promises to be everything she’s dreamed of, but will her death-defying act prove too deadly?

Find out the three friends fates as we follow them on their quest to reunite.
