Paperback

Digital

The Mystic Realms keep a tenuous peace after centuries of war. Forged into the Realms’ only Judge, demi-god Caleb Mauthisen is both peace maker and executioner of the Mystic Truce. Warrior-priest of preventing collateral damage amongst the Humans’ neutral space of Midgard. When Caleb is called to the charred remains of a scorched Sacred Grove outside Dover, rumours reignite tensions as Ares warns of war’s whisper. High Queen Selyka is hiding something in the roots and petals of her Fae Courts, and it smells of rot and ash.

Someone is burning the Groves planted from the bodies of fallen soldiers, eliminating their chance to rise again as sentient plants: Fae. Blasphemy and act of war in a single matchstick. Is the only Fae-cursed Mystic War Veteran left next in the line of fire? Tuija Draganova, immortal outcast bogatyr fights off the curse consuming her, and stands by Caleb’s side. Lives intertwined by love and shared combat.

Caught between the Mystic Truce, Ares’ demands for answers and concern for his cursed lover’s safety, Caleb descends into a roiling adventure to find the perpetrators and staunch the flow before the Mystic Realms lose faith in him and in peace. Little does he know the perpetrator Stana stole something far more precious than belief in gods and heroes.

Char & Ash is an emotional and captivating mythpunk / godpunk supernatural fantasy and the first novel in the mythic Judge of Mystics Saga.

In the aftermath of the Sacred Groves, Caleb wants out. Out of the Truce, out of his responsibilities as Judge, out of the Realms. He launches into a series of old journals to find the path, while those who love him try to bring him back from the brink, before he goes where they can't follow.  One last favour for Delilah puts Caleb on the path to salvaging her delinquent daughter from the soul-stealing Stana. Now free for the first time in a thousand years, Magni reels at the world of Midgard with only Delilah and Stana as his guides. Can Caleb & Raynar get to Magni in time?  Raynar and Livia go missing on a Truce mission, while a dazed Caleb and Karisma settle into life in the Hallowes. The Truce is on tenuous ground, once Cormac & Magni escape from the Fae Land's prison forest. Will Caleb come to his senses quick enough? Why is one woman's lullaby enough to bring peace to all Realms?
