TARMUN
VYKERS
His
awestruck opponents call him The Reaper, an iron-willed man with no
memory of his past, a ruthless champion who has risen to the level of
death incarnate.
But
The Reaper has collected a legion of enemies as he cut a bloody swath
through the greatest of heroes and villains. And these dogs have
finally had their day, exacting a revenge both cruel and
creative.
Wandering
lost, horribly disfigured and unable to fight, Vykers stumbles across
the bones of a half-buried skeleton that can transform his ruined
body in an inconceivable way. But first he must make a devil’s pact
with…
ARUNE
A
secretive, ghostly sorceress with ambitions of her own. If Vykers
wants to wield a sword again, he must surrender to Arune that which
he holds most dear. But can he trust this ethereal enchantress to
hold up her end of their dangerous bargain?
Vykers
has few good choices, and he must make them quickly, for an
impossibly talented and savage wizard has arisen to threaten all of
humanity…
THE
END OF ALL THINGS
Once
an autistic boy hardly able to speak, The End has evolved into a
supernatural terror bent on extinguishing all life. A fearsome and
unequaled tactician, The End is the only person who doesn’t fear
“The Reaper.”
To
have any hope of defeating this bloodthirsty mage, Vykers must gather
the strangest, most dangerous cohort of killers ever assembled. Then
he must seek out the only weapon that can defeat this terrible
adversary…
THE
EPIC BATTLE
Behold
the greatest clash of men, monsters, and Fey that the kingdom has
ever known. Vykers, at the head of his outnumbered contingent,
launches a desperate attack against The End, with the fate of the
world hanging in the balance.
But
The End is a creature worthy of his name. He has forged a secret
weapon, a wicked and terrible instrument that will break through
Vykers’ defenses and exact a devastating toll.
Only
one thing is certain, this extraordinary battle will end in a way
that no one could have predicted!

Treachery Book 2
Three
years have passed since Tarmun Vykers’ victory over the mad
sorcerer who called himself the End-of-All-Things. But they’ve been
three long years, confined to a sick bed with a grievous wound that
will not heal, cannot be healed by any means known to man. And then
something unthinkable happens, and Vykers is summoned once again to
save the kingdom.
This
same mysterious event ensnares Long Pete and his companions,
reuniting them for a mission whose consequences none can anticipate
and not all will survive. Will Vykers master his wound, or will it
finally end him? Can Long Pete serve both his Queen and his family?
And what of the A’Shea, Aoife, who finds herself torn between her
faith and her powerful attraction to the Reaper? In a world in which
the gods play with the fates of men as mischievous boys torture
insects, nothing but strife is certain.

Virgin Queen herself. Meanwhile, pieces to the puzzle of Vykers’
origins begin to fall into place, revealing people and purposes both
unexpected and heretofore unimaginable. And then there is the

Treachery Book 5
Tarmun
Vykers, the Reaper, has battled his way across time and two
continents, toppling kingdoms and empires alike and killing untold
thousands in the process. And he has never really known why.
But
he’s about to find out.
And
with this new knowledge must come a reckoning—with the Queen, who
has manipulated Vykers every step of the way, with the Emperor, who
would take what is rightfully the Reaper’s, and even with the gods
themselves.
It
is time for the Reaper to do what he does best.
