Glimmer Vale Chronicles

Book One: Glimmer Vale

On the run from their past, swordsmen Raedrick Baletier and Julian Hinderbrook search for a place of refuge where they can start over.

That search sends them through a remote mountain valley called Glimmer Vale, where unbeknownst to them, dark forces threaten the population’s lives and fortunes.

With their hopes of quiet passage through the Vale dashed, and facing a deadly conflict against overwhelming odds, Raedrick and Julian will need all of their wit, courage, and skill just to survive, let alone prevail.

Fans of sword and sorcery will enjoy this fast-paced tale of redemption set in a world of valor and magic.

Despite the harsh winter conditions, the constables form a rescue party and set off to find the injured man.

Book Five: The Falconer’s Stairs

Jared Tolburt twice almost cost Raedrick Baletier and Julian Hinderbrook their lives: once when he turned on them while they were fleeing the Army, and again when he unwittingly led a group of bandits into Glimmer Vale. 

Now, Tolburt intends to search out a hidden and well-guarded magical treasure, and Melanie Klemins has offered to accompany him.

Unwilling to trust Tolburt with Melanie’s safety, and with Raedrick unable to travel due to his wife’s pregnancy, Julian has to do the last thing he ever wanted: travel with and help the man he trusts least in the world.

Far from home and beset with dangers of all kinds, Julian, Melanie, and Tolburt will have to depend on each other even to survive, let alone succeed in their quest for The Falconer’s Stairs. 

The Falconer’s Stairs is the fifth book of the Glimmer Vale Chronicles, a far-reaching quest through a world of valor and magic.
