The purpose of this campaign is to re-release my epic fantasy series, The Chronicles of Parthalan. To make a long story short, two of the books were previously released, then I encountered a bump in the road. I have since had my rights returned. Now, I aim to release the entire six book series, beginning in June 2014. Here is the blurb for the first in the series (of note, the image above is the ebook cover for Heir to the Sun, for which I retain full rights. New artwork will be commissioned for the relaunch):

Heir to the Sun

The Faerie King has entered into a pact with the demon lord, trading his people's freedom for the might to conquer the nine realms. Two unlikely allies are determined to stop him: Asherah, enslaved by demons, and Caol'nir, a warrior sworn to defend the king.

When Asherah, stripped of both her memory and her dignity, learns that King Sahlgren is responsible for her captivity, she leads her fellow slaves in a daring escape and burns their prison to the ground. Then she learns that there are many more prisons across Parthalan, and embarks upon a campaign to free every last faerie.

In stark contrast to Asherah's struggles, Caol'nir lives the comfortable life of a temple guard. He is sworn to serve and defend the king, as his ancestors have done since time immemorial. Now a priestess has been murdered, and Caol'nir learns that Sahlgren's scheming is to blame. Determined to thwart the king, sacred oath or no, Caol'nir joins Asherah's rebellion. What Caol'nir doesn't know is that Sahlgren has promised the demon lord a woman of rare and singular beauty, a woman who is rumored to be the sun god's daughter. She also happens to be Caol'nir's mate.

The following five titles are:

The Virgin Queen

Latera’s Song

Rise of the Deva’shi

Golem

Elfsong

What will this money go toward?

All funds donated will go toward editing the series and cover art. My artist of choice? The uber-talented Rhea Ewing of Mystic Sheep Studios. Check out her work here: http://rheaewing.com/

I'm also looking to commission some interior art, and I would just love to have Slake Saunders involved. A sampling of her work can be found here: http://looklooklookitabook.deviantart.com/
