For many years, the Seven Realms has been a peaceful land under one High King. A place untroubled by sorcery, in which the farmers of Heseldorn tend their fields, the warriors of Thaeonasta guard the pass to the Northern wastes, and the fellstalkers of Pendren continue their solitary wanderings on the wild fells. But it is also a land in which men touch iron ere they speak of elves, and the age-old alliance between the dwarves of the Grey Mountains and the men of Morièth has foundered in enmity and mistrust. Now King Praeledin is lost, a usurper sits on the throne of Arumet, and savage kralg overwhelm the land, murdering all in their path. If the Seven Realms is to be saved, a small company must battle dark magic, bloodthirsty pursuers, and their own age-old prejudices to find their lost King. This is a story of loyalty, friendship, sacrifice and love, for adult readers who enjoy Heroic Fantasy. The Rising Dark is the first book of The Charndras trilogy.

<p>Based around a dire production of 'Macbeth', The Better Part is a black comedy about ambition, desire, and superstition. Against her better judgement, Nairne MacKinney accepts the role of the Third Witch in 'Macbeth'. At her age, with her talent, Nairne should have been cast as the lead. Her companions confirm this. The charismatic actor playing Macbeth offers himself as a lover, if only she would be his stage wife. The spirit of the witch she is playing appears to insist on this. But stepping into the shoes of Shakespeare's most infamous female involves harming the beautiful, incompetent actress who has been miscast in the role. Accidents happen to those around her, but Nairne feels the curse of The Scottish Play has singled her out, leaving its footprints in the sand, riding along in her car. Whispering temptations. Will Nairne emulate Lady Macbeth by allowing ambition to ensnare her? The rewards seem almost worth the risk: an improved career, a breathtaking love affair. Can she resist? Or will she forfeit her integrity, perhaps even kill, in order to play the better part?</p>
