Welcome to a world full of noble heroes, good versus evil, and adventure that will sweep you away...
Darkness surrounds us on all sides, confusion creeps on our doorstep, and it feels like it’s a lost cause. We feel like we are the lost cause, and are simply a burden to bear. However, these ideas are just lies, but they can be easy to believe when one turns to the news and sees hopelessness for the hundredth time. It feels easier to give up than pick yourself up off the floor and fight.
The Halcyon Epics is a tale about people learning to get off the floor, pick up a sword, find strength in Someone beyond themselves, and learn how to fight.
The ultimate rebellion is not letting the pain win.
Darkness and loneliness want attention so badly, so what if there was a story about exposing their already dying demise?
This series is about learning that strength is not our own. Finding companionship, friendship, and love, when loneliness tells you that will never happen. Learning to fight for truth in a world that seems to have lost its way. Ultimately, finding hope when there only seems to be darkness.
Join Emma, Liam and their friends in this four-book epic fantasy series as they must confront the ghosts that haunt their pasts, the darkness that creeps closer to their present, and the bloodshed that may define their future, as they learn what strength means, how friendship is found, and the price of truth in the end.

My Theology
First and foremost I believe Jesus came to earth as the son of God, lived a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose on the third day to save us from our sins. I will always teach the Gospel of grace: that salvation comes through repentance of sins and acceptance of Christs free gift of salvation. Secondly, I believe the Bible is the infallible - without flaw - Word of God, lived and breath by God to be the guide in which all Christians should live. I believe the Bible is a living book that still has the power to change lives. All scripture references inside The Halcyon Epics will come from the ESV or the English Standard Version - this translation was chosen for comprehensive and reliability reasons.
