The Amber Forge
Seventeen years ago, forgemaster Elara Maeve was exiled from the desert city of Kalrath, branded a traitor for crafting weapons too dangerous for mortal hands. Her daughter, Malia, has lived with the shame, a shadow clinging tighter than desert dust. But the whispers of the past are stirring. When Malia’s father vanishes, leaving behind a shard of pulsating amber, her solitary life shatters. The shard speaks to her, echoes of a forgotten legacy intertwined with Kalrath’s very foundations—a legacy that warns of ash-born horrors rising from the ruins of a fallen empire, their whispers promising an eternity of silent dust. Driven by desperate hope, Malia descends into Kalrath’s shadowed underbelly, a labyrinth of forgotten tunnels and dangerous secrets. She’s not alone. Rhys, a thief with quicksilver fingers and a sarcastic wit, sees her quest as his ticket to freedom. Lyra, a warrior haunted by vengeance, sees the Amber Forge as a weapon to shatter her gilded cage of grief. Bound by a shared wound, this unlikely trio ignites a spark of rebellion in the suffocating city. Within the forge’s molten heart, ancient murals whisper tales of a forgotten age, of weapons crafted not for conquest, but defense. Malia discovers her own inherited gift: the ability to weave the amber’s power, to shape it, to command it. But the forge demands a price, a tithe of memory and identity paid in sorrow and blood. As the ash-born intensify their assault, Malia must confront not only the encroaching darkness and the city’s corrupt elite but also the seductive whisper of the forge’s power. Will she forge the ultimate weapon, risking becoming the very thing she fights against? Or will she find another way, a melody of hope to awaken the dormant power within the city itself? The fate of Kalrath rests on her choice, a choice that will determine whether the city rises from the ashes or is consumed by them.

In her middle years, the mining dwarf Ember is well set in her ways. Her position as the master blacksmith of Eldur Hollow is a surety that has never been challenged. However, after Ember sees a green light cross the sky, she swings her hammer in her forge and sets the whole burrow ablaze, destroying all she has worked decades to create. Unbeknownst to any in Ambergrove outside the forbidden lands, the Age of Magic has begun. Kaenye, the god of fire, is Ember’s only hope at learning how to control her newfound magic and return to the life she’s always known. With nothing but meager supplies and a command to find a woman in a red dress in Port Albatross, Ember leaves her home behind and ventures into a world that distrusts her and the destruction that unwittingly comes at her hands. Ember is a maker, but harnessing her magic and convincing those she meets—and herself—that fire magic is not something to fear is a task for a giant, not a mining dwarf. As Ember relearns how to live, she also learns that magic has a purpose, and she is not the only one who needs to learn how to harness her fire. This mining dwarf has her heart set on returning to the forge, but as long as there is an ember, the fire will burn—and the life within the flame is not always what we expect.
Adversary
Being a telepath means being a warrior. Eighteen-year-old Amber is the youngest of the five telepaths who protect the hundred million citizens of one of the great hive cities of twenty-sixth century Earth. As her city celebrates the start of a New Year, one of the other telepaths must stop work to have lifesaving surgery. Amber is already worried how she and her unit will cope with the increased workload, but then she finds herself facing twin enemies as well. Inside her city, Keith takes advantage of his increasingly powerful position as one of only four working telepaths. Outside her city, Hive Genex sends the devious Adversary Aura to lead their defence against charges of attempting to kidnap Amber. (Cover depicts Adversary Aura of Hive Genex.)
