When giants attack her vineyard, a playwright wonders: are they a sorcerer's conjurings, or invaders from an undiscovered country? Joining forces with a long-lost friend and a mysterious seer, she learns they must either stop a prophecy … or face an unspeakable doom.

The Shadow Wars trilogy is a heroic fantasy inspired by Greek mythology, a love ignited with Ray Harryhausen's Clash of the Titans, and Robert Graves' Greek Gods and Heroes. Beginning with The Arcana, the trilogy takes you from an idyllic vineyard to lairs guarded by fantastic beasts, with thrilling quests via magic portals, all the way to the very gates of the cosmos itself. The Arcana has 39 chapters in addition to the prologue, and I will be posting it here in its entirety. Posting Schedule: Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 8 a.m. Detroit time (EST).
