Ten Novel Series

1. The Courtesan Prince - The status quo is shaken up when egalitarian Rire discovers the Sevolite Empire and exposes all to irrefutable proof that a commoner sword dancer is actually racist Sevildom's long lost crown prince, Amel. Relationships destined to influence history are forged, and the stage set for power struggles in Amel's name. (Published 2005)
2. Righteous Anger - Sevildom reacts with the threat of a crusade against Rire, pitting father against son in the influential House of Nersal and straining the moral authority of Okal Rel to keep conflict within bounds compatible with life in the empire. (Published 2006)
3. Pretenders - In the wake of tragic set backs, progressive leaders find the strength, through friendships, to establish a new order at court, negotiated by the apparently powerless Amel. One of them is the legendary Ameron, returned from time slip.  (Coming 2008)
4. Throne Price - Erien's returns to his homeworld to champion his Reetion foster father, and causes the collapse of the uneasy truce among Sevildom's leadership in a series of shocks that end in sordid horror for some but overall affirms the power of Okal Rel to keep the peace for all. (Published 2003)
5. Far Arena - Rire resists diplomatic relations with Sevildom by claiming the moral high ground, thus straining the patience of House Nersal and dragging Amel through intense public interest in him as a victim of Sevildom.
6. Avim's Oath - Two unlikely princes of Sevildom, Erien and Amel, come to terms with each other and weilding power in the interests of reform
7. Healer's Sword - Social change within Sevildom is demonstrated through the life of Ilse Marin, a middle class Demish Sevolite for whom social mobility and non-traditional female roles become available thorough the work and friendship of Amel and Erien ... and an even more surprising romantic interest.
8. Gathering Storm - Nesak aggression and Silver Demish inertia threaten the new order, pushing Amel's diplomacy to the breaking point in the effort to understand and mediate. While at court, progress loosens the old fashioned moral code, leading to changes in directions its proponents find uncomfortable.
9. Holy War - Staved off for twenty years, a Nesak War finally plunges Sevildom into horrors that Okal Rel can no longer prevent, separating families and racking up a demoralizing death toll that undermines Erien's will to fight. Can a Nesak visionary inspired by Amel, revitalize Okal Rel in time to make a difference.
10. Unholy Science - Power exerted through bioscience was the greatest evil known to Okal Rel for a thousand years. Now medicine is honorable once more. But just when a war weary Sevildom least expects it, the past lashes out from the Reach of Luverthan. Can the tired and disillusioned leaders of change keep their heads? Or will history revert to righteous anger once again.
