Where faith meets fantasy and truth speaks above the lies

Discover the Series

An imposter rules the throne. A prophecy remains unfulfilled. The light is nearly gone.

In the kingdom of Tenebra, allegiance to the true King has been all but obliterated by a jealous rival. Only a handful of faithful subjects remain to challenge his authority and spread the truth; these are known as the Tiding Bearers. But after years of brutal slaughter, the rebels are hardly more than a legend and nothing stands between the false ruler and his ultimate victory—until a new generation takes up the cause and the world is thrown into a violent struggle between truth and deception.

Meet the unlikely heroes…

  • the Minstrel

    Growing up in the extravagant coastal capital, Mavis has been taught to crave wealth and beauty above all else. But what she really longs for is adventure, and a chance to prove herself. When she catches a strange old woman marketing some kind of "priceless treasure" in the market square, she realizes this is the chance she's been waiting for!

  • the Defender

    Orphaned as a child and enslaved to his parents' killer, Doran wants nothing more than to get free and have his revenge. But there seems little chance of either with a crippling limp and no sword training... Until he rescues a mysterious stranger and realizes there's more to her than meets the eye. She claims to know the way to freedom--and the secret to strength beyond his wildest dreams!

  • the Ambassador

    As the son of an Auteer philosopher, Errol has spent his whole life studying to prove his superior intelligence at the annual Spreadfeather symposium. But when an unexpected betrayal takes everything from him, he's left with nowhere to turn. That is, until a white-haired woman with piercing eyes invites him to search for the "priceless treasure."

Get to know me and my series through Grace Notes

This is where I blog about everything storycraft: from creating fantasy worlds and original magic systems, to honoring the Biblical themes of faith, hope, and love, or creating character arcs centered on Scripture.

If you were the kid that watched the behind-scenes interviews for all your favorite movies, you’ll love Grace Notes, because I’m dishing all the deets on how I crafted the Land of Tenebra and wrote the Tiding Bearer Trilogy.
