“The Storyteller's War is a rousing good tale that will delight the most ardent Chaucer enthusiasts and novices alike.” –Donna D. Conrad, bestselling author of The Magdalene Chronicles
March, 1366. Amid the chaos of a war-torn Spain, Geoffrey Chaucer—page to King Edward III and the son of a wine merchant—finds himself thrust into the heart of a boiling conflict between two brothers: King Pedro the Cruel of Castile and his half-brother, Enrique Trastámara.
But Chaucer’s task is far from simple. Sent as a reluctant spy by the king, he must locate the elusive mercenary Sir Hugh Calveley and persuade him to change sides in a war that could alter the fate of kingdoms. If Chaucer fails, he not only risks losing his life, but also his position at court, and the love of Pippa, the woman he cherishes.
Surrounded by ruthless enemies, seductive spies, and looming battles, Chaucer must rely on his wit, charm, and storytelling to survive the assassin’s blade and a seductress's schemes. As armies collide on the battlefield, Chaucer’s greatest challenge becomes not just turning the tide of war—but winning the battle for Pippa’s heart.
History, romance, and danger collide in this gripping tale of intrigue, loyalty, and love in medieval Europe.

A galaxy on the brink of war.
Newborn twins enter the universe carrying something no one fully understands: the Shard, an ancient alien intelligence long mistaken for a disease. It is not a sickness. It is a power. It is a weapon. It is a sentient force that has waited nearly ninety thousand years to awaken again.
The moment the twins take their first breath, everything changes.
The hunt begins.
The Federation unleashes its full strength, willing to burn entire worlds to seize what the children carry in their blood. To their pursuers, the twins are not children at all. They are strategic assets, the key to winning a war that has smoldered for generations and the means to unlock an ancient evil force capable of consuming everything.
With nowhere left to run, the family makes one final gamble.
Their only chance of survival lies on Earth, a planet erased from all official galactic records and believed lost for centuries. But Earth is no sanctuary. Beneath its surface, something older than civilization is stirring, a dormant and ravenous presence waiting to rise again.
As the twins grow, their abilities become increasingly difficult to hide. Their only hope lies with a sworn Protector and a sarcastic AI whose motives are as mysterious as the Shard itself.
The twins are not merely the key to survival.
They are the spark of a future that could save the galaxy… or end it forever.
