A Crown of Chains
“A Crown of Chains creatively retells a biblical tale to explore themes of providence, racism, faith, and fidelity.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 27, 2023

Lander’s Legacy
“Lander’s Legacy stacks modern thrills and complex characters on a foundation of biblical what-ifs.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 20, 2023

Prince Caspian
“Pacing starts slow but creature lore grows in C. S. Lewis’s sequel, introducing practical tyrants and talking-beast politics into a Narnian resistance.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 13, 2023

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Heralds Of The Crown: Fusion

The lives of the Criswell family are disrupted when a spacecraft crashes near their home. A single survivor is discovered amidst the wreckage—a boy named Dacke Lassiter.
Ashley Hodges Bazer · for adult, young adult readers · October 2014

The lives of the Criswell family are disrupted when a spacecraft crashes near their home. A single survivor is discovered amidst the wreckage—a boy named Dacke Lassiter.

Ten years pass, and Raven, the youngest of the Criswells, has fallen in love with Dacke. Their plans to run away together are foiled by news of a legendary challenge. As Protectors of the Logia faith, her family is honor-bound to defend the name of the Crown against the Strages—an evil, merciless faction bent on destroying the Logia and the Crown alike.

Raven prepares for the battle with her family, but when she faces Thaed, the leader of the Strages, her strength of will fails. Crushed by her actions, she is driven to the edge of sanity and the brink of suicide. The lure of retribution replaces that of self-annihilation, and Raven begins the hunt for Thaed.

Her rundown ship doesn’t get very far before she has to find other means of transport. She meets a lone pilot named Kaine Carrick who offers his assistance. Raven’s brothers catch up to them, and the ensuing adventure leads the small group across the system to creatures of supernatural lore. But will it lead her to the justice she seeks?

Book 2 of the Heralds of the Crown series.
