by C. K. Miller (Author)

"Are you ever going to tell me what you dream about?" Ikane asked me. "I'm worried about you, Kea. Dreams don't cause nosebleeds."

Keatep Brendagger's guardian was once the greatest warrior in all of Roanfire, but dark memories have left him a pale shadow of the man he once was. Trying to uphold her mentor's honor, Kea struggles to make a life for herself as a soldier in the king's army.

Then the nightmares began.

Every night the same dream: a city in flames, bloodthirsty pirates rampaging through its streets, and above it all, the specter of a glowing ruby heirloom taunting her with the promise of power to save everyone, but only at a price.

As new threats to the kingdom arise, Kea's dream takes on a dangerous edge, rendering her physical training useless. Waking bloody-nosed and trembling, Kea soon learns that a bad dream is more than she thought.

The ruby is real, alive, and hiding a deadly secret. It hungers for more than just her soul; it craves Roanfire.

In this captivating young adult fantasy novel, Kea must embrace her destiny, overcome her doubt, and uncover the truth about her strange dream before it's too late. With danger at every turn and an ancient evil threatening to destroy everything she loves, will Kea be able to save Roanfire, or will its power turn her into the very thing she's fighting to stop? A new thrilling adventure is waiting for you inside Book 1 of the Roanfire Saga.

Author Biography

CK Miller spent most of her childhood roaming the countryside of Germany and playing in the medieval ruins hidden in the hills near the small village where she lived. At age 7 she was immersed in German schools where she fell in love with the rich medieval history and vivid folklore. Upon returning to America at the age of 14, German had become her first language. Feeling a bit homesick (and struggling with her English), she began to write, and has been writing ever since. When she is not writing or drawing, she can be found working in the garden or studying martial arts and natural medicine. She and her husband share their home near the Colorado Rocky Mountains with three beautiful boys.
