The Redemption

The first book in The Redemption series, an epic fantasy in which the heroes, the "chosen," must find three keys that will enable them to send Gar, the Lord of Evil, into oblivion, freeing the people from his corrupting influence; the chosen begin, however, ignorant of their call, each of them marked and damaged by Gar, which leads them to be rejected by those whom they would save.

Following their victory over Whitesun and Gar, and mourning the loss of Klare, the chosen seek the incantation that will enable them to restore Klaybear's wife; their victory is not without cost, for both Holvar and Karble, the seklesi and kortexi orders, have been destroyed. Their only hope is to find the secret fortress of Potimus, original thief, which fortress protects this lost incantation.

In this fourth book of The Redemption series, the chosen continue their search for Melbarth's rod while the general populace actively seek to destroy them; they locate the missing rod and confront the rod's terrible guardian.

In this second book of The Redemption series, the chosen seek out the staff of the first kailu, Shigmar, and discover the heavy consequences of using such a powerful artifact to save the city and school of the kailum.

The forces are marshaling; the final battle approaches, which will decide the fate of the world. The remaining chosen must gather the survivors of the land to face the final assault of the forces of evil, and Gar's champion, a monstrous creation that guards the entrance into the lair of the Lord of Evil.

The chosen begin their search for the attacker of Shigmar, who holds Melbarth's Rod, in their effort to recover the rod. This search leads them deep into the swamp named Mariskal where they find the solitary monsters have banded together and begun to attack the areas nearest the Mariskal.

In the fifth volume of the series, the chosen, flush from their victory over Gwenatera, and their rejection of Gar, they move against the red kailum, testing their newly discovered invulnerability, but this power comes with a cost: Gar and his minions know exactly where they are. This enables Gar's minions to snatch one of the chosen, leaving them vulnerable and clueless to his location. . . .
