How low can humankind sink and is it worth saving?
The Dragon Wine series is set on Margra, a post-apocalyptic world that has been impacted by its moon, Ruel, leaving a devastated planet. Human life is near its end. Chaos rains down from the sky as Shatterwing, the remains of the moon, hurls meteors to the surface with increasing frequency. This chaos is mirrored on Margra, as governments rise and fall and power is won and lost as humankind spirals to its lowest ebb.
Can Salinda and her companions save Margra from final moon fall?

About the Silverlands Series
In a land where oaths can’t be broken be careful what promises you make.
To break the binding oath is to risk the very magic of Argenterra.
Vorn and the first comers fleeing death and destruction came to Argenterra through the Crystal Gate. On arrival, they made a binding oath to not kill and in return the land gave them the given, a native magic. For over a thousand years they have prospered but now the ancient evil seeks Vorn’s descendants and reaches a hand into the land.
Oaths are bound with the given and every promise must be kept or the land’s magic will compel completion of the oath or prevent its breaking. Only a murder can sunder the binding oath. In his later years, Vorn prophesied that a time would come when the land would be ungiven. That time is near.
