J. Fries is a part-time copy cataloguer and part-time writer. She enjoys reading, leatherworking, drawing, learning languages (or creating them), and dreaming up new ways to challenge her characters. She has always loved mysteries, and her interest in the fantasy genre and language creation started with J.R.R. Tolkien, whom she holds in the highest regard.
She loves animals, especially horses, and is loyal servant to her German shepherd and crested gecko. In return, they don’t mind her dry sense of humor or the times she speaks to them in terrible accents.
Nat and his mentor once hunted a murderer who used flame as his weapon. Now, years later, another fire-starter has risen. Nat, Mel, and their friends must sort past from present and find the new killer before more lives are lost—including their own.
The Eohim ruled a great kingdom—until the last wars forced them into exile, a people feared, hated…and hunted. A secret group has plans for those of Eohim descent. And unless Nat Ardon and Mel Rallano find the dangerous killer tormenting them, their blood will stain the very land their ancestors abandoned.
