The Anvil and Anchor Series

Book 2
The Noble Lie
What begins as a simple masquerade becomes a dangerous game of hearts and crowns in this sweeping romantic adventure.
Ibex, the fierce blacksmith of Ryansport, has found love with the mysterious merchant captain Jack—but their passionate romance is built on carefully constructed lies. When Jack proposes they travel as Lord and Lady Zephyr, ship outfitters of noble birth, Ibex agrees to the charade, never suspecting the true depths of her lover's deception.
Their grand adventure takes them from the wine-soaked valleys of the Arbor to the glittering courts of Gulltown, where they must navigate treacherous social waters while maintaining their elaborate fiction. Ibex learns the arts of nobility—fine dining, proper speech, and courtly manners—while Jack teaches her that sometimes the greatest truths are hidden behind the most beautiful lies.
But danger shadows their every step. The mysterious Black Lotus Order seeks Jack for reasons that threaten to expose secrets from his carefully buried past. When a prophetic dream warns Ibex of approaching threats, she begins to suspect that her merchant captain is far more than he appears.
Their journey leads them through sacred groves where ancient weirwood trees whisper cryptic prophecies, to mountain caves where passion blazes under starlit skies, and finally to the war-torn Reach where a king offers them a chance at legitimate nobility.
King Paul Rayborne, rebuilding his devastated realm of Highgarden, grants them true titles in exchange for their wealth and skills—transforming their pretend marriage into something gloriously real.
Yet even as Lord and Lady Zephyr find happiness in their new roles, shadows gather on the horizon. The destruction of Highgarden by a false king scatters them across the known world, testing whether their love can survive separation, exile, and the revelation of truths that could destroy everything they've built together.
From the ashes of destroyed castles to the tropical paradise of the Summer Islands, from the forges where steel meets fire to the bedchambers where hearts meet destiny, this is a tale of two souls who dared to reinvent themselves and discovered that the greatest adventures begin when you're brave enough to love without reservation.
Rich with political intrigue, passionate romance, and swashbuckling adventure, "The Noble Lie" weaves a story of transformation where a simple blacksmith and a mysterious sea captain prove that love truly can conquer all—if you're willing to fight for it.

Threads of Sanctuary
When blacksmith Alana "Ibex" Zephyr discovers that white-hot metal can cut the legendary ghost silk, she unlocks a secret that kingdoms would kill to possess. But in the island realm of Walano, secrets attract the wrong kind of attention.
A master thief named Lyra has stolen the kingdom's most precious ghost silk using a false flag operation that implicates the fallen kingdom of AmberHurst. But when someone steals the silk from her, a trail of deception winds through the highest levels of power.
Captain Paul Draygon, the deposed king of AmberHurst, carries burdens heavier than his lost crown. When he discovers the smuggler Marnaxes with stolen goods, his judgment turns brutal. A man dies in a gibbet under his watch. Now accused of murder, with his daughter Golden held as collateral for his behavior, Paul must navigate a court that sees him as both fallen royalty and common criminal.
Captain Geoff Nero believes in justice, but justice in Walano has become a tangled web. His investigation reveals conspiracy reaching from the docks of Gulltown where illegal weapons flow, to diplomatic corridors where Prince Gregory negotiates with Omboru, to the castle's very foundations. Every answer spawns three more questions.
As tensions escalate and the mystery of the ghost silk island looms larger, alliances fracture. Gregory must balance friendship with duty. Paul must choose between redemption and revenge. Geoff must decide how much truth the kingdom can bear. The seamstress Nara, Princess Zana, Prince Tavi, and the enigmatic Alana all hold pieces of a puzzle no one can fully see.
In a world where fabric stops blades and secrets cut deeper than swords, where fallen kings become prisoners and thieves become pawns, the threads holding sanctuary together are unraveling. The ghost silk's origin remains hidden on a mysterious island, but the hunt for it has already torn Walano apart from within.
Some threads bind. Some threads cut. And some, once pulled, unravel everything. When Paul is finally released with nothing but a fishing boat and broken trust, the real questions remain: Who possesses the ghost silk? Where is the island? And can any sanctuary survive when its foundations are built on lies?
Book 5
The Butterfly Effect
In the glittering courts of the Summer Isles, small actions ripple into consequences that change everything. Prince Gregory of Walano faces a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the fragile peace he's worked so hard to build—barrels bearing his family's seal have been discovered smuggling illegal weapons to Westeros. As he races to uncover the truth before war erupts, he finds an unexpected ally in Lady Eve, whose sharp mind and compassionate heart become essential to both his investigation and his future.
Meanwhile, Captain Paul Rayborne—formerly King of Amberhurst—has finally broken free from the suffocating world of politics and diplomacy. Gifted with a magnificent swan ship and accompanied by his daughter Golden with his trusted friends Ibex/Alana and Jonathan Zephyr, Paul sets sail for the mysterious Axe Island, following cryptic clues about "moth-cloth" that hint at something far more valuable: the legendary ghost silk.
When they discover Axe Island—a butterfly-covered paradise where cocoons are transformed into shimmering fabric—Paul and Jonathan must pose as the late Captain Marnaxes's business partners to infiltrate the operation. The island's workers, led by the grieving Baxten, welcome them desperately, having lost their anchor when Marnaxes died. As Paul and Jonathan learn the delicate arts of degumming and reeling silk cocoons, they begin to understand this is more than a simple smuggling operation.
The key to ghost silk's extraordinary properties lies with Silvain, a deaf-mute alchemist whose pain runs as deep as his knowledge. When Paul has Jonathan ask his wife Alana—the formidable blacksmith known as Ibex—to extract the recipe from the old man, she discovers something unexpected: Silvain's silence isn't a disability but a choice, born from unbearable grief over losing his wife and daughter to fever. His ghost silk recipe isn't just a trade secret—it's the last connection to the family he loved.
Alana refuses to manipulate a broken man for profit, challenging Paul to consider what truly matters. Is the ghost silk recipe worth crushing what remains of Silvain's spirit? As they grapple with this moral dilemma, they realize the island holds darker secrets. The forbidden area beyond the fence, the dangerous caterpillars that produce the silk, and the brutal economics of the trade all point to something more sinister than simple commerce.
Back in Walano, Gregory's investigation into the weapons smuggling intensifies. With his Hand Zena and Captain Geoff Nero, he sets elaborate traps to catch the conspirators, even as he navigates his growing relationship with Eve. Political pressure mounts as questions arise about his involvement, forcing Gregory to prove his innocence while hunting those truly responsible.
Two investigations, separated by sea but connected by threads of deception, possibly begin to converge. And the choices made by Gregory, Paul, Jonathan, and Alana will create ripples that change not just their own lives, but the fate of kingdoms.
In a world where silk is currency and secrets are deadly, sometimes the smallest gesture—like befriending a grieving alchemist or questioning the price of ambition—can transform everything. The Butterfly Effect explores how compassion and integrity can be as powerful as any conspiracy, and how the courage to choose differently can alter the course of history.
