The Chronicles of Llad

A mischievous leprechaun. A land of magic and shadow. Tarn O'Grady's adventures weave folklore and fantasy into tales of wit, wonder, and danger. Step into the Land of Llad, where magic lingers in the mists and mischief waits at every turn. Tarn O'Grady is no ordinary leprechaun. With silver shoes on his feet, a twinkle in his eye, and a pocket full of riddles, he dances between light and shadow, weaving tricks and tales wherever he goes. Along the way he encounters dwarfs, elves, witches, banshees, and even the dark fairies--each meeting more dangerous, and delightful, than the last.

Tesian Gold is a companion novel to The Last Light of Llad, set in a seaport city where spices, secrets, and silence rule. As dark and holy artifacts pass unseen through its canals, a leprechaun, a teen-age black-market runner, an elf owl, a Mere of Sophi, a one-eyed strategist, and a gold-toothed bearded stranger are drawn together--each carrying more than they intend. This is a story of quiet courage, costly choices, and the unseen acts that prepare the world for war.

The Witching Hand was created by a coven of witches, known as the Meres of Sophi, to gain immortality, youth and beauty, and ultimate power. However, when the monstrous, vengeful force was born from a forbidden spell cast by the witches, the Hand rises in fury to destroy all in its path. Ladnar Windweaver, a half-elven novice of the Wizards of Toth, sets out on a desperate quest to stop the Witching Hand.

The citadel breathes destructive lies—and war erupts. When the Dark Lord Barshahor was defeated in The Witching Hand, he retreated to his castle to wreak havoc with the evil Voidstone. The people of Llad learned of his plans and gathered together to create a sacred orb made from relics of the five factions of the kingdom: witches, wizards, elves, dwarfs, and prairie dogs. A young, half-elven wizard volunteered to save the people if he could.

The gate of hell is opening—and he must stop it. Darkness rises in the land of Llad--and only unity, courage, and the light of truth can stand against it. In this epic conclusion to The Chronicles of Llad, the Windweavers—Ladnar, Darby, and Sheba--must unite elves, dwarfs, meres, wizards, prairie dogs, and the mysterious light fairies to stop Barshahor, the fallen wizard, who seeks to open the Gate of the Underworld.
