The Ramulas Chronicles

Ramulas' peaceful world as a farmer is shattered when he is pulled into the midst of a magical civil war between worlds. With the appearance of a mysterious young woman, Ramulas starts to unravel some of the mysteries of his forgotten childhood and secret ability to communicate with animals. He starts to fear for the safety of his family when his daughters reveal that they, too, have unexplained abilities, and the intrigue only deepens when he discovers that the very existence of their world is under threat and that he may be the key to averting impending doom.

With the help of the king's magician Shigar, Ramulas and Pip avoid capture and race to Sanctuary to find Oriel. A war with the legion is coming, and Oriel sends out a call across the kingdom for help, which is answered by thousands who come to Sanctuary. While the people train for the fight and dig into the mountain to free Oriel, Remus and his warlords weave magic to cross into this world to ravage everything. But King Zachary, angry with his magician for joining Ramulas and his people worshipping the escaped prisoner, prepares his army to march as soon as his spies locate Ramulas.
