Prepare to enter the magnificent Kingdom of Durundal with the first novel in the series - A Hare in the Wilderness.

 

When a child is born into the House of Gnaeus, death marks her from her very first breath, and the Emperor banishes Ajeya with her mother from the palace in Ataxata. Now, mother and child are forced to flee to the edge of the world in a race against time to find the clans.

 

For it is said that when war threatens the kingdom, one individual will be selected by prophecy to lead the people out of the land of darkness and reclaim the freedom which has been stolen.

​

An ancient evil is stirring, and its servants are becoming more cunning and manipulative as they scour the land for the chosen one, a prophesied hero who can deliver the world from darkness.

​

For centuries, humans, dwarves dragons and elves have lived side by side in peace. But now, the Dark Lord has vowed to plunge the kingdom into eternal darkness and rule with fear. Thus, the Fates instruct the birth of a prophesied child. One who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord and his Disciples of Death.
 
But this child of prophecy will need more than a sword and a supreme set of skills to survive - she will have to conquer the wilderness and find her place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts, and men have ultimate power. Only then will she discover her destiny is connected to an ancient past - and the future of the kingdoms depend on her.

Set in a high fantasy world where magic exists but only some can access it, Ajeya crosses paths with several inspirational men and women. Each one endures a life-changing, and sometimes perilous journey that is disclosed over the course of 12 books.
 

Inspired by ancient civilisations, scriptures, myths and legends, this series takes you on a journey of hope, despair, forgiveness and courage with relatable characters in a fantasy setting.
