The Calling of the Three

Night-Threads: Book 1

Ru Emerson

The world of Zelharri, where magic reigns supreme, begins a chaotic existence after the death of the Duke. To usurp the throne and prevent the Duke's son, Aletto, from taking his rightful place, the Duke's bother, Jadek, marries his widow and exercises enormous power of Zelharri. Fearing that all the good in Zelharri will be unraveled, Aletto and his sister, Lialla, summon allies to aid them.

In this bewitching fantasy novel, three Californians are recruited into helping Aletto assume his royal position as Duke of Zelharri. The workaholic lawyer Jennifer; her irresponsible sister, Robyn; and Robyn's flippant son, Chris, must harness the mighty power of the Night-Threads to combat the sinister Jadek. The only problem is that they have no faith in this awesome power.

Three unsuspecting visitors arrive in a world of magical adventure, only to discover an ancient Thread-wielder has summoned them. For this sorceress, shapeshifter, and soldier, each is destined to play a vital role in restoring peace to the throne of the duke, Aletto, the rightful heir of Zelharri. But secret powers are at work, and for Lialla, the outcast duchess, intrigue and peril finds her at every turn. And while her powers are fierce and fearsome, the magic known as Hell-Light has an uncanny way of determining your fate. What had seemed a time of peace has suddenly erupted into something far more dangerous than any could have foresaw.

Night-Threads: Book 5

The kingdom of Rhadaz has fallen under a dark and deadly shadow, with Chris searching for its magical source. What he gets is more than he bargained for in a willful young woman who has mastered the art of the sword. Her name is Ariadne, a dark beauty with the coil of a cobra and eyes filled with distrust. Reluctantly joining forces, the two of them forge ahead to do battle with Zero, the addictive, dangerous drug that has taken command of Rhadaz. But can they defeat its ruthless overlord, one who has a shocking tie to Ariadne?

The world remains under the cold-blooded rule of an emperor gone mad, and it is only through the science of power that peace can be restored. But as her family finds the source of their world's many secrets--Chris with the dreaded drug Zero, Robyn finding happiness with Aletto--it is Jennifer's who finds herself readying for one last battle. Whoever holds the power of the sword may just triumph over the devastating power of dark magic.
