Meanwhile, Megan and Brandawyn Alenar, sent on a secret mission to the south, run into problems of their own in tracking down ancient secrets that could lift the oppressed people of their homeland of Torosc out of tyranny… But lurking in the shadows, the undead sorcerer-princess, the Dark Rider, waits, her shadowy plots and plans designed to doom them all…

A route to fantasy fiction through the aerospace industry may seem an odd one to take, but PG Badzey has been writing stories since grammar school and has never stopped. A trained systems engineer, he kept up with creative writing and coursework throughout a career working on the C-17 airlifter, the International Space Station, the Delta IV Rocket and the James Webb Space Telescope. He lists JRR Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Katherine Kurtz, Christopher Stasheff, Terry Brooks and C. Dale Brittain as his favorite authors. Previous publications include short stories published in Dragonlaugh, an online fantasy humor magazine. Whitehorse Peak is the debut novel in the Grey Riders trilogy, which continues with Eye of Truth and Helm of Shadows. He resides in California with his wife and two sons, where he somehow finds time for church ministries, coaching youth sports, and martial arts.
