"The world building is superb, the writing is not overly simplistic... The pace is never slow and not so fast as to feel rushed... Dwarfs, magical assassins, light-wielding winged people, talking kick-a$$ animals, evil magical princes, and more." -- 5-star Amazon review for Scarlet and the Dragon's Burden

Scarlet Hopewell dreams about a magical world where winged creatures sculpt with light, where dogs talk, and where Scarlet is the guest of honor in an enchanted castle under the roots of a mighty oak tree. One day her father brings home a stray pup with eerie blue eyes. Dakota is loving and smart -- maybe too smart. News shows start to take an interest. Ominous storms have everyone on edge. Scarlet's dream world keeps getting darker and more vivid.

When three beautiful, sinister, silver-voiced men blow the front door of its hinges on Christmas Eve, Dakota leads the Hopewells in their escape through the winter woods -- right into the world of Scarlet's dreams.

A five-volume epic in the classic fantasy tradition that runs from Narnia and the Lord of the Rings through Harry Potter, with a strong female protagonist and a rich cast of characters, the Scarlet Hopewell series is a story about the power of the word, and the adventure of finding the light within.
