Keeper of the Flame (Book 1 of the Tapestry Series‪)‬

The mystical land of Draecus—a land closed off from all others for generations. In Mikaelia, it is remembered only in bedtime stories passed down through the ages.

The racial war for the lands of Mikaelia is over. The human female Jarnell fights her family’s wishes for a marriage that will unite two noble houses. Running away, she seeks out her elven friend, Dekion, and gains a startling companion in the form of a half-orscha warrior, Sahri-tah. In the upheaval following the devastating wars between the races of their land, the three companions must transcend their ingrained racial distrust to search for Dekion’s father, who was lost during the wars.

Following their only lead, given to them by a crazed man in the streets of Sel Lorst, they find themselves in the lost, magical land of Draecus where a war between humans and orscha has just begun. The companions become caught up in the war that crosses the once peaceful Draecus. They must fight to stay alive long enough for the portal to open again and allow them passage back to their own land. While they wait, Jarnell, a follower of the Goddess of passion, fights a growing desire to stay in the arms of Daedic of Draecus, the only man to ever bring to life the flames of passion in her body, mind, and soul…
