Books by TC Southwell
A doomed domain, a captive goddess and a young Dark God who must save the light… Even with Kayos, his spirit father, to guide him, Bane battles to deny the corrupting influence of the dark power.
When Lyriasharin’s father, Kayos, a Grey God from the times before reckoning, returns to Myrthran after a thousand years, he is upset to find a young mortal Dark God in his domain. However, Kayos soon discovers that Bane is the rarest of all the gods.
The Black Lord has been imprisoned for aeons by seven blue wards. Fed up with being a prisoner, he has stolen a human child and turned him into a mortal god by means of eighteen years of training that could easily be called torture. The mortal god, Bane, sets out to break the blue wards with the help of a dark army.
In an attempt to rescue Sabre, Tassin has rushed into danger, and she and Tarl have been taken prisoner. Their captor is a high king with odd ties to Myon Two, and Tassin discovers the truth behind Sabre’s origins.
When Sabre wakes as a captive on Myon Two, he resolves to avoid the fate of being subjected to experiments. However, escape from Myon Two has always been unachievable, although two kind young technicians attempt to find a means.
Sabre and Tassin reach Omega Five to discover that four years have passed on the planet and Dellon, Tassin’s cousin, is now King of Arlin. Tassin’s only ally is the young King Sharmian, who rules the smallest kingdom and is Torrian’s puppet.
After their ship is destroyed by an explosion, Tassin, Sabre and Tarl, the ex-cyber technician, escape a spacial anomaly only to land up on a Trykon warship. A race of giant humans, the Trykon species is the ultimate warrior breed.
All seems lost when Myon Two enforcer ships are on the verge of capturing Tassin, Sabre and two allies helping them return to Omega Five in an old freighter. In a last ditch attempt to save Tassin from Cybercorp, Sabre sends a universal distress message.
Tassin has attempted, for three years, to find a way to journey to the stars to free Sabre. Her search for the sword the Core lives in has been fruitless, until a serving boy finds a key one day, and Tassin discovers the sword’s whereabouts. She convinces the wicked weapon to take her to Sabre on the planet Ferrinon Four.
With time running out, Sabre decides to complete the hated cyber’s mission and obliterate the Death Zone. To do this, he must go to its source: the Core, a thing so powerful it bends space and time to draw slices of other worlds into its sphere of influence.
Sabre takes Queen Tassin into the Death Zone in order to escape her enemies – it’s the most dangerous place on the planet, a frightening realm where natural laws play no part and life hangs by a thread. Only Sabre’s cyber abilities, which he hates, will keep the Queen safe, ...
When enemy kings try to take over her kingdom on Omega V, a backwater planet, Queen Tassin is forced to flee. A strange warrior helps her to escape, but the Queen, who knows nothing of technology, has no idea that he is a cyborg – the deadliest hi-tech killing machine in existence.
