SCIENCE AND SORCERY DO NOT MIX-EXCEPT ON GRAMARYESkeptical, cynical Rod Gallowglass is a spacefaring man of science who does not believe in magic. He's also an operative of the agency SCENT, tasked with finding lost colony planets, then guiding them toward democracy and eventual membership in the galactic community.But when he stumbles across the strange new planet Gramarye, he's shocked to discover a medieval society full of witches and warlocks, elves and monsters. How is it even possible? Worse, Rod's advanced technology quickly gets him labeled a warlock, despite his constant denials.Moreover, the Kingdom is in political turmoil, with a young girl-queen on the brink of civil war with her rebellious lords. Rod slowly discovers off-world organizations are behind the unrest, trying to subtly corrupt Gramarye away from democratic rule. His mission is threatened at every turn by fascists, anarchists, and double-dealing royalists playing vicious political power games for the future of the most unique-and perhaps most important-planet in the galaxy.Aided only by a coven of teenage witches, a ragtag army of beggars, and his epileptic robot horse Fess, Rod decides the only way to thwart these destructive influences-both native and off-planet-is for him to become a part of the local fabric and lead Gramarye as one of their own. But to do so, Rod Gallowglass must put aside his own convictions and beliefs, and become a warlock, in spite of himself.

LOST IN TIME, FAR FROM HOME, SURROUNDED BY ENEMIESFive hundred years from their own time and place on the magical planet Gramarye, Rod and Gwen Gallowglass are held captive on another planet at the edge of Terran civilization -- a world where purple-skinned, fur-kilted men challenge them in primitive battle.But escaping this planet is only the first step - together, they must somehow flee all the way to Terra, wherein lies their only hope of returning to their own place and time.Lost in a strange, foreign universe, pursued and hounded by their enemies at every turn, Rod and Gwen must race across the galaxy, fighting for their survival, their freedom, and to return home.

THE FATE OF A KINGDOM RESTS ON FOUR CHILDREN.¿The Kingdom of Gramarye is spiraling into chaos, and the High Warlock is nowhere to be found.

But how can mere children, even with an elfin babysitter, stand against dragons and giants, witches and sorcerers? With armies on the march and monsters on the prowl, these four brave kids must work together and combine the skills of their mother's magic power with their father's training in order to save the kingdom... but only if they can save themselves first!

Can Gar unify the peoples of Siegfried, teach them to tolerate and live with one another in peace?

TO RULE THE WEAK¿¿ Magnus D'Armand, the Rogue Wizard, travels the stars fighting injustice and oppression, sowing the seeds of freedom and revolution throughout the galaxy.

Dozens of greedy warlords, ruling through fear and violence, wage never-ending petty wars over land and loot while the common folk struggle just to survive. Over the centuries, the history and knowledge of the original colonists has been forgotten, and the people have reverted to a medieval state.
