A series of interconnected sword-free romantic fantasy novels filled with wonder, peril, and love without boundaries. Meditation magic and mysticism are woven throughout this fantasy world. In The Living Waters , a pair of painted-faced nobles take a guided raft trip to a mythical wetlands where the water is said to come alive. In The Isle of a Thousand Worlds , an aging alchemist and a meditation acolyte seek the key to unlocking the fabled Thousand Worlds of the mind, each facing danger and finding love along the way. In Unpainted , an arranged marriage between an unlikely pair bears unexpected fruit as they discover there's much more to the world--and their hearts--than either of them imagined. These three stories are interconnected in various ways, but each can be read as a standalone. This series is loosely connected to the Maer Cycle and the Time Before, but the three series can be read in any order. Content warnings are included in each book and include explicit, consensual sex scenes (in The Isle of a Thousand Worlds and Unpainted ), mild violence, and a scene in The Living Waters that may be uncomfortable for those with trypophobia.
