1. Cenotaph Road
His path is set, but it could all end in darkness…
After a good night goes badly wrong, Dar-elLan-Martak finds himself on the run for a murder he didn’t commit.
With the viscious and much-hated grey soldiers fast on his toes, Lan must find a way to escape – and Cenotaph Road may just be the answer to that.
Legend has it that if you lie down in the crypt of a long-dead hero, when the moon is full and the clock strikes midnight, you will be transported … elsewhere.
But Lan soon discovers that one cannot escape ones problems so easily.
Hoping for a safe haven, he finds only a stronger desire for vengeance on the other side.
With an arachnid companion at his side and a treacherous journey ahead of him, Lan must stay hidden from the grey soliders that litter every world, all whilst seeking vengeance for the death of his love.
3. World of Mazes
Lan Martak and his giant (but timid) arachnid companion Krek are not the only beings traveling the road between worlds. The wizard Claybore wants to use it to find all the pieces of his disassembled body, so his evil can reign forever.
Meanwhile, the road leads to the lair of the master of illusion, Luister len-Larrotti, who has captured the beautiful Inyx by becoming the image of all she loves.
Only Lan can save her and stop Claybore. His own magic is growing… but will it grow fast enough?
4. Iron Tongue
Krek, the giant talking spider, on the run from his cannibalistic mate…
Inyx, the slender dark-haired beauty, master of warfare…
These are the allies of Dar-el Lan-Martek. They have banded with Lan against Claybore, the nefarious, fleshless wizard who searches for his dismembered body and his lost powers – and who has once again slipped through the portals to the Cenotaph Road. Lan and his allies have only one means to stop Claybore: They must follow their enemy to an unknown world, a planet of warring empires and vast realms of magic, a planet where even with Lan’s growing command of the intricacies of sorcery, The Cenotaph Road could be a dead end…
5. Fire and Fog
There can be only one winner in this duel of magics. For he who rules the Cenotaph Road must stand alone…
Possessing a powerful magic able to smash cities and wreck entire worlds, Lan Martak now faces the most dangerous battle of all. With the help of the beautiful Inyx and his trusty companion, the spider Krek, he must strip the evil sorcerer Claybore of his power.With Claybore’s tongue and its spellbinding powers as his own, Lan is armed with a formidable weapon. Yet still the disembodied sorcerer is a ruthless adversary. Acid rain, killer fog, and warring gnomes all block Lan’s path. Then he falls in a sensuous trap, lured by a beautiful and seductive pawn in Claybore’s evil game…
6. Pillar of Night
Lan Martak and his arachnid companion Krek were determined to find out. Only they had the power to stop the half-wizard, half-machine Claybore, who hoped to rebuild his dismantled body and his evil empire – and whose grey-clad legionnaires controlled the Cenotaph Road.
But a treacherous detour lured Lan to an unknown world, a planet of evil enchantment and lost souls, where the final lesson of magic lay silenced in the tomb of a hero.
Will Lan break the spell and stop Claybore? Or will an ancient curse close the road behind him… forever?
