Overview: John Donlan was raised in Baysville, a hamlet of 200 people in Ontario’s Muskoka district on the Canadian Shield. His father worked with teams of horses hauling logs in the bush; neighbours raised skunks, crows, and porcupines as domestic pets (a neighbour’s crow, named for his father, stole clothespins from the wash to tease his mother).
Surrounded by some of Canada’s most beautiful wilderness (celebrated in the paintings of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven), the poet developed a deep sense of belonging in the natural world.

#1 – The Winds of Strife
Three nations stand on the brink of war.
For many, war is inevitable, but in the northern Kingdom of Losarn, the king and his ally, the Duke of Southmarsh, arrange in secret to meet with emissaries from the powerful Tho’reen Empire. When those same emissaries are slaughtered by unknown agents, the threat of war looms even closer. Darius Crow, son of the Duke of Southmarsh, vows to discover the truth behind the massacre, while his father travels to the heart of the kingdom to face the king in disgrace.
In Tho’reen, a powerful Jagir, Shuvani Maraat manoeuvres herself into a position in line with the throne. All that remains for her to seize power is a war with the Losarn. But when she discovers that the empress is seeking peace in secret, she is forced to take drastic measures to ensure that her plan is not put in jeopardy. With her sister watching her every move, and a mysterious priestess guiding her towards conflict, Shuvani soon learns just how high the stakes are.
In the small mountain realm of Arrenissia, Queen Lysena seeks the counsel of a mountain witch to determine the fate that awaits her people. Trapped between the two great kingdoms, she knows that war would mean the end of her kingdom. When a strange and powerful entity devours the witch, Lysena discovers that other agents are at play, and that more than just Arrenissia is at stake; the entire world may be in peril.
As the pieces move into position, powers great and small prepare for the Winds of Strife, and for the terrible war to come.
#2 – The Storm Rising
The war has begun. The storm has broken.
In the far south, Shuvani Maraat, heir to the throne of the Tho’reen Empire, marshals her forces and marches to war against the Losarn. At her back are ten thousand men, a great beast long thought extinct, as well as the aid of her Goddess. But for Shuvani, the road to conquest may be far more perilous than she had imagined, for there are forces at work beyond her wildest imaginings.
Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Losarn, a far more terrible war has begun. Darius Crow, the new Duke of Southmarsh, has ridden to face his own brother on the field of battle. The battle will be a bitter one, but Darius knows that he must be victorious if his lands and his people are to remain safe. While he fights in the north, his sister, Torelle, discovers a secret about the true enemy that may change the fate of the kingdom forever, and the woman he loves, the mute ex-slave Needra, treks into Tho’reen with her captor, the assassin Armensha.
Queen Lysena of Arrenissia prepares for her own war against the new king of Losarn. it is a war she knows she cannot win. But when help arrives from an unlikely source, she begins to have hope that victory may yet be within her grasp.
As battle is joined on all fronts, the darkness gathers. War shatters the land, and in the realms beyond the veil, Gods both dark and light prepare for the ultimate conflict. The one that will decide the future of the entire world.
