“This author has the fantasy fiction genre nailed. His use of anti-hero protagonists and coming of age challenges is outstanding. Excellent character development and plotting move a fast-paced adventure tale through enough action to please readers of all ages.” - Book Reviewer
From #1 best-selling epic fantasy author, Julius St. Clair, comes the trilogy that started it all: THE LAST OF THE SAGES: THE COMPLETE FIVE KINGDOMS TRILOGY (BOOKS 1-3).
In the kingdom of Allay, Sages are born.
Powerful warriors with supernatural abilities that would rival the strength of whole armies. And there is an academy that trains such warriors, forging them out of young, ordinary students and casting them to the cold unknown. Few survive, but if there is any hope for this now desolate kingdom, the tests must be given to all that enter its walls.
One such student is James, a self-proclaimed slacker that has just been forced into the academy by his father. And if he plans to see another day, he will have to weather through four lessons in life: determination, maturity, trust, and love...
The Five Kingdoms Trilogy contains the three novels: The Last of the Sages, The Dark Kingdom, and Hail to the Queen in their entirety.
Praise for The Sage Saga:
"A warning, it is a trap. Once you start you can't put it down. I had to read it start to finish an immediately get the rest of the series." - Amazon Reviewer
"It was a great read from start to finish. It was so captivating that I had trouble putting the book down." - Book Reviewer
"I couldn't put it down. Lots of adventure and heartbreak. I loved the depth that the author takes you too in falling in love with the main characters." - Amazon Reviewer on The Dark Kingdom (Book 2 of the Sage Saga)
"A fantastic read hard to pick which way it was going some times." - Book Reviewer on Hail to the Queen (Book 3 of the Sage Saga)

It coulda been worse.
That’s the “working epitaph” of 15-year-old Moon Landing. Not that Moon’s death is imminent—far from it—but his thoughts have turned to gallows humor, as his world disintegrates along with his parents’ marriage. His older brother skateboards through life with ease, but Moon is deeply troubled.
Just as he is solving for romantic unknowns with a gorgeous older girl, Moon must contend with his dad’s sudden absence, his mom-gone-wild’s sexcapades, and his best friends’ curious penchant for self-destruction. Not to mention his newfound role in agitating to end an African guerrilla’s bloody rampage.
To make sense of it all, Moon embarks on a quest to unravel the riddle of God’s injustice to man.
In this humorous and touching coming-of-age novel, Moon struggles to understand his parents—who they are, what brought them together, what broke them apart—and what that all means for his future.
Ashley is a museum tour guide who is excited because she’s recently started seeing a young, attractive Emergency Room doctor. Unfortunately, it’s because her date, Shad, keeps having bizarre accidents that end up needing medical attention.
Her best friend, Samantha, runs a new age shop that offers traditional services such as psychic readings and tarot cards, as well as more secretive “aggressively karmic” acceleration opportunities. A true friend, she keeps trying to set up Ashley with as many prospective dates as possible, sending gentleman clients Ashley’s way under the pretense of “destiny”. Shad takes this prophesy too much to heart, and refuses to give up on Ashley even while destiny itself keeps telling him otherwise.
This book is a nod to all those who hear about dating disasters and go, “oh, so it’s about my love life?”; a commiseration with all the romance warriors who know that love takes a lot of work, a sense of humor and an aspirin or twelve.
Marysville, California in 1948 has most anything you want: booze, dames, gambling. But as private eye Gene Harlow and his new pal, Police Lieutenant Pinkton Finkelstein soon learn there is a lot more to the story such as: a serial killer on the loose, a lady who is sure that her husband is about to kill her and even a suspected soviet spy. They are all on a collision course and in the end who will live and who will die?
When Rome transgresses upon his father's domain that lays between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, Pacorus, a prince of the Parthian Empire, is sent to exact revenge. After a string of victories Pacorus and his men are captured in Cappadocia, clapped in chains and sent to Italy to live out the rest of their days as slaves. But fate intervenes and Pacorus and his companions are saved from a living hell by a renegade gladiator named Spartacus. In gratitude, Pacorus agrees to help Spartacus build his army as Rome musters its legions to crush the slave uprising. And so begins an epic adventure of glory and savagery played out across the length and breadth of Italy, as Spartacus defeats the armies of Rome and Pacorus leads his horsemen to victory after victory. But will Pacorous and the slave army escape from Italy, and will he win the love of the fierce and proud Gallia before the most powerful man in Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, takes the field against Spartacus?
A map of the Parthian Empire at the time of Pacorus (the 1st Century BC) can be found on the maps page of my website: www.peterdarman.com
"Darman has researched this novel extremely well, as one would expect with his military non-fiction background. This detail is meshed with great story telling which flows along with great gusto. Less for the fact that this book is about a Parthian rather than a Roman, I would describe it as a ‘Roman Sharpe’. Darman’s style is similar to and as good as Bernard Cornwell’s, one of my favourite authors."
British Army Rumour Service review, June 2011
Knowing the future doesn’t mean you’re meant to change it…
His senior year in high school couldn’t be more boring for overachieving science nerd Taylor Young, but things quickly change the moment he falls hard for Brad, the strange but hot new character that walks the school halls.
Taylor doesn’t care much about the rumors running rampant among his friends. So what if they call Brad a loon? In this day and age, everyone is a little crazy. Looking past Brad's underlying secrets, buried deep among the cold case files, Taylor only sees what he wants to see: a fellow man of science, a potential business partner... and soul mate.
The yearbook superlatives would have never guessed that years later, Taylor and Brad would be raking in billions with their prized invention, the Jump Box, a piece of teleporting technology that is going to change the world forever.
But when a catastrophic accident threatens not only their own future but the fate of the entire planet, Taylor is pushed to the brink of his sanity, and with their love and livelihood at stake, it takes a blast from the past to uncover the hidden truths that Brad had so carefully buried and worked so hard to forget.

What good is a witch with no magic?
Lexi Balefire is the latest in a long line of witches
Wicked witches, no less. To make up for her wicked heritage, she makes matches.
For everyone except herself.
The kind of matches that last forever.
True Love is her gift, so how could Lexi possibly be wicked?
Not that it matters anyway, if Lexi doesn’t find her magic before midnight on her next birthday, she will never be a true witch.
Wicked or otherwise.
Mackintosh Kent, Kin to his friends, wants to break Lexi’s dating dry spell. Too bad he has a gaggle of female groupies hanging off every note he sings. It’s almost as if he draws women to him by magical means.
Lexi refuses to be one of the crowd.
Besides, she lives with three faerie godmothers who don’t always get along. Who wants to take a man home to that?
With the Beltane celebration—and her magical deadline—looming, Lexi is running out of time to take command of her magic heritage and figure out what’s behind Kin’s spell before it’s too late.
The Fate Weaver series featuring the enchanting Lexi Balefire, matchmaking witch, has elements of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. Take a walk on the lighter side of urban fantasy—all the fun, but less of it between the sheets.
Mild language.
" Every so often, love and hate collide."
The saga continues involving the primary members of the Davenport family, daughter, Emma, now 16, Mother Clara, 33 and Grammy Helen, 53. The international pursuit of Clara by the "Greek-Adonis" looking FBI Special Agent Marco Damon continues. The Warriors for the Squad; Jason, Joey, Susie, Ralph and Emma remain tightly knitted as friends. Ralph and Emma's sweet relationship and romance heats up and they face challenges together rather than apart.
A deep-seated secret destroys Helen's world as she knows it. A Grand Jury indictes Clara on various charges leading to the courtroom drama of the century. Nobody is prepared for the mayhem and aftermath that ensues, not even the presiding judge himself.
How did all the key players/characters end up in New York City? This jaw dropping, suspensful crime thriller will have you amazed and saying, "I didn't see that coming!"
Clara Beware is a chilling, fast-paced, page turner as much as Emma Beware, Book One. This mystery will have you wondering, "What does the letter 'A' have to do with this ongoing saga?"
