For over a year Brezlin has waited for the mysterious Veil to fall and release the Sumaset. This unsuspecting clan had been trapped within the confines of a portal-type Veil forged by the powerful dragon known as Amerrest and transported for hundred years into the future. Though this was their best hope for survival, Ammerest could not stop the inevitable. Armed with the knowledge of a civil war that has yet to happen, Brezlin, a young inexperienced leader, and his small clan of Ol'Sakay warriors are tasked with the training of these new Borrion~I to fight.

V.L. Howard
Meet The Author
An author with a passion for storytelling, years of dedication, and a strong connection to her craft. Though she never followed the traditional path to becoming a writer, she has built a world of rich characters and intricate plots that have captivated her readers. A non-graduate of high school, her early struggles with English and spelling were quickly overcome with the help of modern tools like spell check and Grammarly, alongside the unwavering support of her friend, Shari Childress, who has become an invaluable asset both as a critique partner and a source of endless laughter at her writing missteps.
The journey to creating The Curse began thirty-six years ago, sparked by the inspiration of a friend's story about wolves. With a determination to follow her passion, she began writing and rewriting, watching her characters and world come to life. Despite the early struggles and moments of doubt, she persevered, and the story grew into a seven-book series that continues to evolve.
A firm believer in God, she recognizes the profound inspiration she has received throughout her writing journey. While her books may not be labeled as "Christian" in the traditional sense, her faith remains woven throughout the series, guiding her work in ways both seen and unseen.
Having lived with her stories for so long, she knows each character, setting, and plot point inside and out—her imaginary friends, as she calls them. No question is too small, no detail too insignificant. Despite feeling vastly underqualified to write such complex, emotional, and often humorous stories, she proudly stands behind the work she has created.


When faced with the primal act of survival, how far would you go to stay alive?
Compound this by a thousand, the number of your people in your care. With only you with your dwindling warriors here to Protect them from a manic group of black dragons attacking. This is the exact predicament Khellin finds himself in. As chieftain of the Ol'sackay, Khellin's main priority is the health and safety of his clan, but right now both are being threatened. Astride his Winddoger, Khellin watches helplessly while hundreds of his warriors lay dying all around him in this bitter fight for their lives. Desperate, Khellin turns to the only being left that can possibly help his people, Aslean.


A lifetime has passed since Breslin and his people were forced through the portals set by Aslean in the great Exodus from Versa. Now given the chance to be that much closer to home than when and where they are now, Breslin's remnant of the Ol'sackay clan has accepted the offer made by the great dragon, Amerrest. They eagerly pass through another portal, appearing four hundred years into the future, setting foot on a new, yet familiar land. Struggling to survive, the small band eventually discovers a mysterious, shimmering veil.


Recovering An'nay from the hands of the Palorians wasn't enough. Ghennit's offer of protection for the Halflings, by the way of Khanahar, wasn't enough either. Most galling was Brezlin's lackluster response to this new enemy's attack. A real leader would never have stepped back, trusting someone else would protect and save them. All the hell he'd just been through was for what? Whashota's mind screamed with fury. His heart ached with pain. His body burned with the need to take action. Retribution would be swift and exact. On the other side of the border, Tormen discovers that he, too, must face the overwhelming reach of Palorian influence, which threatens to consume them in a civil war. After finally being privy to new information, he learns of the many schemes the Palorians have enacted to take over everything his father, Tut'Rik, had worked so hard to acquire. Knowing this enemy must be stopped, Tormen questions what it will cost him to do so. It will take more than one individual to put an end to the Palorian threat. But who will make the first move?
