The Earthrin Stones

The gods of Dhea Loral once signed a peaceful Covenant to end the wars they raged on mortal soil. Now that the realm has recovered, several endeavor to inflame old grudges. This time, they are limited to using mortal followers to carry out their plots.

Four years of study have honed Trestan’s mind, heart and sword arm. With Cat at his side, he embarks on a holy quest to finish his training as a paladin. What he doesn’t realize is that the quest will begin amidst the devastation of his home village.

The wizard Revwar and the dark cleric Savannah have returned with new allies. The relics that were once recovered will again be the subject of a renewed struggle. A pursuit will encompass two continents; including a chase in city streets, a deadly struggle above the clouds, and encounters deep within an unmapped wilderness where humans dare not tread.

The key to unlocking the mysterious history of the Earthrin Stones is found... buried in a dark page of Cat’s past.

Douglas was born on Nov 28th, 1971. He got the chance to live in many different places while growing up, courtesy of the assignments the US Army offered to his father. Too quiet and too shy for too long, there were always dreams of other worlds and places…and the desire to write about them. He got into fantasy role-playing games in his mid-teens. To this day he has friends whom he meets in tabletop role-playing games, as well as online adventures. Many of his characters evolved in games, and each developed their own personality. Having to rely on self-publishing for his first novel, Douglas was surprised at the amount of good reviews and publicity it has received. Trials of Faith continues the story set into motion in Inheritance of a Sword and a Path.

Douglas lives with his wife and one dog in Minnesota. He works in health care, serving people’s needs at an outpatient clinic. When most people see him, he is wearing scrubs and a white lab coat.
