Overview: Ken Warner grew up reading science fiction and fantasy; his early favorites were The Chronicles of Narnia, Dune, and of course, Lord of the Rings. When he began his martial arts training in high school, he heard many myths and legends about masters who possessed mysterious powers, typically attributed to their internal chi energy. He often thought these legends would make a great story. This ultimately led to his first books, The Katana Series.

Ken continues to focus on science fiction and fantasy in his writing. He went full time with his author career late in 2020. Ken lives in Connecticut with his wife, Parveen, and their many dogs and cats.

Book One:
Necromancy has been forbidden in the Five Kingdoms for centuries, its secrets erased from existence... until now. High Prince Henry’s dark mage, Dredmort, has discovered a mythical artifact that will provide him with the power to unleash an ancient evil not seen in Anoria for centuries.

Khaldun lost his parents to the plague when he was only a child. The wayfarer sorcerer, Nomad, has raised him and trained him to be a wizard like his father. Living in the shadow of his father's legacy, Khaldun longs to prove himself. When soldiers pursue a rogue messenger through the wayfarer camp, he finds himself drawn into a conflict that could forever alter the future of the continent. The high prince is now poised to plunge Anoria into darkness and despair; can Khaldun stop him before it's too late?

Book Two:
A millennium ago, the world’s most powerful necromancer slaughtered the Five Kings, enslaved the masses, and plunged all the land into darkness and despair. After three hundred years, the princedoms rose up against her and cast her out. Over the centuries, the memory of these events faded, until they were finally forgotten.

But now the darkness stirs again…

A rogue demon is terrorizing Jezebel's cousin, Princess Allison of Spanbrook. Jezebel sets out to find the one mage in all the land with the power to banish the specter. She doesn’t know the way, but the wayfarer boy, Khaldun, agrees to serve as her guide. On their journey, they discover long-forgotten secrets, revealing that Allison’s demon is but a lesser servant of a vastly greater evil. Now, the fate of an entire continent hangs in the balance. Can Jezebel and Khaldun overcome the forces arrayed against them before it’s too late?

Book Three:
Upon assuming his new role as Spanbrook's chief mage, Khaldun discovers an ancient artifact that Nyro, the great necromancer herself, left behind. The object is still linked to her, and through it, she communicates with Khaldun, enticing him to liberate her. Syllith soon learns that Nyro is behind Fosland's renewed military aggression, and that there's a traitor at the university. Before long, all of northern Maeda is dragged into war, but is it only a diversion, providing the ancient evil an opportunity to escape?

Book Four:
Fifteen years have passed since Nyro's liberation, and neither the great necromancer nor Syllith, the mage she possessed, has been seen anywhere in Anoria. But when elves are spotted in several princedoms, Mira begins to worry it could be a prelude to an invasion. When armies land in Rockport and Blacksand, Princess Jezebel sends Khaldun and Mira to assist in the princedoms' defense, but before long, the conflict overruns the entire continent. Will Mira's newfound abilities be enough to turn the tide?

Book Five:
War has ravaged Anoria, driving Princess Allison and her family from their home in Spanbrook. They dealt their enemy an unexpected blow in the Battle of Stoutwall, and now both sides are regrouping. Allison finally takes the steps necessary to augment her magic to levels not seen in Anoria in centuries--but will it be enough to win the war and save Anoria from annihilation?
