Of course, there's extra in the Special Editions: edits, clearer scenes, language more in keeping with the later books in the series …

Now available: The Final Four
Both alive and dead.
Gabryl, a man both alive and dead, his body reposing in a sarcophagus, his spirit roaming as a shifting being, bellows a call to arms. Eurue, as world and civilisation, after ages of isolation, will now step into the ultimate arena.
Meanwhile, as the spaces become frantic, a woman in a turret somewhere, elsewhere, plans her revenge. The schism between what went before, and the reality of the present presents to her the power to control the fate of all.
Who will stop her?
Tristan and Alusin of the Kaval hasten to answer the summons.
Who is the true enemy?
For love of a boy.
Grief-stricken over losing his wife in childbirth, Karydor commands that his son be drowned. The child vanishes without a trace.
Ages later, suffering cycles of rebirth, Karydor discovers the identity of the man his son becomes and, in need of atonement, sets out to ease his path through life, hoping for a future when he will be able to look him in the eye without guilt.
On Farochin, a world where the terraform is about to fail, Karydor, Kristyn, Echayn and Fletcher team up, hoping to save the world from the influences of FARA, the godhood responsible for the failure.
A god, however, is not easily
undermined.
A world is not effortlessly rescued.
A father will step into that arena,
though, because of the love he bears his son.
A two-faces clock.
The Dark Ages reigns on a world separated from Time, where men prefer war and women are lesser. Writing is outlawed and city gates close against the night.
King Androdin sends his son Cadmus north to meet with his northern rival, Drakan of Caladin, and with him is Aris Delmann, leader of the army. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they discover not only an enclave of women, but also powerful men from another world, among them Torrullin Valla and Elianas Danae.
Meanwhile, in the south, traitors have summoned an army from a distant land, and soon the first city falls to their might.
When the mages begin their own game
of manipulation, using the two-faces clock, Lykandir becomes explosive. It
needs but a spark and all hope will be lost.
We fight for our children.
Avaelyn is enshrouded.
By magic.
By time.
By manipulation.
Avior is veiled.
By myth.
By destruction.
By inverted sacred sites.
How to rip aside the shrouds?
When the shivers of premonition tell that the young are taken to keep Avaelyn enshrouded, the Vallas take the fight to the monsters responsible for such horror. All fight to save them from the monsters flourishing beneath the shrouds. From dragons to darklings, the field is strewn with horror.
They will not rest until every child
is safe.

Now available: Nemesis to Time!
His name is Elianas.
Torrullin’s sanctuary is invaded by a desperate call through the spaces. Someone has stolen the Xenian seer Lowen Dalrish.
Three Valla heirs await the rising of the Valleur Throne; only one will be chosen as Vallorin. When a prophecy is uncovered about Three Kingdoms and rumours of an army secretly building to prevent it, Torrullin realises the heirs are in danger.
The dark man of Torrullin’s visions and dreams stirs and becomes aware of the newness in the ether. He now seeks release from his long incarceration.
It is time for Torrullin’s Nemesis to
stand forth.
His name is Elianas.
A perilous threshold
The truth about the Valleur through the ages is uncovered when exploiters delve the green hills of Echolone for gold. After an ancient door is discovered in the bowels of the earth, it serves to unmask the hidden power Elianas carries within.
In a time when all seers’ visions and dreams cease, revelations are given to those who have never experienced them at the site of this mysterious door. It requires solving, but the answers will change the future, in reality and realms
It will also bring on the shadows.
In nowhere, everything is possible.
Tianoman is kidnapped by an enemy believed dead and taken to the place where a silver cathron knocker lurks in the darkness of a polished surface, where also a crucible swirls in vapour, creating within an entity that cannot be permitted life.
In Nowhere, everything that moves in hearts, minds and souls will become the answers Torrullin requires to again known himself.
It will also unmask the Danae.
A new Timekeeper steps forth.
Wearing a familiar face, an aspirant Timekeeper seeks to destroy all who stand in his path, including Torrullin Valla and Elianas Danae. With the master clock under his aegis, he will control Time and all who move within its confines.
The scramble commences to find the
Master Mechanism first. From planets abandoned to worlds renewed, from ancient
spaces to sterile realms, the chase is on.
Weaving through all the chaos is the
mighty Valla family, fractured and almost beyond repair. It is time to stand
together or fall forever. It is time to be noble, even when such nobility
requires sacrifice.

SLEEPER & MAZE now available!
The Sleeper is Awake
Two thousand years have passed since the epic explosion in what is now called the Black Valley. Torrullin is in the invisible realms and the Darak Or is with him, and the universe enjoys a time of unprecedented peace.
A new threat rises on the cursed horizon.
It is time for the Sleeper to awaken.
The old players gather for a renewal of the fateful games. This time the duel between a father and son will wound many, including Valla kin.
Their
contest will reverberate through the spaces.
A soul labyrinth
Warlock Tymall steps up his murderous campaign against the Vallas.
Torrullin vanishes into a realm created by dreams and need. He searches for the means to end his son’s reign of terror. He will face the power of stones raised when time began, the labyrinth of his soul.
Another arises, the Warlock’s secret ally, a creature nursing vengeance since ancient days, and a new army invades.
If Torrullin survives the dream realm, does it mean he is strong enough?
Torrullin prepares, after all, to meet
the dark man of his visions.
The time for meeting is now close.

We did go live before New Year but ...
… there was a problem with one of the covers, so I had to wait to share until it corrected on Amazon 😜
Here are the links etc for the next two in House of Valla's Special Edition:
A Forbidden place
A new enemy enters the Valla arena, but this one is as old as time and seeks a forbidden place. The terrible source of Valla power is uncovered. As friends and family are murdered, Torrullin reveals the truth about the Valla Dragon.
Another truth rears up, the tale of the Nine who fled into the Forbidden Zone with a strange taliesman in the shape of a dragon.
Dragons are the Glittering Darkness, and soon all will know them.
War erupts on a world no
more than a circle on an ancient map, an epic journey into the realms of time
and legend and forever alters the future.
Temple of Stars
The Forbidden Zone is behind them; the wars of attrition return to Valaris.
In a golden city waits a temple raised from a vision, and one night in every year a star shines through the aperture overhead. This is a connection to the world of Nemisin, the first homeworld.
In this place where stars meet Torrullin must choose life and death for his sons.
The scythe, however, forever silences someone dear to him; is he paying for his choice in the temple?
As the universe searches
for the Light in all its brilliance, seeking peace, Torrullin begins to see
himself as a prince among demons and therefore decides to change the rules.

Now LIVE: the first four!
The first four books in this House of Valla Special Edition are now live!
It will all burn.
Rayne of the Mantle, to confirm Infinity’s presence on Valaris, travels to Farinwood and finds changeling children, a secret Society of Sorcerers, the Maghdim Medaillon, a dangerous artefact that creates a thread of light between two realms.
In another universe, the Darak Or Margus watches for the perfect opportunity to annihilate the world Ardosia and its people.
Separating the two realms is a vast Chaos barrier, a roiling darkness Infinity and Margus will deploy as a weapon of ultimate manipulation.
Two worlds will burn.
Blue flame tells the tale.
We return to the Land of Skies. One battle is already behind the team, the disastrous events upon Ardosia; time now to concentrate on the stability of Valaris, or the same fate awaits her.
Rayne begins the internal battle that will change all. It began for him on Ardosia when he touched Vannis only to release blue sparks between them.
The ruling house is almost extinct. How, therefore, does a Valla recognise the blood for the future?
By the blue flame of trebac. Kinfire.
The Kinfire Tree has many branches hidden in its
foliage, a condition Rayne suspects, a greater truth he must reveal …
An Ancient Power
The battle for Valaris continues.
It is time to face Margus in his lair and throw down the gauntlet.
Arrayed against his might is Taranis of the Guardians, Vannis of the Valleur, and Torrullin, a man with a dual nature, who as often fights the darkness rising within as he fights to protect his world.
An extinct volcano erupts, and a monster surge races to the site of an epic confrontation before an ancient and powerful golden seat.
The Valleur Throne is about to assume ultimate status.
Will it save or conquer their world?
Flame and Fire
Valarians prepare for winter. Only the heat of hope sustains them now.
Margus secretly begins a different kind of campaign. He rebuilds his army with the souls of Valaris.
Torrullin steps blindly into Vannis’ final prophecy. It brings him a great gift; it also leads to terrible betrayal.
He enters the forges of flame in search of the means to put an end to Margus’ reign of terror.
DRAGON completes the forging of
Torrullin Valla.

A mighty tale! (Audio)
Travel from a Land
of Skies isolated in space to civilisations flourishing underground, from a
chaos curtain to sacred sites and more, in this epic Fantasy/Sci-Fi omnibus.
Lore of Arcana Omnibus
includes The Infinity Mantle, The Kinfire Tree, The Drowned Throne and The
Dragon Circle and delves from the deep and forgotten past into a
speculative future, knowing time cannot be truly measured. Time moves between
realms and reality in a fashion contradictory to our present, and exposes
creatures of myth and legend, and fabled figures thought lost to antiquity.
One man strides
through all, Maghdim Medaillon in one hand, sword in the other. He is the
Keeper of the Dragon, Lifegiver and Destroyer. This is Rayne’s journey, descendent
of a mighty bloodline, and this is a mighty tale.

His time is now (Audio)
.png.jpg)
There is a darkness coming …
Rayne of the Mantle, to confirm Infinity’s presence on Valaris, knowing the
witch will seek her revenge for the death of her son, travels to
Farinwood to find Aven. The old magician will know. There he discovers changeling
children, a secret Society of Sorcerers, the mysterious waif Averroes, as well
as the Maghdim Medaillon, a dangerous coin that creates a thread of light
between two realms.
In another universe, the
Darak Or Margus watches for the perfect opportunity to annihilate the world Ardosia
and its people. He desires to avenge an ancient terror and has been patient too
long. Separating the two realms is a vast Chaos barrier, a roiling darkness both
Infinity and Margus will deploy as a weapon of ultimate manipulation.
Two worlds will soon burn.
Taranis of the Dome Guardians,
summoned to witness what will happen to Valaris should Ardosia fall, is forced
to endure the terrible blockade. In the aftermath, the Guardians gather to
defend against the influx of this new evil, as is their sworn duty to the
universe.
Rayne, meanwhile, dreams of
a little girl from another land desperate for help, while on Ardosia a toddler rouses
from a nightmare, screaming, “It will all burn, daddy!”
Another awakens; a
legendary figure from the forgotten past, creator of the Maghdim Medaillon, the
true ruler of both Valaris and Ardosia. His time is now.
There is a darkness coming.

An epic adventure!
At the end of the Lore Series, Torrullin
Valla and Elianas Danae vanish into the mists with their homeworld Avaelyn, but
the story doesn’t end there. What happens to Tristan Skyler Valla, for example,
about to embark on a Timekeeper journey with Alusin Algheri? Where is Karydor
Danae, the reincarnate father Torrullin has yet to meet?
In EURUE: The Forgotten World, a
century later, we find out about Tristan and Alusin’s future as they pit their
talents against a man half-dead, half-alive lying in a hidden casket somewhere
on Eurue. Gabryl embarks on a campaign to rouse the realms to Eurue’s forgotten
status, using the strange spinning orbs known as daetal to further his
ambitions.
In FAROCHIN: The Terraformed World,
we meet Karydor as he wakes up to memory loss on Farochin ages before Torrullin
has ever stepped forward as the power he will become. Karydor and Echayn Valla,
his brother-in-law, soon find themselves racing to save Farochin from Felix of
the Murs, who seeks to undo the terraform in order to become a god. Karydor
seeks to atone before he meets his son.
In LYKANDIR: The Measured World, two
kings look up to see a world on approach. King Androdin in the south and King
Drakan in the north understand that it will lead to chaos, utter change. As
clansmen, watchmakers and wer-men scramble for solutions, the kings find
themselves face to face with the men from that world, led by Torrullin Valla
and Elianas Danae. It seems Lykandir and Avaelyn seek to occupy the same space
in the realm Avaelyn vanished into.
In AVAELYN: The Enshrouded World,
the timelines align once more. A thousand years have passed, and Avaelyn
returns to her designated place. However, many wish to keep Torrullin and
Elianas at bay, and thus is their world wrapped in a shroud that blinds all to
their presence. Meanwhile, the children of Reaume suffer to keep it that way,
and that is simply unacceptable.
In AVIOR: The Mythical World, the
true enemy is revealed, an Ancient Valla who seems hellbent on creating a seat
of tyrannical power. To the world Avior, which most regard as a myth, all
forces are summoned. The entire Valla family strides into battle, for
only the Vallas can stop this Valla. What they discover below the surface is
heart-breaking.
From the realms of time to the reality of lost
souls, through hope and cruelty, we reconnect with familiar characters, and
meet a host of new ones. An old sword with an agenda reappears, while a new
talisman is forged from desperation … and so much more. An epic adventure,
indeed!

All are called into battle
Following
on directly from
AVAELYN:
THE ENSHROUDED WORLD:
The
Vallas go to war with each other.
Avaelyn
returns to Reaume, no longer enshrouded … but soon another world draws
attention, for it is there that the great battle will be fought.
By
myth.
By
destruction.
By
inverted sacred sites.
No matter what, Torrullin will not stand aside, not until every child is safe.

How to rip aside the shroud?
Our
children are sacrosanct.
Avaelyn
the world returns to Reaume, that great collection of spaces tangible and
intangible, after a thousand-year absence, but no one knows the home of
Torrullin Valla and Elianas Danae again swerves in its designated place.
By
magic.
By
time.
By
manipulation.
How
to rip aside the shroud?
On
Akhavar, meanwhile, Enlyl Valla lifts from the mud in the badlands an ancient
artefact, a sword created to protect children. The plight of Reaume’s children
is dire, after all, and volunteers from many worlds gather to do something
about it.
