The Idalina, with Yarmian Eventyde aboard, sails for Garroon, where Captain Tiresian hopes to find his missing 'uncle', the former Port Lord, Chancellane.Chancellane's daughter, Damaris, now wears the diadem, yet rumours abound of a shadowy masked figure, Meleghanna of Maharra, a mystic healer said to have inveigled herself into Garroon's court and now rumoured to be lurking behind the throne, wielding untold influence over the Port Lord.Tiresian believes Meleghanna is a witch, perhaps holding Chancellane hostage to increase her hold over Damaris and Garroon, and he wants Yarmian to positively identify and then destroy the mysterious masked Maharran.The trouble is, Yarmian knows little to nothing about the lesser mystics, witches, warlocks, and sorcerers, and has no idea whether Meleghanna is in fact a witch, or a genuine mystic healer from Maharra. And with diplomatic relations between Garroon and Arpane at breaking point, and the threat of despotism and open war overshadowing life in what was once the happiest of places, he doesn't have much time to find out...Book 3 of Yarmian Eventyde GJ Kelly was born near the white cliffs of Dover, England, in 1960.

There's a witch in Wenneck!Yarmian Eventyde knows it, and he knows that finding and destroying the wretched creature is the right thing to do.Alas, poor Yarmian, nothing is ever as easy as first it seems. Worse, recent experiences in Garroon taught the young Wizzen that adept witches can alter their appearance, and he now knows that any woman he sees might be the witch he's hunting for.Young men are disappearing from the docks, victims of foul witchery perhaps, and Yarmian knows he'll need help if he's to liberate Wenneck from a threat that no-one else in the city is even aware of. It's a threat that poses the greatest danger Yarmian has faced... so far... GJ Kelly was born near the white cliffs of Dover, England, in 1960.

Book Five of the series finds Yarmian Eventyde in Brenneth, lovely in Albionus' day, and not looking too shoddy in Mister Yarren's either. The young WIzzen welcomes the prospect of wintering in his new and comfortable surrounds, but alas, the fleeting moments of pleasure his stepfather warned about have led Yarmian into making a terrible error... searching for the elusive third book in the Permanentus Permanentarium trilogy, and very publicly at that.His search has drawn him to the attention of a suspicious one-armed character, Iarnus of Brenneth, and this in turn leads Yarmian far from the comforts of a warm pub, a warm bed, and something warm in it...The Third Book seems to promise a journey from which there can be no return, and the first steps of that journey leads Yarmian from The Black Horse to a distant mountain range, and to a benighted town held in thrall to a mad warlord, Morrok-Han, and his ancient sorcerer, Gurnan...

Yarmian Eventyde arrives in the coastal city of Holbonne after a harrowing hundred-mile trek through a bitterly cold and snow-covered wilderness. His fury at The Black Rose has cooled, and now, all the young WIzzen wants is to remain anonymous, find a peaceful inn, and quietly await the arrival of spring before taking his leave of the place. It's a time to rest and recuperate, or so he believes...Alas, appearances can indeed be deceiving, and Holbonne certainly isn't the dull, grey and bland city it appears to be on the surface. The seemingly innocuous west coast city has a dark and grim history... and it's a history so well-guarded, it's not permitted to be taught in schools except to pupils over a certain age (and those are few and far between).Alarmed by a strange event which seems to suggest a sorcerer might be lurking behind the dull façade of Holbonne, and intrigued by the history he learns from one of the regulars at The Whistling Kettle, Yarmian's discreet investigations bring him to the attention of the city's authorities, and Yarmian finds he must turn to Holbonne's criminal underworld for help in bringing to light a terrible, shameful secret...Sometimes, there's a steep price to be paid for doing the right thing.

Muthia is, as Yarmian Eventyde discovers, something of a hole. Not quite as bad as Meneva, granted, but it's certainly not high on anyone's list of holiday destinations. Still, after a two-year absence from the wider world of Carpidia, the young Wizzen needs to find his feet among people again, so he adopts a new alias and a new identity as a jobbing Temparus in the very city his old friend Fennet of Wenneck once recommended.In this guise, Yarmian takes lodgings in the house of a retired old Permanentus Master, and fills his days patrolling the poor quarter of Muthia City, sniffing for Lesser mystics and getting back into the swing of doing the right thing here in the world of Gorms.But lunchtime in a very respectable and popular city restaurant sees Yarmian's hopes for a quiet sojourn in Muthia hanging by a thread. A chance encounter with a senior member of Muthia's Court is no accident at all, and a noisy demand for a pie and a pint by a local and well-known madman looks set to make the Wizzen's roast chicken sandwich his most fateful repast to date...

Yarmian Eventyde finds himself in Coldharbor, where he assumes the identity of Eyan Ventine, an agent for a west coast businessman. It's a role that permits him to wander freely around the surprisingly 'civilised' east coast city, asking questions, sniffing for Lessers, and continuing to do the right thing.There's a girl in Coldharbor, a beautiful, talented, artistic young woman, and to his own great shock, Yarmian finds himself falling head over heels with this stunning Coldharbor artisan.But there's trouble in paradise for the young Wizzen; a gangster's son has taken a shine to the young woman too, and after dealing with that very real threat to his lady-love's welfare, Yarmian discovers an ancient, strange and really rather worrying superstition woven into the fabric of Coldharbor life.Torn between love and duty, Yarmian finds himself travelling deep into Coldharbor's interior, seeking for the source of the material at the heart of Coldharbor's baffling, and maybe even sinister, superstition.It's a journey that takes him to Greenwater Lake... a place where, it is said, those who dare to go, never return...Book 9 in the series Yarmian Eventyde.

Yarmian Eventyde, emotionally numb and still in shock after losing the two loves and ten years of his life on Greenwater Island, receives a request for help from the man in Farakand, Ranquin Dutt. Leaving Coldharbor and his friend, Sumner, the only man who truly understands what happened to Yarmian, the Wizzen takes ship to Farakand.There, Yarmian learns from Dutt that a warlord is rising in the far eastern wilds of Jumtuk, and that four neighouring lands are living under the threat of possible attack by the Warlord of Tuksmount and his barbarian horde. Worse, Ranquin Dutt believes the warlord is in fact a Wizzen... a WarWizzen of old drawing an army of thugs, brutes, and criminals to his fort atop Tuksmount.The Isle of Sinnock, and its new Philostrate, Kurster, refuse to act on what they consider to be mere rumours, and will not involve themselves in what is, they say, a civil matter for the militaries of those four east coast nations to settle for themselves. No Wizzens will be sent, in spite of the fact that spies and an expeditionary force sent out to investigate Tuksmount have failed to return...Yarmian immediately agrees to Dutt's request that he venture out into the wilds to discover the truth about Tuksmount, and in company with the business mogul's two biggest and best bodyguards, he sets off on what should be a simple journey across seventy-five miles of uninhabited wilderness.Alas, poor Yarmian... it's neither.
