About the author

H.M. Clarke

44 books56 followers
In a former life, H M Clarke has been a Console Operator, an ICT Project Manager, Public Servant, Paper Shuffler and an Accountant (the last being the most exciting.)

She attended Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia, where she studied for a Bachelor of Science (Chem), and also picked up a Diploma in Project Management while working for the South Australian Department of Justice.

In her spare time, she likes to lay on the couch and watch TV, garden, draw, read, and tell ALL her family what wonderful human beings they are.

She keeps threatening to go out and get a real job (Cheesecake Test Taster sounds good) and intends to retire somewhere warm and dry - like the middle of the Simpson Desert. For the time being however, she lives in Ohio and dreams about being warm...

She is also a bit of a video game nerd and, is into Star Trek, Midsomer Murders and Harry Potter, and she absolutely adores the TV show Almost Human

The books in this series get better and better! I definitely didn't see this newly formed family happening and I am loving all the lore that goes with it.

I do wish we got a glimpse of what is going on with Garrick, Asnar, and the others, but I imagine the next book will give some insight.

A new family, a new Legacy, I wonder where that puts us when we come full circle? This book was explosive; The hatred of fighting enemies, emotional devastation and the richness of family ties. I can't wait to read the next book!!

good story but needs a proofreader!

I’m reading the series because I find the characters and story compelling, but the lack of proofreading is hugely distracting. The author changes tense constantly, sometimes in the same sentence.

Things are getting intense when the Dymarki are being hunted and killed. Dearen is started to find out more about herself and the things she can do. At the grounds of the Coouncilmeet she is now Cearc and she has to make a decision between the clans to see how to proceed with the bareskins. Another great book in the continuing series.
