For a millenium, the Children of Amarid have served the people of Tobyn-Ser. Drawing upon the Mage-Craft, which flows from the psychic bond they forge with their avian familiars, the Mages of the Order have fulfilled their oaths by healing the injured and ill, repelling invasions by the land’s enemies, and caring for the people in times of crisis. They are governed by laws handed down by Amarid, the first of their kind, who committed the Mage-Craft to the people’s protection.

Seven years have passed since Orris, a mage of Tobyn-Ser’s Order, returned from the violent chaos of Bragor-Nal. The threat of attack from Lon-Ser has been eliminated, but the establishment of trade between Tobyn-Ser and its western neighbor has brought new and disturbing changes to the land. Large tracts of woodland have been logged and sold off in exchange for more of Lon-Ser’s "advanced goods." The Order and the League continue their struggle for supremacy, and a new force, a "People’s Movement," has allied itself with so-called independent mages who claim no ties to either body.

For 900 years, since the Qirsi War, the Forelands have enjoyed relative peace. The Qirsi leaders, Weavers whose powerful magic could bend to their will not only the elements but also the thoughts of others, were all killed. The rest of the pale-skinned Qirsi were scattered throughout the realm. They were no longer a threat without their multi-talented leaders. But though most Qirsi live normal lives, and some even serve lords as advisors, all is not well in the realm. There is a Weaver in the Forelands again, secretly sowing seeds of rebellion against the physically hardier but unmagical Eandi.

The realms of the Forelands are in turmoil as a result of the machinations of a powerful conspiracy of sorcerers, members of a race called the Qirsi, pale-skinned folk feared by those in power. Though many refuse to acknowledge the possibility of a conspiracy, a handful of Qirsi and nobles realize that the time has come to take action, even at the cost of their loves, their honor, and even their lives. But the rebels don't know of each other's actions, and the tenuous threads holding the realms together are starting to unravel.

(In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders ...)
In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world power. And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people. Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard's army. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest. Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life.

David B. Coe was born on March 12, 1963, in New York, United States to the family of a stockbroker and a school teacher. David has three older siblings. From the very childhood, their parents instilled in them a deep love for books and, thus, all the four developed a relationship with the written word, perhaps even without realizing it.
David Coe received his undergraduate degree at Brown University. That was followed by a Master's degree at Stanford University where he also earned a Doctor of Philosophy in 1993.
David had served as a political consultant and had tried an academic career for several years until he began writing full time in 1994. The first work was released in 1997. And now David B. Coe is the award-winning author of more than 20 novels and as many short stories.
As D.B. Jackson he writes The Islevale Cycle, a time travel/epic fantasy series from Angry Robot Books and Falstaff Books. The first book, Time’s Children, received a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly and was named the Best Fantasy Novel of 2018 by Reviews and Robots. The second novel, Time’s Demon, has been called "about as perfect a second book in a series as a reader could hope to have" by SffWorld. And the third and final book, Time’s Assassin, has recently been released by Falstaff Books.
Under the D.B. Jackson pen name, he is also the author of the Thieftaker Chronicles, a series set in pre-Revolutionary Boston that combines elements of urban fantasy, mystery, and historical fiction. Thieftaker, Thieves’ Quarry, A Plunder of Souls, and, Dead Man’s Reach have been released, and are available in hardcover, ebook, audiobook, and, in the cases of the first three volumes, paperback. David has also recently released Tales of the Thieftaker, a Thieftaker short story collection.
As David B. Coe, he has most recently published Knightfall: The Infinite Deep, a tie-in with the History Channel’s Knightfall series.
Before what, he wrote a contemporary urban fantasy called the Case Files of Justis Fearsson, which was published by Baen Books. All three books, Spell Blind, His Father’s Eyes, and Shadow’s Blade, are out and available in a variety of formats.
David’s early books include the LonTobyn Chronicle, a trilogy that received the Crawford Fantasy Award as the best work by a new author in fantasy, as well as the critically acclaimed Winds of the Forelands quintet and Blood of the Southlands trilogy. He has also written the novelization of director Ridley Scott’s movie, Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe.
David B. Coe became the winner of the William L. Crawford Award for best first fantasy series, awarded at the International Conference on the Fantastic for Children of Amarid and The Outlanders, the first two novels of the LonTobyn Chronicles.
David's books have been translated into more than a dozen languages.

1997David B. Coe believes that his historical background gives him a better understanding of human social, economic, political, and cultural development that has been invaluable while creating new worlds for his books.
Quotations: A piece of advice for young writers: "Carve out some time from your schedule so that you can write a bit each day, preferably at the same time every day, so that it becomes as much part of your routine as brushing your teeth. And read, in genre and out, so that you begin to recognize what things work for you as a reader and what things don’t. That knowledge will be invaluable as you write."
Coe is one of the founding members of the blog, MagicalWords.net.
David B. Coe has a quick and ready wit and is a splendid raconteur.
David Coe is married to Nancy J. Berner, a professor of biology. They have two children, Alex and Erin.
