In A JOUST OF KNIGHTS, Thorgrin and his brothers follow Guwayne’s trail at sea, pursuing him to the Isle of Light. But as they reach the ravaged isle and the dying Ragon, all may be just too late. Darius finds himself brought to the Empire capital, and to the greatest arena of them all. He is trained by a mysterious man who is determined to forge him into a warrior, and to help him survive the impossible. But the capital arena is unlike anything Darius has seen, and its formidable foes may be too intense for even he to conquer. Gwendolyn is pulled into the heart of the family dynamics of the royal court of the Ridge, as the King and Queen beg her for a favor. On a quest to unearth secrets that can change the very future of the Ridge and save Thorgrin and Guwayne, Gwen is shocked by what she discovers as she digs too deep. Erec and Alistair’s bonds deepen as they sail further upriver, into the heart of the Empire, determined to find Volusia and save Gwendolyn – while Godfrey and his crew wreak havoc within Volusia, determined to avenge their friends. And Volusia herself learns what it means to rule the Empire, as she finds her precarious capital embattled from all sides. With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, A JOUST OF KNIGHTS is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

14-aastase Susani elu on parast onu surma taielikult pea peale keeratud. Tema isa on venna kaotuse tottu sugavas depressioonis ning otsib oma leinas lohutust alkoholist. Uks onnetus jargneb teisele. Isa kaotab too ning pere jaab oma kodust ilma, isa ja ema vahelised suhted ei ole enam endised. Susani ja tema noorema venna Rasmuse jaoks muutub olukord taiesti valjakannatamatuks. Uha sagedamini keerleb tudruku peas mote: kui ma ometi suudaks valja selgitada, mis tapselt juhtus ja kes on onu surmas suudi… Ehk aitaks see isal juhtunuga leppida ja mustast august valja rabeleda?Miks pidi keegi Tarmo tapma?! See kusimus keerles meil koigil peas terve aasta ning kogu lugu havitas meie peret jarjepideva visadusega. Paps hakkas varsti parast neid jubedaid uudiseid jooma ning mida aeg edasi ja mida rohkem ta politseilt kuulis, et tulistajat pole ikka katte saadud, seda hullemaid tuure tema joomingud votsid. Olgu oeldud, et paps pole kunagi karsklane olnud, aga mitte iial pole ta joonud sel kombel nagu nuud. Nahes teda hilisohtuti uksest sisse tuikumas, motlesin tihtipeale, et talle ei lahe enam mitte miski korda. Ka meie mitte.„Halloween” palvis Eesti Lastekirjanduse Keskuse ja kirjastuse Tanapaev korraldatud 2014. aasta noorsooromaanide voistlusel III koha.
