THE UNTOLD TALE

Book One of The Accidental Turn Series
(Reuts Publications, Dec 2015; Here There Be 2024)

THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY OUR OF PRINT; RERELEASE COMING EARLY 2024

Forsyth Turn is not a hero. Lordling of Turn Hall, yes. Spymaster for the king, certainly. But hero? That’s his older brother’s job, and Kintyre Turn is nothing if not legendary. However, when a raid on the kingdom’s worst criminal results in the rescue of a baffling woman, oddly named and even more oddly mannered, Forsyth finds his quaint, sedentary life turned on its head.

Dragged reluctantly into a quest he never expected, and fighting villains that even his brother has never managed to best, Forsyth is forced to confront his own self-shame and the demons that come with always being second-best. And, more than that, when he finally realizes where his companion came from and why she’s here, he’ll be forced to question not only his place in the world, but the very meaning of his own existence.

Smartly crafted, The Untold Tale gives agency to the overlooked, and asks what it really means to be a fan when the worlds you love don’t resemble the world you live in, celebrates the power of the written word, and shows us what happens when someone stands up and refuses to remain a secondary character in their own life.

THE FORGOTTEN TALE

Book Two of The Accidental Turn Series
(Reuts Publications, December 2016; Here There Be 2024)

THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY OUR OF PRINT; RERELEASE COMING EARLY 2024

Forsyth Turn has finally become a hero—however reluctantly. But now that Lucy Piper has married him and they’ve started a family in her world, his adventuring days are behind him. Yet not all is as it should be. Beloved novels are disappearing at an alarming rate, not just from the minds of readers like Pip, but from bookshelves as well. Almost as if they had never been. Almost like magic.

Forsyth fears that it is his fault—that Pip’s childhood tales are vanishing because he, a book character, has escaped his pages. But when he and Pip are sucked back into The Tales of Kintyre Turn against their will, they realize that something much more deadly and dire is happening. The stories are vanishing from Forsyth’s world too. So Forsyth sets out on a desperate journey across Hain to discover how, and why, the stories are disappearing… before their own world vanishes forever.

In this clever follow-up to The Untold Tale, The Forgotten Tale questions what it means to create a legacy, and what we owe to those who come after us.

THE SILENCED TALE

Book Three of The Accidental Turn Series
(Reuts Publications, December 2017; Here There Be 2024)

THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY OUR OF PRINT; RERELEASE COMING EARLY 2024

Forsyth Turn never wanted to be a hero. And yet, even in the Overrealm, a hero is what he’ll be.

After their last adventure in Hain, Forsyth expected to return to the life he’d built with Pip and Alis, his days of magic and heroics behind him. But then Pip starts suffering night terrors laced with images of glowing ivy and Elgar Reed calls with fears of bizarre threats and a man garbed all in black.

But there is no magic in the Overrealm. Forsyth refuses to believe that anything other than mundane coincidence is at work—until Elgar’s stalker leaves him a message too eerie and specific to ignore. Now, he has to face the possibility that Pip’s dreams and Elgar’s fears are connected . . . and that maybe they weren’t the only ones to escape the pages of The Tales of Kintyre Turn.

And if that’s the case, it’s going to take more than a handful of heroes to save the day this time. It’s going to take an army. Luckily, Reed fans are legion.

A stunning conclusion to the series, The Silenced Tale is a genre-bending whirlwind that breathes life into the idea that the power of story lies not just with the creator, but with the fans who love it.

(REUTS Publications, Spring 2018; Here There Be, 2024)

THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY OUR OF PRINT; RERELEASE COMING EARLY 2024

Forsyth Turn had no desire to be a hero, but that’s what he became. Bevel Dom spent his whole life telling stories, never realizing he was part of one of the most popular ones of all time. Kintyre Turn never thought he could be more than a wandering hero with a sword, until he reinvented himself as a compassionate Lord and kind father. And Lucy Piper never believed that magic, quests, or The Tales of Kintyre Turn ever really existed; but they do, and they shaped her life in ways she never could have foreseen.

This collection offers insight and behind-the-scenes commentary on the events that happened both on and off the page during the writing of the series, poetry and fan-composed songs, the full version of the prequel comic “Ivy”, the full text of the never-before in print short stories “Home” , “Happiness”, and “Health”,  the novellas “Arrivals” and “Ghosts”, a brand-new exclusive novella “Magic”, Elgar Reed’s script for the ConClusion short film “Origins”, and deleted scenes.

Come along as Frey invites readers to return to the world of Hain one last time, and discover The Accidental Turn that launched a series.
