Raised as a mercenary warrior by the Rayluvian, the pirate captain sails the stars, searching for glory and wealth as shadows and mysteries surround her. From the never-ending threat of the Devourers - moon-sized monstrosities with the power to shatter worlds - to the whispers of a genocidal virus, Kazsian must face the perils of a growing conflict about which she knows nothing.

Sail the Stars with Kazsian Corlain
CHILD OF HAZE
Kazsian Corlain - ebook $2.99 / Paperback $11.99
Kaz lies on the ground, other children standing over her, looks of victorious glee on their faces. They pin her down. They reach out. They hurt her simply because they can.
All her life, Kaz has dreamed of leaving Ransome's Quarry and finding freedom among the stars. She studies for hours, hoping to pass the tests. But when the time comes, what she must pass is nothing like the tests she prepared for.
Too young to understand the cost, too blind to see the future, she alone accepts the terrible reality of the Tradition of Proving. She alone can pass the tests.
But can she survive everything coming as she realizes that the children at home were nothing compared to the hate of the Children of Haze?
THE BURNING TIDES
Kazsian Corlain - ebook $2.99 / Paperback $11.99
Before she was Kazsian Corlain, Captain of Banshee-0195, she was Kaz of Haze.
​
But when the Bulundayr Empire arrests her, Kaz must fight to survive in a prison built for torture and pain. Abandoned and alone, every cycle is a struggle for life until she finds an unlikely ally.
​
Together, can they escape the grasp of the Empire, or will they be lost forever to the scourging rivers of the Burning Tides?
THE VALINDII OF GORM
Kazsian Corlain - ebook $2.99 / Paperback $12.99
For thirty-three cycles, Kazsian has been free. She’s flown across systems, dodged the UNED, and evaded the grasp of the Bulundayr Empire. But the one thing she cannot escape is her past.
That…and a bunch of scada pirates.
Forced to choose between death and servitude, Kazsian forgoes her freedom for a chance to live. But freedom does not end her isolation. Hated, derided, and ignored, Kazsian makes her way to Gorm on an Abernieth pirate vessel to pose as a humanitarian worker among Valindii refugees, all the while looking for an opportunity to escape.
But when a deadly virus is discovered on the shores of the biological preserve, she will be forced to choose once more. Without friend, ally, or crew, Kazsian must decide: save herself? Or save the Valindii of Gorm?
CORLAIN
Kazsian Corlain - ebook $2.99 / Paperback $11.99
It was supposed to be a simple job. Four days and the biggest score of crew of Banshee-0195 had ever seen. So where did it all go wrong?
Deep in the icy halls of Benthal-5, the pirate Kazsian leads a covert mission to steal an ancient relic from the pilgrimage of the First Children. But ice moves and shadows creep, and Kazsian realizes that there are more than just zealotries working to thwart her.
Kazsian must decide who she can trust and who she must betray if she is going to steal the Ventoon Vault and the riches stored within. But with her four-day window drawing to a close, and enemies hiding behind every corner, will she have the resolve to see the job through? Or will she fail the crew and her Captain?
WARPRIEST
Kazsian Corlain - ebook $2.99 / Paperback $12.99
You can take the fastest ships and fly halfway across the universe, through thousands of systems, passing millions of stars, seeing all that the Devourers have not yet touched…but, eventually, your past will find you.
​
You do not escape the Burning Tides without drawing the eye of the Bulundayr Empire and the Warpriest who leads their armadas. The Empire’s reach extends further than the Devourers fly, further than the Valindii have explored, further than the UNED seek to hide. You can always try to run but, in the end, they will find you.
​
You can try to protect those you love, but the Warpriest will find a way to use them to break your will, to protect his people, to keep his secrets in the dark. He will push and bend and threaten to destroy them, to torture them, to keep them captive until he gets exactly what he wants.
​
And you will obey.
​
Fifteen years later, Kazsian Corlain has a debt to pay, and the Empire of Stone has come to collect.

She is anything but.
It is time that someone teaches her what I know. The age of the pirate warlord is ended. The time of her reckoning has come. Her reign will be brought to its knees and then its head will fall to the ground. And she will know that it was I who held the sword these many rotations. I, who orchestrated her grand demise.
I am not an arrogant man.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jordan Kohl has always loved to create worlds. Whether it was bedtime stories told by his dad or writing and illustrating books in his third grade classroom, there was always something special about uncovering the secrets of new stories and sharing them with others.
​
His first books were written across seven spiral-bound notebooks which, today, are tattered and old. These would be the precursors to The Warborn, as the unread story within acted as a sequel series to what would become his first published books. Perhaps, one day, The Knights of Dal will see a revision, but for now, new worlds call his attention.
​
He lives with his wife and cats in Utah and spends his days in the Recruiting field. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors in Family Studies, but his true passion has always been writing.
