The Scarlet Scrolls
The Chronicles of the Unsetting Sun
Book Two
Barrett should have died when the Bloodkin hunted him down—but a strange book bound with spirits granted him an impossible escape. Now the cursed volume haunts him with unanswered questions. When he abandons the safety of his companions to trace the book’s origins, Barrett is drawn into a collapsing world: a monastery overrun by demons, a town seized by rebels, and the spreading shadow of a war no one is prepared to face.
But Barrett is not the only one seeking the book. Vors Rennice, the fanatical Bloodkin killer who first lost Barrett to its magic, scours the realm to reclaim it. Dragging Vilka across ruined lands as his reluctant guide, Vors leaves a trail of bodies in his wake—each step tightening the noose around Barrett’s search for truth. Vilka, torn between survival and conscience, will ultimately make a choice that will shatter everything she and Barrett thought they knew.
Far from these hunts and rebellions, Mavrian Morr arrives in the Bloodkin capital as an honoured guest—and a potential sacrifice. Within the Overlord’s palace she uncovers the prophecy of the Unsetting Sun, a doom claiming the world will cease to turn, leaving only a thin strip of land habitable. Her soul, the Veerkasn whisper, may decide who survives that disaster… and who burns.
As Barrett grapples with a book that hungers for him, Mavrian becomes bound to an empire that sees her as both weapon and salvation. Their paths twist through rebels, tyrants, and revenants of forgotten magic—towards a reckoning that will decide whether knowledge can save a dying world, or doom it.
Tumbleweed Book’s Latest Release
Teenage Runaway
In 1967, fifteen-year-old Ronald Schulz packed HIS bag, left a note on his dresser, and walked away from everything he knew–Family, friends, home, and life as he knew it.
Teenage Runaway–a gripping true story of rebellion, survival, and the desperate search for identity during one of America’s most explosive decades. Faced with bullies, broken family dynamics, and a school system that crushes individuality, Schulz chose the open road over obedience–and found a world far more dangerous and transformative than imaginable.
Raw, honest, and unforgettable, this memoir captures the spirit of a lost generation–and the high cost of finding your own way.
Perfect for fans of coming-of-age memoirs, counterculture history, and stories of real-life escape.
