Book 1 - The Lost Heir
Strange new talents...

Jake is a scrappy orphaned pickpocket living by his wits on the streets of Victorian London. Lately he's started seeing ghosts and discovers he can move solid objects with his mind! He has no idea why. Next thing he knows, a Sinister Gentleman and his minions come hunting him. On the run for his life, Jake is plunged headlong into a mysterious world full of magic and deadly peril. A world that holds the secret to who he really is: the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family—with magical powers!

But with treacherous enemies closing in, it will take all of his wily street instincts and the help of his friends—both human and magical—to solve the mystery of what happened to his parents, and defeat the foes who never wanted the Lost Heir of Griffon to be found...

Book 2 - Jake & The Giant
Big Trouble...
​
Reunited with his aristocratic magical relatives, and finally getting used to his supernatural powers, orphaned ex-pickpocket Jake Everton, the young Lord Griffon, travels on his first-ever holiday to beautiful Norway. There, at the amazing Invention Convention, his cousin Archie, the boy genius, plans to unveil his marvelous new flying machine to the scientific world. But legends of the Viking Age die hard in Scandinavia.

Danger strikes as famous Victorian scientists start mysteriously disappearing. When Archie vanishes, too, Jake races to the rescue. With the help of his trusty pet Gryphon, he tracks the kidnapper to his lair, only to come face-to-face with—an angry Norse giant!

From the whimsical steampunk oddities of the Invention Convention to wondrous worlds of Norse mythology, join Jake and his friends on a giant-sized adventure full of hair-raising dangers and big laughs!

Book 3 - The Dark Portal
The Pickpocket Who Inherited a Goldmine
After his harsh beginnings as a rough-and-tumble orphan on the streets of London, Jake Everton, the boy Earl of Griffon, takes his rightful place as the long-lost heir of an aristocratic family with magical powers—his personal quest, to follow in his slain parents’ footsteps as a Lightrider in the age-old battle of good versus evil. In the fantastical nooks and crannies of the Victorian Age, Jake and his friends (including his pet Gryphon!) find no shortage of adventure—righting magic-related wrongs, solving supernatural mysteries, and exploring wondrous new worlds.
​
A Dark Presence
​Something wicked stalks a quaint town in the misty mountains of Wales, attacking humans and magic folk alike. Jake and his friends must get to the bottom of it—and in the land of deep, dwarven mines, the bottom can be very dark, indeed.

Jake & The Gingerbread Wars
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men…and Gingerbread Men?! A very special Gryphon Chronicles story, for all those who love A Christmas Carol and savor the joys and traditions of a Victorian Christmas.

(Note: This book can stand alone without having read the rest of the series.)

Santa’s Horrid Little Helper
Humbug hates being a Christmas elf. Instead of making toys, he’d rather make mischief. Angling for a new job in Halloween Town, he sets out to prove he’s frightful enough for the post by ruining Christmas for as many people as possible—until Jake and his friends manage to capture the little troublemaker, determined to put a stop to his devious schemes.

When the kids find out that Santa is offering a reward of ‘One Christmas Wish Granted’ for the safe return of his runaway elf, the gang sets out on a rip-roaring, snowbound adventure to the North Pole to hand Humbug over and collect the bounty. But the way is fraught with danger, leaving Jake and his pals to wonder if they’ll make it home in time for Christmas—or if they’ll even make it back alive!

​Book 4 - Rise of Allies
A Storm on the Horizon…

Every spring, the aristocratic magical families of Victorian England gather secretly at Merlin Hall to hobnob and hold the annual Fey Parliament. While the adults of Magic-kind—from wizards to wood elves, fauns to fairies, giants to djinnis, and their human counterparts—debate matters of importance, the gifted youths must undergo the dreaded Assessments, testing their supernatural abilities. And Jake’s up next.

For rascally Jake Everton, the boy Earl of Griffon, the pressure’s on! Hungry to qualify for the elite Lightrider program that guarantees a life of adventure, Jake must prove himself to the Elders as a worthy young hero-in-training. But when a mysterious junior witch arrives at Merlin Hall with secrets in her eyes and danger at her heels, Jake and his friends must unite to defeat the dark forces that have invaded the gathering and have sworn the frightfully-talented girl’s destruction.

Join Jake and Dani, Archie and Isabelle on an epic journey into a world of enchantment, making marvelous new friends…and terrible new enemies.

Book 5 - Secrets of the Deep
Some lost treasures were never meant to be found…

With the Dark Druids after him and a magical war brewing, thirteen-year-old Jake Everton must lie low for a while, so Aunt Ramona, the Elder witch, takes him and the gang on a long beach holiday out of harm’s way—supposedly. But, sure enough, Jake plunges into trouble once again when he meets a feisty royal mermaid on the run.

Crown Princess Sapphira, the adventurous daughter of King Nereus, recently ventured to the edge of the Calypso Deep and stumbled upon a powerful artifact from ancient Atlantis. But the mysterious orb holds deadlier secrets than she ever suspected and, soon, every power-mad tyrant in the Seven Seas wants it—especially the dread, undead pirate king, Captain Davy Jones.

When the legendary Lord of the Locker invades her father’s kingdom, demanding the orb and taking her little sister hostage in exchange, Sapphira turns to her new friends, Jake and company, to help her rescue Princess Lil and stop Davy Jones from using the artifact’s powers to expand his watery territory by covering the earth in a second Noah’s Flood!

Book 6 - The Black Fortress
Behind the iron gates of The Black Fortress, evil gathers its forces, preparing to strike…

Three months ago, the horrible news that the Dark Druids captured his beloved pet Gryphon sent thirteen-year-old Jake Everton reeling—especially since he knows he’s the one the warlock brotherhood really wants. It’s a trap, and poor Red is just the bait. Well aware of the threat, the Elders have forbidden the daring boy hero from taking any action to rescue his faithful companion. Instead, Jake and his friends must cool their heels at the Order’s palace headquarters, where they’ll be “safe.”

But treachery stalks the hallowed corridors of Merlin Hall. Palace intrigues abound as a traitor makes a secret pact with the enemy. And when a terrifying prophecy emerges with Jake at the center of it all, the full-scale magical war between good and evil that the Order has long dreaded only needs one spark to explode…
