Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good and Evil. Life and Death. Living and Undead. Some distinctions seem obvious. Until you're forced to look a little closer... Faced with tragedy, Mikal searches for answers as he tries to unravel the secret of life's greatest mystery: the tenuous border between life and death. The journey leads him to the dark art of Necromancy, a sacred practice defiled by those who ignore its solemn obligations, seeking only to advance their own power. Branded by their callous actions, Mikal's quest is constantly hindered as he is forced to hide his true calling. Traveling down the well-worn path of righteous justice provides Rina with a rare bit of solace in a harsh world. The line between good and evil is perfectly clear, and she treads confidently along its razor-edge, secure in the knowledge that her actions are influenced by a higher power. Rina's dreams are shattered when The Order rejects her plea for admission, casting her adrift without a compass to guide her. Surrender is not in Rina's nature, however, and she soon sets out on a mission to earn her rightful place. Several small victories reassure her that she's once again on the right track, but still very far from gaining the favor she needs. Killing the foul Necromancer she discovered would definitely be enough... Conflict forces the two enemies into an alliance neither of them wants but can't avoid. Circumstances push them even closer together-but there's a cost. Only a miracle can repair the damage they've done to each other, and while its Rina's life that hangs in the balance, Mikal may have even more to lose.

Book excerpt: Blood and victory. There is no other way. The “fresh and fascinating magical world” (School Library Journal) of The Impostor Queen expands in this companion novel that answers the question: who is the real queen of the Kupari? Ansa has always been a fighter. As a child, she fought the invaders who murdered her parents and snatched her as a raid prize. She fought for her place next to Thyra, the daughter of the Krigere Chieftain. She fought for her status as a warrior in her tribe: blood and victory are her way of life. But the day the Krigere cross the great lake and threaten the witch queen of the Kupari, everything changes. Cursed by the queen with fire and ice, Ansa is forced to fight against an invisible enemy—the dark magic that has embedded itself deep in her bones. The more she tries to hide it, the more dangerous it becomes. And with the Krigere numbers decimated and the tribe under threat from the traitorous brother of the dead Chieftain, Ansa is torn between her loyalty to the Krigere, her love for Thyra, and her own survival instincts. With her world in chaos and each side wanting to claim her for their own, only one thing is certain: unless Ansa can control the terrible magic inside her, everything she’s fought for will be destroyed.

Book excerpt: The elders chose Elli to be queen, but they chose wrong in this beautifully crafted novel that “fans of Rae Carson’s books and Victoria Areyard’s Red Queen will find much to love in” (VOYA). Sixteen-year-old Elli was a small child when the Elders of Kupari chose her to succeed the Valtia, the queen who wields infinitely powerful ice and fire magic. Since then, Elli has lived in the temple, surrounded by luxury and tutored by priests, as she prepares for the day when the Valtia perishes and the magic finds a new home in her. Elli is destined to be the most powerful Valtia to ever rule. But when the queen dies defending the kingdom from invading warriors, the magic doesn’t enter Elli. It’s nowhere to be found. Disgraced, Elli flees to the outlands, the home of banished criminals—some who would love to see the temple burn with all its priests inside. As she finds her footing in this new world, Elli uncovers devastating new information about the Kupari magic, those who wield it, and the prophecy that foretold her destiny. Torn between the love she has for her people and her growing loyalty to the banished, Elli struggles to understand the true role she was meant to play. But as war looms, she must align with the right side—before the kingdom and its magic are completely destroyed.

Book excerpt: She's the last member of a cursed and deadly clan. He's the crown prince with a dangerous secret. Together, they'll save the empire. Or destroy it. Decades ago, the High King of Sundolia waged a war that vanquished the Serpent clan and drove them out of the empire, reducing them to nothing more than legends spoken of in occasional frightened whispers. But they did not leave peacefully. Their parting gift included curses that now rest within the empire's soil, beneath the shade of its jungles, treading through the waves of its seas. Growing more and more dormant as the years pass under the rule of that increasingly tyrannical high king. Until Alaya--a young woman with a hidden Serpent mark who shouldn't exist--accidentally wakes one of them up. Then another. And suddenly she finds herself exiled from her adopted village and left with no choice but to seek the truth about her lost clan and the so-called curses they left behind. About her true home. About a power, stolen from the Serpent goddess herself, that is supposedly resting in that home. It is the sort of power that could help her overthrow a king, expose the lies he's told, and put a stop to his wars. The crown prince of Sundolia claims he wants to put a stop to those wars with her. That he only wants to help her find that power so he can undo the horrors his father has created. All they have to do is find a way to trust each other. But the closer they get to that power, the more complicated the truth--and the trust-- becomes. The more dangerous Alaya's waking power seems. And the more she begins to wonder: Can you still be the hero if you were born a curse?

Mists cloak the island, and Fae enchantment is transforming what used to be a kitschy vacation spot into a labyrinth where Badb Catha's Fae lurk, waiting to feed on the bodies and minds of the unwary, and on the very souls of the dead – including the spirit of Harper’s own father.

Now, trapped in a magic dreamworld of the life she should have had, Harper has to decide whether she wants to live in a perfect fantasy, or fight to save her father and her best friend from fates worse than death.
