The fates of those in Chrysanthos lay in the balance when elemental and Elite Guardian Vaylin Carina finds a mysterious stone, its unknown power the cause of much death and destruction. Determined to understand its secrets and unlock its magickal potential to protect her people from its threat, she must travel north to learn about the stone’s origin but discovers far more than she bargained for.

But other threats move silently, waiting to strike the mighty Panthea Central and gain control over the portal nexus. Time runs short as the Elite Guardians must determine how the pieces connect and who is an ally and who is a foe.

A paranormal cozy box set filled with magic, mystery, and a whole lot of good old fashioned family.

My sister, Sapphire, and I had raised our family. Done a darn good job of it too.

Now, right smack in the middle of my life, everything is changing. The girls have moved out, Sapphire went and eloped without telling me, and now I’m getting the feeling that my long-standing secret relationship with Sheriff Orville Taylor is about to change too.

At least if he has any say in the matter. And what with him being half of our secret couple, I’d say that was a given.

One thing I know for sure. The Goddess isn’t done with me yet. Mid-life, schmid-life… the best may well be yet to come.

There’s another thing I’m pretty sure about as well. My life will never be boring. Not when dead bodies keep showing up.

Lorth of Ostarin is an assassin trained by a wizard unknown to his kind. He is paid very well to employ both the primeval darkness of a hunter and the ordered light of a mage, an uneasy combination he does not question until he returns home after a long assignment and trips into a turbid river of war, politics and the violation of all he holds dear. Lawless and adept, he picks no sides and takes no prisoners. When his wolfish ways get him imprisoned for crimes he did not commit, he discovers the deeper source of his ability and falls in love with a priestess who frees him to his fate. But the rift in his heart widens under the forces of love, loyalty and the occupation of his realm by a warlord who honors neither hunters nor wizards. To reclaim his homeland, Lorth must bow his head to death itself, a sacrifice that will transform him into the most powerful hunter the land has ever known.
