Some are born to power. Others must find it within themselves.

Ages ago, powerful beings known only as the Elders left their mark on the world, gifting powerful stones to their followers. Through these stones, some have been gifted by birth with great abilities, while others search for them as a way to access that power. Scattered throughout the known lands, wars have been fought for them, and won by them.

As a new danger emerges, those who once defended the stones begin to fall and new heroes must rise. All paths lead toward the Elder Stones, for the one who controls the stones controls power.

The shadowy folds of Mo capture both souls and secrets.

Catron’s father intended to scare her with his words. After all, her mother traveled far from home, losing herself to her wayward spirit. But instead of heeding his warning, Catron longs for more than her life as a glass blower’s apprentice. When Dawkin, a member of the King of Mo’s illustrious guard, offers her a place at the Vradian Academy, she willingly accepts.

Fivlon would rather gouge his eyes out with an iron stick than attend the Vradian Academy. Messing around with his friends is a lot more fun than attending school. Following in his father’s footsteps as leader isn’t a priority. Until one of his friends disappears.

At school, Catron and Fivlon face a much larger task than their ethics homework. As students disappear from the academy, they must figure out who is behind it before they become the next victims.

With Azer and Fivlon by her side, she will travel over the mountains to an unknown city to rescue her friend.

Soon a magician from the academy appears to aid in the rescue. Catron is thankful for the help of someone who can use her magical objects, despite the protests of her companions.

But as the magician’s mark, sealed by a fire pact, begins to burn beneath her skin… she wonders if she should have listened to them.

Only one man knows why Rej Antares is being hunted by Galactic Intelligence and that man has gone missing.

Rej Antares, former galactic agent, has started a freelance spy-for-hire business and it’s not going so well. His rent is overdue and his best clients either don’t pay on time or carelessly put his life in danger. Now, just when he’s got the chance to make up for his losses by collecting a bounty for the crime lord Kagga Jín, he gets sidetracked by his former partner, Astra, who tells him he’s a wanted man and that Thaddeus, the only man in the galaxy who might be able to explain why, has disappeared.

If he can dodge a swarm of bloodthirsty bounty hunters and a deadly team of rogue black ops agents, he might live long enough to find Thaddeus and get his life back on track, but when has it ever been that easy?

DAY OF THE ANCESTOR is the second book in the trilogy.

Murder, monsters…and a disreputable Victorian lady’s maid.

A killer stalks the grimy streets of Whitechapel—but Scotland Yard seems determined to turn a blind eye. With one look at her best friend’s corpse, Liz Sharp already knows the truth: the killer is a werewolf.

No one important will hold a werewolf accountable—after all, the monsters rule Europe. Certainly, no one will believe a werewolf victim like Liz.

Her best hope for justice might well lie with her emotionally repressed employer, Princess May. Certainly, she can’t risk trusting the irritatingly personable Inspector Short, who dogs her steps from the slums of Whitechapel to the palaces of St James.

But as corpses mount up, Liz discovers that no one is precisely who she thought: not Sal, not herself, and certainly not the werewolf…
