The space pirates think they’ve conquered Farflung Space Station.

But they didn’t count on Duke. The station’s Head of Security wants to prove to his army-officer parents he’s outgrown his youthful rebelliousness, and defeating a small army of pirates (almost) single-handedly is the perfect opportunity.

And they didn’t count on Lockey. This beautiful, kick-ass princess knows every weapon and martial arts system in the galaxy. She fell in love with Duke at first sight, and now winning his heart and destroying the pirates are her greatest desires.

And most importantly, the pirates didn’t count on Sandrina. After loving Duke from afar, she now yearns to fight for him. The attractive waif has discovered so many of Farflung’s secrets that she’s the most powerful person on the station, though nobody knows it yet.

They’re about to find out.

When Auric left his father’s magic shop to study with the great magicians of the republic, he never expected to be replaced, let alone by the barely educated nephew of the local carpenter. Returning home to find his rightful inheritance in jeopardy, Auric knows he has to prove that he’s the better magician—and the better man.

Jericho scratched his way out of poverty and abuse, and he’s not going to let some bookish city boy send him running. He’s ready to play dirty … or at least sit back and let the impulsive and temperamental Auric set himself on fire trying to do basic magic Jericho could do with his eyes closed.

Their rivalry might burn Spellsmith Manor down around them … or it might prove the key to unlocking a long held family secret and saving a world that doesn’t even realize it’s in danger.

A 3 book gaslamp fantasy set with friendship, humor, and adventure.

Around the clock, raucous parties erupted on Jason Harper Victory Day. Revelers filled the streets. Pent-up anxiety over the anticipation of the world’s demise had been intensifying for years. In an instant, it was released. He set them free. He gave them a second chance. They believed.

A curious phenomenon confounded the government: In the decades leading up to what everyone had been calling Armageddon, the wealthy made a calculated decision—the ethical choice. They stopped having children. The poor did the opposite. If the trend continued, the implications were clear.

Many claimed the solution was divinely inspired, at least that is how it is canonized in the Book of Jason. But He was pragmatic and spoke directly to the people using simple language they understood. Everyone knew what Jason meant when He told them, “I’m going to kill two birds with one stone.”

Sam never knew his parents. He’s never met another human—or seen a sunrise, smelled a flower, or eaten a regular meal.
It’s night in the desert, but he doesn’t feel the cold. The sky is clear, and the stars twinkle. He has never seen the sky from Earth before. It looks so strange. He can’t stop smiling. This is Earth!

There is a building ahead. People will be inside. His heart skips a beat as he takes a step forward. He has dreamed of this moment for as long as he can remember.

But that which can be found can just as easily be lost again. Better had Sam’s arrival gone unnoticed, but the life form known only as the Authority is not one to miss such things. Nearly as old as time, and almost as powerful, the Authority was built by as both an enforcer and a war machine. It has been watching Sam his entire life. Watching, and waiting, and judging. Now it has decided it’s time to act.

Once a year, the skies burn red. Upon this day, the Fire Kingdom’s priests perform their ritual: each newborn’s palm is lacerated, opened with a sacred sword, for Firia’s next ruler will be seen to shed no blood.

Seventeen years later, Lumio illuminates Noakhail’s true identity, presenting Distra, his rightful sword. Training side by side, the pair devise a plan to reclaim the throne . . . but this will mean ousting a crooked king, whose warriors are everywhere.
