Seventeen-year-old Anya Macklin is trapped in a brutal re-training facility designed to keep her safe. With her life in tatters, she can’t shake the image of her parents’ murder by rebels who also wanted her dead.

The facility needs to prepare Anya for the dangers beyond its gun-lined walls. Nine gruelling levels of tests await her before she can escape its hold. Success might mean freedom… but failure could kill her.

A street-smart stranger with dubious underground connections tells Anya not to trust the facility. Still numb with grief, she ignores his warnings until two teenagers take their lives in front of her. Thrust into action, Anya pushes deeper into the game that pits teenagers against each other.

To survive, she must choose a side. The right choice will guarantee Anya’s freedom. The wrong one will kill her…

Can the teen survive an infamous bounty hunter, fugitive king slayer, enigmatic dragon, and legendary evil warlock?

In a time of great imbalance, when the elven tribes are retreating to their homeland, abandoning the world of Hiddenkel, three elves come together in a ceremonial request for a bringer of balance.

In order to keep the child’s power in check, her soul is divided into three parts, creating three sisters, each taking on the gift of one element – earth, wind, and water. In their seventeenth year, two Fae boys arrive at the time the girls’ destiny falls upon them. The girls are unprepared for the task or the consequences. Can they bring balance to the world without losing all whom they hold precious in the process?

As a veil witch, I’m used to taking out the supernatural trash. Everything from poltergeists to vampires, you name it and I’ve dealt with it. So opening a paranormal cleanup business just seemed to make sense. But when I breach the Fae realm to encounter a girl recently reported missing, start seeing the ghost of a witch whose disappearance has never been solved, and discover a Book of Shadows that opens only for me, I can’t just go back to business as usual. Especially when a sexy and mysterious mage becomes my new partner. Readers are calling Realms of Ghosts and Magic “enthralling,” “spectacularly written” with “plot twists that kept my heart racing!”
