A young woman with a secret heritage. A man who made a deal with the devil. And an academy where the students are just as dangerous as the demons….

Erin
I’ve been kept from the truth all my life. Demons walk the earth, and I’m destined to slay them – I only wish I hadn’t lost someone I loved while discovering that truth. 

Now the demons are after me. The only way to stay alive is to attend an academy for demon hunters – a school where I’ll learn how to kill supernaturals and slay the underworld’s minions. But I still feel there are secrets I’m not being told….

Rey
I sold my soul to save my family – and lost everything because of it. Now I’m a slave to the underworld, a fake hunter with half-demon blood. 

I’ve been sent on a special assassination mission. If I fail, it means my life. But protecting Erin soon becomes more important than any other task, and there’s something about her that tells me her arrival at the academy will change everything….

An upper young adult paranormal romance novel set in the universe of the Rite World, this is a dark fantasy you won’t want to miss! Forge your weapons and cast spells in a school where demons are hunted and the hunters themselves become prey.

For fans of Holly Black’s The Cruel Prince, Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Karen Marie Moning’s Fever Series, Bridget E. Baker begins a saga of shocking truths, deadly intrigue, violent battle, and sisterly betrayal. 

My mom should have killed me the day I was born.

Being a twin complicates the Evian line of succession, but Chancery Alamecha is fine letting Judica inherit the throne. After all, she’s the stronger sister—the merciless fighter, the ruthless politician, and the groomed heir. But something unexpected happens when Chancery tries on her mother’s staridium ring, forcing her into a role that she never wanted: the prophesied queen who will prevent the destruction of Earth.

Now I have to kill my sister.

Judica, enraged by this turn of events, vows to do anything to reclaim her rightful place as empress. Including challenging Chancery to a battle to the death. While Chancery is away training, she gets a taste of the human world, where she can do whatever she wants without family obligations. Now torn between a life she was born into and one that makes her happy, she must confront her treacherous sister—or cause the end of the world.

Editorial Reviews:

Publisher’s Weekly said, “Displaced pulses with exciting incident, and even though this is the first book in a series the climax is consequential and exciting, even as it entices readers with the promise of more. Baker’s writing is swift but potent, and scenes of action and romance both prove exciting. Chancery’s exciting choices power the narrative from start to epic climax.”

Kirkus featured Displaced in the indie section of their print magazine the month they reviewed it, and they said Displaced is, “a fast moving, engaging tale in what promises to be an epic fantasy romance series.”

★★★★ Displaced has been a finalist in several AWARDS!! ★★★★

Kristiana Liepa was supposed to use the money to save her family farm. She was NOT supposed to spend it all to save a massive, black stallion.

But when she saw how he was being treated, what’s a vet to do?

She had no idea that gorgeous beast was really a powerful (and morally gray) magician who had been cursed by a witch, or that she was the only one who could reverse the curse.

And she couldn’t possibly have known how that one rash decision would irrevocably change her life. . . and his.
