On the wild planet of Talamh, humanity thrived…
…until the alien Alfur conquered their world.
Now, defeated and broken, humanity serves their immortal overlords.
And pleads to the stars for a hero.

Rydian Holt is nothing, nobody. Just another human from the streets of Talamh. Or at least, that’s what he thinks—until his mother is caught up in a fledgling resistance group. Branded a traitor and sentenced to fight in the arena, now Rydian must face hardened gladiators in single combat. To survive and advance through the ranks, he’ll need the help of an enigmatic weapons master—and more than a little luck.

But after a lifetime of servitude, survival is no longer enough for Rydian. He seeks a way to fight back— not just against his fellow gladiators, but against the Alfur themselves. If Rydian can uncover their greatest secret—the truth about the mysterious Light that powers their world—he might just win his freedom.

When Heaven becomes the door to Hell, the only one you can turn to is the Devil.

My father is the self-proclaimed God.
I guess that makes me the Devil.

For hundreds of years my family has hijacked the souls of believers from your world to reincarnate them in my dimension, where they face endless torture in abject slavery.
And that’s just the ones who were promised Heaven.

The worst thing is they’re helped by your own people. A syndicate of high placed humans, your leaders, sell you out for a cozy second life in our world once they pass over.
I’m committed to bring them down. To expose the biggest scam in human history and to defeat my megalomaniac father.

Helped by a disillusioned priest with violent tendencies and a computer wizard who is much, much more, I am taking on the most powerful organisation known to mankind.

Oh yeah, and my family.

The Devil You Know was a finalist in the PageTurner Screenplay-book adaptation awards. It is the first book in a brand new series by USAT best selling Urban Fantasy author Monique Singleton

I’m Apiya. No, I’m not a badass magical assassin. I’m a barber to the supernatural.

My magic is very weak and very niche—it works best with keeping things clean.
I know. I can sense your awe at my power already. And I’m sure you can see why barbering suits me well.

Although now that I’ve mastered the art of trimming a weretiger’s regrowth, my biggest challenge is fielding the insults of the shop’s cat. Sometimes I wish I had enough magic to go deeper into the city’s magical underbelly.

You know what they say—be careful what you wish for.

Everything changes when a pair of forest fae come into the shop one night, asking for help to protect their youngling. Something’s got them properly spooked, but they won’t say what.

If it’s big and bad enough to scare the fae, it’s most definitely powerful enough to make a mouthful of me—probably a small mouthful, at that. And now that the fae have come to me, whatever’s after them is also after me.

My weak magic and a sarcastic cat for backup are unlikely to be enough to keep me alive and save the fae youngling. How the hell am I going to get out of this mess?

Grab Touched by Magic to see if I make it. Oh, and don’t get offended if the cat insults you…
