One hand of cards and it’s all over but the crying…

A Dark Elf princess embarks on a perilous adventure to save her world…

In the shadowed land of Elfhame the Hawthorne Throne is in grave peril, and the heir, Prince Brannon Luthinor, is nowhere to be found. He and his human wife have crossed between the worlds in pursuit of the Dark Elves’ ancient enemy. Only one person has the courage to follow: his sister Anneth.

But the mortal world is far more complex than Anneth expected. Desperate to find her brother and his wife, she instead stumbles into danger of her own. Her only hope of protecting those she loves is to give herself up to the enemy, and risk sacrificing everything for the sake of a mortal prince.

The Complete Series: IceFire Trilogy by Patty Jansen

Where magic is dark and gritty, characters troubled and twisted, and victory comes at a heavy price.

All three books in one.

Deep under the City of Glass in the frozen southern land, an age-old machine radiates a power which locals call icefire. Most citizens are immune to it, but a few, always born with physical disabilities, can bend it to their will.

For fifty years, the ruling Eagle Knights, who fly on the backs of giant birds, have killed these Imperfects, fearing the return of the old royal family, who used icefire to perform evil magic.

Across the border in steam-age, science-focused Chevakia, people have built barriers to protect themselves from the radiation, which is deadly to them.

Chevakia also harbours the old southern royal family’s only surviving members, and they are planning their return to power, taking both countries to the first war in fifty years.

If you like the dark and twisted characters of George R.R. Martin, Joe Abercrombie or Robin Hobb, try the Icefire Trilogy today.

Wolves I Bring the Fire Part I a Loki Series.

Nook, iBooks, Kobo, & GooglePlay

Amy Lewis is on her way to her grandma’s house. She’s being chased by a very bad wolf. Galaxies away Loki is waking up in a prison cell, strangely without a hangover, and with no idea what he’s done wrong — this time anyway. But he does know Thor is hiding something, Odin is up to something wicked, and there seems to be something he’s forgotten…

In this urban fantasy tale that is equal parts “Dresden Files” and “American Gods,” a very nice midwestern girl and a jaded, mischievous Loki must join forces to outwit gods, elves, magic sniffing cats, and nosy neighbors. If Loki can remember exactly what he’s forgotten and Amy can convince him not to be too distracted by Earthly gadgets, Earthly pleasures, or three day benders, they just might pull it off…

This first installment of I Bring the Fire is for anyone who suspects chaos and mischief makers might have their own redeeming qualities, and anyone who just wants a good fantasy romp through modern Earth, ancient Asgard, and beyond!

What the Critics are Saying:
“I found this story to be an amazingly accurate retelling of the Norse Myths. Excellent, highly recommended, two thumbs on fire.”
– Loki, Norse God of Mischief and Chaos (and God of Fire)

“Eight hooves up. As one of Loki’s children, I approve.”
– Sleipnir, eight-legged horse child of Loki

“This is not an accurate representation of the Norse Pantheon. Pure fantasy, a fairy tale, don’t believe a word of it.”
– Odin, All Father, leader of the Norse Gods

“I am supposed to be the hero in Norse Mythology!”
– Thor, Norse God of Thunder

Monsters I Bring the Fire Part II A Loki Series

Nook, iBooks, Kobo, & GooglePlay

After being attacked by a serial killer, saved by Loki — so-called God of Mischief, Lies and Chaos — dragged to Alfheim, losing every cent in her bank account, and caring for her grandmother, Amy Lewis has lost her scholarship to veterinary school. But she has a plan. If she manages to keep her day job as a receptionist, and her night job as a vet tech, she may be able to get her scholarship reinstated and save enough money for the dreaded ‘miscellaneous fees.’

Too bad her day boss is unbearable…

Agent Steve Rogers has political aspirations, but when a suitcase nuke turns out to be something much worse and so-called Norse gods start showing up in his life, he has a priority shift.

Meanwhile, Loki’s priorities and plans haven’t changed at all. He wants Asgard to burn. Of course, earthly pleasures can be so distracting.

These three disparate characters have little in common, but they’ll have to join forces to save earth from trolls, wyrms, frost giant invasions, and an old evil growing beneath Chicago’s streets.

In this second volume of I Bring the Fire, Chaos comes to our world and decides to stay. The nine realms will never be the same.
