Choose: a quick death… or slow poison…

Locked deep in the palace dungeon for killing her abuser, Yelena knows she’ll never be free again. The laws in Ixia are strict, and murderers must be executed, no matter the reason. But just as she’s resigned herself to her fate, she’s offered an extraordinary reprieve.

As the food taster, Yelena will eat the best meals, have rooms in the palace — and risk assassination by anyone trying to kill the Commander of Ixia. To make matters worse, the chief of security deliberately feeds her Butterfly’s Dust, and only by appearing for her daily antidote will she delay an agonizing death from the poison.

As Yelena tries to escape her new dilemma, disasters keep mounting. Rebels plot to seize Ixia and Yelena develops magical powers she can’t control. Her life is threatened again, and in order to survive, she must unravel the secrets behind the past she’s been running from.

A courageous orphan. An ancient evil. A mysterious medallion.

In the village of Laan, Zodak endures a bleak life of misery at the hands of his hateful cousins and aunt. His steadfast uncle Ardon is his only anchor. When a water sprite arrives, speaking of destiny and an epic journey that awaits, Zodak struggles to grasp how an adventure with goblins, krikkis, and dwarves could ever be his story.

But when his uncle falls in a kidnapping plot and entrusts Zodak with a mysterious medallion, Zodak flees into a vast, unknown world. Seeking answers about his past and the medallion he carries, Zodak finds himself drawn to the magnificent city Uth Becca. In his journey, he unearths a clandestine order, a corrupt Magistrate, and a sinister plot that threatens humanity’s very existence.

A great evil awakens. Dark hordes are on the march. In a world desperate for a hero, can an outcast be enough?

Get swept away in an epic fantasy adventure with an unlikely hero on the edge of manhood, world-building reminiscent of Brandon Sanderson, and a protagonist who must decide whether to fight for truth, even if it costs him everything.

Dragons can be dangerous …

… if you don’t bond with them first.

Eldwin wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a Dragon Guard, but not for the glory. With his family dead and their lands dying, the opportunity to join the dragon rider school is all he has. But before Eldwin can bond with a dragon and guard the skies, he must pass three tests to prove his worth.

Compassion, magical aptitude, and armed combat.

He’s determined to pass, but his maimed arm is a constant reminder of his disadvantage. Will the obstacles Eldwin faces keep him from reaching his dreams, or will he finally see what it’s like to ride the skies?

Fans of Sarah K.L. Wilson’s Dragon School, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon and Anne McCaffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern will feel right at home.

Trial by Sorcery is the first episode of the series Dragon Riders of Osnen.

“A fast-paced and gripping romantasy! This is the book that will cure your Fourth Wing hangover and give you everything you love about dragon riders, fae magic, and grumpy book boyfriends.” —Tessonja Odette, author of the Entangled with Fae series

Her life, or her love. Tahlia can’t have both.

When Tahlia’s commander dies under mysterious circumstances, the only suspect is… Wait for it—their new commander.

Fantastic.

If Tahlia accuses her without proof, she’ll lose everything. Including her soul-bonded dragon.

To make matters worse, something is wrong with her handsome and perfectly grouchy captain. Marius won’t meet her gaze, and he won’t utter one word about the new commander.

Like, not a syllable. As if maybe he isn’t able.

But Talia can’t just walk away from him. This is Marius we are talking about. He is about to set off on some secret mission, and she can’t let him go alone when he has that creepy, clouded look in his eyes. Especially with the fate of the dragon riders resting in such dangerous hands.

Dark magic and evil forces are rising in Kingdom of Spirits, and Tahlia is determined to uncover the truth. Even if it means risking her life.

This fantasy rom com is NOT a standalone! Check out Bound by Dragons Book One for Talia and Marius’s first encounter.

***This series is upper YA/NA and contains mature language and situations. There is a dash of spice here and there on the page.

Magic. Royalty. Power plays. Swords. Action. And a slow-burn romance with the bastard son of the enemy king . . .

There’s a bounty on my head, and it’s going to spark a supernatural war.

My name is Petra Maguire, and I’m a vampire hunter and full-blood Fae living among humans. My father would rather have me in Faerie serving his queen, but I want nothing to do with her tyrannical reign.

But when I discover I have a changeling twin sister who’s been kidnapped by the enemy King Periclase, I can’t avoid Faerie affairs any longer.

Plunging back into the Faerie world of magic, royalty, and power plays I’ve been avoiding for so long, I take on a dangerous mission to free my twin.

And then all hell breaks loose.

Periclase puts a bounty on my head, and he has unlimited resources to pursue me. And the rescue of my twin has pushed inter-kingdom hostilities to a tipping point. Suddenly, Faerie is on the brink of all-out war, which would mean almost certain death for my soldier father and a life of slavery for my new-found twin.

Fortunately, I have the power to stop the looming war. There’s just one little catch: I have to enter the Battle of Champions against Periclase’s best fighter, and it’s a fight to the death. I was practically born with a sword in my hand and spent my youth defeating opponents. But will it be enough in this battle with everything—including my life—on the line?
