As two sisters choose very different paths to support their family, they are drawn into a conspiracy that threatens the kingdom in this high fantasy novel.

Orphaned, two sisters are left to find their own way.

Sweet and proper, Karah’s future seems secure at a glamorous Flower House. She could be pampered for the rest of her life. . . if she agrees to play their game.

Nemienne, neither sweet nor proper, has fewer choices. Left with no alternative, she accepts a mysterious mage’s offer of an apprenticeship. Agreeing means a home and survival, but can Nemienne trust the mage?

With the arrival of a foreign bard into the quiet city, dangerous secrets are unearthed, and both sisters find themselves at the center of a plot that threatens not only to upset their newly found lives, but also to destroy their kingdom.

My name is Kaeleen Donovan. I’m a Theosian-a minor goddess. They call me Fury. Oath bound to Hecate, I was charged from birth to hunt down Abominations who come in off the World Tree and send them back to Pandoriam.

When the Thunderstrike — an ancient artifact from the time of the Weather Wars — is stolen by the Order of the Black Mist, Hecate orders me to find the magical device. The chaos magicians are out to upset the balance that Gaia instilled during the World Shift. But I soon discover that the leader of the Black Mist is out to do more than stir up trouble. He’s looking to set up a new world order with himself on the throne. Caught between two rival forces, will my friends and I be able to survive as we search for the Thunderstrike and attempt to stop a war that could bring about the end of the civilization?

At eighteen, Bella Hexley was forced to leave her home—and her magic—far behind. She went to law school, built a career, raised her daughter, and lived a completely normal, spell-free life. Easy… until her husband pulled the ultimate dirty trick: filed for divorce, drained their bank accounts, and somehow convinced the court she’s an unfit mother. Like, seriously?

Now she’s forty, broke, blacklisted, and one mascara smear away from a full-on breakdown, Bella has no choice but to dust off her law degree and seek help in the one place she’s been told she doesn’t belong:Chicago’s Enchanted District—the Midwest’s magical capital.

It’s the only place she can go to reclaim her magic and take on the legal battle that matters: fighting for her daughter. The case is messier than her ex’s Instagram lies. Along the way there’s magical mayhem, shady advice, and Jack—a middle-aged man with a James Bond vibe, salt and pepper hair, electric-blue eyes, and magic that sparks something deep inside her.

But Bella won’t back down. Because saving herself? Totally on brand.

And falling in love along the way? Well… nobody’s perfect.
