Betrayed. Hunted. Left for dead. But not even death itself can keep the last ranger from vengeance.

Leiyn “Firebrand” is no stranger to a fight. A brash ranger of the Titan Wilds, she takes up her bow to ward against the colossal spirit creatures known as titans, ever a threat to the colonies she has sworn to protect.

But no amount of skill can guard against treachery.

When tragedy strikes the rangers’ lodge, Leiyn vows to avenge the fallen. But if she is to succeed, she must embrace a power within her she has long denied.

Power over life and death.

She did not choose this path, but Leiyn knows her duty. For if she fails, the legacy of the rangers dies with her—and all the Titan Wilds will fall into shadow.

The Last Ranger is an epic fantasy tale full of friendship, magic, resilience, vengeance, and wonder. If you enjoy archery, fantasy rangers, and small party adventures, then start this new journey with the first book in the Ranger of the Titan Wilds series.

I’ve finally met the Brothers Grimm and a certain infamous vampire. Yikes. Do I have to listen to the gods of story and let the plot play out, or can I stop Dracula before he murders…again?

I might be a perfectionist with a haunting past, but that chill in the air is from the ghosts that follow me to each investigation. The Brothers Grimm are insane if they think I’ll apologize for saving people. Brutal fairy tales equal dead bodies and I’m not about to stop twisting these stories into a happily-ever-after.

Even if it destroys me (AKA turns me into an undead creature).

On top of the murders, I’m hunting for a way to free my daughter from the plot of Peter Pan before Wendy disappears into Neverland. But what could Dracula, Peter Pan, and the cryptic words of the Brothers Grimm possibly have in common?

Mari must multitask motherhood, monsterhood, and stopping a murderer in the fourth book of the Mari Fable Mysteries.

And most importantly, she is in a position to choose her path, seemingly for the first time in her life.

Determined to face her past and unlock the secrets her apprentice hinted at, Viola sets off into the jungle of Téarman unaware of dangers there, which will test her faith, her self-belief and threaten to cast her back into the pit of her worst despair. But more frightening even than a raging swarm of poisonous fireflies is the knowledge she must face the most terrifying and powerful being in the whole intergalactic empire—her mother.

This is the second book in the Wishmaster series. For best enjoyment, read The Apprentice Storyteller first.
