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…

Betrayed by Family. Tortured by the Enemy. Destined to Destroy the World.

Wynter Reeves lives by three rules: Don’t stand out. Blend in. Remain invisible. In a world where individuality is dangerous, being forgettable keeps her alive.

Until she begins showing signs of a rare disease, drawing the unwanted attention of the State’s sinister research facility, the DSD. Apprehended against her will for testing, Wynter becomes the subject of the mysterious Dr. Richter, who is determined to make sense of her condition.

However, Dr. Richter’s intentions are less than noble, and after months of horrifying experimentation, Wynter jumps at the chance to escape her captors. But freedom isn’t what she expected, and as her symptoms worsen, she must make a choice. One that will determine not only her future…

But the fate of the world.

ULTRAXENOPIA is the first book in the Project W. A. R. trilogy, which readers have compared to The Giver, Divergent, and The Hunger Games!

“I would give this 10 stars if I could! It’s got action, suspense, and a smidge of a romance. It’s got twists and turns that you will not see coming.” ★★★★★

“For fans of dystopia, you’ll find the elements that are beloved in every dystopian book. There are elements included in Ultraxenopia that can be found in books like 1984, Divergent, Unwind, and many others and Phipps pulls each of them off in a brilliant way.” ★★★★★

“A truly classic dystopian in that it had the dark totalitarian regime, the bleak atmosphere, and terrifying villains.” ★★★★★

On the cutting edge of humanity, rules are made for one thing.
No, it is not “to be broken.”

Biologist Ash Morgan loves breaking rules, but this is ridiculous. Edge is humanity’s bastion on the frontier of space and science. She plays fast and loose with the Edge’s ultra-strict governing AI, but even she’s willing to admit that maybe there are some laws not meant to be broken.

When a fellow colonist asks for help delivering a child, Ash agrees against her better judgment.

But something’s not right.

The birth will exceed the precise population cap set by the colony AI. Somehow those numbers need to balance.

And the child is born strange. Too strange. What experiments could produce a child like this? Who would do this?

When the mother descends into depression and madness, Ash must decide which rules can be broken, which rules must be obeyed, and which rules will inevitably lead to the colony’s ultimate destruction.

On the cutting edge of humanity, rules are made for one thing: to be followed perfectly with zero deviation.

Always.

Or else.
