He stole her heart for the Queen
But now he wants it for himself
Will he sacrifice everything
To unlock the magic of her heart?

A notorious assassin for the Queen of Hearts, Rabb Silverhope has never had trouble making women fall for him so he could steal their hearts for the Queen.

Until he captures Allie’s.

But that’s not her real name.

A blank slate, “Allie” doesn’t remember who she is. She doesn’t know how she arrived in the mystical Land of Wünder. She doesn’t know how to return to her world. Except that she must.

Allie’s blank heart is the special on the Queen’s menu.

But curiouser still, it appears to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of Rabb’s own veiled past.

Can Allie stay immune to Rabb’s charms long enough to find her way home? Can Rabb resist her temptation or will he sacrifice her heart for his own?

An epic adventure blending science fiction and fantasy in a tale of courage, sacrifice, and undying friendship.

A high-tech, futuristic soldier is thrust into battle alongside a magic-using, high-elf priestess in a quest that could mean the salvation or destruction of two galaxies.

Wizard scouts are the elite, deep-recon forces of the Intergalactic Empire, trained to operate light years behind enemy lines with little or no support. While still a first-year student at the Intergalactic Empire’s legendary Wizard Scout Academy, Cadet Richard Shepard excels at the mix of technology and psionic abilities that make wizard scouts the Empire’s most elite soldiers.

When war breaks out with the Crosoian Federation, Richard is sent by an entity known only as ‘the One’ to the magic dimension to help the beautiful elf, Shandria, defeat a demon and its army of undead. Trained at the academy to fight against armored vehicles, phase beams, and attacking starships, Richard quickly finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Regardless, with the fate of two galaxies riding in the balance, he must somehow use his wizard scout skills and the technology of his newly acquired battle suit and prototype computer, Nickelo, to overcome a host of dragons, demons, trolls, zombies, and ghouls.

Can a lone wizard scout cadet prevail with only the aid of his battle computer and the magic of an elf priestess for support? The odds are against him, but Richard is determined to somehow snatch victory from the jaws of defeat or die in the attempt.

Aether is life, love, death, rebirth. But above all else, it is power.

To save the man I love, I have to destroy him.

For years, Dex deceived me. Now I am the deceiver. He was right; I am more powerful with a demon by my side. Only it can never be him. And that terrifies me.

Trapped in the Netherworld, I must find a way to accept Baladon as my mate. Even though I loathe the idea of bonding with him, it’s the only way to save everyone I love. As I learn to navigate this ruthless new world, more of Dex’s lies are revealed. Yet, it’s hard to judge him when I’m a liar too, especially when truth and lies can be so easily twisted.

Staying alive in the Demon King’s court has to be my main focus, especially when Baladon’s agenda remains a mystery. It soon becomes clear that I can’t trust anyone. Coming here alone was the worst decision I’ve ever made, but if I run the consequences won’t just affect me. They will wipe out everyone—in both worlds.

Saving the Aether’s Heart might be my destiny, but it isn’t my only goal. Surviving is.

I am the Angel of Aether. I will not be enslaved by anyone, especially the Demon King.

Devin doesn’t want to get married, but he wants to be a frog even less.

Knight-errant Devin takes a shortcut through the woods, only to be captured by fairy forces. The fairy queen has run out of breathing males to fight for her hand, and Devin, while not ideal fairy stock, is breathing—for now. Telling a vain fairy queen you’d rather not be her one true love is a ticket to life on a lilypad, so the knight agrees to face three challenges to win Queen Agalea’s hand. When a clever servant girl offers to help him navigate the trials in order to stop the constant bloodshed of the courtship ritual, Devin jumps at the chance.

Cat-Elf Sevaine’s only goal in life is to stop Agalea from killing off every male she gets her hands on. When cocky but quick-on-his-feet Devin stumbles into her world, she may finally have a champion who can beat Agalea’s cruel games—if she can resist falling in love with him herself. With Sevaine’s help, Devin balances “flirting” with his “beloved” and overcoming tasks specifically designed to kill him.

But even if he defeats Agalea’s challenges, will happily ever after be possible if he’s fallen for his new partner in survival?

In the far future, a dormant android awakes on a vast starship to find humanity’s last hopes rest with him.

Launched to carry the human species across the galaxy, Starship’s generations-long journey crumbled as machines took everything from their human creators, including life itself. Given a mission by humanity’s last digital remnants, Gamma must traverse Starship’s vast, dangerous bulk in search of a way to preserve Starship’s original purpose.

Yet Gamma isn’t the only intelligent machine on Starship, and some want a very different end as the spacecraft approaches its final destination. As he confronts the mechs that’ve claimed Starship as their own, the key to Gamma’s survival will come not only from his metal fists, but from figuring out why Starship’s humans fell in the first place.

A far-future science fiction action adventure that blends the real and virtual worlds, The Farthest Star kicks off a series that will have you wondering whether our biology or our beliefs make us human.
