Blood. Elves. And Duels. This is Arcadeax: a mystic land of honor, intrigue, and spellpunk arcana.

A childhood tragedy trapped Remy Keaton in the fey world with nothing but a blade forged by his need for vengeance. He doesn’t remember his human life before that day, but long ago he learned the harsh ways of the seelie and unseelie courts.

When Remy rescues the daughter of a wealthy elven merchant from bandits, he falls madly in love with her. But a kiss from the elf girl would bring him a curse. Not only is love between the fey and the sons of Adam forbidden, but Jaira was promised to another: a capricious elf noble with a murderous reputation, and a spell from King Oberon himself ensures the girl’s virtue.

The only option for Remy is to win a dueling contest which will earn him the kiss he desires, and possibly purchase the respect of the fey kingdom. But when his enemy offers to restore Remy’s lost life, he learns the high cost of either option: abandon the woman he loves to the wickedness of her betrothed, or enter the fight of his life and lose his past forever. And regardless of his decision, Remy must still face the horrors of Cathair Dé’s fighting arena.

Can Remy and his friends escape Cathair Dé alive?

If you like dark fantasy, paranormal, and urban fantasy with elves, magic, and mystery, then you need this book. For fans of Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, and Cassandra Clare.

A demon set Claire’s house on fire… with her still inside!

Inferno monsters aren’t the worst of it. Her archaeologist father is missing, news that comes after the Feds confirm suspicions of a bigfoot serial killer. And of course there are lizard people—and they’ll stop at nothing to capture Claire.

When her father’s long-time friend, an elderly language professor, decodes a primeval text, Claire learns that cultists believe there is magic in her veins. Only her blood has the power to allow those chasing her to breach an inter-dimensional gate that must never be opened and unleash an ageless evil.

Claire’s only hope is to unravel the secrets of a mysterious artifact that can alter reality: The Tesseract. But it’s guarded by ancient protectors, The Wolves of Vangandra.

If the cultist catches her, they’ll end all existence… but Claire can’t run forever. Can she trust the wolf and face this evil head on?

A great match for fans of Cassandra Clare, Sarah J. Maas, Holly Black, or Stephanie Meyer.
