Book Description

Mordecai's growing power and success have made him a threat, not just to the gods and their minions, but also to the king of Lothion. An unholy bargain has been struck to bring him to heel and increasingly it seems that victory may not be worth the price, not if the cost is measured in the blood of his family. Wizard, lord, husband, father, and now archmage... no man can balance so many roles without sacrificing something. Will the world be worth saving if it costs him the very reasons he has for living in it?

I thought planning a wedding would be easy, but I was so wrong. “Farrah … There are important matters that we must discuss. Please return home soon.” The Fae part of my heritage demands that I need to get my estranged Fae father’s blessing. I haven’t seen him in years, and I don’t know where in Faerie he is, but if I don’t get his blessing, it will turn into a curse that will eventually poison my upcoming marriage. But Faerie is no place for humans. For some unknown creature is creating havoc in Faerie, killing its citizens—and the chaos is spreading into the human world and my home country, Shonn. The Seelie Court needs to elect a new king or queen. And to get that elusive blessing, the Seelie Court’s interim leader, High Chancellor Lord Chela, has made me his representative in the upcoming Trials to find their new ruler. The hopefuls’ task? Find the creature responsible for the murders around Faerie. Before it finds us. Journey to the Gifted Lands, a fantasy world of seven kingdoms, each known for their own unique power or ability. Heir of Secrets and Spectres is the fifth book in the Kingdom Legacy series set in this magical world. Each book features a new character from one of the kingdoms, with appearances from beloved characters from previous novels.

In 32 hours, the world as we know it will end! The magnetic field of the earth is about to fail because of a series of gigantic solar storms, which come in a 26,000 year cycle. When that happens, solar radiation will cause widespread infertility among all land animals, including us. As the storms begin causing dramatic destruction that could lead to the downfall of our technological civilization, a mysterious clue about the danger appears on an ancient artifact. While the countdown continues, major characters start coming together for the first time, building dark intrigue, ancient prophesy and cutting-edge high-technology into a series of connected events leading to the end of the world – unless it can be stopped. A mysterious consciousness and presence inside the only clue about what is happening may be the only means of preventing the coming disaster. But time is running out and the chaos has already begun. THE EMPTY EGGS OF BURNING LIGHT continues the exciting saga from THE HOLE IN THE MAGIC SHIELD.

Book Description

In 24 hours, the world as we know it will end… A 26,000 year cycle of gigantic solar storms is about to begin. The size and destructive power of these storms will eclipse anything in recorded history by an order of magnitude. The monster magnetic pulses that accompany these massive solar storms have already begun to overwhelm the magnetic field of the Earth; causing it to fall so far in strength, it’s effectively gone in places. Intense radiation and charged particles from the first wave of solar storms have already begun the irreversible destruction of almost all the LEO satellites in orbit. Now the debris is causing dangerous interference with electronic devices on the ground. As the consequences of the first stages of the coming deadly storms begin to create a complex web of intrigue and action, a mysterious and ancient artifact, which is somehow connected to the solar cycles, manages to become more of a threat to the future of mankind than the impending disaster. A high-speed adrenaline filled series of events unfold leading to non-stop action in a race against the clock to save mankind. The Wrath of the Invisible Sword is the sequel to the exciting and action filled, The Empty Eggs of Burning Light. The fourth book in the epic sci-fi Ancients of Earth Series starts at the exact scene the last novel ended. But now there are only 24 hours left before the killer storms arrive to decimate the planet. Events countdown hour-by-hour and minute-by-minute as the action ratchets up in intensity, and the pace will leave you breathless at the end of each chapter. This is an intelligent story that will make you think long after you stop reading with characters that you can’t get out of your mind. The problem will be that you can’t put it down. Every book has been better than the last, and the heart-pounding action in this installment doesn’t stop; it barely slows down. And it all leads up to a cliff-hanger ending that will leave sci-fi readers shocked with their mouths hanging open. Then they’ll start screaming for the next book. ~97k words

Book Description

Journey to the magical world of Erthia in this exciting collection of stories from The Black Witch Chronicles by critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest. THE BLACK WITCH Though Elloren Gardner is the spitting image of her famous grandmother, the last prophesied Black Witch, she is utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else. But as evil looms on the horizon and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, Elloren’s best hope of survival may be among the most unlikely band of misfits…if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to hate and fear. WANDFASTED Twenty years before The Black Witch, Erthia was rent asunder during the devastating Realm War. When Tessla Harrow is driven from her home by the fighting, she discovers a depth of power she never knew she had…and an irresistible draw toward Vale Gardner, the son of the Black Witch who is destined to save their people. LIGHT MAGE Before Elloren Gardner came to possess the White Wand of myth, the Wand was drawn to another bearer: Sagellyn Gaffney, the first female Light Mage born in decades. When Sage discovers that the fastmate her parents chose for her is not the charming young man he appears to be, she is forced to abandon everything she once knew and forge a new path for herself…and find a way to protect the Wand from the dark forces hunting for it. Titles originally published in 2017 and 2018.
