Burnt Devotion

2015

Burnt Devotion, Book 5 in the Imdalind Series. Dawn of Ash - the previously announced book five has now been moved to book 6. Yes! An extra book. If you have been waiting for the next installment of The Imdalind Series this is the book you have been waiting for! \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ It was supposed to be the final battle, the one to end Edmund’s line, his life, and free the magic Edmund had taken from the world. That was how it was foreseen. The end of the battle that has raged for centuries, unbeknownst to the mortals around them, the battle that would end with Joclyn’s death. But it did neither. The battle still reigns, Joclyn still lives, and the sight that was given eight hundred years ago is broken. And it’s not the only one. Sights that were once thought infallible have become nothing more than scattered glass, with broken pieces shattering into incorrect visages. Sain clings to the magic that he knows to be true, but there is something else, something that he is not saying. And what he does say is no longer adding up. Something is wrong. Ilyan and his people move through the caves, following a sight they hope to be correct, fleeing a battle that should have been the end while the battle within each of them grows with each step. Ryland fights the monsters his father has infected him with. Wynifred fights the confusion of who she is. Dramin fights to live. Prague may not survive this battle, it may be ripped to shreds… or burned to ashes.

Brand of Betrayal

2019

What’s worse than a city under siege? An irritating father on a power trip. It’s like the punchline to the worst childhood ever. I may have spent my entire life wishing I could have my father back, but now that he’s here he can just head right back to where he came from. He just won’t shut up about broken sights and Drak traditions and things that I can’t possibly understand. Mostly because he refused to tell me about them. Thank god, Ilyan thinks he’s as much of a quack as I do. Well maybe not a quack, but he isn’t the leader of the Sain fan club. That role belongs to Ryland. Ugh. Let’s just hope too many more people don’t fall for his lies or I am going to pop him just like this zit that Edmund has trapped us in. And yes, it’s going to be just as gross. Fall in love with Joclyn and Ilyan in this novella. Added to the series with the 2018 expansion, you wanted more kissing, more action, and betrayal? You got it!

2016

The Internationally Best-Selling Imdalind Series comes to a close in this long awaited heart-pounding conclusion. For centuries the war that has raged within magic has ripped the world apart. Fought between Skȓítek and Trpaslík; killing father and son, and destroying a fragile balance between mortal and magic. For centuries everyone has been awaiting the Silnỳ, searching for the girl who was prophesized. The girl with power strong enough to defeat the evil that plagued the world, and bring the war to an end. For centuries, everyone was wrong. The Silnỳ was not what they had been told, the promises of future distorted by a sight that was tarnished. The evil was not what they had expected, not what they had been fighting against. Instead it was hidden amongst them; plotting, waiting for their time to strike. And it did. With fire and blade the hidden evil took it’s place upon a throne of blood. The evil has shown itself and now only one person can save them all. But with Sights that are no longer infallible and armies that are abandoning their king – it is no longer clear who that person is, or even if they have the courage to stand up to the evil and face their end.
