#1

The Siren

2014

Two boys tied to her irrevocably. One offers life disguised as death; the other leads to death with unfathomable love. Her choice decides whether the world turns or ends. Lucienne Lam, born to rule as the last of the Sirens, is running out of time. If she fails to find the TimeDust, an ancient power, her enemies will have their wish—her head on a spike. And she’ll never know the love promised by Vladimir, a fierce warrior of the Czech royal bloodline. Except Ashburn, a genius ‘farm boy,’ has found the TimeDust first, and its power binds Lucienne to him. She must convince him to sever this forced bond so she can return to her first love. But breaking the link seems insurmountable when the TimeDust launches its own ominous agenda and the two boys prepare to duel to the death over her.

The Prince

2014

"If you are looking for a sci-fi adventure with cutting edge battles, sophisticated heroes and villains, lost ancient powers, and an impossible love interest that can only end in disaster, look no further." The Sealers have activated an ancient weapon known as Nexus Tear. Lucienne Lam, born to rule as the last of the Sirens, must destroy it before it kills her. But Prince Vladimir, her first love and strongest ally, has joined forces with her enemies over the one kiss she shared with Ashburn Fury—the kiss that is denied to him by the Siren curse.

The Red Queen

2015

Some love dies. Some never does. After Forbidden Glory brings Lucienne back from death’s door, she wanders between sanity and insanity. And instead of killing each other, Ashburn and Prince Vladimir must put their differences aside to save her. But one of them has to make a sacrifice. As the nation of Sphinxes is born, the Sealers rise again. When their multinational army arrives at Sphinxes’ door with an ancient weapon that instantly sets Sphinxes ablaze, Lucienne summons Forbidden Glory one last time to protect her people from extinction.
#4

The Immortals

2019

This final installment will be told from Ashburn's perspective. It can be read as a standalone book. Lucienne and Vladmir's story is nearly concluded in The Red Queen. A new nation has risen. Sphinxes and its Siren Queen will lead the world in a fight against a new kind of danger. The Exile, the first residents of Earth and the most deadly predator in the universe, is returning. They’ll use the oldest weapon, the time element, to turn us into dust. We once had a weapon that could drive them into the distant corners of the galaxy, but modern humans don’t know what that weapon is. They’ll wipe us out if we can’t find it before time runs out. And their immortal queen, who is already among us, will do everything in her power to stop us from getting that weapon.
