An alternative cover edition of this ASIN can be found here. Disappearances at a popular national park... Monsters from another dimension... And Nicole can't use her magic. What could possibly go wrong? Mysterious disappearances at a popular national park force authorities to organize a university-led expedition, and they've invited undergrads to compete to be included. As a talented Arete, Austin is a natural shoo-in. And he's not the only experienced student competing. Nicole struggles a great deal with her powers, but she knows she has what it takes, and she's determined to prove that she can produce Wind magic. With the help of her friends and advice from professors, Nicole pushes the limits of her magical abilities. As the competition heats up, however, she finds out that the trip she’s fighting for may be a one-way ticket...

Note from the author: Praxis Novellas, Katon University Book Two contains three novellas that, while not continuing Nicole and Austin's relationship per se, are integral to the plot line of the entire series (which is why together they're considered to be the second book of the series). As stated above, you can receive Praxis for free by joining my newsletter list. Happy reading! The Focus: When Nicole, a talented cellist, goes to Ohio to sharpen her skills with wind magic, she has no idea her studies are about to collide with terrifying creatures and people from another dimension. Based off one of HP Lovecraft’s popular stories. The Manor: Austin receives a photograph in the mail and quickly discovers something about it isn’t quite right: every time he looks at it, there are changes. And the changes aren’t good. The Angel: Lizzie doesn't know the old whistle she found in a deserted trapper's cabin is possessed. She blows on it, accidentally calling back the spirit of a dead goddess consumed by the desire to snare the person who called her. When the goddess arrives in the form of a statue, the stillness of Lizzie's mountain retreat is destroyed.

Nicole Williams is determined to figure out how to Channel her magical abilities properly. In order to do so, she must travel to Moses Lake, WA, to work under the tutelage of Albert, an elderly man who owns a creepy manor and a cello that actually works for her. While visiting Albert, Nicole learns that a meteor has struck somewhere on his property, spreading a poison that infects the minds of anyone nearby, especially the family that lives closest to it. Hoping for answers, Nicole decides to read the possessed leather book that has called to her for several months. Through reading, she discovers that the meteor is not as random as once thought, and that her purpose for being at Moses Lake is much higher than just learning to Channel with the proper cello. Will Nicole be able to help the family and successfully complete the mission set out for her in the journal? Or will the poison destroy them all, including Nicole and her friends?

Nicole Williams is the sole protector of an elixir that will end a curse on the human race. But while the elixir strengthens her, it also forces her to abandon the love of the person most important to her—her boyfriend, Austin. Determined to prove her loyalty and to distract herself from heartache, Nicole attacks her assignments with zeal, along with her goal to master Wind powers as quickly as possible. While she is getting stronger as an Arete, the group that wants to destroy all magical people is also growing in numbers and strength. Their new world leader is about to be revealed—an individual they believe is powerful enough to bring them victory against Aretes everywhere. In the meantime, Nicole receives a plea for help from an elderly woman she met while studying in Ohio who may have information about the upcoming war. Nicole must now choose to continue her work or abandon everything she’s striven to achieve in the past few months to save the woman. If she chooses to come to Anna Morse’s rescue, she’ll need Austin’s assistance. Will they be able to put aside their feelings and find Nicole’s friend or will they lose control and doom humanity to be forever cursed?

In this, the final installment of the Katon University series, dangers intensify as Nicole and her friends prepare for the arrival of horrifying creatures from another dimension—beasts that seek to bring the demise of earth and all its inhabitants. To protect themselves, Nicole and Austin wear devices that prevent these monsters from detecting them. But in a weak moment, Austin's is destroyed. Nicole seeks restitution by traveling to Romania to obtain an important metal needed to repair his device. While there, she finds that the Tarians have planned something bigger than killing all Aretes, something far more dangerous, with much greater consequences. Will she have time to stop the corrupt Tarians before the evil beings arrive, or will she and those she loves be destroyed by their otherworldy visitors?

Nicole is in a race to find a powerful talisman before an evil being, capable of destroying worlds, finds it first. An ancient enemy has returned, and Nicole Williams and Jacob Clark must team up to stop him. With Jacob's talents and his magical Key of Kilenya, and Nicole's ability to control the elements, they have a lot on their side. But so does Keitus. He has knowledge. He has experience. He has power. And he knows just how to squeeze and manipulate people until they give him what he wants. Will Nicole, Jacob, and their friends figure out what Keitus' plans are before he gains control over earth?

Nicole must confront a dangerous and vile enemy. An enemy she encountered over a year ago. An enemy still haunting her dreams. With the first of four talismans safely in Nicole's control, she and her friends begin their search for the next three. But several things get in their way—an evil device that prevents the usage of magic, vampire birds that render their victims immobile, and Keitus' constant planning and scheming. On top of the traps and obstacles they must get through, Nicole, Austin, and Lizzie find themselves lacking in the magic department. They must strengthen their powers—otherwise, they'll lose traction on the things they've already gained. Will Nicole and her team be ready for the epic showdown with old enemies? Or will they lose the talismans to an evil race they haven't faced in over a year? Find out for yourself by downloading Obscure today!

When faced with the choice, will Nicole desert those who love her, or will she stay loyal through the flames? Nicole and her friends have recently learned that they are much farther behind the evil Keitus than they originally thought. He has nearly reached his goal, and out of desperation, Nicole is forced to study with and learn from an enemy. One she finds herself attracted to, one without scruples, one who doesn't care about the increasing conflict with Keitus. Sanso is willing to break every rule to convince Nicole to abandon her responsibilities, and she is seriously tempted. Will Austin's love for her be enough, or will the rising stress and pressure be too much? Download Enshroud now to find out!

With the lives of everyone she holds dear at stake, can Nicole do what it takes to stop the evil surrounding her? In the ultimate battle between good and evil, Nicole is in a race to stop Keitus before he achieves his plans. If he succeeds, he will crush everyone who has opposed him and enslave Earth and countless other planets. Unfortunately, he is only minutes away from his goal. With so much at stake, Nicole and her friends must approach Helen, a volatile and dangerous spirit who will probably destroy them regardless of whether she gives them what they want. And the chances of her helping them are slim. Fast-paced and epic magical fights, exciting plot twists, and non-stop action and adventure await. So sit down, buckle up, and hold on for the explosive, much-anticipated conclusion to the award-winning and bestselling Mosaic Chronicles.
