A prequel novella offering a deeper look at the world of the Baine Chronicles. Life as a shifter-mage hybrid has always been tough for Sunaya Baine. Ostracized from her clan and forced to hide her forbidden abilities, she’s never fit in. So when she’s offered a position at the Enforcers Guild, Solantha’s crime-fighting organization, she jumps at the chance to prove her worth. But when Sunaya swaggers onto her first day at the job, the last thing she expects it to be partnered up with a spoiled rich girl. Annia is a Lone Wolf enforcer—one who doesn’t play well with others. The two of them will have to play ball though, because a little girl has gone missing, and if they don’t find her soon, she might just fall prey to Solantha’s dark underbelly of magic and crime.

In the city of Solantha, mages rule absolute, with shifters considered second-class citizens and humans something in between. No one outside the mage families are allowed to have magic, and anyone born with it must agree to have it stripped from them to avoid execution. Sunaya Baine, a shifter-mage hybrid, has managed to keep her unruly magic under wraps for the last twenty-four years. But while chasing down a shifter-hunting serial killer, she accidentally loses control of her magic in front of witnesses, drawing the attention of the dangerous and enigmatic Chief Mage. Locked up in the Chief Mage’s castle and reduced to little more than a lab rat, Sunaya resists his attempts to analyze and control her at every turn. But she soon realizes that to regain her freedom and catch the killer, she must overcome her hatred of mages and win the most powerful mage in the city to her side.

With the silver murders solved and her training as a mage underway, Sunaya figured her life would get easier. But between the Chief Mage's packed schedule and the grunt work demanded of her as an apprentice mage, magic lessons are few and far between. Worse, her apprenticeship leaves little time for her job as an Enforcer, and without bounties Sunaya’s money pouch is drying up—fast. Even so, when Shiftertown Inspector Boon Lakin asks for Sunaya’s help digging deeper into the murder of a fellow Enforcer, Sunaya has no trouble making room in her life to help him. The trail leads them to a series of crimes victimizing shifters for the entertainment of vicious humans. Sunaya and her friends race to identify the perpetrators and free the survivors, and the stakes are heightened when she discovers one of the victims has a connection to her. But if Sunaya is not careful, she may end up a very dead shifter herself...

With the sudden disappearance of Iannis, the Chief Mage, Solantha has erupted into pandemonium. Citizens are rioting in the streets, the Mages Guild is on a misguided warpath, and shifters and humans are fleeing the city in droves. Ridden with guilt, Sunaya defies the Mages Guild and goes off in search of Iannis, trekking into dangerous, uncivilized territory to try and make things right. But Sunaya's relationship with Iannis isn't the only thing at stake—if she doesn't find him soon, the Resistance might just succeed in plunging the Northia Federation into a devastating and bloody civil war.

With the rebellion now in full swing, shifter-mage hybrid Sunaya Baine has no time for distractions. She must find out the true identity of the Benefactor and pull the plug on the Resistance's funding before they succeed in their grand plans for genocide and destruction. But the heat is upon Sunaya now, and it demands to be sated. And since the Resistance has marked her for death, she can no longer walk freely amongst the very people she is trying to save. Death, danger, and desire hem Sunaya in on all sides, and with her friends caught up in their own problems, she cannot truly count on anyone except herself. Does Sunaya have what it takes to wrangle her unruly shifter instincts and embrace her heritage as a mage once and for all? Or will she succumb to the forces around her, and finally lose her way?

For most women, being newly engaged to the love of your life is a time of celebration. But Sunaya’s happiness is overshadowed by loss. Her friends have not returned from their quest to bring back Noria, and though the Resistance has been beaten back, they are far from vanquished. When the Minister sends Sunaya and Iannis to destroy an important Resistance stronghold, Sunaya is torn between the desire to help her friends and defend her country. But soon she finds that the two are not as unrelated as she imagined . . . and in order to accomplish both, she must put her trust in a man who has betrayed her.

If Sunaya and Iannis thought there would be time to rest after returning from their last mission, they are sorely mistaken. The Minister sends them to face off with yet more dangerous enemies—this time in a lawless port in remote Garai, where pirates and slavers thrive, and everyone is fair game. To hide their undercover mission, Sunaya and Iannis travel to Garai as official guests to a state funeral. But Sunaya’s luck runs out when she finds out her father is on the guest list, and worse, runs straight into him and his family. For now, her deadly secret is safe. But once they discover her true identity, they may not be willing to suffer her alive...

The seventh book in this action-packed, wildly original fantasy series by New York Times Bestselling Author Jasmine Walt. Home from their travels at last, Sunaya and Iannis are confronted with a threat against which even their strongest magic is largely helpless. The very ground under their city is becoming increasingly unstable, and there are disturbing predictions of an impending quake the likes Solantha hasn't seen in centuries. While their hands are full preparing for disaster, Iannis' most dangerous rival returns to Solantha, intent on finding anything he can use against Iannis. It isn't long before Fenris too is in his crosshairs, his dangerous secret perilously close to being exposed. Sunaya is fiercely determined to protect both her friend, and the man she loves, but will her efforts be enough? With old and new enemies as well as the might of nature ranged against her, one false step or indiscreet word can spell doom for all three of them...

A novella exploring the origins of Fenris, one of the most beloved characters from the Baine Chronicles. Lord Polar ar’Tollis has everything he wants. Wealth, power, respect, beautiful women eager to marry him—there is very little the Chief Mage of Nebara lacks in his life. Except, perhaps, compassion. Mages are taught from an early age to rein in their emotions, that they are superior to humans and shifters, and that they must rule with a firm, unyielding hand. But when an execution order for a little girl crosses Lord Polar’s desk, his entire world view is called into question. Especially when he realizes the depth of corruption within his own office. Saving the life of an innocent child should not be a hard choice. But if Polar helps her, his own life will be at risk. And with enemies lurking in the shadows, waiting for him to fall, he cannot afford a single misstep… Scroll up and grab your copy today!

What happened to Fenris after he fled Solantha? Find out in this epic new trilogy following the events of Scorched by Magic from the Baine Chronicles… Fenris is no stranger to picking up the pieces of his life and starting over. Three years ago, he was forced to flee his life as Chief Mage of Nebara, and undergo a magical procedure that changed him into a shifter and forever altered the course of his future. But even though adjusting to life as a shifter was hard, Fenris had friends in Solantha. This time, to save his friends from being caught up in his own troubles, he's fled to Abbsville, a small human town with less than one-thousand people. And not a single ally to rely on. Or so he thinks. Not long after he arrives in town, Fenris finds himself entangled with Mina—a beautiful veterinarian with a heart of gold, and secrets lurking behind her gentle smile. Fenris knows he should stay away, but he has never been able to turn away when an innocent is in trouble. And it doesn't take him very long to realize that Mina is in a whole world of it. If Fenris and Mina want to keep their secrets intact, they are going to have to learn to trust each other. But trust is a hard thing to give, especially when you’ve spent your entire life running… Don't miss the first book in this epic tale. Scroll up and grab your copy today! IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a spinoff series following the events of SCORCHED BY MAGIC, Book 7 in the Baine Chronicles series. While you are not required to have read the previous series to enjoy this one, it is highly recommended that you do. Unlike the Baine Chronicles, which is written from Sunaya's POV, this spinoff is written in dual first person POV—in other words, from the viewpoints of both Fenris and Mina. Sunaya's series contains foul language, violence, and some adult situations, whereas Fenris' story has tamer language but much more romance.

Fenris and Mia's story continues in the second book of this Baine Chronicles spinoff trilogy... Now that Fenris and Mina have finally admitted their feelings for each other, for the first time, they both face something they’d thought impossible—settling down with someone who accepts and loves them for who they are. But the future is not so certain, particularly when Mina gets a letter in the mail that her inheritance is about to be forfeit. Suddenly, she must confront the shadows of her own past, or lose the inheritance her loving grandmother has left behind to the abusive family members that drove her away in the first place. Even with Fenris at her side to advise and protect her, wresting Mina’s family fortune back from greedy relatives proves more difficult than expected. Someone is determined to deny Mina’s rights, at any cost. And when Fenris meets an unexpected enemy from his past, things go from difficult to downright dangerous…

Fenris and Mina's story concludes in the final book of this Baine Chronicles spinoff trilogy! Alerted that Sunaya and Iannis' wedding may be the target of a Resistance plot, Mina and Fenris travel to Solantha despite the very real possibility that Fenris could be recognized and thrown into prison should any of his enemies spot him. Preventing a tragedy is well worth the risk, but their urgent quest is complicated by the mysterious absence of the bride and groom, who have disappeared very suddenly without leaving any clue as to where they were headed. In a city still recovering from last year's terrible quake, Mina and Fenris search for clues to an elusive, but deadly, conspiracy. Old and new friends, unexpected relatives, and dangerous enemies converge upon Solantha in the heat of high summer, and amongst them is Garrett Toring, the Federal Director of Security. With Fenris' mortal enemy sniffing around for potential threats, he must be more careful than ever to remain undetected. But time is running out...and Fenris and Mina may have to look in unexpected places for help if they are to win the day and make sure their friends make it to the altar safe and sound.

Join Sunaya one last time for this final installment in the Baine Chronicles series... Even as Sunaya's fairy-tale romance with her handsome, powerful Chief Mage is celebrated in the media, all Sunaya wants is to get past the endless duties and social engagements of her new role, and spend a bit of private time with Iannis. Doing her best to ignore the many naysayers poo-pooing their match, she counts down the days of these last stressful weeks before the wedding and much-needed honeymoon. But as it turns out, dealing with snooty mages and uppity politicians are the least of Sunaya's troubles. For Sunaya and Iannis have failed to reckon with an ancient and powerful enemy, who does not want their union to take place, and will go to any lengths to separate them—including murder. Torn from her friends and family, faced with harrowing dangers with no one to call to for help, Sunaya must fight for her love and happiness against overwhelming odds. Whether or not Sunaya survives to see her wedding day rests entirely on her overburdened shoulders. And despite being ill-prepared for the challenges ahead, Sunaya has every intention of making her latest enemy regret their attempt to keep her from the man she loves most in the world.

Enforcer Annia Melcott is no stranger to adversity. A damned good investigator and a loyal friend, she's fought rebels and terrorists, taken down dangerous criminal gangs, and risked herself time and again for the sake of her city. But when Annia's life goes up in smoke, she decides she's had enough. Hoping to lose herself in an adventure or two, she travels to the Southern continent for a much-needed respite. The first mission she snags is simple enough—escort two mage children and their guardian back to their ancestral home, and make sure they don't get killed or kidnapped by bandits. But while Southia's verdant lands are beautiful and compelling, they are also rife with ancient, wild magic that the world has forgotten. Evil shamans, powerful goddesses, and vengeful ghosts lurk in unexpected places, and if Annia isn't careful, she might very well become their next victim... NOTE: This is a backstory novella that takes place concurrent to the events in Taken by Magic. It is also a prequel to Tempted by Magic, Book One in the brand-new Mischief and Magic series, coming Spring 2020!

She vowed to serve and protect. But her forbidden magic could push her to the wrong side of the law… Enforcer Annia Melcott should be dead. The only reason she made it back to Solantha in one piece is because of the deal she made with the spirit of an ancient, powerful shaman. Ready to return to her normal life of fighting crime, there’s only one problem: magic is illegal, and the new powers churning inside her are begging to be used. If Annia wants to reclaim her place as one of the city’s top enforcers and keep herself out of prison, she’ll have to learn to hide her magic. But when Annia finds herself neck deep in a case with a rising body count, she’s going to have to choose between sacrificing the innocent to protect her secret, or heading down a path that could get her locked up for life… Tempted by Magic is the first book in the kick-ass Mischief and Magic urban fantasy series, a standalone spin-off from the bestselling Baine Chronicles series.
