Magic. The word is as foreign to Mieshka Renaud as space travel—and she's much too preoccupied to think about it. As a new refugee, she finds life in metropolitan Lyarne hard to take. The capitol's mage-powered shield may keep the city safe from the war, but Mieshka still flinches at loud noises, freezes during air raids, and runs at the sight of guns. But magic isn't as foreign to her as she thinks, Lyarne has more secrets than she has ever dreamed, and, one by one, the city's mages are disappearing. Time is running out. With the war threatening the shield, are Mieshka's powers enough to save the city, or is it too little, too late?

Short Story. At the vague reasoning of the Fire Mage, Mieshka (ex-apprentice to that same mage) goes into the literal criminal underground of her city in search for a rogue elemental with a crazy past. Things would have gone well, if the crazy in Kitty’s past hadn’t come back to haunt them.

She’s back, and she’s not alone. It's been three months since Mieshka “Meese” Renaud exploded her Fire Element into the sky and burned the capital's shield back into life, and her Element has finally returned. Winter break has been filled with firearms lessons, hand-to-hand training, and clandestine tours through the tunnels of Ryarne's secret underground city. But time is running out. With the war pressing ever closer to her doorstep, Mieshka has other worries—especially when the city's most powerful Mage starts gunning for her blood. Firebird is the second novel in The Elemental Wars, and was previously published as The Mieshka Files. If you like hard-hitting modern fantasy, elemental magic, and complex, well-built worlds, you'll love this series. \\Warning: contains violence and foul language.

It's been six weeks since Allish Statia, former prima ballerina at the Mersetzdeitz Ballet, broke her leg during the last performance of La Sylphide. In that time, she has healed (mostly), relaxed (a lot), and taken advantage of her husband's willingness to order take-out on most weeknights. Then someone broke into her apartment and pointed a gun at her. Using the wind elemental powers few knew she had, she is able to subdue the man. But he is only part of something much bigger—and much more dangerous.

Things are heating up in the city… After last month's confrontation with a dragon, Allish Statia has fallen into an easy routine of rehabilitation and training. With her trusted friend and mentor, she's started learning basic mage spells, elemental control, and the intricacies of mage society. The peace ends when an assassin shows up in her husband's office. With her unique abilities, Allish is able to drive him off—but when footage of the fight leaks, it puts her in the cross-hairs of every powerful mage in the city. Soon, she is running for her life in a world of dark magic, science, and corruption, and it's going to take every ounce of her new powers if she wants to stay alive. Tempest is the second and penultimate novella in La Sylphide, an elemental fantasy series set in modern times.

Bigger city, bigger trouble. After their escape from occupied Ryarne, Mieshka, Aiden, and the rest of their crew can't wait to touch down in Mersetzdeitz. As the de facto world capital, it holds a neutral position in all global conflicts, and its large population of Mages, attack-proof shield, and joint military forces make it impossible to penetrate. The city is safe, secure, and promises to get Mieshka started on the one thing she wants learning to control her Fire Element and the Phoenix along with it. But not all is as it seems. A deadly plot has dethroned the last Council Head, over half the Council is either missing or murdered, and, with attacks hitting the city daily, security is stretched thin. Everyone is on edge. It isn't long before Mieshka is thrown head-long into a race to save the government, the city, her friends, and herself. With the Phoenix burning ever hotter under her skin, and enemies moving fast around her, it'll take every bit of power and cunning her team—joined by the Resistance and a Wind Spirit—can come up with to get out alive. Palace of Glass is the third book in both The Elemental Wars and Fury of the Wind. If you love hard-hitting, elemental magic, addictive characters, and un-put-down-able books, you'll love this—but make sure you read Into the Fire, Firebird, Sylphide, and Tempest first. \\ Contains violence and swearing.
