Magus Saga Prequel

Holy War threatens the very fabric of Romaeda.

Malenine—warrior queen and member of the magickaldra—has fought the might of the church since they burned her lover at the stake for heresy fifteen years ago. Over time, the clergy has grown more powerful, and usurped more of the crown’s authority in an attempt to convert the country to a theocracy.

To save her country and all that she holds dear, Queen Malenine has given her magical service over to the Obsidian Collective, a sect of the magickaldra who honor the dark gods. When the church turns to magic to subdue her quest for victory, it will take the ultimate sacrifice to put them in check for good.

Magus Saga Book One

Kristabelle St. Lucus is an etheralmancer, one who can take the soul of a person and lock them away in the lovely stained glass she designs for the Portamere Cathedral. This is her punishment for daring to be born with what the clerics call “the witching talent.” The Cathedral has become a prison for those who have defied the power-hungry clerics. It is not something she wants to do, but something she must do to save her family from destruction. It is either that or watch them burn for passing an unholy legacy on to their offspring.

Darius Castillo is a magi–a member of the scared order who works directly for the Magus, the rightful head of the church. Darius has watched in wonder as Kristabelle uses her powers. Only he knows of her torture and pain at having to perform this horrific duty for the sake of her family. Only Darius sees the tears she believes she shows no one. Under the guise of an acolyte, he is on a mission to discover the extent of the clerics’ treachery. Nothing the clerics do can stop the burning passion he feels for the artist or the need to save her and the souls she’s been forced to entrap.

Flicker – Time Captives Book 1

Speaking in front of a room full of New York City dignitaries is not Breelyn Grace’s idea of a good time–a full scale dental extraction or spinal surgery without anathesia would be less traumatic. So when she starts to experience spotty vision, increased heart rate, and respirations, she believes it’s only a bad case of stage fright…

…until she disappears.

And awakes to a future she never expected.

Five years before, Detective Jonah Knight was lauded as the Hero of the Bronx, for saving hostages held by Skuttle drug lord, Barto Temple. His reign of terror over the New York-Jersey corridor has left the city a nightmarish bastion of murder and corruption, and Jonah a widower.

Jonah never expected his investigation of a credit union break-in to expose an abduction case. Nor does he quite understand how or why Temple managed to pull Breelyn through time to 2070. However, it is the opportunity Jonah’s waited for–a chance to bring an end to Temple’s tyrannical rule.

Now Jonah and Breelyn must work together to discover her importance to this alien king pin before his men manage to recapture Breelyn and make her the focus of the quantum experiments.
