There is a world, very different from ours, where history was woven by mysteries and magic. This world has seen many things, but a new, terrible threat is growing. Fought and held back for centuries, a greater demon has finally managed to expand his control over the land. His power is seeping into the roots of the world, darkening and destroying them, and it's only a matter of time before the equilibrium falls apart. No one is safe, not even the Earth. From both those worlds, seven unknowing people are thrown into the fight. They only aim to survive and protect their loved ones, which proves to be rather difficult as they are hunted by the demons and a rogue King. However, as they grow and learn to know, not only their world but themselves, it becomes apparent that they are different from anybody else - and mostly from one another. It seems they are the last resort this land has to fight what is killing it. They are fated to shine, but are their powers enough to save their worlds? This the story of their journey, of who they meet and who they become. This is their story.

Samantha wishes she were someone else. Anastasia, to be exact. Anastasia doesn't sit in the corner and read because she's too shy to talk to anyone. She doesn't keep trying and failing. Anastasia slays dragons. Of course, Anastasia is only a character in Samantha's story. That's what Sam does, she writes. She writes to keep the monsters at bay. She creates new worlds to escape into. And she writes to block out the cranky ramblings of her jilted father, who refuses to acknowledge the woman that ran out on them years ago. But Samantha finds herself thrown into a not so magical adventure when she discovers her long lost mother has been in town all along. She has questions that need answering, and a few arrow- accusations... she'd like to sling. But there are obstacles to storming the castle, her father for one. Either Samantha makes this her happily ever after, or it all ends in tears... Either way, the story is about to change.

*completed*The Jotun have been fighting amongst themselves for centuries. But now Valka, a young servant from the ice palace, is about to discover a new and terrible enemy has arisen. Note: FLOOD is a stand-alone book set in the Jotun world. It is not book 2 of the Frost series (that will be published by Patchwork Press later this year). Cover art by @SeventhStar

Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.
