A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #31 in Fantasy |Book 2 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| Davenport has returned to take over Fantasy and the Riders are dispatched under the command; 'kill or be killed.' It's a fight to the death war; no surrendering and no prisoners. The flags of Legend and Lore have joined, the Demons are rallied, and Smoke is on a mission. Reports have arrived from all over Fantasy. Vampires are being defanged and Fairy Dust collect-ed. But there are no real leads. No definite answer as to who is killing these creatures and no one knows where all the stolen objects are being taken or what they are used for. Taking the well-known name of an assassin and thief; Sinder Zane, Smoke goes undercover to find out the truth behind all the bad stuff going on in the background of the real battle. What she finds, though, could change everything. When Cai is taken, Smoke will do anything and everything to get him back, even betray her own knowledge of what is right. She's not a leader. She's not a queen. She's just a girl wanting a normal life and everyone who underestimates that could find themselves at the sharp point of her sword. Starting in Fairy Tale, kidnapped to Graceland, Smoke travels to Urban, and then to the heart of Red Peak, where the story of Fantasy could very well end. Smoke and Cai are back to test the boundaries of not just their bond to each other, but also Smoke's with her friends and family; to her country. During a challenging time and broken relationships; friendships will be tested and lives lost in the second book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy.

A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.

Nobody knows that Evie, not her husband, is the real mastermind behind his genius inventions. When Evie's husband is brutally murdered, she is forced to seek out a new partner through whom to sell her creations. Desperation leads her to seek out the earl, a man her late husband despised and returned the sentiment. Though he neither likes nor trusts her, he can't help but feel that her husband's murder is more than it seems. And when Evie's name is added to the suspect list, he has to intervene. Striking a reluctant partnership, Evie and the earl search for the man--or woman--who killed her husband, and uncover a much larger threat--one that threatens all of England.
