In a politically volatile kingdom, Noah is tasked with finding the catalyst, a magical artifact rumored to greatly enhance the potential of the wielder. Joining his efforts are his childhood best friend and an illegitimate prince doing the queen's bidding in exchange for his lover's freedom. It soon becomes clear that many different parties are after the catalyst, though no one seems to know who started this chase or why. In order to survive and save the people he cares about, Noah will have to leave behind everything he thought he knew about magic and adapt to a new reality of unlikely alliances and painful betrayals, high-stakes power struggles, and vengeful entities.

*A Wattpad Featured Story* When a young woman snags Lawrence Croxley from the train station, he soon realizes that being late for work is the least of his problems. She plans to use his access to a major news network's cameras in order to warn the public of a massive syndicate, one that has sinister plans for her and the others like her. This shadowy group will do anything to stop her and Lawrence, throwing everyone into a high-stakes game of chess where checkmate means the end of life as we know it. Fortunately, she has a few technological tricks up her sleeve that might help them cheat the game rules and save us all. As the pair works together, something seems to connect them on a level he doesn't understand--not that he minds a connection with such a pretty girl. But as Lawrence becomes further tangled in this global conspiracy, things like a car chase, getting his best friend captured and a corrupt cop all show him just how in over his head he is. And when the fate of the world is quite literally placed into his hands, he is forced to decide who will live and who will die. ~~~~~ ~ Completed duology of two romantic sci-fi thrillers ~Featured on Wattpad Picks (Sci-Fi Hidden Gems, Dec 2017) ~Highest rank: #16 ~Winner of seventeen awards, including: ~The Wave Awards: winner of Sci-Fi and Project Waves (overall) ~The Ooorahs: co-winner of Superhuman ~Winner of the Cryptic's Choice Award ~The Revolutionary Contest: winner of Kapoww (Action) in season 2
