It's a new year and Gauntlet finalist Codi James is back for round two. With her new position at the top ranked Battlecast Academy and with last year's victor no longer competing, it seems like the fates have aligned to give Codi a clear run at winning the tournament once and for all. Armed with state of the art equipment, a rigorous training schedule and a scholarship fund to let her focus on nothing but the Gauntlet all year round, she has one goal: first place. But this year the game has changed. She's not the plucky underdog anymore. Codi has the weight of expectations on her shoulders, and there are those who view her leap to fame through jealous eyes. This year her battles won't be confined to the arena, and now she has everything to lose. [Sequel to The Gauntlet]

(FREE on Amazon) "The darkest shadows hide beneath the brightest lights." Estra would never forget the night she lay in smoldering ash and watched while everything she loved was consumed by fire. Once a pious young woman living a peaceful life in service to the enlightened, everything changed when her convent was burned down by followers of the profane sorceress Helena the Defiler. Scarred by the events of the horrifying massacre, Estra joined the church as a warrior of the faith where she was tasked with using her newfound abilities to strike down the heretics that plague the world of Eldrin. That once broken woman has grown into a powerful figure of justice, and through her duty, she's found a sense of fulfillment in protecting the innocent. As a holy warrior, Estra is supposed to be seen as a symbol of virtue in the eyes of others, but buried deep within her soul is a forever growing thirst for vengeance against the demons of her past. When she's finally given the assignment of purging those responsible for her suffering, Estra embarks on a journey which reveals that the world isn't as black and white as she'd been led to believe. *** Don't forget to vote, comment, & follow! *** (Please leave a review on the books Amazon and/or Goodreads page) (Exclusive content available at nygeloglesby.wordpress.com)

Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

Who's ever going to think the school's so called 'Good Girls' would be GGA's most prestigious agents? Exactly, nobody because that only happens in books...or that what you're supposed think... GGA is a secret organisation which trains girls to become the best spies the world will never know: secretly taught to study the art of fighting, memorise the schematics of a bomb, quizzed on how to shoot and go on trips to high security illegal establishments: all while pretending to live a normal teenage life. Maya, Natalie and Annabelle are the top students at this organisation and go by the famous name 'Triple Threat'. With each of them being the best at what they do, they are all heavily disappointed when they discover their next mission: to protect some cocky guy who happens to go to their high school. Join them as they weave their way through teen drama and completing their next assignment while staying undercover; it isn't going to be easy with a group of bad boys obliviously relying on them for protection.
