Earth and the Eight realms are cut adrift from the network of realities and worlds that make up the expansive Universe, though time will tell if it is enough to stop the World Eater from getting what it wants from Lucifer. Only a few know the truth about what has happened and they struggle to maintain the secret long enough to make a difference in the battle to come. Life has continued, revolving around Lucifer's coffee shop and its menagerie of patrons and the efforts of the Council to keep Earth balanced between light and dark. The only thing reliable in this town is that Sinfully Delicious will be open and that eventually there may be a batch of sticky buns for eager patrons. There will be war. There will be love. There will be sacrifice. There will be loss. But first stop by for a latte, avoid the scones and try not to feed the demons any Nymph Blood. Also, any tips on how to start up a supernatural rodeo would be greatly appreciated. #stickybunsforpeace Book Three of the Devil's Deal Series. Cover by @whiskeyjanedoe

Incipience (\in-ˈsi-pē-ən(t)s), noun: the act or process of bringing or being brought into existence. The meteors came without warning. Hundreds of thousands of them came raining down to the Earth, but they did little damage to the planet itself. It's the people that they brought ruin to. Upon impact, the meteors combusted into this fine powder that saturated the planet in its entirety. Within a few weeks, billions grew weak, millions were sick, and hundreds of thousands were dead. That's when they came. These beings from across the stars, the Inovarians, landed on the UN's front lawn with technology capable of fixing the planet within a few weeks. People around the world celebrated until we realized what their help would cost: us. Follow Charlotte-Amalie, a teenager from the USVI, as she feigns assimilation into Inovarian society and races against the clock. She has a year of experimentation to survive through before having to face an ultimatum: be drafted into the military to fight the Inovarians' war or forced into their breeding program. With the help of a covert rebel sec of the military, Charlotte-Amalie may just be able to beat the clock in time to get her and a few of her fellow Earthlings out before the battle begins. Book 1: Chapters 1-12 (Complete, publishing with New Degree Press Winter 2021) Book 2: Ongoing (Update Hiatus to meet publication deadlines for book 1)

On the eve of a marriage arranged to help her climb, a mysterious foreign ruler intrudes the castle walls, a masked leader known only as "The Sovereign."
