In a world where people with magic live hidden away in a forest, 15-year-old Destan must save his tribe from a war with the non-magical people, after accidentally having started it himself in the first place. --- The world has split in two; magicals living in packs, or tribes, doing what they can to survive. Non-magicals, or Inops, in complete ignorance of their powerful counterparts. Destan doesn't fit in with either society. Though his younger sister Julia lives with the Inops and does not have any powers, Destan can bend the atoms of any object to his will. His tribe, however, has made him an outcast for a horrible mistake he made when he was just a little boy. Lonely and desperate, Destan makes another mistake a decade later. By showing himself to Julia and her adoptive family of Inops, he makes himself a target - and by doing so, he makes his tribe a target. The costs pile up higher and higher as the quarrel between the two sides turns into a full-blown war. Can Destan make up for what he's done, before both factions turn on him? Book #1 in the Atrament series. Cover made by the amazing @infinitecovers.

The internationally bestselling, upper YA Fantasy series. Featured in USA Today. Kristia Tostenson prefers Earl Grey to Grey Goose and book clubs to nightclubs. But when she transfers from her one-stoplight Oregon town to Cardiff University in Wales, she falls in love with Ull Myhr. Her new boyfriend isn't exactly what she was expecting. His cashmere sweaters and old world charm mask a warrior who's spent an eternity fighting for his very existence. Ull is an honest-to-goodness Norse god - an immortal assassin fated to die at Ragnarok, the battle destined to destroy Asgard and Earth. On top of being marked for death, Asgardian law prohibits Ull from tying his fate to a mortal. No matter what she feels for Ull, Kristia knows she's the one thing he can never have. With Ragnarok on the horizon and a lunatic haunting her dreams, Kristia has to find a way to convince Ull that breaking the rules is the only way to survive; that defying the order he's sworn to uphold is their only chance to be together. And when someone starts asking the wrong questions, Kristia realizes the crazy visions she's had all her life might be the key to saving their realms... even if they end up costing her her life.
