This is the saga of Penthesilea--Queen of the Amazons. What secret pact did she make so many thousand years ago for women which only now is coming true? This new novel features the ancient Amazon culture--once thought only to be a myth. Yet out of the mists of time evidence emerges that this dynamic society of all females-did in fact exist. So powerful was their commitment to the nature and independence of women, that their queen-the wise and agile Penthesilea, using a secret covenant shared by later powerful women-travels across time to fulfill a dynamic wish. Amid this historical backdrop Daniela Collins, a young woman living in San Francisco, becomes embroiled in an astounding discovery which unlocks this compact as it begins to unfold internationally. The ancient Amazon queen's legacy becomes irreversibly tied to a movement where the emancipation and betterment of all females is shockingly put into motion. . . Be prepared to be entertained and enlightened. To secure an e-book of this 1st in the "Penthesilea's Wish" trilogy, go here: https://www.amazon.com/author/califia.montalvo

The king is dead. And those that did it are literally getting away with murder. Thanks in part to framing two innocent men: one a former and trusted general of the late King, and the other his naive, not-so-worldly son, the prince. Together, they must join forces to track down those who actually did the foul deed, bring them to justice, and clear both their names. But, as with all things that sound so simple, they rarely, if ever, are. When a former associate of the general turns up, making an offer they can't refuse, these two mismatched companions are sent down a path to new adventures that neither of them ever asked to be a part of. And in the process, they will give rise to a new legend: the legend of The Inglorious Brotherhood. **Episode 1 COMPLETED 19.5k words** **Episode 2 COMPLETED 25k words** **Episode 3 in Contemplation** **Episode 4 Being Dreamt Up** Total: 39k words (ongoing) ⭐Awards⭐ 1st Place: 🥇Monthly Sunflower Awards (Sept 2019) 🥇Creativity Awards (2019) 🥇Creative Awards (2019) 🥇Platinum Awards (2020) 🥇 Aesthete Awards (2020) 🥇 The Wolf Awards (2020) 2nd Place: 🥈Rainbow Awards (2019) 🥈The Witchcraft Awards (2019)

[complete] "A human, a wulver, and a fairy walk into a witch's hut." It was like the start of a bad joke. Fleeing from her home in the States after the death of her only family member, Atrium McKenna comes to Gargunnock, Scotland to mourn the death of her uncle. She meets up with a group of merry men led by the charming Callum who takes a downtrodden Atrium under his wing. Their unlikely friendship forges the way into a world that until now, she only thought existed in fairy-tales. An apparition of a beautifully androgynous woman leaves her with more questions than answers on the legitimacy of her sanity and the security of her heart. While her uncle leaves behind secrets that make her ask one question: who was she? With a target on her head, Atrium struggles to protect herself and come to terms with the new world they have thrust her into. There's no turning back and dark magic is laying siege to those she cares about. Would she have time to understand and come to terms with it before it's too late? **This is the unedited first copy of Chasing Fairies.

I invite everyone to read my dark fantasy novella "The Guardsman and the Witch". This story will tell you about adventures of two opposite people - a noble guardsman whose life changed in one moment after he got cursed with dark magic and a cruel witch searching for power whom fate bonded together in search of artifacts of the past. Together they head north which is full of different and dangerous creatures and places, where they get to know the story of the world and face the witch's folk who have special abilities called the colorless magic and were hunted and killed for centuries by the present king and his predecessors that made them angry on everyone except themselves and turned them into monsters. Raime of his kindness wants to change it while Lizzy cares not about anything except herself. If you like fantasy, dark fantasy or fantasy-horror, I think this book will be a good addition to your library.
