A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #31 in Fantasy |Book 2 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| Davenport has returned to take over Fantasy and the Riders are dispatched under the command; 'kill or be killed.' It's a fight to the death war; no surrendering and no prisoners. The flags of Legend and Lore have joined, the Demons are rallied, and Smoke is on a mission. Reports have arrived from all over Fantasy. Vampires are being defanged and Fairy Dust collect-ed. But there are no real leads. No definite answer as to who is killing these creatures and no one knows where all the stolen objects are being taken or what they are used for. Taking the well-known name of an assassin and thief; Sinder Zane, Smoke goes undercover to find out the truth behind all the bad stuff going on in the background of the real battle. What she finds, though, could change everything. When Cai is taken, Smoke will do anything and everything to get him back, even betray her own knowledge of what is right. She's not a leader. She's not a queen. She's just a girl wanting a normal life and everyone who underestimates that could find themselves at the sharp point of her sword. Starting in Fairy Tale, kidnapped to Graceland, Smoke travels to Urban, and then to the heart of Red Peak, where the story of Fantasy could very well end. Smoke and Cai are back to test the boundaries of not just their bond to each other, but also Smoke's with her friends and family; to her country. During a challenging time and broken relationships; friendships will be tested and lives lost in the second book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy.

A MODERN MEDIEVAL FANTASY #3 in Fantasy |Book 1 of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy| When darkness arises and the world of Fantasy is in danger of being destroyed, the Dragon Riders are the first to show up. Fire and fang, sword and shaft, meet the enemy head on and the wars don't end until the enemy is disbanded. It's not a pretty business, but it must be done to secure the lives of every creature within Fantasy. There are two Rider schools - over thousands of Riders and dragons - and Smoke Green is one of them, no matter how much she dislikes the idea and the heights. Her fate has been chosen, even if she doesn't want it. With a vacant father, a mother who has too many secrets, four older sisters, an older brother, and a three minute older, annoying twin brother, Smoke isn't expected to be much more than a hometown girl of Folklore; who will get a boring desk job and never leave home. But then the Sage of the Burrows proclaims her a Dragon Rider and a Fifth Daughter and Smoke's life changes stories - literally. Moving from Folklore to Legend, Smoke is taught that fears can be conquered and villains do have a hunger for power. She also learns she might just have the power this villain is after. She makes friends: Something she didn't know she could do, she finds her dragon: Someone she didn't know even existed, and she learns her past: Something she didn't know was so complicated. But when rebellions begin to break out across the globe; the world of Fantasy is once again put in danger and the Dragon Riders might not be able to save their home this time around. Especially, when the enemy is from one of their own royal families; once thought incinerated, and his accomplice might just be Smoke's long thought dead father. In this first book of the Fifth Daughter Trilogy, J.J. wants you to forget everything you think you know of mythology and open your mind to a new kind of fantasy.

"It's unlike any paranormal book I've read--very smart, very fresh, and very addictive, and very still in my mind." –And Anything Bookish In 1692, when witch trials gripped the community of Salem, Massachusetts, twenty-six children were accused as witches, exiled, and left for dead. Fourteen of them survived. The Survivors is the first installment of the tantalizing tales of the fourteen ill-fated Survivors and their descendants, who have been content in hiding for over three centuries. Isolated on a Montana mountainside, only Sadie, the rogue daughter, dares to abandon the family’s sacred hiding place. But no matter how far Sadie runs, something always pulls her back. On a muggy summer night in Tennessee, she witnesses a shocking scene that will change her life forever. It is the first in a sequence of events that will drag her from the human world she’s sought to belong to for over a century and send her back to her Puritanical family. Sadie is thrown toward an uncertain future filled with cunning witches, mysterious nosferatu shape-shifters, dangerous eretica and vieczy vampires, millennia-old mythology, and the search for her own mortality. After all… HOW DO YOU KILL A SURVIVOR? The Survivors will steal your heart and invade your mind. Fall into the pages of Sadie’s life, a world so frighteningly similar to your own, you’ll find yourself wanting to go to the Montana mountains to find the Survivors for yourself. And it is only the beginning. "The way Ms. Havard has taken the history of the Salem witches and made it her own is truly fascinating... great debut from a talented writer." –DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted “[THE SURVIVORS is a…] promising debut and an incredibly unique paranormal romance. Unputdownable, engaging, realistic and dark..." –Fragments of Life Review Blog Can't wait to read the whole story? THE SURVIVORS is available for purchase now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kindle, the Apple iBookstore, and

Four empires united by a powerful authority known as the "Magic Council", has reigned over the four corners of the earth for nearly a century. East, West, North, and South. These four empires are formally known as... "The Compass of Casters." The Compass controls the rotation of the earth and keeps peace and balance throughout the world. However, there's one empire that is feared greatly by both humans and casters, an empire that reigns over the eastern lands titled, "The Sacrificial Casters" or "Saki's". When a bloodline of this empire obtains the title of full-fledged Caster; normally called True-Caster, they've exceeded the boundaries of magic and can use it without the use of "Monarian" language. There is a catch however. In order to obtain the title of True-Caster, a person of equal blood must be slain. Thus, aiming to obtain that title in the Saki Empire has been forbidden by the magic council. Those who had tried to obtain it after the law was set in place, were mercilessly executed. Our story begins with the birth of a baby, one that carries the blood of a Saki and became full-fledged at it's birth. Created by: Dimonlee Moore (@x_caster) Cover by: K. Weikel (@renesmeewolfe)

Mein Name ist Skylar und ich bin 18 Jahre alt, Tochter eines Mafiaboss und lebe mit meiner Familie in Miami. Mag sein dass wir die gefährlichste Mafia in Miami sind, doch nicht von ganz Amerika denn es existieren noch zwei andere. Die Mafia aus Los Angeles und die andere aus New York. Mein Leben besteht daraus in die Schule zu gehen, danach stundenlanges Training und anschließend Aufträge zu erledigen die manchmal bis zum nächsten Morgen dauern. Seit der Auseinandersetzung mit unseren größten Feinden, entstehen täglich mehr Probleme. Die eine Mafia möchte uns ausschalten, wir möchten die andere ausschalten und es geht immer so weiter bis einer von uns das Ziel erreicht hat die einzige Mafia aus Amerika zu sein. Doch was ist wenn man plötzlich eine Nachricht bekommt in der drin steht sich mit einer Mafia in Verbindung zu setzten um die dritte los zu werden. Aus welchem Grund eigentlich? Sich mit einer deiner Feinde zusammen zu setzen bedeutet tägliches treffen, tägliche Streitereien und gezwungene Teamarbeit...Am Anfang dachte ich es würde nie was draus werden, vor allem nicht wenn dir dieser bestimmte Junge ständig deine Laune versaut und ich ihm am liebsten den Kopf raußreißen würde. Doch was alles danach passierte... _________ "Ich werde sicherlich nicht mit dieser Oberzicke allein die Mission erledigen. Da kann jemand anderes für mich einspringen." Genervt lehnte er sich an der Couch zurück und fing an mit einem aus seinem Team zu reden. Ich stand von der gegenüberliegenden Couch auf und trat ihm näher "Solltest du mich noch einmal so nennen dann werde ich meine Waffe nicht nur gegen dein Kopf halten sondern wirklich abdrücken. Ich hab auch keine Lust sowas mit dir abzuziehen aber immerhin muss ja jemand besseres neben einer Niete wie du dabei sein. Wir wollen ja nicht dass du dich verletzt."sagte ich wütend und zugleich mit einem arroganten Ton Bevor wir weiter streiten könnten kam mein Vater dazwischen und ermahnte uns

Ich bin ganz normal. Nichts besonderes. Das weiß jeder, und jeder denkt so. Das dachte ich zu mindestens, aber was ich nicht wusste war, dass der Junge, der mich besonders nennen würde -durch den ich mich besonders fühlen würde- immer in meiner Nähe war. Er war immer da... Ich habe ihn zwar bemerkt, ich wusste auch schon immer das er mich bemerkt hat, jedoch wusste ich nicht das er mich schon -als wir uns das erste mal trafen- für sich beansprucht hat. Im nachhinein wird einem alles klar. Das wir es immer. Es war offensichtlich. Für jeden. Nur für mich nicht. TEXTAUSSCHNITT: >>Lass sie los! Und fass sie nie wieder an, sonst werde ich dich umbringen!<< knurrt Ian den Kerl jetzt an. Mir läuft ein Schauer über den Rücken, wie jedes mal wenn ich seine Stimme höre. Der 'Bad Boy' lässt mich los und ich stürme praktisch in Ian's Arme. Er zittert vor Wut und ich muss beruhigend auf ihn einreden damit er nicht auf den Idioten losgeht. Was ich zu meiner eigenen Überraschung sogar schaffe. Ich entferne mich langsam von Ian, während er mich nur sehr langsam und wieder willig los lässt. Enthält Sexuelle Handlungen #7 in Werwolf
