"Sometimes I wonder what my mother would say if I ever told her where I was or what I was doing. I was never proud of it. Stealing things was never something I ever wanted to do, but I'm forced to. She always told me I was like the rain: quiet and silent, yet lovely and inviting. I never really understood what my mother meant by that. It wasn't until recently that it dawned on me. The rain doesn't particularly bother me. It never has. I find it more soothing than annoying, but perhaps that's because just like me, you only remember it exists when it's there." -Maeve (This story is best experienced blind. Description is kept vague about plot for the benefit of the reader. See reviews or introduction page if you are in need of more information. Reading the introductory is advised.)

(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)

Man has walked the land for a millenia and alongside them stood the Elements of the Universe. Each person is born blessed by one of the spirits presiding over these elements granting them dominion of these powers. The Zephyr clan has long prided itself in the fact that it has produced members in all elemental factions, a feat unseen by any other family which saw primarily one element per clan. Xyder Zephyr lived a normal childhood, but when the time of his coming of age approaches and he is unable to procure nor display ability over an element, he is shunned by the current leader, his own grandfather, and his position as heir to the head of the clan is siezed and offered up to he whom can prove himself worthy in a tournament which would determine the future of the Zephyr name. Without the ability to wield any power, all seems hopeless for Xyder whom desperately seeks to regain his rightful place; that is, until the truth behind his disability comes forth. Wrapped by the shrouds of conflict; caught between the wrath of the Elemental Clans and unshakable Gods; trapped by love and betrayal; Xyder must unearth the secrets to his past and the world if it is to be saved from the demise of its most troublesome race: Humans. *** Highest Rankings: #6 in Fantasy #7 in ScienceFiction #8 in Adventure #13 in Action #10 in Mystery *** New Chapters Every Tuesday!

"Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page....Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (regarding Rise of the Dragons) From #1 Bestselling author Morgan Rice comes a sweeping new fantasy series. 17 year old Ceres, a beautiful, poor girl in the Empire city of Delos, lives the harsh and unforgiving life of a commoner. By day she delivers her father's forged weapons to the palace training grounds, and by night she secretly trains with them, yearning to be a warrior in a land where girls are forbidden to fight. With her pending sale to slavehood, she is desperate. 18 year old Prince Thanos despises everything his royal family stands for. He abhors their harsh treatment of the masses, especially the brutal competition-The Killings-that lies at the heart of the city. He yearns to break free from the restraints of his upbringing, yet he, a fine warrior, sees no way out. When Ceres stuns the court with her hidden powers, she finds herself wrongfully imprisoned, doomed to an even worse life than she could imagine. Thanos, smitten, must choose if he will risk it all for her. Yet, thrust into a world of duplicity and deadly secrets, Ceres quickly learns there are those who rule, and those who are their pawns. And that sometimes, being chosen is the worst that can happen. SLAVE, WARRIOR, QUEEN tells an epic tale of tragic love, vengeance, betrayal, ambition, and destiny. Filled with unforgettable characters and heart-pounding action, it transports us into a world we will never forget, and makes us fall in love with fantasy all over again. Book #2 in OF CROWNS AND GLORY is also now available!
