Shelice Nembhard was born to rule. As the daughter of one of New Kingston's most powerful vampire bloodlines, her future has already been decided: inherit the clan, protect its territories, and someday wear the crown her father has spent centuries preparing for her. But Shelice has never wanted strength, power, or immortal politics. She wants magic. Real magic. The kind that answers with more than instinct and blood. Her twin brother Winston has the opposite problem. Born with their mother's witch abilities instead of the full strength of the vampire bloodline, Winston has spent his entire life feeling incomplete beside his sister. While Shelice moves through the world with unnatural speed and effortless dominance, Winston dreams of power that feels solid in his hands instead of spells that keep him standing behind everyone else. Then they discover something impossible. When their emotions align, their abilities begin to merge. Shelice can finally cast powerful spells. Winston gains the overwhelming physical strength he has always envied. Together, they become something neither vampire nor witch should be capable of becoming. But their gift comes with a dangerous truth. Their connection is rare. Valuable. And in the hidden supernatural world beneath Jamaica, rumors of power spread quickly. As tensions rise between rival factions and whispers of an ancient artifact known as the Twinstone begin surfacing, the twins flee the heavily guarded estate they once believed was their prison. Pursued through the forests, caves, and forgotten corners of Jamaica by creatures out of folklore and enemies tied to their father's past, Shelice and Winston search for the mysterious Weaver, a being rumored capable of rewriting inheritance itself. Rooted in Jamaican folklore and urban fantasy, Thicker Than Magic is a story about identity, family, envy, and the dangerous desire to become someone else, even at the cost of yourself.

The Seventh Crown Earth has always believed it was alone. People wake up, go to work, sit through class, chase promotions, fall in love, and plan for tomorrow without ever questioning the world around them. To everyone else, history is complete. They're wrong. Beyond a hidden veil lies Aetheria-a realm where kingdoms were built on magic, dragons still rule the skies, and forgotten gods left their mark on the land. For centuries, Aetheria and Earth have remained separated by an ancient barrier, keeping their worlds-and their histories-apart. That barrier is beginning to crack. When seventeen-year-old Azriel Hayes survives a chance encounter with a mysterious Rift, he becomes bound to an artifact believed to have vanished long ago: the Seventh Crown. In a single night, the ordinary life he knew disappears. Creatures once dismissed as myths begin hunting him, secret organizations emerge from the shadows, and a conflict older than recorded history pulls him to its center. As Rifts appear across the globe, the line between Earth and Aetheria grows thinner. Monsters pour into modern cities, long-buried secrets come to light, and the truth behind humanity's forgotten past refuses to stay buried. The Seven Crowns were never forged to grant power. They were created to keep something locked away. Now one of them has awakened. Caught between two worlds on the edge of collapse, Azriel must uncover why the Crown chose him before the force imprisoned behind it is set free. The answer lies beyond the Rifts, where the fate of Earth and Aetheria has been waiting for him all along. Some inherit a crown. Azriel was chosen by one.
