Casey is a teenage Californian loner girl. Forced into isolation in the Sierra mountains, she never expects in this present day and age, a wild man and a small double-winged dragon named Spike to appear and take her away. Anywhere is better than the dump of a cabin in the middle of snow country. In haste, Casey hits the road to experience reality as she once knew it, suddenly imbued with an invisible and volatile fabric of magic.
Supported by an unlikely witch, and a narcoleptic necromancer, Casey searches for her place in an uncanny society of what she considers misfits. Spike becomes the ultimate companion as she uncovers an unscrupulous underground world of threatened Shape-shifters, an incredible ecosystem of creatures once deemed myth, and winds her way through intricate layers of the corrupted Magical Fold. The more she learns, the closer she comes to a murderous warlock who is quietly calculating her every move.
But can she learn fast enough to understand and outsmart this dangerous society? What does anybody really actually know about Spike? Join Casey and Spike and unravel the mystery in this modern fantasy thriller.

A Dragon's Legacy
A thousand years ago, before the realms as we know them existed, there was only one land-Ardelia. A world where magic flowed freely, and its inhabitants lived together in an uneasy harmony.

Born into an era of peace, Skye never felt at home. Raised in an orphanage among emotionless scientists, her wild temper and violet eyes set her apart. People avoided her, whispering about her strange appearance, while she was constantly told to suppress her true nature. No matter how hard she tried to blend in, Skye always felt like an outsider-and she hated it.

Rising Powers
(74,890 words) The wind rushed past me as my wings beat against the night sky. I noticed a copse of trees up ahead. I slowed to a stop, talons clutching a low-hanging branch. I looked beyond the trees and a pair of glowing golden eyes met my own. Wolf eyes. My eyes widened in fear as I took off. I dodged the trees in my path, but one branch snapped on my wing. My vision blurred, pain lacing through my wing. I continued to flap my wings, clinging desperately to the notion I would make it out alive. More than one wolf was chasing me, their paws a staccato on the ground. They would catch up. They would devour me. I tried to stay in the air, but the pain was unbearable. I fell to the ground, fluttering down like a dead leaf. I snapped my eyes open. Breathing heavily, I sat up. My room shifted in and out of focus as my eyes adjusted. When I was little, my father always told me that dreams were just my imagination, that people were never chased by wolves, and people certainly could never be birds. Vera Stone is a seventeen-year-old girl who lives in a small Louisiana town by the bayou. Small, boring, where nothing ever happens. Or so she and her friends think. One night the hidden darkness surrounding their town and their lives comes to the surface.
