Perry Arval isn't what anyone would call unskilled. After all, he's a magician. He can manipulate arts most could never dream of, like going from his home in Ireland to the other side of the world in seconds. But it's never been enough. The only thing he's interested in is summoning, but, thanks to his halfling spirit, he can't do it without risking possession. Not that the strict law that keeps people like him away from sorcery stopped him from pursuing it anyway.

With a fire demon fused to his soul and a red flag sticking out of his uniquely strong spirit, things take a turn for the worse-namely when a dark and powerful demon slips into his life. Now that this angry spirit has a hold on him and a target painted on the society of magicians he calls home, everyone he knows is in danger. When his father goes missing, Perry must seek the aid of someone he never even knew existed: his twin sister.

Together for the first time in sixteen years, Perry and his sister Bronte are thrown into an adventure that spans from New York City to the brink of the demon realm in order to save their parents and put an end to a thousand-year-old vendetta.

Seventeen-year-old Jak is struggling to get through high school. From the bus driver who hates him to his English teacher that finds any excuse to make his life miserable. However, Jak is determined to get back home to his mother after magically being pulled into another world through the magic of a meteor shower. Kaolin is a world where today's technology doesn't exist. An old couple rescue Jak from the cold mountain air and help him take steps in finding a way home. At the same time the king's men sense the illegal use of magic that brought Jak to Kaolin and come looking for him. The old couple use themselves as decoys, allowing Jak to get away. He finds himself with the resistance against a tyrannical king after narrowly escaping the general of the king's knights. He had a little help from a new comrade and an ancestral dragon. The members of the resistance think he is just another unfortunate magic-user who is seeking asylum. However, when Jak bonds with the ancestral dragon he is given an ancient power not witnessed in three hundred years. Along with this new power, the dragon comes with a prophetic warning that Jak's presence on Kaolin is a greater threat to the balance of nature than the murderous king and he must leave before it is too late. Once Jak uncovers a way back to Earth, he also discovers the old couple that saved him is being held within the dungeons of the capital. He is forced to choose between saving them and preventing the dragon's catastrophic prophecy.

What if the ordinary family you crave finds you? Only they're not ordinary, neither are you, and neither are the vampire neighbours raising your twin sister. An accident is all it takes to turn my mundane life in a London children's home upside down. Power and magic lurk at the priory, my new home in the Oxfordshire countryside, and I learn fast that nothing is ordinary around here. Not my newfound family-the Penhaligons. Not my long-lost twin sister. And not the hostile new neighbours-a coven of vampires, vaewolves and demons. As I grapple with family secrets, four powerful new brothers, and latent abilities of my own, my sister and the man who raised her find themselves in mortal danger-a danger that draws me and my family into a battle to save them. Finally embracing the meaning of family, two questions burn at the back of my mind. If vampires and demons exist, what are the Penhaligons? And what am I? ~~~ This story contains sibling banter, precious friendships, bitey neighbours, and terrible goats. It's already published at all major online retailers, along with the rest of the series. But if you want to read it on my subscription, the whole series is in the Bloodborn Archive tier (five bucks).
