I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door.

He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street.

Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

The Envoy of Darkness
"Everyone loves a good fantasy, but my life was turned upside down by one." What would you do if you had the ability to control the air? How about if you were suddenly brought to a world where, despite your powers, you're at the bottom of the food chain? On a fateful night, Max Walker finds himself summoned to Asterisk and contracted to Liliana Lockwood as her familiar. Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next. But as if that wasn't bad enough, Asterisk, a world which subverts reality as you know it, may just have something to do with Max's own heaven-defying origin... and a secret that could leave the universe hanging by a thread.

Birthspell
"Phenomenal. I couldn't put this down." Dawn. CA. He's bad news. Full of himself, brutally honest and arrogant. Under that gorgeous mask is something dark and twisted, and he's claimed me as his victim. When orphan Crystal visits a great aunt she's just met in Blacksville, West Virginia, she sets some rules for herself: #1 - Don't get too close to anyone. #2 - Don't expect too much. #3 - Don't fall for the town's bad boy like everyone else. While she finds the last one frustrating, Crystal has no intention of giving into any weaknesses. That is until she's told there's a curse that's been running through her family for generations, and it seems the one she needs to avoid is the key to bringing it to an end. Now all bets are off. Only a single line separates her from the side of magical beings, and she's crossing it. But she learns rules are in place for a reason. The hidden world in the seemingly small and innocent town goes far beyond the one she knows and understands. It's a world where humans once visited and have been warned not to return. Ever. ◆◆◆◆◆ On the outskirts of town, creatures roam the night, waiting for the One. The birth of her child... When orphan Crystal Valdez accepts an invitation to stay at Thorncrest Manor in the small town of Blacksville, her fate falls into the hand of a dark and sinister world of covens and witchcraft.
