Nightmares, the harbingers of fear. They permeate the world through the minds of the scared, or of the insecure. The year is 1843, and in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, there is an epidemic. A silent, deadly, mind rotting epidemic. Nightmares have begun to take over the minds of the fearful and insecure, dragging them into the deep pits of a long lasting mental abyss. Turning them into shells of people, and coercing them to do the bidding of Insanity. Now, even more horrific, the nightmares are coming to life, materializing out of the minds of the deluded. They are impossible to fight, but one so damsel will not accept that.
Ashling DeGenesis is a young women who fights the nightmares, both mentally and physically. She is the holder of a special gift, the gift of Coelesense. The magic is used to reverse nightmares, to turn them for paralyzingly horrors of the mind into images of light.
For three long years Genesis has fought the insanity, which is slowly poisoning Britannia and its inheritance. This being is as ancient as it is powerful. The pinnacle of insanity, the incarnation of evil. And it's visit to this realm is long overdue.
He is coming.

Twisted Souls
"I'm sure most of us have dreamed of our happily ever afters. When we were young, we fantasized about living in a Cinderella's castle or battling dragons to save the damsel in distress. There are even some of us who have held onto this fantasy even as we've gotten older. Like me for example. I've dreamed of finding my prince charming and living happily ever after. It's just my luck that my "happily ever after" is in the future of a psychopath." Mallory Ryders is definitely known as a dreamer. A believer in magic and happy endings where good guys and love triumph all. That's exactly what she gets when she's transported to a different universe. But things aren't as she dreams when she crosses paths with the sadistic tyrant of the land, who is smitten with her. Now with a strange, but dangerous magic looming, Mallory must decide to stand up or run away.

Revolution (Book 3 of POE Chronicles)
(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres. With the fate of many of her friends still uncertain, she must race against time to uncover the Apocalypse's plan, pacify the government, and tried not to get killed by her grandmother.
