In the kingdom of Elorath, demons are nothing but a whisper of an old fear, banished long ago to the abyss. But young Astrid, ever the curious and defiant daughter of the king's mage, isn't afraid of the dark. She wants to see what lies beyond the forbidden spells, to prove that demons are more than the bedtime horrors the kingdom claims them to be.
One fateful night, she cracks open the veil between worlds, calling forth the infernal. Before chaos can consume her, her father, Saul, intervenes-but not before three demons slip through. To contain the damage, Saul binds them to Astrid, chaining the creatures to her side as permanent, mischievous playmates. The price? Astrid must remain a child forever to keep the spell binding.

Spell Book & Scandal
Shelby King is tired of living in her sister's shadow. Shelby's a scribe, like her mom, and everyone expects her to write spells for her sister, the way her mom always has for her dad. But Shelby's spells fail spectacularly, and by the time she's a sophomore, Christina won't touch them with a ten-foot-pole; their parents aren't much better. Shelby is fed up, and she decides to show the world she doesn't care if she isn't as good as her stuck-up sister, or as talented as their powerful parents. In fact, she decides it's time to break all the rules, magical and otherwise, and she starts sneaking out to meet Jeremiah Smallwood, the second-best caster in school at illegal pop-up spell battles around town. She may not be able to scribe for him, but she doesn't mind letting him think that she could; Shelby's been half in love with Miah as long as she can remember, but he's never paid attention to her until now, and she's not going to risk her chances worrying about a pesky thing like the truth. But when Christina rats her out to their parents, Shelby can't control her anger, and words come pouring out of her that she can't take back even if she wanted to, threatening Christina's future...and Shelby's own chances with Jeremiah. It'll take more magic than Shelby's ever dreamed of to set things right, but no scribe has that much magic...right?Complete
Four Little Demons
Banished from the demon realm for confronting the Overlord, four mischievous demon children find themselves cast into a world they've only heard about in whispers. To them, humans are the monsters-unpredictable, cruel, and dangerous. But to survive, they must uncover the truth. In this strange new realm, emotions take form and names carry the weight of feeling. Merroo, ever radiant with joy. Feria, shadowed by fear. Ragia, burning with rage. Sorro, heavy with sorrow. Their names are more than labels-they are legacies. But not all burdens are meant to last. As their journey unfolds, each must confront the feeling that defines them--and choose whether to be ruled by it or rise beyond. Yet the real challenge awaits not in the world they've entered, but in the one they left behind.

The Shattered Veil
It's 1991, and Aurelia Black begins her second year at Hogwarts certain that the danger she faced last year is over. She's wrong. Invisible rifts have started to tear through the ancient wards of the castle - thin, jagged wounds in the very air that spill strange cold and drifting motes of light. Some vanish in seconds. Others linger like open doors to somewhere they shouldn't lead. The Black family locket at Aurelia's throat hums whenever one is near, the motes it carries swirling faster, as though urging her toward them. As she searches for answers, Aurelia crosses paths with cunning older students, learns to read codes older than the castle itself, and realises someone may be using the rifts for their own dark purpose. Every step closer to the truth pulls her deeper into a race against time - before the largest tear of all opens, and something steps through that Hogwarts will never be able to send back.Complete
