A mage traded his soul to the Greater Nop Demon Erantonop for a spell, and lost his name and half his memories to boot. His only hope of regaining his former life lies deep in the heart of the Weylin Forest, in the abandoned Temple of Corallyre. On the Spring Equinox, the Greater El Demon Onohiel is said to grant a boon for those brave enough to face packs of carnivorous shape-shifting blight worms and the heavy spring rains that flood the river protecting the temple every year. Joined by his companions Bladehand the swordsman, Nightjewel the healer, and the young thief Leafdancer, they travel through the forest to seek Onohiel's aid in getting his soul and his memories back. But all is not as it seems. Erantonop seems to be manipulating the mage, but for what purpose? Bladehand rescues a woman named Phina from the river whose memories are also gone, but where did she come from, and how is she connected to the mage? Was she sent by Erantonop for a sinister purpose? The mage and his friends struggle to find out before Erantonop gets tired of toying with him and ends the game. A huge thank you to Jamie Judson for the awesome book cover!

"I am..... I am young but I am old. I am ignorant but I am wise. I am immortal yet I am mortal. I am a girl but I am a woman. I am quiet but also very loud. I am human yet I am not. I am everything but also nothing. I am a living contradiction that's been dead too many times. I am the Pheonix Queen."

A short story set in a dystopian world, but grounded in the theme of change after loss.

Things didn't fall apart the night i lost the two people in the world who meant the most to me. I hit rock-bottom long ago and i hit the ground running. What's the point of getting out when you're just going to fall back in again? The more i think about it, the more i wonder if my siblings are better off dead. They had no one. Aside from me, but let's face it, i may be clinically insane. They never have to grow up. Ten years old for all eternity. I was never going to be able to shield them from this world forever. +++ Tilley Kieran, in her seventeen years of existence, never had a chance to be a child. From the moment she could walk, her world had begun to spiral. Years of abuse, neglect and unwarranted responsibility begin to take their toll on a kid. The loss of her two younger siblings leaves Tilley with nothing to lose, and nothing left to fight for- a concept Tilley embraces whole-heartedly. Tilley has only one goal: to hurt those who have made her life a living hell. Her shattered heart can cut them all to pieces, given the opportunity. What better way is there to seek revenge than to burn all that has harmed her to the ground? In her mind, she is unstoppable. Nothing can intercept her fury. Not the cops riding hot on her tail. Not the boy chasing after her, oblivious to the hurricane that is Tilley's mind. She believes she's past help, and past love. She will shake the world if it's the last thing she does. After all, what's more dangerous than someone who has nothing left to lose?
