"'In my world, keeping my head on my shoulders has always required paying attention to what goes on around me. I've seen chaos, and I've seen evil . . . '
In Zurich—the wealthy, peaceful city where I plan to attend university—I walk into a war zone. Vampires, werewolves, Knights Magica, and the Mage Guild battle for supremacy. Apprenticed to a man considered the greatest living mage, I have a lot to learn—if I survive.
'Balance is messy. Freedom is messy. People and their social constructs aren't always pretty.'
A dark, character-driven urban fantasy where magic is power, alliances are fragile, and survival means walking the line between order and chaos.
Perfect for listeners who love: dark, immersive urban fantasy with political depth; complex heroine with untamed magic; magic vs. morality stories where no side is clean; and high-stakes danger, evolving friendships, and hard-earned power.

"I hunt the lost, the dangerous, and the damned. It's how I survive. This time? It's how I might die.
Since my parents were murdered, I've survived by hunting down whatever—or whoever—needs finding. Rogue vampires, runaway dogs, missing kids, even deadbeat spouses. If it comes with a paycheck, I take the job.
This hunt is different. A master mage offered me a reward I couldn't refuse—track down a rogue summoner, stop the demon, and get out. Simple.
But as the bodies pile up and the vulnerable start vanishing, I realize this job is darker, deadlier, and more twisted than anything I've faced before. It isn't just about stopping a summoner—it's about stopping what comes next.
The hunt is on. Dare to join me in the shadows?

"Alice Henderson was a legend at Wicklow College long before she took a header three and a half stories from her apartment window to the sidewalk below.
Savanna Robinson has only been teaching at Wicklow College of the Arcane Arts for two months, and the body count is already alarming. Her friend, Kelly Grace, is ghost writing Alice's memoir—filled with illicit affairs and covert espionage while working for the CIA. And upon her death, the CIA appears, demanding all of Alice's papers and the half-written book. Then the International Council of Magical Practitioners gets involved. But Alice's isn't the last murder to cast its shadow on Wicklow."
"When Savanna Robinson showed up at Wicklow College to assume her new teaching position, she was somewhat curious about the abrupt departure of her predecessor. Then she discovered he had been murdered. No one knew who killed him, or why, but everyone had their theories and suspects. Even the police—arcane and mundane—didn't seem very eager to investigate too deeply.
But Savanna discovered a possible connection with the murder of a broker of rare arcane books. Were there really spells that could change your luck? When her own life is threatened, and the murders begin to pile up, she knows she can't leave the mystery unsolved.
An urban fantasy mystery to delight those who enjoy both genres."
"It had been thirteen years, but my heart skipped a beat. My brain was bursting with things I wanted to say—many of them contradictory—things I had thought I might say if I ever saw him again. So, I said nothing.
He pulled a leather bag out of an inside pocket of his cloak, opened the drawstrings, and turned it upside down over a display tray on the counter. A flood of rubies—smooth but uncut—poured out. 'I need you. There's probably a whole mountain full of them. But I can't find the vein myself. Come with me, and we'll split the take.'
What I had—what he wanted—was a talent for earth magic. I sifted them through my fingers. The quality was extraordinary, the feel of them electric as they touched my magic.

"I was blissfully ignorant of a book, usually translated into Human languages as The Gospels of Satan, until it was stolen from the Great Library.
My twin sister, a Senior Scholar, showed up at my door and asked me to help her retrieve the cursed book. It's magical, priceless, and in the wrong hands might be dangerous.
It could be anywhere in thousands of Worlds, but the logical place for the thieves to sell it is the Great Marketplace at the Crossroads of the Worlds. Not out in the open, but in the shadows known as the Night Market, where the buyers and sellers don't mind disposing of a body or two.

"Sometimes family is there to love you, and sometimes family is there to kill you . . .
When a man came into my shop in the Great Marketplace at the Crossroads of the Worlds and tried to kill me, it completely ruined my day. Not only did I have to clean up the blood, but disposing of his body made me late to meet my friends for drinks.
A nagging little detail kept bugging me, though. As he died, he said he was hired by my mother's family—people I hadn't seen for more than a decade. Then I discovered that assassins had made attempts on my brother and sister as well. As much as I didn't want to, I decided I should find out who wanted us dead, and put a stop to it.
Talk about stepping out of the pan into the fire . . .

"My name is Danica James. I'm a cop with the Arcane Division.
A new demon lord has crossed the Rift, and says his queen wants her statue back, the one I took from the previous demon lord. Then he proposes a trade. You can't trust demons. They lie, they cheat, they steal. They prey on humans. But unless I'm willing to walk away, it's the only game in town.
The exciting conclusion to The Rift Chronicles trilogy.

"My name is Danica James. I'm a cop with the Arcane Division.
My job is to protect humanity from monsters—whether they be human or creatures from the Rift. It beats sitting in a factory cubical all day, which is where magiteks usually work.
Most of humanity hates the magic users who rule the world, but the Magi stand between humans and the creatures who came across the Rift. For a hundred years, the Magi have kept the demons, vampires, and other monsters in check. But now one Magi Family has allied itself with the demons in a bid for world domination. It was ugly before, but now it's getting worse.

"My name is Danica James. I'm a cop with the Arcane Division.
Most mages have the ability to manipulate the elements—fire, water, air, earth, electricity. My magic only works on machines and electrical devices. They call me a magitek. That doesn't help much with demons and vampires, let alone criminals with lethal magikal powers.

"If the Knights Magica want a war, I'm willing to give them one.
I damned my soul long ago. What I do from this point forward is about redemption. If I burn in Hell because of fighting for others, for shouldering their sins, so be it.
The Knights are powerful, and they have taken control of the Universal Church. All across the world, the Knights find themselves in conflict with other paranormals and supernaturals. Human governments scramble to cope with the new reality of magic. Cities become battlegrounds.
And in Westport, Rosie O'Grady's Bar and Grill becomes a center for organizing the Resistance.
Then the Fae decide it's time to act.

"I never expected to see a mage battle on national TV.
When the ley lines—the orderly rivers of magical energy that circle the globe—went wild, chaos ensued.
Magic hid in the shadows for hundreds of years, but then a secret order took control of one of the world's largest religions. Their goal is to rule the world, and the first step is to control the ley lines and magic users.
I didn't escape the Illuminati just to become a slave to the Knights Magica. If they want me, they're going to have a fight on their hands.
