With time ticking away, Rune and her partner, the cyber-spy St. Benedict, hunt for a way to defeat her challenger, the fire Talent, Abraxas. But instead of a way forward, all they discover are more long-hidden secrets about the bar, the House, and Rune’s past. But maybe, just maybe, those secrets hold the key needed to save the Lucky Devil.
But no matter what, the Devil will have its Day!

A simple, carefree decision to seek adventure soon turns into a series of growing perils as the dynamic duo meet many others just trying to get by. Cynkz’s own curiosities become entwined with the goals and wishes of others as his own resolve gets tested the further down they go.

There will be no peace, not even for the people of Espar.
The people have suffered long enough under the reign of squabbling princes. Prince Tohmas of Galanth has the perfect solution: supersede the Princes with a King. With the blessing of his Goddess Inac and the strength of the enchanted sword SoulBurner, he will be that King.
While half of Espar pledges allegiance, the other half declares war. Tohmas’ eyes turn to his greatest opposition, the Princedom of Trulin, where Prince Kelland is readying his majestic warhorses for battle. Victory in Trulin will only come with persistence and faith, but Inac’s favor is becoming fickle. Without Inac, SoulBurner is nothing, and Tohmas’ claim to Espar cannot be upheld.
As magic powers collide and dragons take to the skies, Tohmas faces a threat his training and years of experience in war are useless against: Prince Kelland’s daughter Arnika Trulin.

Brighde Reborn

Bridget’s Senior Year Checklist includes:
- Hook the new guy, Trip
- Hang with newly discovered cousin, Cay aka the most popular boy at OCHS
- Find missing weather controlling Amulet
- Pass SATs
- Save the world
In her quiet Jersey Shore town, high school senior Bridget MacNamara just wants to get a date with the strikingly attractive new kid, Trip, but fate and her lineage have other ideas. Things get weird when the most popular guy in school, Cailean “Cay” McKay, won’t leave her alone. Turns out they’re distant cousins and what’s more—they’re the descendants of twin Scottish goddesses, Brighde and Beira.
The sisters originally shared an amulet that controlled the weather, and its sudden disappearance has sparked betrayal and vengeance, dividing the once-close family into two rival factions for the last few centuries. Bridget finds herself thrown into a modern version of Scottish mythology when she learns she’s directly descended from Brighde, and Trip can be traced straight to Beira.
After a century of family warfare, Trip and Bridget are now a star-crossed couple, forced to fight both their families and each other in a race to find the missing amulet.
Wasn’t senior year supposed to be a breeze?
Honorable Darkness: Story of Hex and Snip
February 1, 2023 1:00 PM EST – https://books2read.com/RealmSeries9
Legends claim they are a pair born with souls so tarnished that they steal all the light and happiness from those who dare cross their path.
Revered as beings of myth and legend, they are the first twins born in the Realm for eons. They have become the monsters parents warn children about when they misbehave. Many of the kingdoms see them as a dangerous abomination.
Authenticity has been lost in time, leaving only the twisted and embellished tales of the impossible twin princes that had everything but desired more. After the significant loss of their mother, their only source of joy was their sister, Evie. But when she is taken under mysterious circumstances, the twins clash with their father, each other, and the rules of life itself in an attempt to save her life.
When it comes to the truth of their lives, Hex and Snip find themselves wishing the twisted stories of their past were true. For the truth is much, much worse.
