Book Description
A psychopathic wizard. An immortal mage. An epic battle of wills. Nikolai doesn’t want much out of life: sex, immortality, and the power to disembowel anyone who crosses him. But with dark magic forbidden, his only option is Medea–a mage so deadly even the Enforcers give her a wide berth. Despite dire warnings that her apprentices don’t survive, Nikolai won’t stop until she agrees to train him. After all, he’s a killer himself. Barbaric and brutal, the training is a far cry from what Nikolai expects. When a mysterious illness strikes Nikolai down, he suspects he’s found the secret to Medea’s longevity. He resolves to find out what happened to her previous apprentices. If he can locate the source of her power, he can turn it against her. Medea swore off training dark wizards–none of them take the craft seriously and the ungrateful bastards always try to kill her. This one definitely seems the backstabbing type, but magic is dying out and she hasn’t felt such magical strength in centuries. If she can control the boy, show him that magic is more than curses and necromancy, he might obtain the power he desires. If not, well... What’s one more dead apprentice? If you enjoy dark fantasy with quirky, morally grey characters and humorous banter (but no romance), this is the book for you! Contains: - swearing, violence, some gore - some sex (not graphic) - no romance - manipulative protagonist that could be triggering to some - two neurodiverse leads (psychopathic and autistic)

Magic is dying out, and the only people who can stop it are a psychopathic wizard who can’t keep it in his pants and an immortal autistic mage with crippling anxiety.

Book Description
This time last year, I could go weeks without seeing another mage. In mage society I was an unknown and, all in all, that was how I liked it. It’s hard to say what changed. Whatever it was, I got involved in the magical world again and started getting myself a reputation. Alex Verus’s insights into the future used to be the best-kept secret in London. Now, with the aid of his apprentice, Luna, his unique investigative talents are all the rage. He just has to be careful about picking his employers, because everyone—even the beautiful woman who practically begs him to run security for a prestigious tournament—has motives that can be hard to predict. And Alex doesn’t do unpredictable. But his latest gig just might be impossible. Apprentices have been vanishing without a trace—and someone on the Council could be involved. Alex has no evidence, no witnesses, and no suspects. All he knows is that someone is keeping tabs on him. And after assassins target Luna’s classmate, Alex sees that he doesn’t know the half of it—and that he could be the next to disappear.

We Are Not Alone
Author: Karen S. Dolan
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1452001081
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
Have you ever heard a voice telling you something, and you know that it did not come from you? Some people call it premonition, intuition or is it something else? Are we surrounded by unseen forces? Forces that communicate with us constantly, but we are too busy to hear them? "We Are Not Alone - A Journey of Self-Discovery" are the real-life stories of people who have experienced these unseen forces in their lives. The story begins with Kaydee, a traveler through time who encounters many situations supernaturally prepared for her from outside of the time dimension. Other travelers through time and their encounters are woven into the fabric of the artwork that is dynamically being painted by the Creator Himself. Scientists are discovering that we live in a multi-dimensional world. We only perceive 4 dimensions; width, length, depth or height and time. Like a straight line trying to understand the dimensionality of a square, we can't always understand the dimensions outside of the four we live in; or can we? Is it possible to perceive what it is like outside of time? Could these be the spiritual dimensions that the Bible talks about? Could this be what God is talking about when He says, "Those who have ears will hear and those who have eyes, will see?"
