Book Description
Step into a thrilling urban fantasy trilogy that artfully combines hair-raising danger and suspense with exotic locations, powerful magic, and larger-than-life characters. Book 1: Cryptic Magic He’s a mystical bounty hunter. She’s a magical anomaly destined to destroy his world. Zaid has one mission: hunt down rogue Anunnaki and bring the magical beings to justice. But when he discovers the nightmare of his ancient civilization in the form of a seemingly ordinary young girl, he knows he must capture her and take her back to his homeland, the city of Rhapta – whether she likes it or not. Kinza’s parents were murdered when she was a child. She’s spent her entire life wondering why they were killed – along with the source of the bizarre tattoo on her stomach. But when her world collides with a mysterious supernatural bounty hunter, she uncovers the shocking truth behind her heritage... and the terrifying powers that are waiting to be unleashed. Her wild gifts could either destroy the world – or lead to its salvation. Thrown headlong into a deadly new reality and hunted by evil rogue Anunnaki, Kinza must learn fast if she wants to stay alive. If she can’t control herself, everyone will die. And as much as Zaid cares for her, he’s prepared to eliminate her to keep his homeland safe. Zaid is used to dealing with powerful magic. But this time, he may have bitten off more than he can chew... Book 2: Erratic Magic Somebody wants her dead – even if that means turning their city to ruins. Kinza is destined to destroy the Anunnaki or save them – and when she arrives to find a city in ruins, her worst fears are seemingly confirmed. Caught in a bloody battle against a rebel group who claim to serve her, the citizens of this once-great city begin to believe the prophecy. Kinza is certain she’s being framed... but even Zaid is beginning to doubt her. Racing against time to prove her innocence and win over Zaid before the citizens take justice into their own hands, Kinza must navigate a crumbling city and unravel the sinister truth... and after she falls in with a mysterious group of unlikely allies, she begins to piece together a world-shattering revelation. Kinza holds an incredible secret – and somebody will kill to stop it from coming to light. Struggling to hold together a city on the brink of collapse, Kinza and her newfound friends must unmask her secretive enemies and find a way to control her immense powers. Discovering the truth will change their world forever. But if her enemies succeed, she won’t be alive to learn it... Book 3: Infinite Magic She could save their fractured race... or lead to their destruction. The magical city of Rhapta is in chaos, and the psionic barrier that protects it from the outside world is beginning to crumble. Kinza finds herself caught in a fierce power struggle that will define the future of the Annunaki forever. A few weeks ago, she didn’t even know they existed. Now, they want her to become their queen. But old enemies are lurking in the shadows – and with the barrier about to fall, the Anunnaki fear humanity is on the brink of discovering their existence. All the while, Kinza struggles with her growing feelings for her guardian Zaid and her newfound friend Mikah. Racing against time to gain the trust of the mysterious Outer Annunaki who live disguised among the human world, Kinza and Zaid must reunite the fractured Annunaki and win her place as queen. The fate of their people hangs in the balance, and everything they’ve worked for is on the brink of being exposed... but can Kinza find the strength to lead this magical race? Or will she crumble under the immense pressure?

Pages : 578
Book Description
A trick of magic, a twist of fate. As the orphaned nephew of the king, trusted companion to his cousin, and second heir to the throne of Skala, Prince Tobin’s future is clear. But not as clear as the spring in which a hill witch shows him his true face--and his secret destiny.... Now Tobin carries a burden he cannot share with even his closest friend, Ki, his squire. He is to rule--not as he is but as he was born: a woman. Given the shape of a boy by dark magic, Tobin is the last hope of the people of Illior--those who desperately seek a return to the old ways, when Skala was ruled by a line of warrior queens. They still believe that only a woman can lift the war, famine, and pestilence that have run rampant through the land since the king usurped his half sister’s throne. It is these outlaw wizards and witches who protect Tobin--and it is for them that Tobin must accept his fate. With the unsuspecting yet fiercely loyal Ki at his side, Tobin must turn traitor against the only blood ties he has left. He must lift the masks of Skala’s rulers to show their true colors--before he can reveal the power of the woman within himself.
