    ANCIENT HATRED NEVER DIES.


    For two centuries, the Der’geron have waited.


    Exiled after the great elven war, they have nursed their vengeance in silence. Now, as unrest fractures the Northern Kingdom and alliances weaken, the long-shadowed enemy begins to rise.


    Callum Walker never asked for destiny.


    But when he and his companion Jax attempt to repair the failing veil between realms, they are captured and dragged into the hellish grotto beneath Elfarian. Forced to labor or die, Callum uncovers a terrifying truth:


    This will not be a war.


    It will be a reckoning.


    Tempted by dark magic and haunted by his own buried anguish, Callum must decide whether to embrace a power that may save the realm—or destroy his soul.


    For readers who love epic fantasy with political tension, reluctant heroes, and magic that comes at a cost.

    Apr 30 2026


    Gehenna isn’t on Google Maps and there’s no Angel Annihilation for Dummies. To Miriam Feldman, list lover extraordinaire, this is an irritating oversight.


    It’s fine. She’s got this mission under control. Sure, her instructions are vague, and her team is trigger-happy, but she’s got plenty of motivation to carry them to victory.


    Vengeance counts, right?


    Plus, if ridding the world of celestial menaces doesn’t top up Miri’s karmic bank, then stopping a vampire contagion will definitely earn her some good will.


    Unless it gets her killed. That’s a distinct possibility.


    One which she refuses to worry about since she’s got her shiny new relationship with a sexy wolf shifter to enjoy. And honestly, his family dysfunction is making hers look pretty damn insignificant.


    How’s that for positive thinking? She’s going to nail this.


    Happily-ever-after, here she comes.


    Ace of Shades, the thrilling finale, features a later in life romance, a heart-pounding mystery, and a magical midlife adventure.
