Lotus in the Mountain
Book 1
When it comes to magic, secrets rule. For Mia and Derek, those secrets will destroy them.
Empath and fledgling mage, Derek, never meant to hide his powers from his twin sister. But after seventeen years of lies, he can’t reveal them now. Even when he falls ill. Even when his dreams speak of untold horrors. Even when a mysterious woman with red eyes repeatedly tries to kill him.
He has to protect his sister from a world she isn’t part of.
Except Mia has secrets too. For instance, the blond woman stalking her and the glowing knife in a mysterious cave. Or, most exhausting of all, the new boy in school who knows a little too much about magic. She can’t involve Derek. He wouldn’t understand.
As the mystery of the red-eyed woman pushes Derek to his limits, Mia can’t trust her brother with her newfound knowledge. Both are spiraling down separate, dark paths. But those paths are more entwined than they know. If they aren’t careful, their secrets will shatter not only their relationship, but the safety and security they’ve always known. If those secrets haven’t already.
An Imminent Dream
Book 2
Once trust is gone, normality is impossible. For Blair, this has never been more obvious.
Blair has lived her life drowned in secrets. If being a mage wasn’t enough, she’s the first seer in three generations. A secret she’d held close to her chest until last fall. Now her best friends know, but she can’t let anyone else discover her gift.
At least, not until Mia disappears.
Abandoning an ever exhausted and frantic Derek, Blair and Cody venture into the wilds of Wyoming where Mia might be. And where Blair’s clan absolutely is. She has no choice but to ask them for help. Unfortunately, this means revealing her secret to the leader of her mage clan: her controlling and overbearing grandmother.
The Cokori Clan has answers, but those answers come at a price. Mia’s safety for Blair’s freedom. Blair will do anything to save her best friend, but the more she learns about her clan’s secrets, the more she realizes how dangerous this deal is.
Time is running out. Blair and Cody don’t know who to trust. And if Blair can’t learn to control her visions, she’ll lose both her freedom and Mia to a plot three thousand years in the making.
The Children of Death
Book 3
It all started when he asked Death to make him immortal.
Death was lonely.
And so he made a friend. Then another. And another. And another. And his friends lived happily. But like all living things, they must die.
And he must reap them.
So, he was lonely.
Until the day, many millennia having passed, a man suggested that there is another way. A way with immortals. With friends who will never die. But no one could have predicted the consequences of one immortal man.
And no one could have guessed the consequences when the Children of Death rebelled against their father.
A Hollow Secret
Book 4
Cody has always hated his powers. He hates them even more now that the love of his life is pulling away.
Senior year was always going to be terrible. It marked the end of Cody’s stability. Even with the influx of magic and secrets, he would give anything for time to stop. He wants a moment—just a moment—of calm.
But, despite Jae’s absence, calm is not in the cards. Cody’s mother, back from a hospital stay, isn’t herself. Mia is too terrified to leave her house. Derek won’t speak to him. And Blair is obsessed with tracking down the other three artifacts. If Cody’s not worrying about Mia and his mother, Blair is pulling him into her dangerous plans.
It’s too much.
Cody finds himself wishing that he is someone else. Someone normal who Mia can trust. Who Derek doesn’t hate. Who Blair doesn’t drag across the world in the middle of the night.
But while he and his friends struggle to adjust to the fractures in their circle, the war continues to build. If they get too caught up in their own issues, they won’t notice the violent plot being executed right under their nose. At least, not until it’s too late.
The Risen Queen
Book 5
Everyone thinks Derek is grief stricken. Stuck in the past. But he ignores them all.
Willow Creek is gone. Cody has a job—and a chip on his shoulder. Mia has secluded herself in China. The world has spent the past five years moving on.
Derek won’t.
He can feel Blair’s emotions. She’s not dead, despite what everyone says. He refuses to give up on her, even if Niran is growing more powerful every day. Derek has spent the last five years buried in research to find her. And when he does, all hell breaks loose.
In the Realm of Death, Derek fights to find Blair as Niran becomes more real.
Outside, Cody is handed a list of vague tasks to complete if he ever wants to see his friends again.
On the other side of the world, Mia meets a woman who forces her to confront her traumas.
And meanwhile, in the middle of nowhere, Blair awakens.
Despite their destroyed relationships, the four friends must work together to stop the spiraling war. If they ever want to find peace, they need to fight their demons and learn where they fit into the plot that Death has created. Or, maybe, it’s time to burn his plans to the ground.
