Blurb:

Man created sin.

The completion of the largest temple ever to be raised in the continent of Dautrinias approaches. King Kristoff Lodort promises songs of celebration, gathering the purest of maidens, the mightiest kings, and the most beloved queens in Radiant Star for a festivity deemed to please the gods.

While the final brick is laid, Marco Doran is confined in between the Crown’s merciless rebirth knights and his struggle to prove his worth. Unrest and tragedy surround the capital while the cold talons of heretics spread their poison over all that is holy.

Highborn and lowborn, none are truly safe, as the seed of deception and doubt sprouts from within the Lodort kingship.

There is only one way, through the pain.

Synopsis

IN THE NAME OF HONOR (ItNoH) is an adult fantasy book in the all-new Vows & Valor series. ItNoH offers trials and joys, a slow-burn romance, horror elements, found family, eco-fantasy, and enduring friendships among a diverse, queernorm cast. This is a standalone book and the first in the series, with the vibes of a LORD OF THE RINGS fellowship if led by a woman, epic yet accessible world building and cast like in PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE by Samantha Shannon, and the romance of THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

What would you risk to save someone you loved from a fate worse than death?

A half-elven princess grieves the loss of one father and fears for the other.
A loyal guardsman torn between his word and her safety.
And a creature so bent on revenge, he’ll make the world kneel to hurt them all.

Kaleela and Dimitar must evade capture and save her father, the king, from total corruption. Fans of epic fantasy will fall into this character-driven world and thrilling new adventure where a rescue mission turns into a hunt, and only the princess or the king can be saved.

A highlander on the run in colonial America…

Rory Macleod is a roguish Scot who has been exiled to the colonies for supporting the Jacobite cause. When he and his two brothers escape from indentured servitude and head west over the Appalachian mountains, they quite literally fall into the charming and stubborn Mercy Barnett, an outcast who uses folk healing to save Rory's brother. He pledges to stay the winter and repair her homestead, knowing that he is putting both his brothers and Mercy in danger. The real danger for Rory, however, is how quickly Mercy is stealing his heart. 

An outcast who desperately needs belonging…

Mercy Barnett, a “witch” healer, has been taking care of herself and her sister for as long as she can remember. Though her herbs and potions catch only paltry sums, she is determined to survive in the harsh colonial backcountry, even if she does have to share her small farm with three giant Scots for the winter. When her neglectful father dies, however, and Mercy is suddenly a young woman with no protection, she agrees to a sham marriage to Rory Macleod. The trouble is, she’s starting to fall in love with her husband, and she knows that come the first spring thaw, he’ll need to be gone. 

Fans of Outlander, Tessa Dare, Elizabeth Hoyt, and Maya Banks might enjoy this mid-steam, reluctant allies-to-lovers, marriage-of-convenience story! Mature content intended for readers 18+

Trigger warnings: alcoholism, parental neglect, threat of sexual assault, violence, poison, guns, imprisonment, death, and racism.

The long-awaited sequel to The Red Frontier is finally here, continuing the epic saga of Mars, where survival and destiny intertwine in ways unimaginable. Book 2 propels readers back into the harsh deserts and tumultuous politics of the Red Frontier and beyond, where Raymond Redmin, armed with the mysterious Ark device, must navigate the perilous future of Mars.

Three years have passed since the devastating Battle of Remnant, and Mars is still recovering from the scars of war. Raymond has become the de facto leader of the town of Remnant, a sanctuary amid the chaotic wastelands. But with leadership comes a heavy burden. The Ark device—the inexplicable relic that holds the power to create anything from nothing—rests solely in Raymond’s hands. Though it has saved countless lives, it also paints a target on his back, drawing the attention of both allies and enemies, each with their own designs on its potential.

Alongside Raymond are his stalwart companions Kira and her robotic fox Swift, fierce and loyal standing by his side through thick and thin. Together, they strive to rebuild Remnant into a beacon of hope for the downtrodden. But hope is fragile on Mars, and the threats are many.

On the other side of the planet on the utopian kingdom of the Golden Plains, the Zeltan supersoldiers—Tristan, Darien, and Marcus—have uncovered a dangerous secret, one that could upset the balance of power across the Red Frontier and the Kingdom. As they delve deeper into the truth, they are faced with a choice that could either safeguard the fragile peace or unleash a wave of destruction that no one is prepared for.

Meanwhile, the cyborg Ghost, a figure broken by his unimagineable trauma, embarks on a quest for vengeance. Ghost’s journey is one of inner turmoil and external violence, and what he discovers along the way could alter the very fabric of Mars’ future. His personal quest intertwines with the greater destiny of the planet, forcing him to confront not only his enemies but his own humanity.

The Red Destiny is more than just a continuation of our heroes’ journey; it’s a story that digs deeper into the lives of each character, revealing new depths of struggle, hope, and even romance amid the chaos of war. As Tristan grapples with the meaning of being a hero and as Ghost’s revenge-fueled quest unravels shocking revelations, the fate of the Red Frontier—and perhaps all of Mars—hangs in the balance.

This action-packed sequel is filled with high-octane battles, heart-wrenching decisions, and surprising twists that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. As the mystery of the Ark deepens and old enemies resurface, Raymond and his allies must face challenges that will test their loyalty, strength, and resolve. Can they uncover the true secrets of The Red Tomorrow, or will the dark forces at play be too powerful to overcome?

The Red Destiny is a must-read for fans of epic science fiction, blending the intrigue of a dystopian future with the pulse-pounding thrill of a high-stakes adventure. With vivid world-building, compelling characters, and a plot that twists and turns, it’s a gripping tale of survival, redemption, and the choices that define us.

This thrilling sequel “takes the action excitement of The Red Frontier and cranks it to 11, while having a surprising amount of levity, heart, and even romance.”

Prepare yourself for the next chapter in The Red Tomorrow series, where the future of Mars—and perhaps humanity itself—depends on the choices made by a few, and where the line between hero and villain is as red as the Martian sand.

Discover The Red Destiny, Book 2 of The Red Tomorrow series, today. The secrets of Mars are waiting to be unearthed.

Triggers: None, except some Star Wars-level action violence

BLURB

There's a thin line between love and obsession. He doesn’t care about crossing it.

Amelia This year was supposed to be my year. The year I finally gained the freedom I needed to spread my wings and fly.

But he crashed into my life with a deliciously beautiful blade and clipped my wings.

His presence is a shadow, always lingering, always reminding me I’m under his control.

If I try to escape, his grip tightens, pulling me deeper into his dark and twisted world.

But maybe, just maybe, his darkness is exactly what I need to fight my demons.

Blade After the first taste, I’m hooked like an addict.

I want her, I need her, I breathe her.

And I’ll fight tooth and nail to keep her.

She's my angel, and she'll tell you that I clipped her wings, but she doesn’t know it’s because there were others lurking around, waiting to do the same.

But only I can do that. Only my blade can taint and corrupt her.

And I’ll destroy anyone else who tries.

My blades of obsession cut deep, we’ll just have to see which of us survives the wounds.

Some secrets aren’t buried in the past—they’re written between the lines.

In the quaint town of Havenwood, where mystery meets history, seventeen-year-old Ethan Morris is about to discover that his new home sits at the crossroads of infinite realities. As summer unfolds, the veil between worlds grows thin, and Havenwood’s secrets begin to unravel.

Ethan, a reluctant newcomer with a hidden ability to traverse realities, finds himself caught between two worlds – the ordinary life of a teenager and the extraordinary role of a Realmwalker. With the help of Jamie, a talented musician whose melodies can bridge dimensions, Ethan must learn to harness his newfound powers and uncover the truth about his family’s enigmatic past.

But as Ethan delves deeper into Havenwood’s mysteries, he realizes the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. The fate of not just one world, but countless realities hangs in the balance. With shadowy forces closing in and the barriers between dimensions weakening, Ethan and Jamie must race against time to prevent a catastrophic collision of worlds.

Will their bond be strong enough to overcome the chaos of the multiverse, or will they be lost forever between the lines of reality?

If you loved the mind-bending adventures of Stranger Things combined with the small-town charm of Gilmore Girls, then Between the Lines: A Realmwalker Novel is your next must-read. This captivating young adult fantasy marks the debut of indie author Zachary Steele, promising a fresh voice in the world of multiversal fiction that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Genesis is a powerful collection of two interwoven narratives, Before Dawn and The Possession, exploring the profound intersections of personal transformation, spiritual warfare, and the unseen forces that shape our lives.

Before Dawn tells the story of two parallel narratives, bridging the mythic past and the complexities of modern life. These intertwined stories explore themes of betrayal, secrecy, and the delicate balance of power in relationships, offering a deep reflection on the human condition across time. 

The Possession tells the story of Magdalene, a college student, who feels her life unraveling under the weight of deadlines, strained friendships, and a troubled relationship with Nick. But it’s more than stress—strange thoughts and eerie coincidences make her question reality. As her relationships with Lily and others shift, Magdalene confronts unsettling truths about herself and the world, unsure whether her mind or something else is pulling the strings. The Possession explores themes of identity, mental health, and unseen forces, blurring the line between the real and imagined in a haunting journey of self-discovery. 

In Genesis, the two narratives weave together to explore the boundaries between reality and the supernatural, light and shadow, personal struggle and universal truth. Both stories speak to the journey of the human spirit—the fight for freedom, understanding, and a connection to the divine. This is a book about reclaiming power in the face of darkness, both external and internal, and finding light even in the most unexpected places.

Some things are worse than death… or high school.

Fourteen-year-old Xenia Findlay survived the crash that claimed her parents and her best friend Bethany. Moving to Porter Valley to live with her great-aunt should have been the perfect opportunity to heal. Instead of the peace and quiet she so desperately needs, she’s plagued by terrible headaches… and hallucinatory visits from her dead friend.

Worse, the students of Porter Valley High are disappearing. As, one by one, the missing students join Bethany in Xenia’s visions she begins to suspect that what she sees is real. If that’s true, then everything she thought she knew—about the world, about death, and about herself—is wrong. Magic is real. Ghosts exist. And a monster lurks in the shadows of her idyllic new home.

The bodies are piling up and it won’t be long before the ghastly force preying on Porter Valley turns its eyes upon her. If Xenia can unlock the power she’s discovered, she might just save herself, her town… and her very soul.

TRIGGERS: As suggested in the blurb, there is a multiple murder mystery at the core of the plot and the victims are high-school aged. Despite being primarily urban fantasy, it leans horror in places. There is some quite descriptive gore and a fair amount of violence. Mind control, death and grieving, some cursing. 

ARCs are available now. 

I would appreciate reviews by the November 26 publication date.

Crimson the Chromaveiled

Tagline:

Some wish to live in fairy tales. Those in them just wish to escape. 

Blurb:
Melzia wanted nothing more than to start a new life somewhere far away from the control of Queen. Some place where fairy tales were simply make-believe, magic didn’t exist, and dragons weren’t real. So, as she stood by the well in the pouring rain, she threw her coin and whispered her fateful wish.

Soon after, she stepped through the portal from Fenglauria to Earth, leaving behind her life as a chromaveiled. She thought her deepest wish had finally come true. She thought she was free.

Eight years later, two cloaked figures suddenly marched into her calm life, and she knew her past had caught up with her. Now, to keep herself and her boyfriend—Luke—safe, Melzia had to evade capture as she dragged him across a magical world he knew nothing about. The time had come for her to find out if her powers were strong enough to rescue Luke… And save herself.

When 14-year-old Isabelle and her friends have a brush with a supernatural artifact that grants them otherworldly abilities, they handle it the only way that makes sense: they become amateur superheroes. But no power comes without cost and the fallout from their choices just may have xenocidal consequences. Caught between shadowy extraterrestrial hunters who will stop at nothing to prey on their power and an unscrupulous head of a bioengineering firm, Isabelle and her friends will need to learn that it takes more to being heroes than possessing superpowers.

Potential Triggers: bullying, violence, kidnapping

Hello,

I am looking to build an ARC team for my book. First one of a series. Publish date of 09/04/2024

Blurb:

Rosie did well avoiding royalty. Her goal was to stay out of the way and live a simple life until she could finally have her cottage with a garden. The young ladies considered her an outcast and she was fine with that –she had the woods, flowers, and herbs.

Everything was going according to plan until King Adrian showed up again and requested her to be his personal maid for his two-week stay at the village. She knew nothing about serving royalty. That was her sister’s life dream.

Adrian, The Dark One, went to the village to fulfill a small request for Lucifer – check on his daughter and make sure her power was growing enough to go to the Underworld. It should’ve been simple, except that he looked at Rosie and felt drawn to her.

Lucifer said that if Adrian touched her in any way then he would kill him. Stupidly thinking that there would be no harm in it, he asked for her to serve him. Every day he watched her, and every day he fell in love with the daughter of the Devil.

Was Rosie worth dying for? Was the question he asked himself.

Triggers:

• Explicit language
• Sex
• Eating disorder
• Death
• Demons
• Gods

Don't miss out on this dark, seductive adventure.

We can't wait to hear what you think!

Magic, gangs, guns, evil cults, awkward teens, political instability, and high school classes all come together in 165k words. I plan on launching August 19th. I understand this is quick turn-around time, but I'm hoping for a book-devourer or two.

Blurb:

"In uncovering hope, in remembering pleasure, he wasn’t sure he could stand losing it all again."

A former teenage assassin faces a fresh and terrifying challenge: high school. While the boy adjusts to normal life on an island metropolis, zealots from his past arrive to shatter the fragile peace of his new home, but an order of knights, men and women tasked with investigating magic crimes, stands in their way. Caught in the crossfire, a gang boss and an ex-investigator unite to answer the threats surfacing on their turf and the bodies left behind.

Shadowy plans clash with the bravery of the few in a city of secrets. The beginning has come. Welcome to Elem.

Trigger Warning: Depression, anxiety, few mentions of self-harm, few mentions of physical abuse, brief mentions of suicidal ideation, profanity with some characters, violence, death, and brief moments of PTSD.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment, and if you're interested, DM me. I plan to send the ARCs out as soon as possible.

Edit: Added, "I plan to send the ARCs out as soon as possible."

Fifteen years after climbing the beanstalk, giants are the least of Jack's problems.

Years after saving his home village from an invading giant from the sky, Detective Jackson Slade of the NYPD is at his lowest; addicted to mysterious magick beans and spending each night drunk and alone in filthy bars.

But one night, Jack stumbles across the shattered corpse of media mogul and esteemed businessman Dick Dumpty outside a hotel, which sends him spiraling into the horrifying and magickal criminal underbelly of New York City. Along the way, Jack teams up with notorious outlaw Goldilocks after getting blacklisted by his chief of police, who proudly claims to be a descendant of the evil tyrant of centuries ago, Old King Cole.

As the reluctant duo of Jack and Goldilocks take on the criminal mastermind Papa Bear, as well as all those the huge grizzly has under his control, Jack sets in motion a chaotic chain of events that will change the world, for better or worse.

Trigger warning: Physical abuse, language, allusion to rape, kidnapping, violence

Blurb:

The Chosen One is dead.

Once, a prophecy foretold the coming of Ashla Farron; destined to save the galaxy of Lorscaie. A prophecy now broken by her death.

A dark, malevolent presence now consumes Lorscaie. Corrupting, corroding every single planet, swallowing the sun whole over the course of the past decade, turning humans into violent monsters known as Shadow Entities. What remains of civilisation is now in disarray and there’s only five days left until doomsday.

Gale Seraph; childhood friend of Ashla and later on in life her lover, played a key role in the prophecy. Foretold to be the warrior who would protect her until the day she vanquished the coming darkness, he failed in his task before she could fulfil her purpose.

Living with survivor’s guilt and immense grief at losing the love of his life, Gale is burdened by the fact that the galaxy’s doomed fate and the lives lost is all his fault. As the now broken man searches for a reason to continue living, he is found by Eva; a mysterious woman with an unknown agenda, claiming she knows of another way to save Lorscaie. But can she be trusted?

Gale must embark on an unexpected journey, overcoming his inner demons in order to save what’s left of humanity, and himself, before the galaxy is lost forever.
