A missing sister. An assassination plot. A mysterious mark.

The Queen knows who Asha is…

…and will do anything to steal her void magic.

In their last encounter in the void, Asha barely escaped the Queen's clutches. With every moment bringing Asha closer to inevitable doom, Professor Sylvester uses his ties to the growing rebellion in Althuria to give her refuge. With Lex and Zaniyah, they work relentlessly to dismantle the Queen's tyrannical grip over the kingdom.

But everything is going haywire.

Asha's void magic is unreliable, a mysterious mark appears on her ankle—one Professor Sylvester is certain must be connected to the Queen—and her sister is missing. Even the once-safe forests now burst with danger, and creatures prowl through the night, making it nearly impossible to find Althea.

With her life hanging by a thread, Asha must confront a terrifying decision:

Does she abuse her power and wreak havoc upon the world, or face the death of the person she loves most?

A story about friendship, flawed heroines, and earth-shattering revelations, Shadows and Shifters is the second installment in the Althuria Chronicles coming-of-age fantasy series.

X-Men meets The Walking Dead in this super-human survival story, fraught with Crazies (not Zombies), beautifully broken characters, and bursting with raw emotion you can feel deep in your bones.The Virus spread. Billions died. The Ending began.

After Elle wakes from the fever, capable of horrific deeds, she fears she’s one of them. When she stumbles upon four orphans, Elle’s forced to discover what happens when her greatest fear becomes her darkest secret and her only hope of surviving.

Jackson – After the world goes mad and takes his family with it, Jackson Mitchell tosses aside his badge and decides a bottle of bourbon and the depths of despair are preferable to any semblance of living. All of that changes, however, when a group of young survivors are in dire need of his help and Jackson sacrifices his blissful oblivion in order to keep them safe. As they trek further away from the collapsing cities, Jackson must rely on his knowledge of the backcountry and the traditions of his people, or succumb to the dangers of the Alaskan wilderness.

Brought together under the worst possible circumstances, Elle and Jackson must face the inexplicable realities of the new world. Their past lives are over, and the arctic isn’t all that’s savage anymore.
