“The Alt-World Chronicles” – Dark Urban Fantasy Series

ALTERNI: The Sanctuary War Trilogy Book 1

Eight Chosen Ones came before her. All of them are dead.

When a bubble of light abducts Esme, she wakes in a version of Kansas City where magic is real – and a secret war is being lost. Demonic beasts called malevolenci are tearing into reality through otherworldly rifts, and the ancient Order sworn to stop them is running out of options.

Esme doesn’t belong here. At least, she shouldn’t.

In this Sanctuary  world, werewolves from the secret Order patrol alongside the KCPD. Vampires make excellent doctors. Fairies dream of Hollywood. Elves are lawyers. Goblins run banks. Trolls are soldiers – and serve the best barbecue in town. Magic is woven into everyday life…and into a war no one else can see.

The Order summoned Esme for one reason:  She is an alterni – an alt-world version of the original Esme who fought to save them. And only alterni can wield a rare magic powerful enough to fight the malevolenci.

Eight alterni came before her. Eight are dead.

Now Esme must master complex magic, survive in a world that doesn’t believe in her, and partner with King Owen – the charming but broken ruler haunted by alterni he’s already lost. As malevolenci attacks escalate and the Order’s faith collapses, Esme realizes the truth no one wants to tell her:

She wasn’t summoned to save the Sanctuary. She was summoned to replace the last failure.

If Esme falls, the invasion won’t just destroy the Sanctuary – it will spill into her world next.

MALEVOLENCI: The Sanctuary War Trilogy Book 2

Demons are winning. Allies are turning. This war isn’t what they thought.

The malevolenci that nearly destroyed the Sanctuary in Alterni are back, stronger and more cunning than before. Alliances once united begin to fracture, and the fragile peace that Esme found is slipping through her fingers.

Magic is no longer new to her – it’s limitless. Unfortunately, power alone can’t calm restless paranormals. Jinn dabble in civilian politics. Fairies demand an impossible return to their home world. Rebel vampires cry slavery. Ancient tensions flare, and whispers of civil war sweep through the Order.

But nothing could prepare them for the truth waiting beneath doctrine and history – how close they truly are to losing the war, and what that loss will mean for every alt-world.

Running out of time, Esme and Owen draw old friends and unexpected allies into a search for answers hidden in ancient texts, forgotten caves, and blood memories. Finding the malevolenci’s weakness might save them all…but uncovering the truth could tear apart everything the Order believes.

ORIGINI: The Sanctuary War Trilogy Book 3

The war has become chaos.

In Alterni and Malevolenci, Esme and the Order fought demonic monsters and scrambled to maintain alliances. Now, as the Order finally gains ground, everything they thought they understood about the malevolenci war shatters.

Rebellion has fractured the paranormals. Fairies, jinn, and vampires once loyal have already turned. Zealots threaten to side with the enemy. Traitors lurk in the shadows. Covert plots undermine centuries of peace. If the Order doesn’t end this war quickly, there may be no Order left to save the worlds they swore to protect.

For Esme, nothing is the same. The return of her greatest ally shakes her to the core – forcing her to question everything she believed about her role, her place in the Order, and who she even is. And as the pressure to prove herself closes in, even Owen’s faith feels fragile.

They must take the fight to the heart of the malevolenci world – a hellscape where demons are born and every step closer to victory is a step deeper into danger. With their elite cavali team rebuilt, Esme and Owen lead the Order’s final charge against invincible, merciless enemies… But the greatest threat is one they never see coming.

THE SANCTUARY WAR TRILOGY: Box Set

Secret paranormal societies. A Sanctuary at war with demons. A heroine haunted by eight dead versions of herself. 

Welcome to The Sanctuary War Trilogy, the first three books of The Alt-World Chronicles – an urban fantasy series where magic hides in modern cities and survival depends on people no prophecy ever promised would win. 

Here in the Sanctuary, demonic malevolenci cross otherworldly rifts between worlds, and an ancient Order fights to stop the invasion. The Chosen Ones are dead. Old strategies are failing. And the war meant to protect all of reality is slipping out of control. 

Pulled from her own world, Esme becomes the Order’s newest alterni – summoned to wield powerful magic only she can control. Living in the shadow of her predecessors, she must fight monsters while navigating a world that expects her to die like the eight alterni before her.

Beside her stands King Owen Lord, a battle-hardened ruler who has buried every alterni he’s ever fought alongside. This time, he refuses to let history repeat itself. 

As rebellions fracture paranormal alliances, allies turn traitor, and reality-shaking secrets are revealed, the Order must face an impossible truth:
They are all that stands between survival and annihilation. And the rules of the game have to change. 

THE FAIRY MASTER CAPTURI: The Assassi Reckoning Trilogy Book 1

The war for the Sanctuary is over. The war for the alt-worlds has begun.

Five years ago, the Sanctuary survived its greatest battle. In the aftermath, the fight has spilled into the alt-worlds themselves. Under the command of an unlikely Master Capturi, specialized cavali teams now hunt the remaining assassi – rogue gods who escaped justice and continue to terrorize other worlds.

Once a minor player in the Sanctuary’s survival, Piper is now one of its most effective weapons. Bringing the assassi to justice has become her life’s mission – but it’s also her refuge. Because while she hunts, the fairies she left behind are floundering without a queen. And they want her back.

What they don’t know is the truth Piper is hiding – a secret that could turn her people against her. Can Piper hide the truth and lead her sisters by example? Or is she not a true fairy herself?

Meanwhile, on an alt-world far different from the Sanctuary, Namenye of Oak has her own secrets, and Piper is in for a surprise…

Dryads, naiads, and oreads – paranormals thought to be extinct – await Dax and Piper on this next alt-world. The assassi? She’s a goddess of immense power and cruelty who has tormented these remarkable peoples for centuries. Her Devout are forced to sacrifice dryads for their magic. Oreads who’ve escaped the goddess live as refugees. Dryad knights patrol the border. Naiads cloud their waters to blind the goddess’s all-seeing slave. With every sacrifice, the goddess grows stronger.

Piper, Dax, Namenye, and their allies – old, new, and unlikely – must find a way to unite the natives, capture the goddess, and end lifetimes of war.
