For those of you who follow me on social media (Facebook and Instagram), you might’ve seen the new covers I created for the prequel and the first 3 books in the series. I did this largely because I lost the artwork for the previous covers and needed to make a new, coordinating cover for Book 4! So, the existing books ALL got makeovers so that I could tie in the next book in the series, “The Fairy Master Capturi,” which I’m happy to announce will be released this June!
I also have 2 more books planned to continue the series, and if you want to follow my behind-the-scenes, random thoughts as I write, follow me on Bluesky, which I’ve entirely dedicated to that sort of thing. Additionally, I plan to start recording the audiobook for “The Eighth” and putting that up on YouTube, so please subscribe to my channel so you don’t miss that.
Basically, I’m trying to get back into the swing of author life!
For now, here’s everything there is to see for The Alt-World Chronicles!
THE EIGHTH: Intro to The Alt-World Chronicles (short story)
“I’m going to die tonight.”
Esme, the Order’s current alterni, wields magic she barely understands. This is not her world. These are not her people. Whenever she closes her eyes, she relives battles with a thousand malevolenci demons. And tonight, she knows this could be the end.
King Owen Lord is responsible for summoning Esme to this nightmare. It’s up to him to keep her alive. But deep down, he fears Esme is in over her head. They all are. The Order is losing this war, no matter how many cavali soldiers Owen leads against the demons.
When a malevolenci rift opens right on top of a treasured historic site, it triggers the worst battle of Owen and Esme’s partnership. Can Esme close the rift and stop the demons’ invasion? Or will Owen lose yet another alterni friend?
ALTERNI: Book 1
Ever have a nightmare where you’re naked in public? What if everyone else in the room was also naked…and also a version of yourself? That’s the reality Esme Kuchis finds herself in, and soon things get even weirder.
She’s not in her Kansas City anymore. This alternate world is home to an ancient, secret Order with a king, conjuri magicians, cavali fighters, and dozens of paranormal races. And the purpose of this magical Order? They protect an unsuspecting public from malevolenci, demonic beasts from otherworldly rifts.
As an alterni summoned to this world, Esme must partner with the king and fight using magic only an alterni can wield. Unfortunately, the model-perfect King Owen is broken by grief and guilt, the Order has little faith in her, and the malevolenci are worse than ever.Eight alt-Esmes preceded her. Eight lost their lives. Can Esme use her unique gifts to master this world’s magic? If she can’t, the consequences might be more devastating than Owen is willing to say.
MALEVOLENCI: Book 2
Traveling for work is brutal, especially when your job is hunting demons. Fortunately, Esme’s magic is now limitless. Unfortunately, Owen has his own problems. While he rules from the road, the paranormals within the Order grow restless. The jinn are dabbling in civilian politics. The fairies demand an impossible return to their home world. Rebel vampires claim the Capiti healers are slaves. Age-old tensions rise, and civil war is looming.
One thing might unite the Order – telling them how close they truly are to losing the war and what that will mean for the alt-worlds. But should Owen break eighty generations of secrecy? If the paranormals rally, Esme’s power will give them a shot at survival. And, if they find the malevolenci’s weakness, they could defeat the demons once and for all. How much hope dare they have?
With old friends, the queen mother, and unexpected allies joining the fight, Esme and Owen search for answers in ancient texts, dark caves, and blood memories… But some things are meant to stay buried. Uncovering the truth about malevolenci might win the war, but will it tear apart everything the Order believes?
ORIGINI: Book 3
Learing the truth about the malevolenci war changes everything. The fairies, jinn, and vampires have already rebelled, and now zealots threaten to go a step further by siding with the enemy. Traitors are everywhere. Covert plots disrupt centuries of peace. Those still loyal to the Order must end the war quickly, or else there won’t be an Order left to save.
For Esme, their greatest ally’s reappearance is soul-shaking. She knows they must work together, but what does this mean for Esme and Owen’s relationship? And what is Esme’s place now that she’s not their world’s only protector? Do they even need her anymore…or want her?
By invading the heart of the malevolenci world, Esme and Owen have a chance to end this war once and for all. Their elite cavali team is ready to face the dangers of the demon’s hellscape, but the greatest threat is one they never see coming.
THE FAIRY MASTER CAPTURI: Book 4
Five years ago, the Sanctuary’s war ended. That’s when the battle for the alt-worlds began.
Led by an unlikely Master Capturi, specialized teams of cavali use new magic to hunt their remaining enemies in the alt-worlds. For Piper, bringing the assassi to justice has become her life’s mission. But while she battles murderous gods, the fairies of the Sanctuary flounder without a queen. They want her back, but Piper holds a secret that, if exposed, would turn the fairies against her. Can she 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.
