“The Alt-World Chronicles” – Adult Paranormal Urban Fantasy Series

Book 1: ALTERNI

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

Esme’s ordinary Tuesday ends when she’s yanked into an alternate world’s Kansas City. No warning. No explanation. Just multiple versions of herself arguing in a bar, a demon made of smoke, and a very polite kidnapper saying she’s been recruited.

The secret Order that took her is losing a war against demons breaking through from another world. The Order needs an alterni, an alt-world version of the original Esme hero, to master powerful magic and stop the invading monsters. Unfortunately, Esme has no idea what she’s doing.

Her partner is King Owen Lord, leader of the Order. Neither of them wants to get attached—he’s already buried eight versions of her, and she’s far more interested in staying alive than falling for a king. But as they heal each other’s grief and distrust, something stronger than a partnership begins to grow…

Kings aside, this world has perks—werewolf police, vampire doctors, trolls serving the best barbecue in town—but none of that matters if the Order fails.

The rifts are opening faster. The demons aren’t slowing down. Good thing this Esme plans to be the one who lives.

Book 2: MALEVOLENCI

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

Esme and Owen survived the demons’ worst attack in generations. Understanding it is another matter entirely.

As the malevolenci return stronger and more cunning than ever before, the war fractures into something far more dangerous. Ancient tensions within the Order are rising fast. Alliances are shifting, and the Order is no longer as united as it once seemed.

Together, Esme and Owen race to end the war before all is lost. They must push deeper into the truth behind the malevolenci and their war, and this means chasing answers through 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 already-fragile Order believes. And for Esme and Owen’s relationship, some revelations might be too big to bear.  

Book 3: ORIGINI

The war is breaking the world, but it’s breaking Esme faster.

Everything the Order thought they knew has shattered, but the return of an old ally could be key to ending the war. Unfortunately, just as the Order finally gains ground, rebellion strikes. Traitors emerge. Those still fighting beside the king and alterni discover that malevolenci outmaneuver their forces at every turn. If the Order doesn’t strike a decisive blow soon, all their advantages will be wasted.

For Esme, the return of their greatest ally has rewritten everything she believed about who she is—shaking her identity, her place in the Order…and even her bond with Owen. As the pressure to prove herself closes in, even Owen’s faith feels fragile. Does he need her beside him anymore? Does he even want her?

Despite strains on their partnership, Esme and Owen 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. This final charge will force them to face invincible, merciless enemies… But the greatest danger is one they never see coming.

Book 4: THE FAIRY MASTER CAPTURI

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.

THE SANCTUARY WAR TRILOGY: Box Set

Secret paranormal societies. A Sanctuary at war with demons. A heroine determined to succeed where eight dead versions of herself failed. 

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 an ancient Order fighting in the shadows. 

Here in the Sanctuary, demonic malevolenci invade from otherworldly rifts, and the Order is losing the war. Every Chosen One meant to save them dies. Old strategies are failing. After eighty generations of war, they’re closer to annihilation than ever before.

Pulled from her own world as the Sanctuary’s newest chosen alterni, Esme inherits powerful magic to use against the demons. But while she learns to control this magic, the war rages on. Demons invade. People die. She must hurry to become the Order’s greatest weapon, all while navigating a world that expects her to die like the eight alterni before her.

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

As centuries-old paranormal alliances fracture and reality-shaking secrets are revealed, the Order must face an impossible truth:

The current generation is all that stands between survival and annihilation. And the rules of the war have to change.
