“The Alt-World Chronicles” – 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 invading through otherworldly rifts, and the ancient Order sworn to stop them is running out of time.

Terrifying? Sure. But it’s way more interesting than her old life.

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 sees.

The Order summoned Esme for one reason:  She’s an alterni, an alt-world version of the original Esme who fought to save them. Only alterni can wield magic powerful enough to fight the malevolenci. The problem? Eight alterni came before her. Eight are dead. And now it’s Esme’s turn to master complex magic and become the Order’s greatest weapon before the Sanctuary is destroyed.

Partnered with King Owen, the charming but broken ruler haunted by alterni he’s already lost, Esme is determined to succeed where her eight dead predecessors failed. But as malevolenci attacks escalate and the Order rushes her training, 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, and no one believes she’ll survive either.

But the Order is out of time. If Esme fails, so will the Sanctuary—and the unchecked demons will destroy everything they’ve fought to protect.

No pressure.

MALEVOLENCI: The Sanctuary War Trilogy Book 2

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

The malevolenci that nearly destroyed the Sanctuary in Alterni are back, stronger and more cunning than before.

Magic is no longer new to Esme—it’s limitless. Unfortunately, though she’s now won their respect, 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. Far too used to the unending war, the paranormals’ focus shifts to ancient tensions, and whispers of rebellion sweep through the Order.

But nothing could prepare them for the truth waiting beneath tradition and history. This war isn’t only about the Sanctuary—it’s a battle for all of creation. And the origins of this war could point the way to its end.

Desperate to rally and end the war at last, Esme and Owen draw old friends and unexpected allies into a search for answers 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 already-fragile 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 her very existence. 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 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. 

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.

SIRENS AND ASSASSI: The Assassi Reckoning Trilogy Book 2

Women are being murdered. Sirens are blamed. Age-old prejudice may turn deadly…and the assassi is loving it.

Piper, Dax, Dylan, and Max have settled into a rhythm: scout the alt-worlds, investigate the target, hunt the assassi, bring them home for execution, rest, and repeat.

But calm seas never last.

When an assassi murders two of their own, Piper is truly afraid for the first time in years. This unknown assassi wields a horrifying curse forged by Poseidon to use against women—especially winged women—and hides among pirate-infested islands where sea monsters lurk on the horizon and misogyny runs deeper than the reefs.

Despite these fears, Piper and Dylan are determined to find their friends’ killer before more bodies are cast upon the shores. And if a captured goddess is right, they can save the winged women of this alt-world in more ways than one…

In the skies of this Caribbean world, Poseidon-cursed sirens fly on Persephone-blessed wings and yearn for a life where men no longer control their fate. If their song fails to lure a mate, they sink beneath the waves to become bloodthirsty mermaids. The few who escape their curse and become siren wives are often distrusted as lying temptresses, despite the good luck their wings bestow.

As murders rise, old prejudices become new persecution. Poseidon’s faithful turn on the sirens, blaming them for the deaths—and perhaps taking their cue from Poseidon himself.

Only Barth, a man forever cursed with bad luck, can prove the sirens’ innocence. Working secretly against a conniving merchant and a self-righteous widow hell-bent on destroying the sirens, Barth guides Piper and her Sanctuary team’s hunt for the real enemy: the elusive, women-killing assassi prowling the islands’ shallows.

But luck is not on their side. And even the lucky can fall before the curse of a god.
