Revival of the Fall

The monsters of legend are returning
and magic may be the only hope.

The Begotten and Blessed

Book One

Slinging drinks, breaking up bar fights with smelly conjured trolls, spying—it’s all in a day’s work for Esme Turner.

But finding out that the bloodthirsty creatures of legend were returning wasn’t what Esme anticipated during her interrogation of a fiery-tempered leprechaun.

In over her head against the burgeoning threat, Esme faces buried secrets, a leprechaun with too many tricks, and an alluring doctor who just might be a thousand-year-old Welsh demigod.

When a man-eating pishacha captures her friends, Esme is pushed to her breaking point, awakening infernal powers and a new source of fear equal to the malevolent threat: herself. 

Failure is not an option. If she can’t learn to control her inner demon, those she loves will be the next casualties amidst the surge of monsters.

For fans of mythology retold, magical societies, found family, humor, and a sprinkling of spice.

A Cold One - Prequel Novella

Book 0.5

Has Esme's moral compass finally broken?

Esme Turner navigates a double life in Seattle’s magical community, tending to the needs of svartálfar and human mages as a bartender by day, and enforcing the Assembly of Mages’ iron will by night.

When she’s sent on a mission to confront a master of illusion who has taken the privileges of his power too far, their violent confrontation forces her to reckon with the darkness rising within herself while shedding light on the voids her secrets have created in her private life. Unfortunately for Esme, she won’t leave her fights with clean hands (or hair, or clothes, or… anything).

As the line between right and wrong blurs, Esme’s moral compass is on the fritz. If she can’t find her footing, the real danger might not be the battles she faces—but what she risks becoming in the process.

Find out what Esme was up to before she learned the malevolent creatures of legend are making a comeback.
