This Week’s New Releases

Title: Crowned in Flame and Oath
Series: The Firebound Chronicles Book 3
Release Date: 02/17/2025

A witch’s flame could save the realm… or burn it all.

Celina wields fire with a fury born of vengeance. When a forbidden blood-pact binds her to Prince Aremus—the very heir whose runic magic once hunted her kind—their shared power ignites an impossible connection that neither magic nor vengeance can sever.

An ancient sorcerer has returned from exile, corrupting the sacred Wellspring that powers all magic.

Celina and Aremus must choose to cling to their hatred or forge an alliance strong enough to heal a broken realm. As their reluctant partnership blooms into something deeper, they face an impossible choice. Trust each other completely, or watch their kingdom fall to darkness.

Each passing hour brings fresh horrors.

The Wellspring’s corruption seeps through ancient wards, turning every spell into a potential catastrophe. And beneath it all, a deeper truth emerges: if Celina and Aremus cannot overcome centuries of bloodshed between their peoples, the realm itself will shatter.

The fate of Sarindiel hangs by a thread. Can the flames of vengeance be transformed into love strong enough to save a kingdom? Or will ancient hatreds reduce everything they hold dear to ashes?

Journey into a world where forbidden magic meets royal intrigue, and the flames of revenge must choose between consuming the past or illuminating a future worth fighting for.

Title: Damned and Dangerous Together
Series: The Damned Journals Book 2
Release Date: 02/17/2025

Katie Maddison didn’t want to know demons existed, let alone learn how to kick their asses.

That changed when she became one of the Damned. Now she and her resident demon Pandora need to work out a truce if they want to survive.

Easier said than done when Pandora keeps pushing Katie’s buttons. However, Katie is no longer a newbie. She can hold her own, and she’s playing a vital role on her elite Damned demon-fighting team.

After Katie encounters a young blacksmith selling weapons with an unusual effect on demons, she buys him out and hires him to produce more.

The problem is, the government will want him, his secret to making them, and Katie’s new business if they learn about it.

When the team receives intel about a major incursion planned for the Western United States, even Pandora gets stressed.

Katie’s new weapons could improve the team’s odds, but this will be their trial by fire.

These private, unfiltered journal entries reveal the pair’s internal clashes and shed light on their admittedly reluctant coexistence as they deal with other Damned and demons. – the System, a cosmic entity
