Feathers of Truth
Here’s what I can tell you about me:
1. I’m a homicide detective.
2. I’m a hitwoman.
3. I’m the last Phoenix in existence.
Or so I thought…
My life is simple. Solve crime as a Chicago homicide detective. Murder the targets my boss
gives me. Simple. I live a life of solitude and loneliness, being the only creature of my kind. I
grew up with an adoptive family, never knowing my parents. Never understanding how I
came to exist. Years and years of searching have put me no closer to the answers I so desperately
need.
That is until my newest murder case brings me face-to-face with a woman whose eyes
match my own and my newest target leads me to the answers I’ve sought my entire life. My simple
life will become a tangled weave that threatens to strangle me. For once, I’ll be forced to pick a
side — the enemy or my family. My actual family. My only question is, will I survive the raging
battle between the two?
Night Life
Noah Barrett is one of the youngest multi-billionaires the world has seen, commanding his empire behind the steel and glass of his skyscraper and thick-rimmed glasses. Custom-tailored suits and sleek black cars are just another blinder for what hides beneath the surface. To the world, they see a cold, heartless, business-driven man who only cares for himself and the bottom line.
The shadowy darkness of night knows a different Noah. One that dominates in a whole different arena. In the cage of the octagon, he is king.
Tinsley Lohman has done everything to escape the life she was left with, moving to Chicago the first chance she got. Her degree in business led her to Barrett Industries, her corporate climb impressive. When she gets a call from her long-lost sister that her mother needs their help, she'll scratch and claw for the money she needs.
Her answer found in the cage. A fight not only for her life but her mother's too.
Rise of the Grisym
Bryony Avalon should be dead.
Wielders can only be from the light or the dark. Never both. To be both is to be a Grisym. To be a Grisym is a crime against wielding law.
The wielding world has been turned on its head this past year. Schools meant for those born of the light shut down without notice or cause, forcing a mix of students to attend dark institutions around the world.
Director Roman Avalon has sent his daughter to the oldest dark-wielding school in the country. A place where Bryony can remain safely hidden while gathering the whispered gossip from her classmates and professors to report back to him. A place where trusted wielders can help her maintain the secret of what she is.
But the more time Bryony spends at the Beauxgraton School of Wielding the more her secrets will become known. The truths she and her friends thought they knew are nothing more than twisted lies that will put them all in danger.
Bryony will have to choose. She can either fight behind the man she has called dad her entire life or join a cause that will bring her darkness into the light.
