TAKE BACK MAGIC

Diamond Universe: Sierra Walker Book 1

Earth’s magic was stolen.

She’s taking it back.

All Sierra Walker has ever wanted is magic, but the powerful mage who trained her as a child betrayed her, sending her back from a world full of magic to modern-day Seattle. So when he comes to her a decade later, Sierra glimpses an opportunity:

She steals his wand, and with it, she begins to steal back magic—for everyone.

In magical combat Sierra’s a force to be reckoned with, but she’s still on her own, her access to magic handicapped, with an entire world of mages now trying their best to kill her rather than share power. So when Nariel, a dangerous demon lord, offers his assistance, she can’t say no. But she also knows better than to trust her life, and her magic, to anyone else ever again—no matter how he ignites a part of her she’d thought long lost.

But as they race around the world to bring magic back while fighting for their lives, Sierra realizes there may now be two things she can’t bear to lose.

Diamond Universe: Sierra Walker is a fast-paced, action-packed urban romantasy series spanning the modern world and also other worlds full of magic, with a shadow-wielding demon boyfriend and a heroine who never quits no matter the odds and just goes harder as they fight to change the universe for everyone. Expect the heat level to escalate dramatically in each book.

TAKE BACK DEMONS

Diamond Universe: Sierra Walker Book 2

“They can’t keep you.”

Sierra successfully brought magic back to the world, but it’s left her with two big problems.

First, now she needs to steal Nariel back from the exile the angels forced him into to save their worlds. But she’s also in dire need of magic weapons, because the mages are doing everything in their power to take her magic and her life.

Both of those needs take her to the world of demons, where Nariel has his own ideas for how Sierra can get her hands on enough power to protect both of their worlds.

With mages coming after her with magic weapons of their own, Sierra needs every bit of magic she can wield. But she messed up before, and badly. So how can she trust herself to wield more power than any human ever has when failure would cost Nariel’s life, too?

Take Back Demons is the second book in Diamond Universe: Sierra Walker, a fast-paced, action-packed urban romantasy series spanning the modern world and also other worlds full of magic, with a shadow-wielding demon boyfriend and a heroine who never quits no matter the odds and just goes harder as they fight to change the universe for everyone. Expect the heat level to escalate dramatically in each book.

TAKE BACK WORLDS

Diamond Universe: Sierra Walker Book 3

“That’s why I’m here. To be the one person who will not budge.”

Sierra established herself and the world as a power to be reckoned with, and now her problems are as big as they get.

She knew returning to the world that betrayed her would be hard, but she didn’t expect the most powerful mages would work against her rather than with her against their common enemy, the most powerful beings in the universe.

With the angelic tyrants of the universe stealing a whole world’s power, Sierra’s magic alone isn’t going to be enough to fight them, especially since she can’t figure out how to make her magic work with Nariel’s. Sierra and Nariel will have to bring together more magic than ever before and unite down to their souls to defeat the angels before they can destroy all the worlds, and to finish what she started:

Taking back their power, once and for all.

Take Back Worlds is the final book in Diamond Universe: Sierra Walker, a fast-paced, action-packed urban romantasy series spanning the modern world and also other worlds full of magic, with a shadow-wielding demon boyfriend and a heroine who never quits no matter the odds and just goes harder as they fight to change the universe for everyone. Expect the heat level to escalate dramatically in each book.

THE SUNDERED REALMS

Sundered Realms Book 1

Liris has always been too dangerous to be allowed freedom.

Now she’s the universe’s only hope.

Liris has been trapped training as an elite spy her whole life. But when her elders try to sacrifice her to further their own interests, she escapes through a secret portal—only to land right in the hands of Lord Vhannor, the most dangerous spellcaster in the universe. 

Vhannor has dedicated his life to defending the universe from world-devouring demons, and Liris, with her unique knowledge of an ancient spell language, jeopardizes his mission. But when she uses it to help him close a demonic portal before it can destroy all life in that dimension, he’s forced to acknowledge he needs her by his side.

As they race between dimensions to fight their mutual enemies, they discover a plot that will leave every remaining realm in the universe at the mercy of demons. But to stop it, Liris will have to rely on the man whose icy gaze sees right through her… and when even her own people betrayed her, how can she trust Vhannor to stand by her when she risks the whole universe?

The Sundered Realms is equal parts epic fantasy and steamy romance in a world where being a huge nerd about language makes you incredibly epic at magic. This is an action-packed story about an interdimensional combat ambassador heroine and the most dangerous man in the universe devoting all his attention to making her unstoppable.

And to top it all off, the border protecting the remaining world from the magical disaster zone is suddenly failing.

The path she’d thought was clear is twistier than ever, but armed with her trusty tea set Miyara will fight to keep it.

But shocking no one more than him, he wants them—and her, with all her magnificent fire—to stay. If only he had something to offer her beyond choosing each other’s battles, because Kazuron’s enemies and the past he’d thought behind him are back and more treacherous than Jesra’s.
