The Awakened World
3 primary works
Book 1
When she was five…
…the dragons first appeared.
And the world went dark.
On Awakening Day magic surged back into our world, plunging humanity into an all-new dark age. Humanity learned magic was real, and so were vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. That same day, military brat Angie Ritter discovered she was one of the few humans who could wield magic—if it didn't kill her first.
Orphaned in the wars that followed, Angie grew up among the Fey, learning to control her magic and fight with blade and fist, mastering the skills to return to her kind and serve as an army mage. But in the aftermath of a traumatic battle, Angie lost her magic.
And with it, her place in the Army.
Now, Angie struggles to survive within the walls of Sanwa City, surrounded by the wilderness and supernatural monsters of Southern California. She can barely take care of herself, let alone anyone else, but when her friend Erin, the youngest daughter in a family of tough werewolf shock troops, begs her for help, Angie has no choice but to throw herself into action once more.
Because a dark blood cult led by a powerful witch named Mother Smoke Heart is hunting werewolves, and Erin is her new prey. If Mother Smoke Heart catches Erin, she'll cut out her heart.
And if Angie gets in the way, she'll lose so much more.
Get ready for some more of William Stacey's exciting brand of magic, monsters, and military action! If you're a fan of non-stop adventure laced with the supernatural, you'll love this new urban fantasy series.

What difference does a week make?
Angie Ritter is a former army mage and recovering headcase who lost her magic. Seven days ago, she was struggling to survive as a normal citizen in a shattered North America. Now, she's on the run with a family of werewolf super-soldiers, a cult of dragon-worshipping fanatics wants to cut her heart out, vampire assassins hunt her, her own countrymen want to hang her for treason, and an evil empire plots to conquer the broken remnants of North America.
If all that wasn't bad enough, Angie is also possessed by an ancient entity of unimaginable power.
Last week was hell on Earth—literally.
This week will be worse.
But at least her magic is back.

Book 3
Everyone wants me dead:
A demon, a vampire lord, even a dragon.
Now, a new enemy wants even more…
From former army officer William Stacey comes Firestorm, the third book in an exciting new blend of urban fantasy and military adventure.
***
The war everyone feared has come, and leading the invading army is the only remaining dragon, the “Black Death.” If it’s not stopped, the dragon will slaughter thousands. Only Angie Ritter, former army mage and the first source mage to be born in centuries, can stop the dragon.
If she can learn to control her new magic.
If she can master the ancient entity possessing her.
If she can act like a grownup and stop fantasizing about the sexy were-jaguar she travels with.
And if she can avoid getting her heart cut out, or drained of her blood, or burned to death… or any of the other countless grisly deaths that await her.
Now, something haunts her in her dreams.
Something hungry.
