Incursion

Published 15 July 2016

In a world on the brink of chaos, can love and destiny prevail?

Mages, held captive since magic first manifested in the world, seek to break their chains. Sentinels, warriors with an unnatural immunity to magic, are oathbound to keep the magic-users prisoner—at any cost.

Kali, an atheist mage fleeing her painful past, travels to a powerful healer in Whitewater City, hoping to mend more than her broken heart. One of her sentinel escorts is Stonewall, a man left with only his faith after the death of his brother. But when monstrous bandits destroy Kali's other escorts, the two unwitting companions must join forces to survive demonic creatures, bloodthirsty nomads, and a dangerous magic never seen before.

Meanwhile in Whitewater City, the sentinel commander struggles to keep control as the mages plan a daring escape.

Opposing worldviews collide in Catalyst Moon: Incursion, the first book an addictive romantic fantasy series where magic is new and a mage rebellion is on the horizon.

Fans of Lois McMaster Bujold, Sharon Shinn, Anne McCaffrey, Tamora Pierce, and Robin McKinley will love this engrossing, award-winning series. If you long for your next binge-read, but are weary of the grimdark trend, Catalyst Moon will transport you to a world of hope, love, and forgiveness. And, of course, magic, adventure, shape-shifters, and compelling characters.

Surrender

Nothing worth having comes easily.

Kali, Stonewall, and their allies have finally escaped Whitewater City. After curing herself of thrall possession, Kali is determined to save as many thralls as she can, so she enlists the aid of her sentinel and mage friends. But although Stonewall and his squad have left the sentinel order behind, they cannot escape hematite’s hold. And while Kali is no longer a mindless thrall, she cannot shake her hunger for the stolen power she has come to rely on.

Meanwhile, Eris is set on revenge for those she has lost – and those she must protect. She enacts a plan to destroy the sentinels, for good. But how far is too far in the fight for justice?

The harder our heroes fight their personal battles, the more they are torn apart. What happens when the price of freedom is everything you love?


Book 5

Shattered hope.

Monstrous thralls continue their relentless assault on Aredia, demolishing cities and twisting innocent people into demons. Mages, blamed for the thralls, are more feared than ever – even more so after the destruction of the hematite mine, which has crippled the sentinel order.

Hearts in crisis.

Bereft and blamed for the mine’s loss, Kali is brought to the capital to account for her crimes. There, she learns that to stop the thrall crisis, she must balance their strange magic with her own – at any cost. Trapped in the otherworldly realm of the mysterious Fata, Stonewall must make a pact with those he has sworn to destroy so he can return to the world—and the woman—he loves.

Freedom on a dagger’s edge.

The paths of fate bring together mages and sentinels, rebels and royals, love and fear. Only by working together can they heal their fractured world for good.

Opposing worlds collide in the final book of the CATALYST MOON saga.
