"When you walked into the classroom that first day and the lights flickered, I immediately knew what you were -- and I was afraid." His words made my breath catch in my chest. * Three years ago, Aspen (as she calls herself) awoke alone in an empty cabin in the forest, not knowing her name, where she came from, or where she was. Since then, she's been forced to live entirely off the grid, without gas, internet, or electricity. But this week has been stranger than ever, as Aspen finds herself dealing with tornadoes that appear out of nowhere, fireplaces that eject plumes of fire straight into her living room, and freezing bathwater that heats with a single, wishful thought. Even the college class she's auditing goes awry when the associate professor, Aiden, has a problem with her from the moment she sets foot in the lecture. When he confronts her after class, she panics, causing the ceiling lights to explode in a shower of sparks. That's when Aiden realizes what she is. Like him, this young woman with the strangely-colored eyes is an Elementalist; someone who can wield one, maybe two, of the five Elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Lightning. But there's something very remarkable about Aspen - she's the first Elementalist in centuries who may be able to wield all five, catching the attention of an ancient organization called the Asterian Order. In her mission to discover who - and what - she is, Aspen must learn to control her powers, navigate her budding feelings for Aiden, and unearth the startling secret about her past that no one wants her to figure out. * "This is contemporary fantasy + magical realism at its finest.

The Awakening

The Lightning Conjurer

I keep telling myself things could be worse. Okay, so my mom's been harboring some hefty family secrets. Big deal. And, yeah, maybe there are still two or three teensy details about Zayn that I don't know - his backstory, his private life, or his real name, for starters. Oh, and let's not forget that there's a bloodthirsty, power-hungry, magical mob boss who's due to appear at any moment. No biggie. So long as there are no more family bombshells, incubus-related heartbreaks, or unexpected, terrifying journeys into the Fae Realm, I'll be completely fine. Because, as I've already reminded myself at least twelve times since breakfast, there's no way things could possibly get worse. ...Right?

Jinxed

Fifteen-year-old Willow is terrified of her new baby, Lilah, who has a peculiar form of epilepsy. Every time Lilah's eyes glaze over, terrible things happen: flowers shrivel, food goes to rot - even Willow's long, auburn hair turns stark white. But it's the death of the family cat that becomes the last straw; in the middle of the night, Willow and her mother dump the infant at the fire station two towns over - and are never heard from again. The next morning, Chief Stanley Quinn takes Lilah home and cares for the toddler as best as he can. With medication, her epilepsy remains under control... For the most part. But as a teenager, Lilah isn't always keen on taking her pills, and when she sneaks away to a rock concert with the cutest boy in school, something terrible happens, landing both of them in the hospital. After Stanley breaks down and confesses everything to his adopted daughter, she decides to track down the young girl who gave her up sixteen years ago; the young girl who never made it home that night... The young girl who is now presumed to be dead. Soon, Lilah's quest to find her birth mother becomes a quest to solve a sixteen-year-old missing persons case. She has everything she needs to find her - she just needs to learn how to control her peculiar 'gift' before she kills someone. Again.
