The elements are waking. The primordial Guardians stir. Evil lurks in the shadows, waiting for the one person who can set it free.

Nienna’s ancestors labeled the Earthspark, and everything associated with it, as black magic. After she lands in the heart of an extinct lava chute, she discovers the fabled power is real. And that she’s the first one in over a thousand years to possess the cursed gift.

However, accepting the Earthspark means her family’s greatest enemy may be her only ally in the fight against the rising evil of the Fire Witch. With her choice in the balance, the fate of her people rests on the untried shoulders of Tellidus’s second-born and the infamous Guardian of Earth.

THE EARTHSPARK is the first novel in the Comstock Chronicles, a clean Young Adult epic fantasy that will take you on a journey of elemental magic, love, honor, and family. This book is for readers who love fantasy adventure, self-discovery, and a slow-burn romance.

Witches, Knaves & Fairy Graves by Ron Randall

Witches, Knaves & Fairy Graves by Ron Randall

Getting through a day without being attacked by Fairy assassins, mages or demons was becoming a rarity for Dalton Graham. Today was no exception. Ever since he had faced down the youngest lord of House Temil, using magical powers he never knew he possessed, things had gone from bad to worse.
His college crush’s younger sister, Kitzu, had been abducted by a mysterious Fairy sorcerer, and Umi couldn’t accompany Dalt to try and rescue her, since she was now the Guardian of Kyoto, and bound to that place.
The Sensitive whose help he was relying on to discover the identity of the kidnapper, was in a city whose magical adepts were being slaughtered by a creature hell-bent on harvesting their organs. Add in a Filipina siren with powers which were barely under control, a British mage with sticky fingers, and a witch with a demon on her string and you have all the ingredients to make Dalt’s worst day ever.

If you love the worldbuilding of Brandon Sanderson, the passion and intrigue of Sarah Maas, or the action and humor of a Jim Butcher or Kevin Hearne, you are in for a treat. Clear your calendar, slip into your comfy clothes, turn off your phone and revel in the fantasy for a weekend. Immerse yourself in the Magic!
