A Rebellion Leader
Civil war left everyone in the kingdom of Noxia both destitute and dejected, but Alora refuses to watch her people continue to suffer. Magic comes with a price, and with her power of illusion considered a rarity, she joins with the cause to assassinate the ruthless king. Alora quickly finds her plans derailed when she unexpectedly captures the king’s favored warrior and it becomes apparent that more than her freedom is on the line.
The Royal Executioner
With the power to destroy souls, The Devourer is as ruthless as his magic. As the king’s right hand killer, The Devourer must hunt down and eliminate every threat to the king’s reign. But when he finds himself captured by the very group he hunts, Kassiel will begin to question if his fate to be alone is truly set, or if his hardened heart could actually begin to feel again.
When the Stars were Devoured is the first book in an adult fantasy romance series following a broody, morally grey warrior who loses more than just his freedom to the fierce woman who ensnares him.

Sponsored Book Spotlight: Istanbul Crossing by Timothy Jay Smith

Description: Ahdaf’s reputation as a people smuggler has put him in danger once more. A Syrian refugee himself, Ahdaf earns a meager living in Istanbul helping others make the crossing to Greece – a perilous line of work, but no less so than what he would face if the truth of his sexuality were discovered by ISIS.
Yet when the CIA and ISIS approach him about transporting high-profile individuals and serving as a double agent for their causes, Ahdaf ’s life is thrown into turmoil. And when his feelings for one of his clients come to light and as another possible relationship grows, the decision is taken out of his hands. Now a new choice lies before him, between two men and two different futures – if Ahdaf will live to see either of them. Istanbul Crossing is a story of adversity, love, and the courage of an ordinary man who must brave impossible situations in order to survive.
