A Different Kind of Magic
Gorgons are terrifying beasts with huge wings, sharp fangs, and long claws. Though their blood is well known for its magical properties, few have ever faced a gorgon and lived to tell the tale. As a half-gorgon, Melusine is wary of her heritage, but doesn’t think of herself as a monster until after the Blue Kingdom raids her home and takes her prisoner.
For eight years, they drain her of her blood and dignity. When a group of rebel mages breaks into the prison, Melusine is offered something she can’t refuse; a chance for freedom. But there’s a catch. In return for her rescue, she is expected to help the mages seize a power they have lost. Doing so will likely destroy the Blue Kingdom. The chance to harm those who wronged her is tempting, but innocent lives will be lost.
After a warning from Kalais, the valiant but inauspicious son of the fallen North Wind, Melusine begins to see a different side to the mages. He proposes a secret alliance to help him reclaim his throne and Melusine gain true freedom. But the mages claim to have secrets of their own — secrets about Melusine’s family, and answers about her foggy past. As she grapples with the choice of who to trust, Melusine begins to wonder how much of a monster she actually is.

The Crescent
Lydia is happy thinking she’s going to be head librarian, she never dreamed of being the empress. On the continent of Ceirlonia, powerful crystals called Gems choose the rulers of the land by embracing them with magic. Tending books becomes a distant memory when Lydia’s ever absent mother visits with one such Gem in tow. With one touch, the crescent shaped Gem embraces her, and Lydia is hurled into an adventure she never asked for.
Trahern is a mercenary running from his past as a member of the Blades when he is hired to bring Lydia back to the capital safely. The Blades have acquired a taste for the Crescent and crave revenge on Trahern. Together the pair dodge ravenous gang members and face peculiar monsters – all of whom would gladly trade Lydia's life in exchange for the Crescent and the authority it represents.
But the Blades aren’t the only obstacle that stands between Lydia and the Emperor’s throne. Strange things are happening throughout the continent. Giant beasts are ravaging the land, and people are disappearing from their homes. The longer Ceirlonia goes without an Emperor, the more it changes for the worse. The clock is ticking, and the time to restore the continent to normalcy may be running out.
