Juliet Wildfire Stone stands between two worlds. Her
eccentric grandfather tells her stories about the Great Wind Spirit and Coyote,
but he might as well be speaking another language. She’s started to hear voices
and see visions, but even they don’t make any sense. All she wants to be is an
average sixteen-year-old girl, but she has never been average—could never be
average.

She is the Chosen and the Seeker Slayer, and our only hope.

Recently transferred to an exclusive school, Juliet is
forced to choose between her new wealthy life and her Native American heritage.
Unsure where she fits in, she stumbles upon a series of murders. Worried that
her grandfather is involved, she discovers an ancient secret society, the Order
of the Twisted Arrows—a society formed over two hundred years ago to keep her
safe.

When the mysterious Seeker learns of Juliet’s existence, he
threatens everyone she loves in the world, willing to kill to have her.

Betrayed by the young man she loves, she must decide whether
to run or to fulfill her destiny as the Chosen.

Praise for
Wind Catcher
:

“Many young adult books revolve around young adult
decision-making processes, but the joy and excitement fueling
Wind Catcher
is that Juliet's search for truth doesn't end with its emergence, but with the
bigger picture of what she'll choose to do with it. That's the heartbeat of a
powerful saga that fully immerses readers in all the possible scenarios that
can stem from one's choices in life—and the reason why
Wind Catcher
stands out from the crowd.”—
D. Donovan

“
Wind Catcher
is one of the best thrillers for YA
that I have read in some time. ... If I hadn’t had to eat and sleep, I would
have read it right through without stopping. It is just that good!”—
S.
Price “Suze”

“What an amazingly unique story!! I can honestly say I have
never read anything like it! I loved the strong Native American themes running
through it as well as the deep plunge into the rich culture then and now. This
story seemed to quench my thirst for knowledge of the more supernatural aspect
to the Native American history and storytelling and I loved the creativity of
the authors. Even though this is, in essence, a young adult book, I was
literally kept at the edge of my seat while reading. The plot has some very
intense situations as well as mature threads running throughout the story. I
love that our authors see our “young adult” crowd as more than older kids; they
see them as very intelligent and can handle the more mature themes including
murder and secret societies. And come on, who doesn’t love secret societies?”—

In a world where water and earth teem with life, Serafay is
an anomaly. The result of genetic experiments on her mother’s water-borne line,
Serafay will have to face the very people responsible for her mother’s torture
to discover who she really is. But is she the only one?

Praise for
Two Moons of Sera
:

“The world building and population are mind-blowing. This
author has a real knack for creating new races, and even factions within each
race. And instead of any one people being clearly defined as the good guys, she
portrays the Sualwet and Erdlanders as two different groups of individuals
struggling against one another, both fighting for survival. There’s more I’m
leaving out so I don’t spoil anything, but the creation of the characters alone
is impressive.”—
Jessica

“I was instantly and completely drawn in to Sera's world
after just a few pages. In fact, my intention when I first started
Two Moons
,
was to just read the first few lines, to see if it would be something I might
be interested in, as I was already in the middle of reading another book, and
I'm generally not a big fan of fantasy. Well one hour later, my family was
eating a very well done dinner—I had completely shut the rest of the world out
to dig deeper into the lives of Sera and Tor.”—

Aberthol Nauile doesn’t know that he once led legions in a
war that had raged since the dawn of time, against an enemy that could not be
killed. He doesn’t know that he rode on a dragon with his father, or that his
mother died while giving birth to him. He doesn’t know that he once saved his
great, great, great grandfather by defeating the black enemy on the slopes of a
volcano.

Aberthol doesn’t know that he beheld the creation of the
world, as his grandfather eight generations before took the planet, ravaged by
a war of the gods, and began anew.

All he knows is that he awoke in a coffin deep within a
tomb, and now the whole world thinks he is their savior. All he really wants to
know is his name, and why he keeps hearing voices in his head.

Praise for
Shadow Swarm
:

“Having read other offerings from this author, I quickly
found myself fully immersed in the story, unable to willingly set it aside for
anything but short periods of time. The quality of writing was such that, as I
tell my students, I was able to “see a movie in my mind”; a key, I tell them,
to tell whether or not you’re encountering good writing. The development of the
characters made them believable, realistic, and genuine.”—

The angelic amüli race has spent thousands of years
perfecting immortality by binding their souls to human hosts. That tenuous
grasp on life is slipping because an increasing number of stillborn amüli
infants are born without souls.

When Marik’s daughter is born Unsouled, he strives to find
out why. Many amüli believe disease is to blame for the Unsouled births, but
Marik believes his half-human cousin Clae may be the real catalyst. The Amüli
Republic’s oligarchy refuses to take a public stance on Clae’s involvement,
instead instructing Marik to capture him in secrecy. Should Clae’s association
with the Unsouled epidemic become public, the amüli would rise against all
half-breeds and throw the Republic into chaos.

If Marik captures Clae and proves he is causing the
mysterious deaths, the Republic may flourish once more. If he fails, his people
will descend into a bitter civil war, destroying everything they have
accomplished.

Praise for
The Soulbound Curse – Part 1
:

“Not even sure where to begin with this book! I so loved it!
The characters are lovable & complex. I got so entangled in it! I cannot
wait to get my hands on part 2!”—
Kimberly

“Kira's use of imagery is nothing short of spectacular. She
was able to describe an entirely new world for the reader. The characters and
story lines were well developed and delightfully entertaining. I am astounded
by Kira's vivid imagination and her ability to create an new world, culture,
political structure, and way of life.”—
