A narcissistic teenager who doesn’t believe in destiny.
A city under supernatural attack.
An adventure that unfortunately changes everything.
Sixteen-year-old Hamilton Dinger leads a charmed life. He’s got the grades for the top of the class, the abilities of a star athlete and Tetris player, and the charisma to get away with anything. Everything seems to be going along perfectly, including his plans to ask out Gwen Kessler, as he enters into tenth grade at Apollo Central High School.
Everything, that is, until a meteor crashes into the city, releasing the Seven Deadly Sinisters and their leader, Orpheus, from their celestial prison, and awakening Hamilton’s longtime dormant supernatural abilities. Suddenly Hamilton finds himself reluctantly allied with his self-declared mentor, Elysian, a changeling dragon, and Starry Knight, a beautiful but dangerous warrior, as they seek to protect the souls of Apollo City from the Sinisters and their evil intentions.
Can Hamilton give up his self-proclaimed entitlement to happiness in order to follow the call of a duty he doesn’t want? More importantly, will he willingly sacrifice all he has to find out the truth?

A human spirit banished to the body of a cat.
Cat Sidhe delivers epic fantasy from a cat’s eye view and a journey rife with predators.
Merliss lives with the local cunning man and is not very impressed with the latest apprentice, but she does what she can to train Saerwynn.
On a routine venture to gather herbs, Merliss and Saerwynn encounter a strange creature on the moor. It walks upright. It talks. And it looks like an oversized cat, but as Merliss can attest, it doesn’t smell like a cat.
The creature is a cat sidhe–a witch shifted one too many times into a cat shape. The sidhe is seeking slaves, anyone with opposable thumbs. Bones and blood are also in its sights. It soon has Saerwynn in its power and vanishes with the hapless apprentice through a portal.
Merliss faces a tough decision. Go after the sidhe and Saerwynn through the portal or warn the cunning man about the new menace afoot on the moor?
How long until Saerwynn’s blood is powering the sidhe’s malevolent magic?
But Saerwynn isn’t the only one in danger. The situation on the moor is far more dire than Merliss and her friends could have imagined.
As one reviewer writes, Cat Sidhe is “a big tale set against a small background, with an epic journey.”
Start prowling with Merliss now.

Having grown up in a harem as the favourite, if not dutiful, daughter of the ruling Godling, Airsha knew what it was for a powerful man to have more than one wife. But for her to have more than one husband, when she would have preferred none at all, felt like just one more way her fate was being taken over by a vengeful goddess.
Rescued by four legendary airling trainers when she escapes the harem, Airsha finds herself drawn into an uprising that has rebels planning to replace the Godling with the Goddess’ Chosen One: Airsha herself.
But having hidden her magic to avoid being castrated, sneaked out of the harem dressed as her twin brother to learn to fight, refused to become her father’s human sacrifice, and broken society’s rules by falling in love with not just one unsuitable man but four, Airsha was never going to willingly follow the destiny someone else laid out for her. Not even if that someone was the Goddess of all Creation.

Six powerful teens. A shared nightmare. One last chance to save humanity…
On the fragmented continent of Ialana, war threatens. The population has fallen into ignorance and superstition. A band of six teens, each driven from their homes by fateful events, find themselves caught up in the destiny of a mutant race enslaved by a despotic ruler.
Jarah, the sensitive and insecure son of a Meadowfield baker, desires a more meaningful life than to take over the family business. Unexpectedly, he gets his wish when an army recruiter ransacks the town. Along with Adain, his good-looking friend, and Blaidd, his nemesis, he gets drafted into the king’s army where they discover that Tristan, a soldier, is not who he seems to be.
On the other side of the continent, in a fabled city, Djana, a debutante is planning her coming-out ball. Little does she know of the fate soon to befall her and her family. In a hamlet closer to Meadowfield, 16-year-old Tegan must flee when the king’s recruiters pillage her home, while in the frozen northern territory, a feral clan girl, Kex, chooses an uncertain fate over a forced marriage.
The Six find themselves guided by a shared dream, a nightmarish vision that leads them into dangerous and unknown territory. Pursued by implacable enemies, the fractured band, at odds with each other, must discover their purpose and find an artifact lost 500 years in the past.
Will the team’s lack of cohesiveness result, once again, in the devastating failure of their mission, and the perpetual enslavement of a race of sentient beings?
The Six and the Crystals of Ialana is the first book in the Ialana YA epic fantasy series. If you like swords and sorcery, ensemble casts, and young heroes finding their way, then you’ll love Katlynn Brooke’s captivating adventure.
