BOOK 1: THE KING STONE
FREE ebook for a limited time
Della Marshal doesn’t believe in magic. A top archaeology student at Oxford, she’s more interested in history, facts, and building a respectable academic career. All that changes when she discovers her professor is a murderer who performs rituals with other robed creeps under moonlight and sacrifices innocent people to gain access to ancient, evil magic.
Lucas Lancaster, a handsome and mysterious loner, insists on helping Della. He’s from an old wizarding family. After dark forces killed his parents, he vowed to stay away from magic. But magic chose him, and apparently Della too, even though she thinks all this is nonsense.
Despite their differences, Della and Lucas must work together to stop the cult’s activation of ley lines and their ultimate goal of apartheid and racial killings…
BOOK 2: Sacred Bloodlines
Dark rituals performed with royal blood…
Della Marshal still doesn’t believe in magic, wizards, or deadly curses. What happened to her had to be hallucinations. But when Lucas and Richard’s friend Autumn is kidnapped in public, Della can’t deny the trouble they are in is very real.
Autumn is a rejected illegitimate member of the British royal family. Since there are certain rituals that can only be performed with someone with royal blood, those from occult circles could use Autumn to warp magic and activate the power of ley lines for nefarious means.
No matter what she believes, Della has to help. And so does Lucas’s gorgeous ex-girlfriend Cassandra.
Della’s intuitive powers, her Talent, leads the crew to London’s Highgate Cemetery, home of the Highgate Vampire, and then underground in the Thames Water sewer systems to follow the city’s many ley lines.
As Della fights off the attacks of nonhuman entities to save her friends, she can’t continue denying that magic is real, and that she belongs in this world because it needs her.

To complicate things even more, their tour guide in Orkney is a handsome grad student studying folklore who immediately takes a shine to Della.
But Della is too distracted by the powerful earth energy of the ley lines warning of the dark events to come. Strange creatures and deadly ancient spells are in their path as they fight to restore natural order in the world without being noticed. Even if Detective Chief Inspector Matthews is on their tail…
