Series: Picking

Sophie has spent her entire life in her remote, mountain village—picking strawberries, caring for her family, and getting home before sunset. All she wants is to keep her family safe, well-fed, and alive, and she doesn’t trust anyone to do it except herself. Work hard, waste no time, and everything will be okay.

However, the nightsnatchers that visit each night want full bellies, too. Fast, strong, and hungry, they’ll eat any living thing. No one knows where they come from, where they go, or how to kill them. All villagers are trapped, fated to live out their days under the nightsnatchers’ reign. After disaster strikes, Sophie’s family dissolves into husks of their former selves, and she yearns for a life free of nightsnatchers. Filled with grief and regret, Sophie leaves her village for the first time, determined to destroy every last one.

Nightsnatchers aren’t the only creatures lurking in the forest, however. Spirits, monsters, and fae all call these wild places home. Exposed and vulnerable, she must learn which are friends and which are foes, all while battling the terrors within her mind. To find the nightsnatchers’ secret and survive the ordeal, Sophie will have to turn to others, leaning on their strength to forge her own.

Series: The Sunrider Saga (Book Three)

For death. For godhood. To feed our rage. It is why we kill. It is why we transcend.

Self-designated gods. Masters of the elements and mayhem. These are they: the Star-Children. Before them the world splits and groans. Nations collapse. There can be no stopping an all-out-war.

“A perfect mix of super-powers and fantasy!”

The Golden Agony’s maniacal plans are set. Anti-life prepares to cleanse Lenova. Not even the unity of millions can stop Mal’Bal. Not gods, nor kings, nor necromancy. But perhaps there is one last chance. There is a plan. It is desperate and dependent upon Finn SunRider finding the Splinter of Nullification. It is said it can negate the power of whatever it stabs, and the target is clear: the Lich-Lord. The journey is long and fraught with monsters and mysteries.

What of unreliable prophecies given by dead races? What of a shadow slithering within a dark world of dreams? What of the bracer upon Finn’s wrist, twisting his mind with fury and waves of heat?

While threats rise from all sides, maybe the greatest danger comes from one who does not wield an omnipotent power. Maybe it comes from a queen who has found the craving to reshape the world in her own image. Wahala is slowly unraveling the secrets of the bracers.

With war and ancient mysteries spanning lands of pure darkness to oceans without end, and from the depths of the world to the height of the stars, join in the exciting conclusion to the epic fantasy series that is the SunRider Saga!
