ASCENDANT
Book 3, The Made Ones Saga—Out May 15!
If you could be young again…
Would it be a dream come true or truly a nightmare?
For Sybelle, the youngest Balazova sister, awakening on the parallel world of Eleutia is no dream come true. From near suffocation to changes in her flesh, Eleutia seems a hostile place, though the world itself feels oddly familiar. Her resonance with The Kestrel, the mysterious leader of the CastOuts, only increases her bewilderment. Then Mother Tree appears.
As Mother pulls Sybi into her orbit, the controlling Alchemics continue to tighten the noose on Eleutia. War is brewing—no longer will Eleutia’s symbiotic animal clans tolerate the Alchemic strictures.
Could Sybelle be the fulcrum fated to save this strange world? Or is she merely a pawn to be used by the Alchemics in their battle for supremacy?
Even worse, Sybi’s tug-of-war may ultimately destroy her, the sisters she adores, and the man who has come to mean the world to her?
Or will Sybelle ascend, triumphant, and save all she holds dear? Ascendant, Prologue

Chest of Time is Out!
Chest of Time
When her teenage ward goes missing, Mage Clea Reese must confront a dangerous fae adversary who steals the Chest of Time - but not before an accident splits Clea's spirit and body asunder.
With her life now at stake, Clea's allies must retrieve the Chest before her physical form dies. For if the Key Mage falls, a new Key will arise - one whose brutal ambitions spell a dark end for humankind.
Clea's lover James leads the team on a quest that takes them through lands both Magic and Mundane to battle the vengeful fae and the deadly Union.
But their greatest enemy? Time itself.
Chapter 1, Chest of Time
She kneeled on the bank of a sluggish river the color of merlot, the sun bright overhead. It was there. She was sure. How she knew eluded her. Was it a call? A pull? A song?
Silence surrounded her. Not the caw of a bird, the buzz of an insect cut the air. Even the grasses on the small verge before the wood were hushed.
A Mage. A Monster. A Mission.
In a world blind to magic...
As magical and mundane worlds retwine, empath and unawakened Mage Clea Reese, must team up with the secretive and powerful James Larrimer to hunt her mentor’s killer and stop the forces of corruption from obtaining the elusive Chest of Bone, the ultimate source of otherworldly power.
Larrimer is a predator who stalks endangered-animal traders. Or so it appears.
None are prepared for the fusion of Clea's and Larrimer's song, a wild resonance which can bind one to the other.
Powerful forces align against them, and only Clea, the singular Key, and Larrimer stand between these malignant entities and their ruthless quest.
"The word 'former' sucks. Former friend. Former lover. Former astronaut. Former anything implies that the past was better than the now.
I don't believe that. All you have is now, and maybe a few tomorrows...if you're lucky." —Clea Reese, Chapter 1, Chest of Bone
Chest of Bone is a mystery wrapped in fantasy suspense, with a healthy dose of romance thrown in.
Much like Nalini Singh and Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs and Grace Draven—authors she adores—Vicki is passionate about the stories she tells, the worlds she builds, and the characters she draws.
The Bone Man!
