About the Books
Deathriser of Darkwood (Book One): From the Ashes
After botching a resurrection spell, the kingdom’s greatest wizard hitches a ride in Tera’s head.
Tera never thought paying attention in her deathriser classes was a big deal. After flunking her midterms, her mom finally put her foot down and grounds Tera. That doesn’t stop her from sneaking out to Summercloud Fair one night with her friends.
In a rush to beat her parents home the night of the fair, Tera witnesses the incineration of the kingdom’s greatest wizard. Thinking she’s about to become a hero, she attempts a basic resurrection spell from class, completely forgetting one of the most important rules—there needs to be a body.
After Aeridonis’s consciousness moves into Tera’s head, she learns about the true evil behind his death and realizes the new roommate in her mind is the least of her problems.
Thieves of Joy
It wasn’t until Tallis tried REM for the first time that he realized he wasn’t happy.
The average person might stop sometimes to smell the flowers, but Tallis was the kind of person who would even admire the weeds. To him, life itself was beautiful. While anyone else would see the city of Neuvale as dirty and chaotic, Tallis adored the buzz of life and the stunning sights around every corner. He was content, even though his love life was complicated, his professional life had plateaued, and his personal life would put just about anyone to sleep.
Desperate to make something of his life, he goes chasing love, success, and excitement. Along the way, he meets a mysterious and electrifying woman by the name of O. When she introduces him to REM, a drug that lets you customize your hallucinations, he finds himself unable to resist the temptation. REM seems to give him the excitement missing from his life, but it comes at a cost, and Tallis has to decide if it’s worth losing himself.
Eos
How far would you go for freedom? After a world war left the country in ruins, the survivors regrouped, creating four cities. With the population lower than ever, the prison system became impossible to maintain, so the city officials developed the Exile Town System… Avid—a literal dump for the thieves, Bellicose—caverns for the violent, Clamorite—mountains for the unruly, Delaisse—factories for the addicts and vandals, and Equivox—a lake for the liars. When a young thief learns about the Skeleton Key, a device that can be used to unlock anything, she can’t help but to go after it. But there’s a catch—in order to unlock the box containing it, she needs a key from each of the exile towns, which turn out to be far more dangerous than she could have imagined.
Fortitude
Eos and Zane agreed that, after finding the Skeleton Key, they would seek out the rumored city of free exiles: Fortitude. When the two venture through the New Territory and beyond its borders, they encounter more terrifying elements of the exile town system than they ever thought possible. Seeking out the city with the purple light, Eos and Zane recruit escaped exiles who join them as they encounter dangerous exiles, familiar faces, and careless partygoers. Armed with a couple of daggers and a device that can unlock anything, Eos and friends search for freedom only a place like Fortitude can offer. In the eyes of the exiles, Fortitude symbolizes freedom and hope; however, it turns out that Fortitude is hiding some dark secrets of its own. Join Eos on her journey for freedom in Fortitude, the second installment in the Eos Dawn Series, written by Jen Guberman.
Dawn
Raine Velora and the exile town system have taken everything from Eos. After a heartbreaking loss, Eos was pushed to her breaking point. Now, she’s ready to do whatever it takes to bring Raine down and reinstate the prison system. Faced with loyalists in the cities, sandstorms in the desert, and the horrors in her head, Eos sets out to spread the word about the corruption of the New Territory. With the support of the exiles, Eos leads the revolution, but Raine and her officials aren’t the only threat in her path.Join Eos on her journey for freedom in Dawn, the third and final installment in the Eos Dawn Series, written by Jen Guberman.
