“A fun romp for Twilight Fans” – School Library Journal
After being raised by the meanest fairies in the history of ever, Bryar Rose is now free to live her own life. For the first time, she’s attending West Lake Prep, a regular high school. Well, mostly regular. Some students are actually hidden members of the Magicorum. In other words, they’re really wizards, fairies, or shifters. Bry doesn’t mind, though. She’s thrilled to enjoy all the new experiences of being around normal kids her age, from locker pranks to lunchtime mystery meat. Everything is going along great, except for one thing.
Bry’s dreams about the pyramids of Egypt have gotten darker and more sinister. Every night, she sees her new man Knox and her best friend Elle in danger.
“Exciting and well-conceived” – Kirkus
With no other choice, Bry plans to leave school to explore the pyramids on her own. But her new man Knox discovers the scheme and is having none of it. He wants to stay by her side, no matter what. It’s a good thing too, because Bry must solve the mystery of her attraction to the pyramids and soon. Otherwise, it could cost the lives of those she loves most.
And that means not only Knox, but also her best friend Elle.
“Must-read YA paranormal romance!” – USA Today

Fairy Tales of the Magicorum, Book 2
SAMPLE: Knox’s Fairy Tale Life Template

Knox’s upper body expands. Fur erupts across his skin. His face elongates into a muzzle. His fingers lengthen into claws. I pop my hands over my mouth.
He said his life template was Beauty And The Beast.
This is the Beast.
Knox reaches for me. “Come with us to the pyramids or else.” I step backwards. My inner wolf whines in confusion.
“Why is our mate threatening us?” she whimpers.
“He doesn’t want to do this,” I say. “Not really.”
Grey mist has overtaken Knox’s eyes. Now, that haze swirls even faster. “Come with us or die.”
“Leave Bry alone!” cries Elle. My best friend lunges for Knox. My mate bats her away with one swipe of his massive arm, sending her flying across the room. Elle slides across the temple floor until her head rams into the far wall. A loud CRACK echoes through the stone chamber.
I race toward to her. “Elle!” Kneeling beside my best friend, I set my fingers on her throat. There’s still a pulse. I pull back her eyelid. Her pupils contract. I exhale.
Nearby, Alec’s features tighten with rage as he rounds on Knox. “What have you done?”
“She’ll be fine,” I explain.
“You. Hurt. Her.” Curling his hands into fists, Alec races toward Knox. I’ve never seen Alec go for physical battle before—he’s always reached for some gemstones. That said, I’ve never seen Alec this enraged before, either.
Alec only gets within a few feet of Knox when my mate strikes. Grabbing Alec around the waist, Knox flips the wizard over through the air. Alec ends up slammed back-first onto the temple floor. He doesn’t move afterwards.
No. No, no, no.
