GENRE: Urban Fantasy

War. It’s here. The last war of mankind. The winner takes Earth as its prize.

My name is Alana Devereaux. I am an elite Cantati Forces Lieutenant from Earth’s desolate future. I was sent back through time to save your world. My mission to stop the Mutari faltered. Demons infiltrated our world when the walls between Earth and Infernus fell. Millions died in the first volleys.

The Mutari changed me on an elemental level and my new powers scare the bloody daylights out of me. Formorian Hunters are closing in on my trail with a singular goal, to enact the death warrant placed on my head by their Queen. Now I am running for my life, on a quest to discover a way to kill an immortal on a power trip, stuck between mortal enemies, and everyone else wants me dead.

Excerpt Ascended:

The Mutari changed me, contorted my abilities into something new. I felt stronger, had a keener sense of the elements, and noticed that the barriers normally locking my magic ability in place had been blown off their hinges.

My supercharged abilities scared the bloody shit out of me.

A flick of my wrist, and the wind outside bellowed and roared. I shuddered at the writhing mass snaking within me. The flavor stained with the dark. It was why I had detested Cade. A part of me had known he could help unearth these latent feelings. Dig them up from the grave I sank them into as a child. Yet the Mutari resurrected them with the force of an atom bomb to my system.

It’s why I excelled at killing demons. Why I alone could find them better than anyone else in my squad, because I was drawn to them just as demons were inherently drawn to me. It made me wonder if they had used my inner demon to track me to the Densare Compound. Maybe I should have taken exile in the Desert. Then maybe my guys would still be alive.

Was I something to be feared? Something that needed to be killed?

My father, and the rest of my squad, would be so disappointed. It made me sick just thinking about it. Almost like it was an affront to their memories. Darkness held sway across the globe for another forty-eight hours as Earth traveled through the galactic axis as the planets created an eclipse blocking out the sunlight.

Would my new powers help me defeat Drystan?

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Maggie grew up listening to Cardinals baseball and reading anything she could get her hands on. She remembers her mother saying if only she would read the right type of books instead binging her way through the romance aisles at the bookstore, she’d have been a doctor. While Maggie never did get that doctorate, she graduated cum laude from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with an M.A. in History.

Maggie is a bestselling and award-winning author published in multiple fiction genres. She also writes erotic romance under the name Anya Summers. A total geek at her core, when she is not writing, she adores attending the latest comic con or spending time with her family. She currently lives in the Midwest with her two furry felines.
