Aria Carmichael Series
In this new world, there are no rules, and there can be no mercy.
Magic has returned to the world on a tidal wave of war. Portals tore open the skies, bringing with them the Ludahl, a Fae-like race of beings from across the rift. Sheathed in synth armor and spitting deadly magic, they plunged North America into chaos and destroyed the old world order.
Almost overnight, dynasties formed Houses who elected councilors - the Assembly - to act as government. Humans quickly learned to wield magic, eventually becoming strong enough to negotiate the ceasefire.
​
Two decades later, the world is irrevocably changed, and Aria Carmichael, stressed about her uncle's failing health, does her best to live a simple life free from House influence. Sparring by day and bartending by night, she spends her free time hunting rift monsters for extra cash.
​
But avoiding the Ludahl has become near impossible. As tensions flare between the clans and council members, their presence begins to encroach on Aria's peace, revealing secrets about her past better left buried.​
​
In the end, she's left with no choice but to embrace her heritage or risk another Rift War. And if she falls hard for her devilishly handsome enemy along the way? No one ever said life was easy.

Book 1
In this new world, there are no rules, and there can be no mercy.
​
For Aria Carmichael, life is simple – she works at her estranged uncle's bar, hones her ass-kicking skills with her besties, and only occasionally breaks the law to make a quick buck. But when women begin disappearing, and her uncle is murdered, she's thrown headfirst into a world of magic, power, sex, and betrayal.
The deeper Aria digs to find the truth, the more entangled she becomes in politics dangerous enough to destroy the fragile peace with the Ludahl – the Fae-like beings from beyond the rift. The very same beings who nearly wiped them from the face of the planet during the Rift War.
In the end, Aria is faced with a terrible choice: do the right thing and let the killer walk free, or risk the lives of many for the revenge she so desperately seeks?
Book 2
In downtown Calgary, tempers - and buildings - are about to ignite.
​
Left reeling from her uncle's death and her friend's betrayal, Aria Carmichael is taking each day one at a time. Until she's fired and forced to take a job working alongside Caius Ossollo, lead enforcer for the Ludahl Empress.
The Ludahl ambassador has disappeared, and he needs Aria's investigative background and underground contacts to find him fast. But tempers are brewing on more than one front. The people are growing increasingly unhappy with the Assembly, and the Brotherhood are turning up the heat.
It will take everything Aria has to find the ambassador in time to prevent the ceasefire from dissolving. Even if it means finally embracing her volatile magic.
