Poison Study

How much is your life worth? In the territory of Ixia, control is maintained through the Code of Behaviour forbidding the practice of magic, but danger lurks in mysterious places. Imprisoned for murder, Yelena Zaltana's punishment is death unless she accepts the Position of the Commander of Ixia's food taster... and risks assassination from poison daily. In a world where magic equals death and freedom is for the lucky few, the battle for Yelena's life has just begun.

Magic Study

Confronting The Past - Controlling The Future. With an execution order on her head, Yelena escapes to Sitia, her birthplace. With only a year to master her magic – or face death – she begins her apprenticeship at the Four Towers of the Magician’s Keep. Nothing in Sitia is familiar, including her family, her magic, and a resentful brother. As she struggles to understand her powers, a rogue magician emerges, embroiling her in a battle against good and evil.

While the sinister Sitian council decides her fate, she must capture a Soulstealer, her dark counterpart, until she discovers a more dangerous threat. In the war between good and evil, there can only be one victor.

Night Study

A NEW DARKNESS IS RISING FOR YELENA ZALTANA. Kidnapped as a child, Yelena's life has always been perilous. The recent loss of her Soulfinding abilities makes her vulnerable. As she searches for a way to reclaim her powers, neither Ixia nor Sitia is safe. With the threat of war looming, Yelena must find a new way to fight the dark.

Dawn Study

Despite the odds, Yelena and Valek have forged an irrevocable bond and a family that transcends borders. As their homelands stand on the brink of war, they must thwart an Ixian plot to invade Sitia. Yelena seeks to break the hold of Theobroma, which destroys resistance to magical persuasion. With bounty hunters after her, she makes a dangerous deal. Valek uncovers layers of betrayal surrounding the Commander, revealing a powerful magician at the core. The fate of all rests upon two
