Dive into a new fantasy adventure

The end of college was too close for Kaiya’s liking. With no clear sense of who she wants to be, an afternoon in the forest seems the perfect way to consider the question until two things throw her world into chaos: a boy as lost as she is, and a destiny neither of them imagined.

Gifted with extraordinary power, Kaiya and her friends are plunged into the middle of a decades-old battle against the shadows. Finding the truth is as difficult as wielding one of the three Triad Powers, but with darkness spreading through Tynewood, hesitation is no longer an option.

In this young adult fantasy series about power, identity, and choice, the future cannot be postponed — and destiny cannot be undone.

Drifting in a Dream

Kaiya Parks is stumbling toward adulthood without a plan when an afternoon in the forest changes her destiny forever. Caught between the life she expected and the future unfolding before her, Kaiya is thrust into a world she never imagined.

As ancient powers awaken and the shadows begin to stir, Kaiya must make a choice: remain uncertain, or step into her role as a Power Wielder. With darkness rising and no time left for hesitation, the path ahead is clear. The time is now.

Falling in Flames

Being a Power Wielder was never meant to be easy. If Kaiya and Benji had known their first acts of heroism would awaken the Fragment Queen and unleash the seven deadly Shards, they might never have stepped forward at all.

Haunted by their mistakes and forced to rely on Ross as their reluctant mentor, the Power Wielders must confront the consequences of the powers they barely understand. As the shadows grow stronger, they find themselves racing not only against darkness — but against those determined to control the Shards for their own gain.

In this young adult fantasy sequel, power has a price, and every choice threatens to unravel the balance of light and dark.
