Reflections
I have to tell her.
This should be the time to disappear, now that we’re finally free of our enemies. And Emma has already seen too much of my sister’s and my illusion magic, and the world should never know we’re hiding in their midst.
Besides, we still have mysteries left about about why our family has always lived in secret, and where our magic came from. Old sins, and a long-ago threat that was once deadlier than any power we’ve ever seen, so it’s time for me and my sister to put those to rest.
And yet… I’ve never met anyone like Emma. I never thought that while I went through every face and trick I know to find our answers, I’d still be thinking of showing everything we are to a stranger. There’s no chance she could choose me and this hidden life over the life she has, even if my sister and I weren’t still on the run.
But I have to tell her. If anyone could make this choice… maybe all we need is a chance.
Unless the deadliest past comes after all of us.
A Darker Glass
They know.
All my life I’ve lived in secret, always changing my identity with my illusion magic and moving on without a trace. Or so I thought.
Just as my sister and I have begun to learn the price our family paid for that secrecy, she’s captured – by a group of conspirators out for the key to her magic. Or is it simply revenge they’re after?
Her message to me: let her die. Not a chance.
My only chance to save her is to play our enemies against each other… if I can outwit the tycoon who knows more about me every time we face off… and the police captain with his own hidden demons. And then there’s the woman who’s already risked everything to help me save an enemy of hers, and she’s one person I never meant to hurt at all.
For a man who’s worn a thousand faces, the hardest move of all is to earn someone’s trust. But with my sister’s life running out, I can’t let anyone stand in my way.
The Mirrorman
You’ll never see me.
Nobody sees us, only what we use our magic to show them. My family named me Nick, but all our lives we were raised moving from one identity to another, learning the arts of deception, observation, and the secret of illusion magic.
I didn’t even see that my own sister had survived, when our family’s one mistake got my parents killed.
Now, years have passed—years I spent thinking I was alone. Now I find Valerie again, living a life even better-hidden than mine.
A life that’s only revealed when she’s charged with murder. Now she needs her brother.
The real killer is out there, and he has no idea how many secrets, tricks, and magical faces I can call up to drag him out of hiding.
But… I’ve never imagined a threat like him, to our whole way of existence. Or that everything we know about our lives might have been deceiving us.
And it’s the things you don’t see that get you.
Roll The Bones
Fire before them – a phantom enemy behind them.
Only his fear magic can save them.
Adrian Corbin thought he was ready, for his first case against the darkest threats and the most dangerous arcane secrets in his city. Until the mysterious Maya comes to him for help against the pyrokinetic thugs that are stalking her – and an invisible, unstoppable enemy orders him to steal Maya’s own hidden magic.
Everyone he knows could pay the price, if he refuses to betray her.
Now Adrian fights through burning streets and forgotten archives, wielding the frightful power he won from the cursed tunnels that still haunt his nightmares.
To keep Maya safe.
To learn why she’s hunted.
To protect both her and the people in his own life… and discover who the greatest threat may be.
He thought he was ready. But you’re never ready, for when all the lies and the secrets of magic go up in flames.
The thrilling Corbin Cases urban fantasy series is about to begin.
A Bone To Pick
The magic to save lives – it’s what everyone would kill for.
For Adrian Corbin, not every case begins with fighting pyromancers or crawling through catacombs of terror. Sometimes it’s safeguarding one budding magician and his friends.
One who holds the secret of healing.
No magic could be more precious, for Adrian’s mission to make up for the lives he’s cost, or for the forces that begin to stir at the rumors of this new power. Protecting a healer means being ready for anything – even the petty grudges and lies that could send his charges running straight into the grasp of the flame-throwing Duvals.
Or the crime bosses that have begun to notice his work.
Or the woman who turned his life upside down.
To save a healer… Adrian Corbin knows how many people could die.
Running the Gauntlet
Too late to let go
Buried weapons of magic. A killer only they can stand against. Or does removing them unleash something worse?
Colin and his family guarded and managed the town’s historical house for years… until a thief with wall-shattering claws came tearing it apart in search of more power.
Someone has to stop him. Colin hunts for the truth behind that history, and the key to wielding a strange, shapeshifting gauntlet — against an enemy that appears without warning to kill anyone in the way of his power.
Someone has to stop him. But who is he saving from who?
The sister whose disappearance still haunts him…
The detective he’s drawn to, and not only because she knows the case all too well…
His old friends who have their own ties to the magic…
Or the truth behind the whole town? Which one is the real threat, and who is the next target?
Someone has to stop him. And Colin has to try – whatever the cost may be.
Weighing the Scales
No one man can stop him
A madman with invisibility armor. A girl clinging to life. Her brother will make any bargain to protect her.
Even Colin mastering his own shapeshifting magic armor hasn’t been enough to keep his sister out of the hospital. Eric’s coming to take her back, with armor that gains power with everyone he kills.
With the police hunting them all, Colin risks everything by trusting a crafty lieutenant who may have his own agenda. But Eric has allies of his own, as he draws closer to the final secret that could make him invincible.
A monster at Colin’s front, and knives at his back. Which way can he turn?
Taking Wing
The killer fights to save a life. The hero could lose it all.
Colin’s battle with Eric has left his friends dead, his face scarred, and his allies turning to hunt him down. All that sustains him are his skein armor and his sister, and Eric will ravage the town to imprison her again, all for a hope of healing her.
Two secrets change everything.
One is the truth about the skein magic, that could give Colin the strength to match his unstoppable foe – if he can keep Eric from seizing that too. The other could shatter everything he’s fought for even if he wins.
Now Colin gathers his last allies and all the courage he can find, to face a threat that no armor can shield him from.
Who can stop a killer, if the hero’s not enough?

But how can Mark’s flying magic track down an enemy who never needs to show his face?
Grounded
Twice Betrayed — Third Time’s the Spell?
Their last secret. His first enemy. Her ultimate choice.
Mark has one last chance to bring Angie back from the body she’s trapped in. But it will take more than the magic of flying to break free of the enemies around them.
Against the body-stealing killer that haunted Mark’s life and shattered Angie’s, their only hope is their bond together, and to show that sorcerer’s innocent apprentice the danger looming over them all. If they can survive the ruthless weather-witch that is chasing them out of the sky. If they can find the truth behind schemes older than their lives.
Torn between the puppetmaster and the force of nature, the last thing Mark needs is to face his own criminal father as well—but this battle will leave no one untouched.
The price for Angie’s humanity may be to let the whole city burn. Or it may cost Mark something more, if the decision Angie makes is the one he never saw coming.
