The North Valley Grimoire
Summary
Magick is leaking into our world, and an oppressive government will stop at nothing to keep it a secret. Nineteen Eighty-Four, The Craft, and 007 collide in an all new, magical spy thriller from Blake Northcott, the international best-selling author of Arena Mode. The North Valley Grimoire is Kickstarter's number one most funded and most backed novel of 2018. Warrantless searches. Illegal surveillance. Prisoners locked in indefinite detention. It's all in the name of national security, or so we’re told. While the government expands its power behind a veil of secrecy, a complicit media remains silent. As the world continues to spiral, it’s business as usual in North Valley - a sleepy suburb known for little more than golf courses and overpriced real estate - until a series of murders casts a shadow over the town. When Calista Scott investigates the death of her classmate, she uncovers a secret the government has been protecting all along: Magick is real. It's the most dangerous weapon in existence. And the grimoire her classmate left behind is the equivalent of a loose nuke. “I love this book. Northcott has seamlessly shifted genres and proven she’s as masterful in magic and fantasy as she was in superheroes. Don’t pick this up unless you’re prepared to not put it down.” (Mark Millar, author of Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Marvel's Civil War) "There is world-building going on all throughout fiction these days - and then there is Northcott taking it to another level. Telling the story of a magical conspiracy through the lens of teen adventure, The North Valley Grimoire is what would happen if James Patterson and J.K. Rowling had a baby and it grew up to be a best seller." (Scott Lobdell, author of Happy Death Day, Uncanny X-Men)

Vs. Reality
Summary
In development to be a motion picture in 2016 (details available at IMDb) BSFA-nominated author Blake Northcott (Arena Mode) takes listeners on a scintillating, cinematic ride in her debut trilogy. Donovan Cole hates his life: his body, his job, his relationship - until one night a violent confrontation causes him to change, infusing him with supernatural strength. The mysterious transformation is temporary, though he soon discovers he's not the only one. Dia, an alluring but troubled girl with similar abilities, explains that a select few are able to bend the laws that govern our universe - essentially changing reality. She's still searching for answers, though she has a solution to the unreliable nature of their powers: "Muse", an experimental drug that enables the user to transform at will. And like most drugs, it comes with a terrible cost. Action-packed, enthralling, and endlessly addictive, Vs. Reality will have you hooked until the last word.

Final Empire
Summary
The Arena Mode Saga has over 500 five-star reviews across Amazon and Goodreads and is Kickstarter's number one selling science-fiction series of all time.
Around the globe, superhumans are fighting to the death. One-on-one battles are routinely breaking out in every major city from Toronto to Tokyo and Stockholm to San Francisco. No one knows when or where these battles are going to occur, but the result is always the same: The loser dies, while the winner is escorted away by an unmanned aircraft, eluding authorities.
Unlike the sanctioned Arena Mode events that have occurred in the past, these melees are wreaking havoc in populated downtown areas - demolishing buildings and leaving civilian casualties in their wake.
As the death toll rises, and governments scramble to secure their cities, Matthew Moxon - now trying to live out his remaining years in relative seclusion - is unwillingly dragged back into the spotlight by the mysterious game master who is using the entire planet as his battlefield.
Meanwhile, the death of Sergei Taktarov and the collapse of his Red Army have left a vacuum. Millions of followers, fascinated with the notion of demi-gods roaming the Earth, are desperately seeking a new spiritual leader, and a dangerous force is more than willing to take up the mantle.
As the Arena Mode Saga thunders to a conclusion, battle lines will be drawn. Friendships will be torn apart. And as Mox, Peyton, Brynja, and their allies face the most destructive superhuman the world has ever seen, sacrifices will have to be made - and not everyone will survive.
Discover the series that has been nominated for the prestigious BSFA Award (Arena Mode, Best Novel of 2013), has been ranked number one on Amazon in the US and the UK (Arena Mode, Superhero, and Dystopian categories, May 2015), and is currently part of the high-school curriculum in the state of Florida.
