Aftermath
Summary
Eighteen years ago, the world was unexpectedly invaded by dark creatures cloaked in black robes. They killed most of the world’s population and forced the rest into hiding. No one knows where they came from. Yet, seemingly indestructible in their wake, the world perished. Twin sisters Lyla and Lilly Langston grew up in the aftermath of this tragic event. To survive, they had to learn how to scavenge for food and supplies as well as defend themselves by training to fight at a young age. With a deceased mother and father, they were cared for by their grandparents. Now, their grandmother has died, their grandfather has been taken, and their supposedly dead father has arrived at their door, revealing that they are descendants of witches from another realm. As Lyla and Lilly discover and wield the power that has lain dormant within them all these years, they also realize the full extent of power the enemy holds. With the help of their new acquaintances, Lyla and Lilly ready themselves to defeat the dark army. In the meantime, Lyla’s nightmares of her mother’s death become increasingly strange as the dark leader intervenes, and she discovers there is something he is desperately trying to acquire from her. This unknown item will have her grandfather killed if she doesn’t do as he asks - but if she does, Earth may cease to exist.

Kingdom of Ash and Soot
Summary
Everyone lies. Prague, 1870. For the last 10 years, 19-year-old Eleanora Svobodová has worked as a servant in her stepmother's household. Along with her older brother, she dreams of the day they will be free to live life on their own terms. But everything changes when their estranged grandmother comes to Prague on behalf of Queen Victoria. Throughout Bohemia, a string of murders and secret whispers hint at a larger coup. As the leader of the Order of the Crystal Daggers, an ancient order of spies and soldiers that protect kingdoms and their rulers, Lady Penelope is determined to discover the perpetrators. Now, Eleanora must make the choice between a life of intrigue and saving the lives of others. Can Eleanora find a way do the right thing and still find freedom? From the book: “I want to be free.” The words came rushing out of me before I could think through their implications and consequences. “There are two things you need to know about yourself if you want to be free - what you stand for, and what you stand against.” Lady Penelope held up her hands, brandishing a pair of daggers that had been hidden in her skirts. “This world lives enslaved to its destruction, and so long as you are living, as long as you are fighting, you will be free.” I gazed at the daggers, transfixed. Each blade was clothed in a leather scabbard, but the silver and obsidian of the daggers’ hilts winked at me, as though it was calling for me. From the author: With a fun blend of historical fiction, true love, castle intrigue, and family dysfunction, The Order of the Crystal Daggers is my latest adventure series! What reviewers are saying: "Five stars!" (Readers' Favorite) "This story was fantastic! Definitely one of my favorite reads of this year!" (Laura A. Grace, Unicorn Quester Book Review)
