IMMANENCE SERIES
Covenant with the Devil #1 of 3
Jovienne has trained to be a slayer, but first she’ll have to survive the test.
Orphaned at age nine, divine intervention upgraded Jovienne’s DNA and placed her in training with Andrei, a handsome but haunted recluse who taught her to kill. She excelled at every task, crushing hard and striving to impress him, unaware of his lies.
When her test is at hand, he reveals a partial truth that leaves her reeling. Worse, her demon opponent reads her mind and uses her tragic past and unrequited emotions against her. Unprepared for the non-physical aspects of this fight, Jovienne is overpowered. Desperate and on the cusp of death, her long-suppressed magic resurfaces.
Forced to do terrible things to survive, Jovienne struggles afterward. Without her consent, she’s been remade as an angel. This further enhancement makes her nearly immortal, but she’s bound in holy servitude. Forever.
A possessor demon, having heard she used magic during her test, comes to town and takes an attractive new host. He claims he can help her break her sacred shackles – for a price. Jovienne could have the freedom she craves but obtaining it would prove she’s the monster she fears she’s become.
Heretic's Penance #2 of 3
Jovienne and Andrei face a new battle – each other.
Andrei has embraced an ultra-religious mindset and sees her magical power as heresy. Jovienne feels so persecuted she leaves home. Still, she worries for his safety. Lucifer might retaliate over what she did to Araxiel. Or hurt Andrei to get to her.
Certain her magic can protect them both, if only she knew how to wield it, she turns to a local occult shop for help. Yearning to build a new life and make new friends, she accepts an invitation to join the shop owners at a gathering. Too late, she learns she has put them all in danger.
Worse, Jovienne’s fears were dead on. In her absence, Andrei has been targeted and the demons make sure he’ll never be the same.
Martyr #3 of 3
Jovienne’s freedom could be within reach, but first she’ll have to risk everything and go to Hell.
A group of demons infiltrate her zone plotting to force her into Lucifer's service just as her quest to understand her power leads to a shocking discovery that could shake the foundations of modern society.
Her fight for freedom seems possible, but only if she's willing to face Lucifer—an encounter she may not survive. If she refuses or fails, all of humanity will suffer. Making matters even worse, she needs Andrei’s help and the rift of resentment between them has grown wide.
Trusting him seems as great a risk as facing Lucifer….
This series is boldly irreverent and the twist in book three is mind-blowing. It has everything: angels and demons, ghosts, old magic and flaming swords, engaging and flawed characters, as well as universe-shattering plot twists. What’s more, it blends fantasy, horror, and science fiction in fascinating ways. This isn’t a pinch of genre crossover, this one packs more of a punch. If that’s not enough, there’s the author’s art inside (we at Igni House Publications hope you have a full color device) and a CD of music she wrote and produced for the series streaming on most channels! If you’re looking for a genre-smashing series where you can’t guess what’ll happen next, read this series. All of it. You’ll be glad you did.

Being a witch doesn't pay the bills, but Persephone Alcmedi gets by reading Tarot cards, writing a syndicated newspaper column and kenneling wærewolves in the basement during full moons. Everything changes when one of Seph's friends is murdered. The high priestess of the local coven offers Seph an unbelievable sum to hunt down the killer, and Seph enlists the help of her wærewolf friends--including Johnny, the hunky 6'2" leather-clad singer for the techno-metal-goth band Lycanthropia. The attraction between them is dangerous, but nothing could be as lethal as the showdown that awaits them.

Can Seph keep her secrets, including her connection to the master-vampire Menessos, from the terrifyingly wise judges? Once the competition begins, a finalist turns up dead. It looks as if one of the contestants is willing to do anything to win.

But that was before the fairies started demanding the death of Seph's frightening, unpredictable ally: the ancient vampire Menessos. Her mostly secret bond to Menessos not only causes serious strain on the budding relationship with Johnny, but, worse, if the other witches knew about the connection they could demand she be Bindspoken, locking away all her power--and a showdown with the fairies is growing more and more inevitable...

The ancient and incredibly sexy vampire Menessos comes bearing bad news: the vampire council fears he is plotting a power grab. To hunt him down, they have awakened a trio of truth-seeking vampire sisters so dangerous they are usually kept locked in stone. Menessos needs Seph more than ever. And she finds that she needs him.
