Covenant with the Devil #1 of 3
Jovienne knows what's right. Not because any doctrine told her so. She feels it in her bones. So when the lie she was trained inside of is finally exposed and she is remade without consent by angels — an act that binds her forever in holy servitude — that knowing becomes the most dangerous thing about her. More dangerous, even, than the magic the angels never saw coming.
Orphaned at nine, Jovienne was taken in and trained to be a slayer, shaped by a man she trusted, whose lies ran deeper than she knew. When her final test arrives, he reveals just enough truth to leave her reeling, which gives her demon opponent a disastrous advantage. It reads her mind, finds her grief and unrequited love, and turns both against her like weapons.
Instead of defeat and death, however, her long-suppressed magic resurfaces. She survives. But survival is its own kind of sentence. She is Abhadhim now. A destroying angel. Nearly immortal. And she never agreed to any of it.
Driven to gain her freedom, she explores her magic. Word of this spreads through the demon community. A possessor demon desperate to impress Lucifer seeks out Jovienne and makes her an offer: he can break her sacred shackles. For a price.
Freedom is within her grasp…but only if she's willing to prove she's exactly the monster she fears she's become.
"A unique and twisted journey of action, horror, and urban fantasy, packed with cool ideas. In a genre where so much feels the same, it's a pleasure to encounter a writer who has found a different muse."— Christopher Golden, New York Times Bestselling Author

Heretic's Penance #2 of 3
Jovienne and Andrei face a new battle — each other.
Andrei has embraced an ultra-religious mindset and condemned her magic as heresy. Feeling persecuted in her own home, Jovienne strikes out on her own, certain that her growing magic is the only protection either of them has against what she's already set in motion.
She finds her footing in an occult shop, new friends, a possible path forward. She lets herself want a life.
That was a mistake.
In her absence Andrei has been targeted. The demons made sure he'll never be the same. And her new friends are now in danger too.
Her magic is growing fast, but the cost is escalating faster.
Heretic's Penance is the second book in the Immanence Series, darker, stranger, and more unrelenting than the first. Original artwork throughout and a full orchestral soundtrack composed by the author.

Martyr #3 of 3
To be free, Jovienne has to go to Hell. Literally.
Jovienne has fought holy servitude, demonic manipulation, and the lies of everyone she trusted. Freedom is finally within reach, but a faction of demons is plotting to drag her into Lucifer's permanent service before she can grasp it.
Her quest to understand her own power exposed a lie Heaven has spent millennia enforcing. The truth would shake the foundations of everything humanity believes. The powers that built those foundations will do anything to keep it buried.
Yet somehow, Lucifer seems like the least of her problems...because she needs Andrei's help to get out of Hell alive.
Andrei. Who she no longer trusts. Who no longer recognizes what she is.
Trusting him feels as dangerous as facing Lucifer. But refusing isn't an option, not when the fate of all of humanity is at stake.
Martyr is the stunning conclusion to the Immanence Series. Original artwork throughout and a full orchestral soundtrack composed by the author.
