Kate Daniels
The world suffered a magic apocalypse. Magic comes and ebbs in waves, without warning, gnawing tall buildings into dust and spawning monsters. When the magic is up, guns refuse to fire and mages reign supreme. When the magic is down, electricity returns and guns can fire. It’s a world of shapeshifters and navigators who pilot undead like remote controlled cars.
In this world lives Kate Daniels, a no-name merc and a loner. She’s hiding in plain sight, but eventually all secrets must come to light and when hers burst into the open, it will change Atlanta forever.

Hidden Legacy
Hidden Legacy is set in the world much like our own, where over a century ago several countries developed Osiris Serum, a solution that awakened one’s latent magical powers. They gave that serum to everybody willing to risk dying from it. Eventually they figured out that giving humans ability to spit fire and summon monsters wasn’t such a good thing, but by that point it was too late. The magical powers turned out to be hereditary and now the world is filled with Houses, magical dynasties, who own businesses and skyscrapers, drive luxury armored cars, and grapple for economic and political supremacy.
