Ross Lake was a small and quiet town, the kind where everyone knows each other. When Sara Jensen, a twenty-two-year-old graduate of the police academy, took a position with the Ross Lake Police Department, she never expected to see any action. Then one day, a couple of hikers come across a woman's body in the woods. Sara and her veteran partner, Harold Dunn, are thrown into a world of secrets and horror as they investigate her murder. Dunn and Jensen aren't the only ones who want a confession, though. A malevolent spirit is also seeking revenge and clings to the world of the living through the people it knew in life, but the police can't prosecute the dead, so Dunn and Jensen must stop the spirit to save their suspect.

Queen Sophie begins to suspect her consort, Bastian, may be keeping a dark secret. She still hasn't met his family, and he is always leaving for days at a time to conduct "business" on the mysterious island of Immernacht-a place rumored to be the magical prison of bloodthirsty monsters. Her suspicion grows when a body washes up on the shore near Blackwater drained of blood and she is forced to tell Bastian that her father, Leon Rend, is preparing the Silver Talons for war with Immernacht. Can Bastian prove his innocence to her, despite his family's secret, or will Sophie join the war against him?

“It says you will be the last king, and die over and again for the one you love, the one who will never bear your children in this world. Haros, one day you will sacrifice everything for your lover. Future, fortune, and name. One day… everything will change for you,” she said, reading the fine lines of his palm. He scoffed not believing a word of it, and why would he when his entire life was already decided? He was Haros, the crowned prince of Edithir, and anything but suited to take the throne.

Forced into an engagement with Princess Keirah of Ordaithahn, and burdened with her chambermaid, Mira, Haros must face the fate he never wanted and has spent his whole life trying to deny. When the Horsemen descend on his world, harkening the end days, everything changes. Will he choose to be the man everyone believes he can be, or is he doomed to sacrifice everything?

My life has been full of unrequested lessons. Some traumatic. Others can be described as torturous. But I have always learned something of value. I am a survivor. "Angst to Ascension" is part of my story, in poetic form. I say 'part' of my story because my story is still being written. But, no matter what life brings my way, I promise to keep surviving and learning. I will continue my ascension.
