"...a vivid mythological setting that uses the gods to explore the concept of higher emotions such as love, family, and friendship." ~Liz Konkel for Readers' Favorite


"A thrilling ride with action, unique demon magic, and characters so real they leap from the page! I couldn't put it down!" ~ Alisha Klapheke, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Kingdoms of Lore Series


***

Hello, my name is Lil, and I can see the demon on your shoulder.


I spent years hiding my magical abilities, avoiding the whispers and sideways glances from former friends and suspicious strangers. They didn't believe what they couldn't see, and they couldn't see the spirits among us. I was alone, except for my brother, Ezra.


Luckily, I found my calling as a bartender in Laguna Beach, California, land of sunshine, sand, and surf. The Trident Bar is my home away from home, where I can admire the nerdy-hot yet sweet lead singer of the house band from a distance while I mix up some cocktail magic. For the first time, I can honestly say life is good.


That is, until things go sideways.


A woman nearly drowns. Ezra is missing. Demons are climbing from the ocean depths. An old lady gives me a magic napkin. And I'm the only one who can see what's really going on.


The question is, can I harness the elemental magic in my blood to stop it and bring Ezra home, before the primordial god of the ocean claims his due?


***
If you like your adventures shaken, not stirred, with a pinch of magic, a twist of myth, and a dash of mayhem, you'll love this contemporary paranormal fantasy series by Megan Haskell.

About the Author

Escape into Myth, Magic, and Mayhem


I’ve been a fantasy reader for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved joining extraordinary adventures in the written word, imagining myself alongside heroic men and women, fighters and warriors who strive to improve the world, or at least kill the bad guy. Ensconced in the safety of my bedroom, I explored strange lands with dangerous creatures. It was an addiction I was happy to accommodate, especially when my mom wanted me to do my chores.


Despite my voracious book appetite, I didn’t start creative writing until I was working as a number cruncher in a big accounting firm. With an hour plus commute by train every day, and a demanding left-brain occupation, I needed a mobile creative outlet. A pen and paper are about as mobile as it gets! As the pages began to fill, I quickly moved onto a tiny laptop, and a writer was born.


I wrote for several years during that commute, learning my craft and striving to become a published author. However, with a background in business and a desire to run my own business, I quickly realized I wanted to pursue the independent life of the self-published author. After completing several manuscripts that didn’t quite live up to my own expectations, I at last felt ready to publish my debut novel in Sanyare: The Last Descendant. The book would eventually go on to win a Readers’ Favorite Bronze award in Adventure Fiction and became an IAN Book of the Year Award Finalist. Needless to say, I was hooked.


Fast forward a few more years and I partnered up with USA Today Bestselling Author Greta Boris to co-found The Author Wheel. Together, we write non-fiction books for writers, teach courses online and in-person, blog, and otherwise try to help writers become authors and keep their stories rolling. If you’re a writer trying to navigate the writing and publishing world, please consider joining our community!


Nowadays, I'm a stay-at-home-mom who prefers a good story and a hot cup of coffee over doing the dishes. I live in Southern California with my wonderfully supportive husband, two daughters, and a ridiculously energetic dog.


Join me, and let’s fight some bad guys together.
