She plunged her blade into his chest, feeling it grind along his ribs...

Outcast swordfighter, Kyer Halidan, was abandoned in a cornfield at age three. Now, twenty years on, she's searching for answers: Who left her there? And why?

Kyer doesn't suffer fools, and when she kills a man in a duel, her life takes a dangerous turn. She catches the eye of legendary hero, Valrayker, and he pulls her into his company for a high-stakes mission to save a village. However, Kyer's past comes back to haunt her as she is stalked and captured by the allies of the man she killed. They will stop at nothing to find out what she knows.

Just when all hope seems lost, Kyer is rescued by an inexplicable magic that raises suspicions among her friends and enemies alike. As trust crumbles and danger closes in, Kyer must defy orders and challenge those she swore to follow.

As for her true identity, Valrayker has his own suspicions, but he's keeping those secrets to himself...for now.

Gatekeeper's Key is what happens when you drop Katniss Everdeen into Lord of the Rings--

a thrilling start to a fantasy series full of danger, intrigue, mysterious magic, scheming villains, humour, sword-wielding badassery, and dark consequences.

Don't wait, buy Gatekeeper's Key now before the price changes.

The sugar leapt up and twisted itself until it formed a castle with turrets as perky as meerkats...

Griffin's rock band is about to have their big break. But when her lead guitarist and soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend throws a drug- and alcohol-induced El Screamo Thrasher Solo Temper Tantrum, he gets the band kicked out of the gig. She is devastated, and minus a lead guitarist.

Enter the mysterious Rickenbacker, a restaurant manager with a tempting offer: if Griffin works in his restaurant making desserts, she can play in the house band, the Spurious Correlations, alongside Matteo: a super-talented lead guitarist.

What Griffin doesn't know is Rickenbacker is a competitor in an Other Worldly Live Action Role Playing tournament. In order to win the championship, he has just two weeks to push her to the limit with dessert-making mayhem, enough to drive her to perform an unthinkable task, all without letting her suspect she's a pawn in his scheme.

Griffin is yanked unwittingly into a frenzied fantastical world of music, magic and baking. She gets to make music with Matteo, the most perfect guy she has ever met, and she has never played with such a terrific band. It seems too good to be true!

But making desserts for Rickenbacker is a nightmare. Is Matteo worth it?

Well, he is awfully dreamy . . .
