Kendrai Meeks was exiled from the American Midwest after college and spent two decades imprisoned in California's sunshine before engineering her escape. Since her first publication in 2011, she's gravitated toward stories where heroines sling crossbows, reality gets hacked, and the monsters are usually the ones bleeding. Her heart belongs to urban fantasy and science fiction—especially when wrapped in myth, history, and just enough snark to sting.

As a featured speaker on fanfiction, audiobooks, and serialized storytelling, Kendrai brings her obsessions with sound and lore to readers and writers alike. She's a world music addict, a reluctant traveler (flying is a necessary evil), and an unapologetic believer that the supernatural is just history with better lighting.

Her first trip back into the vreal opened Cindira's eyes to her own power, but can she master it in time to save her father and defeat the shadowy figure threatening all she holds dear?

The code holds the key to survival, and no one knows that better than Cindira. For years, she's used it to keep Gaia safe from the hackers and members of her own family who would burn it down to the source. But when her own stepmother enlists her help to find Rex Tieg, Cindira soon discovers the vreal's greatest potential, one which may put her square in a killer's path. New allies emerge to aid her quest, but could they be part of the forces she seeks to defeat?

Meanwhile, a frustrated prince demands resolution. Francisco knows he could secure Gaia's future if he were to embrace the very corruption he once swore to stamp out. Power is security, however, and all he has to do is grab it. But a vreal nation cannot rise on its own. He needs the help of a coding genius. He needs the bandit. Luckily, Francisco also holds the key to her identity: a mysterious glass shoe which only responds to his touch. Finding the woman who haunts his dreams means finding the woman who can wear the shoe. She is Gaia's future. But could she also be someone from his devastating past?

Isle of After plunges readers into a cyberpunk page-turner that must come to a head by the stroke of midnight. Jack in today and download the thrilling conclusion to the Enter the Kingdom series.

ONE MACHINE. ONE SECRET. NO WAY OUT.

Sebastian Archer swore he'd never jack in. Not after watching his mother waste away in a chiphead hospice, her mind lost forever in virtual paradise. Now he survives fixing salvaged jackpods for the forgotten corners of San Francisco-the old tech the poor can actually afford. Close enough to make a living. Far enough to keep his soul.

Then a client brings him a First Gen device. Top of the line in its day. Infamous now for one thing: killing its users.

The avatar he meets inside isn't exactly helpful. Then again, she isn't exactly an avatar. Once, she was human.

Harper's trapped, forgotten, and running out of time. And Plaxis Corporation will do anything to keep her existence buried. Including silencing the one repairman unlucky enough to know the truth.

Now Bas is running through neon-drenched streets with a target on his back, hunted by a corporation that logs every heartbeat and owns every exit. He doesn't want to tear down their empire. He just wants to save the one person who makes him question everything he swore he'd never become.

But in a world where they control the board, the code, and the rules-survival means learning to play a different game entirely. Even if winning costs him the life he knows.

LIVE FOREVER. OR DIE RELOADING.

IF THEY NEVER LOOK YOUR WAY, THEY NEVER SEE YOU COMING.

The Kingdom is the world's most exclusive VR platform where the rich, famous, and evil can cavort in a utopian fairy tale world. Little do they know that the code beneath their feet grows weak. The only thing keeping the platform-and all their secrets-secure is the tireless and unsung efforts of a single Plaxis employee and sole remaining Purusha Prime language programmer, Cindira Tieg.

For her part, Cindira couldn't care less if the Kingdom went permanently offline tomorrow. Only, the same source code that makes it possible also powers Plaxis's original VR platform, Gaia. There, war is waged virtually, saving the planet and humanity from ruin. It was the greatest legacy her mother left the world, one she intends to defend and sustain.

But when a detective from Authority shows up at Plaxis, demanding access to the source code, Cindira fears an enemy at the gate. In the real, Francisco Batista is a mystery, untraceable and without public record. The only way to discover his true identity and intentions is by going into the vreal herself. But when the coder confronts her mother's creation, she'll discover there's a lot more at risk than legacy. Making the wrong move could defragment the vreal and lead to her very real downfall.

MISTRESS OF CINDERS is a cyberpunk VR technothriller from the author of the bestselling RED CHRONICLES.

Omala Grover may have saved the world, and in doing so, doomed herself.

The Global Alliance for Intelligent Arbitration (a.k.a. GAIA) was meant to steer mankind away from real-world warfare, giving nations a VR platform where both diplomacy and combat could be conducted without further harm to the planet or themselves. What it's also done, however, is give Omala's ex, Rex, a robust system he can copy, dress up, and monetize.

If she wants to preserve her legacy for their daughter, Omala will have to step up to the battle prepared. All that stands between her and victory is Rex's new wife, the devious Johanna Tieg.

The Court of Discontent is a prequel short story to the sci-fi thriller series, Enter the Kingdom.

In a world brought to the edge, hope springs anew when all war moves on to virtual battlefields. But the rich and powerful, denied the source of their wealth and influence, won't concede with a fight. Can a lowly coder uncover the conspirators attempting to seize the crown and wrestle back chaos, or will the vreal world be her doom?

A techno thriller twist on Cinderella, Enter the Kingdom invites readers to explore a vreal world in which kings will die, magic is possible, and a little cinder can to grow to burn down castles... if you know how to work the code.
