Midnight Ride – Prequel; 50 pages
When eighteen-year-old Briar discovers that a midnight coach leaves Worthington Manor every week without explanation, her search for the truth unravels a legacy of dark rituals, ancient prophecy, and awakening supernatural abilities that suggest she was never just the reclusive manor’s sheltered ward — she was always its secret.
Pathways In Shadow – Book 1; 222 pages
When a ritual murder near Worthington Manor sends eighteen-year-old Briar to 1880s London chasing the truth about her missing parents, she uncovers an extraordinary supernatural heritage that warring secret societies would kill to control — and discovers that the only person who can heal the fracturing boundaries between worlds and rescue her family from a liminal realm is her.
Patterns Of Repair – Book 2; 306 pages
Three months after uncovering her supernatural heritage, eighteen-year-old Briar Worthington faces a threat far darker than before — the boundaries between worlds are collapsing, the Crimson Circle has evolved into something terrifyingly sophisticated, and the only way to stop ancient, hungry entities from conquering reality is for Briar to master both sides of her fractured heritage before the ritual that ends everything begins.
Foundations Of Light – Book 3; 199 pages
When a coordinated network of institutions begins systematically collecting boundary-sensitive children under the guise of education, Briar Worthington must evolve from supernatural crisis responder to strategic resistance leader — and when Dr. Burton and young Clara disappear into the web, saving thirty-eight children from psychological conditioning becomes only the first half of an impossible mission.
