Rona didn’t ask to be brought back from the Underworld, and now that she is alive again, she’s angry enough to raise hell. It’s a good thing too, because hell is coming for her. As the realm braces for another round of wars between the Gods and the demigods, Rona’s fate is entangled with the unlikely heroes responsible for bringing her back to life: a golem marked by the Gods and a man with the touch of destiny upon him. As this questionable duo heads out to face the unknown and stop the realm from destruction, Rona will be damned if they’re going to stop her from coming with them. Together, they embark on a quest to stop the war before it begins. For if they can’t stop the demigods, the entire middle realm of Terath will be torn apart, and everyone in their way destroyed. But the fate of the realm isn’t the only thing Rona has to worry about, because the past she killed herself to escape is about to catch up to her again..

“Wenstrom’s debut is the catalyst for a planned series of fantasy war tales, kicked off with this thoroughly expanded retelling of the Orpheus myth.” —Publishers Weekly Winner of the Royal Palm Literary Award for Book of the Year and First Place for Fantasy Torn apart by war and abandoned by the gods, only one hope remains to save humanity. But the savior isn’t human at all. Trapped by his maker’s dark command to protect a mysterious box, Adem—an unlikely hero—is forced to kill anyone who tries to steal it. When a young boy chances upon Adem’s temple, he resists the lure of curiosity and temptation, intriguing the golem. The boy and his sister convince Adem to go against his maker’s edict, leaving the refuge of the temple. But their adventure soon lands them in a web of trouble. Now Adem will do whatever is necessary to keep his new young charges safe, even if it means giving up the only thing he’s ever truly wanted . . . a chance at a soul of his own. “There’s something primal in Mud. It’s a reverent, mythical story of supernatural beings who justify desperate measures in their quest to feel complete. They struggle with emotions we all understand, even as they challenge the very rules that govern all of creation.” —Robert Wiesehan, author of Aurora Knights: Loyalties “I really like books about uncommon supernatural creatures, so, when I saw Mud had a golem as the protagonist, I jumped at the chance to read it. A well-written and enjoyable read.” —Metaphors and Moonlight.

Will they be able to find justice for the people and save their homes, their freedom—and their lives?.

This prequel novella to Mud by the award-winning author “combin[es] the lush charms of fantasy with the highs and lows of a tragic love story” (Readers Lane). In the beginning, everything was perfect, but something in the middle realm of Terath has gone terribly wrong. After Nia’s father dies from a mysterious illness that even the gods’ First Creatures cannot stop, she grows in isolation amidst the fear and suspicion from her village. So, when an impulsive moment leads to a passionate romance with an angel, Nia will stop at nothing to keep them together, even defy direct orders from the gods themselves. Meanwhile, the middle realm of Terath begins to show cracks. Both First Creatures and men grow angrier at the gods’ disinterest, and everything the gods put in order begins to unravel. When Nia’s angel steals magic from one of the gods to enchant her parting gift, it causes a rift that triggers a downward spiral. This novella is a Chronicles of the Third Realm War prequel. “Full of characters and plot that will keep you turning the page, and wanting more long after the story is finished. Five stars.” —Em Shotwell, author of Blackbird Summer.

The author of Tides delivers “fierce battles and passionate personal struggles . . . a rewarding escape into a very creative and fully imagined world” (HillRag). Being Chosen by the Gods doesn’t mean much when They have abandoned you. Jordan was raised to save his people from the coming war. All his life he has trained to eliminate the rebel army of demigods and demons foretold to turn the middle realm of Terath to dust. Now, the final battle has arrived. But everything that made Jordan special is stripped away—his prophetic ability to hear the Gods, his leadership over his people, and even his faith. As the rebels send a new threat—the most powerful wizard of all the ages—to destroy Jordan and the people of Haven, he has never felt more lost. So, when the golem who served as Jordan’s only friend and childhood protector disappears, Jordan ventures to solve at least one problem in his dark, broken world, even if it means breaking into the Gods’ home and hunting Them down. No matter the cost, he’ll bring back a soul for his friend . . . or die trying. “The finale delivers on everything the series has been building up to. It is dramatic, oddly sad, and gloriously beautiful . . . I do hope for more prequels, more sequels, more chances to adventure in this vibrant world and walk with these characters, who after this powerful journey, have become closer than family.” —Readers Lane “With each book, Wenstrom gives us more and more depth to her world and characters.” —Danielle DeVor, author of The Marker Chronicles.
