The Serpent in Heaven

Kidnappings, an evil rich grandfather, and lots of magic.

Comfortably ensconced in the Rasputin school after a lifetime of poverty in the slums of Mexico, Felicia finally expects to be safe, well fed, and to hopefully learn enough to eventually be self sufficient. She may not like being a blood donor for the Tsar, but that price beats the alternatives she’s lived through. When she’s kidnapped and faces multiple threats to her life and to the lives of those who protect her, Felicia will need to look to her past for answers. Why would anyone want to kidnap her, a penniless orphan? With some help from friends, and with her own hidden strengths, Felicia seeks answers that may require revealing a few secrets of her own.

The Outlaws Scarlett & brown

The wild dystopian west (in Britain) with monsters.

She may be a ruthless outlaw, but when she happens upon Albert, sole survivor of some transit accident, Scarlett offers him escort to the next town over. What should have been a simple trip suddenly becomes lethally more eventful.

When some Russian wizards try to hire her for a job, Lizbeth must make several tough decisions.
