A Witches Tale
Rue Volley



"For a hundred years no one talked about it…all the people, mainly women, who had mysteriously disappeared in this picture perfect town nestled in between lush rolling hills and a lake that stretched out like the sea itself. No one wanted to remember that at one time, the ignorance of not knowing was what fueled the mob, and a mob it was, when provoked by bible thumpers and boredom." 

Meet Alexi, not your typical teenage girl, as she invites you into her world in the small town of Ravenswood. Alexi has suffered a loss, but despite her hidden sadness, she manages to find a shining light in the darkness as she goes on an adventure of a lifetime. Alexi is soon to discover her witchy past, and along with her best friend Logan, and the mysterious new boy who moves to town, Kyle Huntington, things are set into motion. Soon all of Ravenswood's secrets will be uncovered. "Stuff & Things and What Boredom Brings" is book one in "A Witches Tale" series by paranormal author Rue Volley. It is sure to delight with its humor and unexpected twists and turns. This story embraces witchcraft and other paranormal whatnots.

Beginnings

By Pyxi Rose



There are some losses you can't come back from...

For twenty-four year old, Tempest Ishi the sudden death of her twin brother, Rafe is one of those losses. Completely destroyed by this tragedy, she becomes more of a ghost than her brother; a walking shell of who she once was. With Rafe's suicide crippling her beyond repair, her parents fear losing another child to the darkness of depression. Faced with no other choice, they commit her in hopes of saving her, but nothing can protect her against herself. 

There is no greater hate than that of loathing oneself...

Leland Baladan knows that all too well. Being born of a race of sadistic killers, he wants nothing more than to be something other than his angelic brothers. Haunted by a moment of weakness, Leland needs to make things right for the girl of smoke and sorrow. Even if it takes losing his humanity, he will save Tempest from herself, from his brothers, and above all, himself. Because when the truth of what she is to become is made known, nothing will stop his brothers from taking what is his. Because with saving her, he could save them all...

***Cover Reveal***



Mel & the Black Rider: 
Short Stories from the Morus Chronicles

Join the release party on December 13. #CHBB


Cover Artist: Rue Volley





The Hunter Awakens

Book One of the Morus Chronicles
When thirteen-year-old Ethan Morus is forced to stay on his grandparent's old farm, he expects to find weathered barns, rusty tools, and a creaky house in need of fresh paint. What he doesn't expect is to hear a legend placing his family at the center of an ancient treasure hunt. Or find burial chambers protected by poltergeists, or a secret lair guarded by an ancient beast. And least of all, Ethan doesn't suspect that powerful sorcerers are watching his every move. 

They've found Ethan and believe he is from a line of treasure hunters who possess a rare instinct to locate powerful artifacts. Whether he has the instinct or not, Ethan is faced with a choice—search the Morus property and find what they want or lose yet another family member. 

"The Hunter Awakens was a beautifully written and creative tale which kept me glued to the pages. It swept me away on an adventure, into a unique fantasy world filled with dark and light magic. A place where many things are not as they seem. If you’re looking for adventure, suspense, and mystery, I definitely recommend you give this book a try." – Cameo Renae - Bestselling author of the Hidden Wings Series and ARV-3

Goddess of Fire:

Fire and Ice (Book 5)

JUST RELEASED

It all ends with fire and ice . . . Kenina is back in Osarious, and she’s on a mission. With the help of her mother, Neva, an ice goddess, she plans to reclaim Osarious from her father. But when Jack is kidnapped and handed over to Neveresis and her father, she makes the decision to go after him before the plan is put into motion. Will the elements of fire and ice be enough to take down the most powerful god in Osarious?
*****
Goddess of Fire: Burn (Book 1)

Even water burns if the fire is hot enough . . . Kenina, the fire goddess of Osarious, seems to have it all—a pampered life, the power to burn down a city, and a father who reigns over the other gods, but deep inside the flame, Kenina feels trapped. As her arranged marriage to Neveresis, a water god, draws nearer, she has no choice but to flee the immortal world to escape the commitment, even if it means disappearing into a world she despises. Together with Sarah, her faithful servant, Kenina crashes into the mortal world, ending up in Nevada, where she and Sarah are taken in by Jack, a mortal who shows Kenina there is much more to life than she thinks, including love. There’s only one problem, Neveresis refuses to let Kenina go, and he will do anything to reclaim his prized possession, even if it means destroying her and the ones she loves.
*****
Goddess of Fire: Smolder (Book 2)
When the fire doesn’t burn, it smolders . . . Just as Kenina, the fire goddess of Osarious, is trying to adjust to the mortal world, she is hit with something she never expected—mortal emotions. As her best friend, Sarah, returns to her family, Kenina is lovingly guided through these emotions by Jack, who attempts to not only help her understand them, but also, teaches her to control them. But when, Emily, Jack’s ex-girlfriend shows up, the fire inside Kenina begins to smolder, putting Jack and Kenina’s relationship to the ultimate test. As if dealing with Emily wasn’t bad enough, Kenina’s father shows up in the mortal world with Neveresis, and Emily becomes the least of her worries. If her father finds out about Jack, he will kill him. Now, her only priority is to save Jack’s life.
******
Goddess of Fire: Ignite (Book 3)
Fire doesn’t just burn, it ignites . . .
It’s been three weeks since Kenina, the fire goddess of Osarious, was forced out of the mortal world and torn away from Jack, the man she truly loves. Locked in her room in the temple, Kenina has no choice but to wed, Neveresis, the water god she despises. But as the ceremony nears, Sarah, her best friend, comes to her rescue. Sarah uses the hidden tunnels underneath the temple to free Kenina, reuniting her with her beloved Jack. Even though Kenina has managed to flee the temple, it doesn’t mean she has escaped Neveresis.
Kenina, along with Jack and Sarah, are now on the run, desperate to locate a lost portal in the depths of the dark forest. As Neveresis closes in on them, they end up trapped in the forest between his army and mythical creatures they never knew existed. Reaching the portal is their only way out, but it may cost them their lives.
*****
Goddess of Fire: Inferno (Book 4)
Inside every fire, there’s an inferno . . .
Kenina, Jack, and Sarah are back in the mortal world, but Jack is injured and unconscious after his ordeal with the manticore. To make things worse, they find themselves in a frozen tundra in the middle of nowhere. With the help of a native, the three of them are taken in, but Jack’s wound is getting infected, and he is slowly slipping away. Kenina must endure the elements of snow and ice to make it to the nearest village in search of medicine. Instead, she finds her mother and a town accusing them of witchcraft.
Kenina and her mother are racing to save Jack’s life, but with the villagers on their trail, will they be able to make it back to him in time?
