Synopsis

Rysa Torres: The Fate who will burn the world.

Ladon Drake: The only man capable of stopping the inevitable rain of fire.


Ghouls called Burners see Rysa as their savior. The past-, present-, and future-seeing Fates see her as the ultimate weapon against the coming apocalypse. And the Shifters just want her dead. But Rysa is much more than the overwhelmed young woman Ladon and his companion beast, Dragon, find. She sees beyond the weight of the burdens he carries: She’s his key to forgiveness.

Trilogy One of the Fate – Fire – Shifter – Dragon series pits Rysa, Ladon, and Dragon against the worst Burners, Fates, and Shifters on Earth—and their own demons. Will their love be enough to keep them alive?






What makes this series unique?

As young woman with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Rysa Torres, the main character of the FFSD universe, is unique among heroines. Like all the other people inhabiting the world of Fates, Shifters, Burners, and dragons, Rysa faces real, human issues with her real, human soul—and her real, human frailties. *
FFSD is also unique in that on first glance it looks like a paranormal fantasy universe, but it’s not. The entire world and all the power sets of the different character groups—from the future-seeing abilities of the Fates to the explosive blood of the Burners—are based on scientifically plausible rules. The Shifters adhere to the “T-1000 Terminator” rules of morphing: No mass changes, dead tissue cannot change, it takes time, applications of abilities produce heat, etc.  It’s a science fiction universe, even if the characters who inhabit it don’t know it. 
But the true uniqueness of the FFSD universe, I think, is the depth of the mystery driving the story. What do the future-seeing Fates mean when they say the see a burning world? What happened under that olive tree two millennia ago, when the dragons and the Progenitors first appeared? How will the selfless-but-hyperactive Rysa save the world?
Every action and reaction within the boundaries of the FFSD universe are woven into a vast tapestry that will take twelve novels to come to fruition. Not everything is what it appears to be. The characters’—and the readers’—understanding of what’s happening will change with each trilogy.

Fifth of Blood:

An insane Shifter stole Rysa’s talisman, jacked her body, and caused her abilities to nova. Now, she wastes away in front of Ladon’s eyes and he can’t stop the power that’s eating her alive. Watching her anguish triggers flashbacks. When Ladon’s soul ruptures, only Rysa holds the cure he needs. But she’s too far away to stop what’s eating him alive. With the help of the newly-healed, newly-invincible Derek, Rysa runs from the worst Fates and Burners on the planet as she desperately tries to heal Ladon—and herself. Can she solve their problems—and recover her talisman—before the long immortal find their prey?
