THE RELIC GUILD
Magic caused the war. Magic is forbidden. Magic will save us. The Relic Guild is the award nominated first book in The Relic Guild trilogy.
It was said the Labyrinth had once been the great meeting place, a sprawling city at the heart of an endless maze where a million humans hosted the Houses of the Aelfir.
But when the Thaumaturgists, overlords of human and Aelfir alike, went to war, everything was ruined and the Labyrinth became an abandoned prison. The surviving humans were trapped behind boundary walls a hundred feet high, and all magic was forbidden.
And now the war is returning. The Relic Guild are all that stand against the end of the city. But they are old, scattered and weak, and the enemy is growing in strength...
Epilogue
The world is dead. Gone. Peeled away, like dead skin. Underneath, lies the nothing: a void between worlds, the sole occupants of which are malevolent shadow beings called glowdarks.
Only a select number of individuals possess the ability to peel their way into new worlds; they are the rippers. And Em is one of them. He can sense the "rips" scattered throughout each dimension and use them to peel through to the next world. But as Em and his group of survivors peel through world after world, battling glowdarks, zombies, and even gods, they discover that their world is not the only one that has ended. Everywhere they go, worlds are dying off, one by one.
And it's up to them to find out why.
If "The Walking Dead" were a young adult fantasy with dimension-hopping and shadow monsters, it might look something like this. Communities will be formed. Alliances will be broken. The road to survival will be paved with blood and entrails.
And death lurks behind every rip.

Demon and Paladin: Book 1, Human
When Felix Chambers's Master, a retired paladin who goes by Rose, disappears under unclear circumstances, she leaves nothing but a vague note. Felix, a half-demon whose residence with Master Rose had been kept mostly secret, must rely on two recently made friends for help: a grouchy orphaned rogue, and a bubbly pink-haired eight year-old seeress. When they are taken in by an organization dedicated to slaying demons, more questions are raised than are answered. Who is the strange man with horns Felix was confronted by? Where was Master Rose? What was this vision more and more seers kept seeing, a vision that implied Felix decided the outcome of an entire war? This wasn't just any war, either. The strange man with horns leads an army of demons on one side, creatures from the lower world of Aksen. The humans and archons are on the other side, from the worlds of Neska and Endivask respectively. As if this weren't enough, being the decisive factor of a Massive war was just one of Felix's troubles. After binding his soul to a demon in an attempt to protect someone he loved, he became half-demon and obtained a dangerous, unstable alter-ego--Void. His volatile presence keeps the demon slayers at the organization nervous and on edge. It's only a matter of time before he kills someone--or worse--and Felix has no choice but to be brought to the attention of the law. It's only a matter of time before he's exposed to a world he's not ready for.
