Gensokai Novels

The Gensokai series are all connected standalones. Each one can be read on its own without having read the prior books. Blade's Edge and Traitor's Hope are best enjoyed in order, as they follow the same characters and Traitor's Hope picks up where Blade's Edge leaves off. Sairō's Claw (coming Spring of 2021) follows new characters entirely, but occurs a few years after the end of Traitor's Hope (hence being book three-ish). 

Blade's Edge - Gensokai Book One


Finalist for the 2019 SPFBO Award

Two friends. Two forbidden powers. One chance to change everything.


When Mishi is taken from her orphanage home, she fears she'll never see her best friend Taka again. And when Taka is taken to the infamous Josankō that same day, it seems as if more than distance will keep them apart.

Suddenly alone in their fight to survive, each girl must come to terms with her true nature—Mishi as warrior, Taka as healer. Years after their separation, the girls’ journeys lead them each to uncover the horrifying secret that the Rōjū council has spent centuries killing to keep.

Now the Rōjū council wants Taka and Mishi dead and they'll have only one chance to save their people.

How much will Mishi and Taka sacrifice in order to protect all they hold dear?








Traitor's Hope - Gensokai Book Two


Betrayal of mind. Betrayal of power. Betrayal of heart.

For centuries the Rōjū council silenced all who opposed them, spreading lies and killing innocents, ensuring female Kisōshi were little more than a myth. Now, with the corrupt council deposed, the land of Gensokai reels, taking its first steps towards recovery. The New Council attempts to corral renegade allies, and Taka takes charge of a frontline infirmary, placing her in the heart of the battle. But to survive, she will have to rely on a person she cannot possibly trust. 

Meanwhile, Mishi sets out to lure a vicious band of mountain raiders into the open. Many have tried to subdue them, and so far all have failed. Yet she battles more than bandits. Her mind betrays her, and she fears it is only a matter of time before her kisō and katana turn against her too.

Surrounded by enemies and thwarted at every turn, can Mishi and Taka survive long enough to bring peace to their fractured homeland?








Sairō's Claw - Gensokai Book Three(ish)


When Kōmori pulls a strange sword from the corpse of a bandit she’s just killed, she’s mostly concerned with the fact she felt compelled to take a sword off a man’s body. But soon the compulsion pushes her up a mountain, to a strange shrine, and leaves her bound to a wolf spirit with questionable motives. That would be strange enough, but when she returns to her home she finds her daughter hiding, terrified, and her wife abducted. Kōmori doesn’t hesitate to give chase, but with a half a day’s travel between her and her quarry, and her three year old in tow, does she have any chance of catching them? 








Victoria Marmot Novels

The Victoria Marmot series are a tightly connected cliffhangerful series. They should absolutely be read in order. As they are all shorter novels (just marginally longer than novellas) I have combined all five books into an omnibus to save on both money and shelf space! It exists in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats. You can also still buy each book individually.



Victoria Marmot The Complete Collection:
Books 1 - 5



The quirky urban fantasy parody you never knew you always wanted.

Victoria Marmot is just an average teenage girl... if by "average" you mean an orphaned, multi-lingual, martial arts expert who owns her own home and may or may not have magical abilities.

When Vic is told her parents didn't die the way she thinks they did, her world is turned upside down and she's left with the task of finding out what really happened to them. But when her quest to uncover the truth reveals a massive conspiracy by a corrupt magical government, will her efforts save the world or take the whole universe down with her?

Read the entire fast-paced, humorous, urban fantasy series in this collection of all five books!








Victoria Marmot and the Meddling Goddess
Book One
  



Book One (Victoria Marmot and the Meddling Goddess):

Victoria Marmot is just an average teenage girl... if by "average" you mean an orphaned, multi-lingual, martial arts expert who owns her own home and may or may not have magical abilities.

When Vic discovers her parents didn't die the way she thinks they did, what little remains of her world is turned upside down and she's left with the task of finding out what really happened to them. But when her quest to uncover the truth reveals a massive conspiracy by a corrupt magical government, will her efforts to find the truth save the world or take the whole universe down with her?





Victoria Marmot and the Inconvenient Prophecy
Book Two



Book Two (Victoria Marmot and the Inconvenient Prophecy): 


When Victoria Marmot helps rescue her brother from a corrupt magical government she also unleashes a cadre unsavory characters, a handful of helpless children, and a dragon. Now, with the Ministry of Magical Entities and an obsessed vampire ambushing them at every turn, Vic will have to call on all of her newfound powers—and enlist the help of all of her new friends—to solve the mystery of what really happened to her parents before MOME can silence her and everyone she holds dear. 




Victoria Marmot and the Shadow of Death
Book Three



Book Three (Victoria Marmot and the Shadow of Death):

Vic is about to die. At best, she’ll die when the Ministry of Magical Entities finally puts on their sham of a trial and convicts her of a crime she only sort-of committed… but most likely she’ll die in the next flash flood here in this hellhole they’re using as a prison, or maybe whenever that shrieking squirrel demon comes back. Then again, maybe she’ll live just long enough to find out what MOME is really up to, and die along with everyone else if she fails to stop them.






This is the fourth book in the fast-paced, humorous,Victoria Marmot series and continues right after the end of book three. As such this description contains mild spoilers for books one through three.

Vic's getting a bit tired of saving the world, but the damned thing doesn't seem inclined to save itself.

Two days after MOME (the Ministry of Magical Entities) attempted to wipe out La Paz by weaponizing her brother, Vic finds herself in a dark alley with Sol, trying to find a backdoor into Unterberg. Why you ask? Oh, no reason. Just that one of the most powerful weredragons in the realms is being used to hold the world hostage, and Vic's best chance at averting disaster just disappeared without a trace. You know, teenager stuff.







It’s the final book of the Victoria Marmot series and shit is about to go DOWN! 

Dryer is still threatening to blow up the world, Vic has just uncovered a web of familial lies, the dragons are about to loose vengeance on MOME in devastating fashion, and Vic is sick of everyone’s crap and ready blow some stuff up. Or at least, she would be, if she could get out this damned void she seems to have trapped herself in. If you’ve read the other four Victoria Marmot books, then you’re probably dying to know what happens next. Don’t let this description get in your way; just buy the book and go, go, go! Everything gets resolved in the pages within. If you haven’t read the other four books… what the heck are you doing reading the back of book five?! Spoilers much? Go pick up a copy of Victoria Marmot and the Meddling Goddess (or the Complete Series omnibus) and start at the beginning. It’s cool. We’ll be here once you catch up. Promise.
