Not all legends are make-believe…
Three years ago, Jessie “the Berserker” Noble was at the top of the MMA fight game, a world-title contender with a brilliant future ahead of her. Then the visions started and her world came crashing down. Hard. Now Jessie’s a shadow of her former self, taking no-holds barred fights in the underground circuit to earn just enough to buy the drugs she needs to keep the horrible things she sees at bay.
When a man named Dante Grimm tells her she’s the modern incarnation of a champion of old and that she and her soon-to-be companions are desperately needed to hold back the darkness to come, Jessie thinks he’s as insane as she is.
But Grimm’s far from crazy. There is a battle coming the likes of which the world hasn't seen in centuries, a battle against a foe straight out of their worst nightmares.
And for them to succeed, Jessie going to have to dive deep into the heart of the very thing she's been running from all this time - her visions.
Arthurian myth meets urban fantasy in this new series from Rowan Casey!

The Soul Eater Series continues...
Ace Dante is back, and this time he's taking on the God of the Damned. Why not, right? It's not like Ace's has a bad rep, or has lately become known as the godkiller.... Oh, wait.
What could possibly go wrong?
The Soul Eater series has been an absolute blast to write, and we're only half way through the planned 7 books. Take the grit and adult themes from my crazy scifi adventure series and throw it together with the typical urban fantasy thrills, and you get the Soul Eater.
With the release of See No Evil we see Ace on home turf (also known as the Egyptian underworld), badass tongue-eating demon Shukra has a choice to make that could save or condemn her eternal enemy (Ace - ahem), and Cat is trapped in the middle of it all, but does she have her own secrets too?
Hidden Blade is 99¢ TODAY in the US, so give it a try if you haven't already. Or borrow it with with KindeUnlimited or Prime Reading.
The Soul Eater will return as early as possible next year, but in the meantime I have a few projects to work on, including Chaos Unleashed, a new urban fantasy collaborative project (news coming soon), and more.
Happy reading everyone.
