We came together because we write emotionally charged, morally nuanced, and thought-provoking fantasy books. Dark stories that can shine a light on our personal struggles and make us feel seen.
Something big is coming soon.

"If you haven’t read this series and you like epic fantasy, you’re missing out. The Malitu books begin with No Heart for a Thief."

Only a Grave Wll Do was my favorite book of the series, and I'm kind of sad the story is over.
Reviewing a book 3 is never easy, so I focused on the overall elements of why I liked the series as a whole.

Do you enjoy rage? @ajcalvin.bsky.social seemed to. Check out this amazing review for No Safe Haven!
Set in a war-torn land where the power of the spirits is coveted (and abused) by both sides, No Safe Haven by James L Dulin was not only an excellent sequel, but in my opinion, it was better than book 1.
