OF SUN & MOON, Book 1
Read an Excerpt | See the Trailer
Keira Ryan is a guardian, a supernatural creature on which the myth of the tooth fairy was based. Not that you could tell by looking at her. She looks like any other high school freshman. She even has the same worries. Her best friend is dating a stuck-up cheerleader and she’s crushing on a junior.
But there’s more (there always is)…Keira finds out that she isn’t just any guardian, she’s the prophesied child “of sun and moon”, destined to bring about the end of the house of Gammen which rules over the Mogdoc Empire. Keira Ryan is a guardian, a supernatural creature on which the myth of the tooth fairy was based. Not that you could tell by looking at her. She looks like any other high school freshman. She even has the same worries. Her best friend is dating a stuck-up cheerleader and she’s crushing on a junior.
What’s a mogdoc, you ask? Think of a gremlin crossed with a swamp monster, then give it supernatural speed, agility, strength, and a taste for human blood.
Set in a picturesque rural, river town in southern Ohio, Of Sun & Moon has been described by readers as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Harry Potter.

Despite her readiness, the guardian elders are cautious. Watch and wait are their orders, but when has Keira ever asked for permission?

For hundreds of years, these dark woods have held a secret. Every living part of it knows, from the top-most leaf on the tallest oak to the tiniest earthworm needling through the earth below. They see them. They hear them. They feel them. They fear them. They are forced to watch with no way to scream out. No way to stop the shadows.
Senior year has begun. Keira Ryan should be worrying about the two boys that are vying for her heart. She should be worrying about Prom. She should be worrying about graduation.

In this fourth installment in the series, Keira and her friends race against time to rescue her charge before The Harvest. They must hurry. Their enemies are bringing forth a new force to sway the balance toward evil. The shadows are rising.
