About Killing Game:

Nightmares of fire and blood are all Desiree has to explain waking up changed. Supernaturally fast and strong, she has no memory of what happened or who’s responsible. Thinking herself safe, she focuses on making a simple life for herself...
…but the thing that did this isn’t willing to let her go.
An attack on her life by a creature of fiction is only the first. Confused and angry, Dee knows this forgotten past has caught up to her. Questions she’s avoided rule her thoughts. With no way to find answers, can she survive?
The arrival of a mysterious stranger brings the answers she craves, but is he too good to be true? Is it safer to get rid of him? If he can show her how to stay alive, it’s worth the risk.
Hamal breaks his own rules by coming to Dee’s aid. His mission was to watch, not interfere. But there’s something about her worth putting his reputation on the line. He knows she’ll need all the help he can give.
Thrown into a world of immortals—some friends, some enemies—Dee must decide what price she’ll pay for answers or if it’s better to just run. Little does she know, one holds the answers to her past—a Rishi whose wish started it all.

Rishi's Wish Complete Omnibus

Rishi's Wish, books 4 & 5
Born to Die and The End of Dying

Born to Die:

Free. That’s all Dee’s ever wanted. That, and to know.

The knowing came with a cost, but she’s paid it. Her eyes are open. She’s conquered her demons. It’s time to start a life.
But she doesn't see as much as she thinks.

Leaving Hamal and her army behind puts them in a scramble, forcing them straight into a trap designed for her. Unsure where his charge is, Hamal bluffs his way from war. Except the only way through this trap is to spring it. When Dee reemerges, ready for action, Hamal's unwilling to sacrifice her. Not even he can stop her from the path she's set herself on.

Her decisions will cost more than she's paid to date, leaving everyone vulnerable. When she wakes in the aftermath, she'll find she needs to dig deeper than ever. Every step she takes is a step toward death. Despite her great power, she wonders if maybe she wasn’t Born To Die.

Parts I-IX (books 1-3) of the Rishi's Wish Series in one edition. Catch up on Desiree's adventure before the next arrives!

KILLING GAME

If you love the idea of Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan in a world similar to Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this is an adventure for you.

Dee doesn’t remember much before she crawled to her best friend, Mike’s doorstep, battered and bloody. She doesn’t remember what happened that made her supernaturally fast and strong. She just knows digging into those memories is too painful. Her friends are gone—probably dead—and she doesn’t want to think that she had anything to do with it.

But the thing that did this isn’t willing to let her go.

An attack on her life means she can’t keep hiding. A mysterious stranger who knows just enough means she has to trust someone. But will she trust enough, fast enough?

Hamal breaks his own rules by coming to Dee’s aid. His mission was to watch, not interfere. But there’s something about her. Something he knows is worth putting himself in danger for. With more and more entering the Killing Game, she won’t be ready without him.

Thrown into a world with immortal foes—some friends, some enemies—Dee must decide to play their game and find answers or choose a life of running. Little does she know, one holds the answers to her past—a Rishi whose wish started it all.

We Are Forever

Dee’s power sets her apart from the Soldiers she trains with. Both her similarities and differences have confused the lines of who she is, so even the Rishis remain unsure what to make of her.

When she’s claimed as family, a new twist in her adventure comes to light. Excited to finally have answers, Dee struggles to adapt to this new information.

But then Zibanitu, Hamal's silent patron, decides it’s his role to sort things out. Dee finds herself traveling to yet another location, this time visiting under lock-and-key. Is she a guest, or a prisoner?

Friends and foes are difficult to identify. If she can hold out just a little bit longer, Dee’s determined she can wrest back control of her life. Will feelings of family overwrite her need for vengeance, or will she find death is her only option against those who are forever?

Wish's Curse

A year. 
Well, ten months. 
Ten months and Dee is no closer to finding her way than when she started. She can't help but wonder if the possibility exists for her to separate her life from the fantastical. At every turn four new obstacles rear.

Worse, Zibanitu's plans may erase all her progress. It's a double-edged sword to hope the other Rishis still want to play. Their curiosity might be all there is to override their leader's claim.

When friends turn foe, and enemies abound, Dee's mental health takes a plummet. Maybe it's time to throw in the towel and accept her role as pawn.

Dee continues their game of push and pull. Games will change. Stakes will mount. An uncovered past reveals secrets none could have guessed, and could just be the thing that destroys Dee for good.

Rishi's Wish (parts I-IX of XII): Omnibus Volume I

Some things you can't take back.

All Steve wanted was to find the balls to tell the girl of his dreams how he felt.

And he finally had.
Today was that day. A day engineered with no distractions. A day for just the two of them. No roommates. No cowardice. No second-guessing that the friendship they'd built over the last year wasn't more.
Today was the day his hellish existence would move into the light.

Snatched away by four simple words, Steve's day turns dark. From one second to the next, taking his future in his hands turns to a speeding train bearing down on him.

Each day more torturous than the last, he’s forced to watch his love slumber through the whole experimental procedure. A procedure that has never worked. A procedure that turns her from his friend into subject 10-0-9.

When she wakes, when she finally comes to, the first to survive, Steve wants to take it all back. The nightmare he'd been living was nothing compared to this.

Ten-Zero-Nine: A Rishi’s Wish Prequel

A new twist in her adventure comes to light when she's claimed as family. Excited to finally have answers, Dee struggles to adapt to this new information.

We Are Forever: Rishi’s Wish: Parts IV-VII

A year. 

Well, ten months. 

Ten months and Dee is no closer to finding her way than when she started. She can't help but wonder if the possibility exists for her to separate her life from the fantastical. At every turn four new obstacles rear.

Worse, Zibanitu's plans may erase all her progress. It's a double-edged sword to hope the other Rishis still want to play. Their curiosity might be all there is to override their leader's claim.

When friends turn foes and enemies abound, Dee's mental health takes a plummet. With Hamal still absent and ostracized from the rest, apathy rears strong. Maybe it's time to throw in the towel and accept her role as pawn.

Dee will continue to be pushed and pulled. Games will change. Stakes will mount. An uncovered past reveals secrets none could have guessed and could just be the thing that destroys Dee for good.

Wish's Curse

She thought knowing would set her free. She thought information would show her the way. All it’s done has entrenched her further into a life of danger, highlighting how all along she’s been a coward.

Dee’s most difficult path is just ahead. She thought she had conquered her demons. She thought she knew what sides were what. When she truly loses everything, will she become the villain?

Free. That’s all Dee’s ever wanted. That, and to know.

The knowing came with a cost, but she’s paid it. Her eyes are open. She’s conquered her demons. It’s time to start a life. 
But she doesn't see as much as she thinks.

Leaving Hamal and her army behind puts them in a scramble, forcing them straight into a trap designed for her. Unsure where his charge is, Hamal bluffs his way from war. Except the only way through this trap is to spring it. When Dee reemerges, ready for action, Hamal's unwilling to sacrifice her. Not even he can stop her from the path she's set herself on.

Her decisions will cost more than she's paid to date, leaving everyone vulnerable. When she wakes in the aftermath, she'll find she needs to dig deeper than ever. Every step she takes is a step toward death. Despite her great power, she wonders if maybe she wasn’t Born To Die.

Born To Die: Rishi’s Wish: Parts X-XI

Hope is not a plan. That’s what Phecda tried to explain. It's what Dee has finally learned.

She’s lost so much.
Everything.
They say that when the crucible is laid, true character is revealed. Will Dee's trials show her as the hero or the villain of her story?

With both enemies and friends after her—and new villains to face, Dee finally understands that to be free does not mean to be without conflict. To be free can not mean laying low, does not mean avoiding the things that make her special. 
So, she’ll learn more. She’ll face forward; fight to be better. Whether she’ll become a villain or a savior, not even she can know.
