Need to get lots done? Struggling to fit it all in? We all do. Written by a mum with two tiny humans and the challenge to write and release twenty books in one year. While also podcasting weekly, running a writer’s group and a host of other things.

When the five members of the Guild of Eternal Flame realise it's going to take a lot more money to finance their little dream, they ask around for any tasks the town will pay for. But some missions aren't what they seem.

When a Dwarf, Elf, Rogue, Ex Sailor and a Dragon Born Sorceress all find themselves stranded in an Inn during a snow storm, they expect to be leaving as soon as the snow melts and the pass reopens. But then the supply wagon goes missing, and farmers complain of vandalism and slaughtered herds.

As the demon reveals his final card, Scarlet is left reeling. But the tide of battle is capricious, and it could be turned in her favor if she can muster her every ounce of courage and cunning.

Scarlet is struggling to defend the planet against the demon from behind the gate. Frustration and fear build as creatures succumb to the demonic corruption and their enemy continues to gain ground in the fight. No matter what they do to drive him back, Scarlet's army keeps coming in second.

Scarlet has been queen for less than a month and she's already failed in her most important duty. The enemy of the world is on the loose, and he's not planning on picking flowers and making cotton candy.

The throne has been decided, and Scarlet has found herself in charge of the entire dragon nation. But ruling comes with far more responsibility than she had expected. The dragons are once again united, but that doesn't mean the difficulties are gone.

After months of building proof that she is the heir to the throne, someone Scarlet thought was an ally shows up with another red dragon. Does the newcomer want the throne, and does she care if he takes it?

While some of the dragons in Detaris are adjusting to having a new red dragon around, others aren't. They hound Scarlet no matter what she wants to try and do. If she doesn't put an end to it soon, she's going to wind up injured, or worse.

Back in Detaris, Scarlet's friends are fast becoming the family she never had. But she has a thousand questions and is still restless. How can she perform magic no one else understands? Who are her parents? Why do the Shadow Catchers and their handlers keep coming after her?

With Anthony gone, Scarlet and Ben are left to figure out what he died for. On top of that, Scarlet has to get used to living in the dragon city of Detaris. Being an infamous red dragon only makes that harder.

The world is guarded by dragons. Lurking in the shadows and keeping out of sight, they keep evil at bay. Or do they?
