When Alex Blackburn returns to small-town Rifton to settle her grandmother’s estate, she doesn’t expect to uncover Gran’s secret affair or to accidentally summon a giant centipede from the netherworld.
With a pet-eating demon on the loose, Gran’s things to dispose of, and only two weeks off work, she doesn’t have time to waste. Getting rid of the creature is her first priority.
Shelby Saunders, grandson of Gran’s lover, might just be the one to help her. If she can convince him the demon is real.
Can two people who don’t believe in magic conjure enough of it to send a demon home? In Rifton, you never know what might happen.
This cosy urban fantasy set in small-town New Zealand will have you checking under your seat for centipedes and cheering on Alex and Shelby as they bumble their way around magic and each other. The first in a brand new series of magical adventures set in Rifton.

A spicy, enemies-to-lovers romantasy, full of dragons, mystery, and magic.

Twenty years ago Tarakona was saved from the ravages of war when every magic user agreed to surrender their talents to the royal family. Powerful users, like Rhea Coronos’s mother, were rewarded for their sacrifice with not only peace, but senior positions in the castle for them and their children.

Determined to have a life beyond lady-in-waiting to Princess Briar, Rhea accepts a challenge. All she has to do is find a suitable dragon for Briar’s coming of age and Briar will approve her marriage to the dashing Count Romano.

Her life will finally be what she wants it to be.

But when she meets the irreverent dragon trainer Garrett Thorne, her world begins to crumble.

Something in her has awakened and is drawn to him.

And something is making her mother — and so many others in the castle — very ill.

Things are not what they seem. Maybe they never were.

Meet the Author

A Jane Dove is the author of spicy fantasy and dystopian novels featuring FMCs searching for themselves, slow burn romances, and dresses with pockets.
An American expat based in New Zealand, she spends her time pondering questions about feminism, elitism, and the state of the world...if there were dragons and book boyfriends in it.

Mason is not happy with his life selling insurance, but it all changes when he discovers that he has paranormal powers and is visited by Gabriel, a sentient being. Mason is told that he and others like him with telekinetic powers are required to help fight off a pending invasion of aliens.
Gabriel’s adversary is another sentient with an old feud that has raised a force of aliens to deal out his vengeance by destroying human civilisation. After the destruction of many Australian population centres, Gabriel and the human resistance plan a decisive confrontation in the outback of Australia while learning secrets of humanity’s origin.

"A page-turning adventure featuring evil invading aliens, paranormal humans and angels (both holy and fallen). Not normally my genre, but I enjoyed losing myself in this battle.
The tactical and military equipment descriptions were clearly well researched, and the creativity surrounding the alien anatomy and hardware was great. It's also worth checking out his earlier book, Manhood for a similarly creative dystopian future based in New Zealand rather than Australia."

"This is an engaging and historically fascinating story. I became quite invested in the characters whose lives took so many turns geographically and emotionally. It has obviously been well researched and it is beautifully presented. The places and the people were depicted with great colour and important detail.
Highly recommended".
