The Blade of Balance

The White Raven Book 3

by M.J. Moores

Genre

YA Urban Fantasy

No job. No alliance. No clue…

This isn’t about Dray finding herself anymore. This is war. Her BFF-Familiar is holding the fort at the club. Wolf Boy is in uber Nexus protection mode, and the drive-her-mentalist is tracking a missing dragon.

It’s time to go hunting… but seeking the essence required to jumpstart the Blade of Balance drops Dray squarely in everyone’s crosshairs. Really, nowhere better to be than on the brink of social annihilation behind enemy lines. Unfortunately, the key to unlocking the power of the Blade lies with Dray’s less-than-strategic ability to negotiate with severely unbalanced forces… and deciphering the meaning of the final riddle.

If Dray is only the Seeker… who, then, is the Wielder?

The Soul Collector

The White Raven Book 2

It’s a bird, it’s a plane. No… it’s a murder-hornet!

Stuck in raven form after her run-in with the most insane wizard alive, Dray is content to focus on healing. But the djinn she negotiated help from has other plans. He sends a warning via stinger in mid-air, forcing Dray to shift before she’s ready. The hostile calling card parrots in her head as she plummets to the ground: Time’s up. Favour’s due.

Back on the asphalt, Dray barely has time to take a breath, or a step, before getting blasted by a second summons. She’s on the fae council’s radar, big time. No one else can root-out the maniac wizard who spliced her soul (Public Enemy No.1), so the council offers Dray a deal she can’t refuse. Being a high school outcast never prepared her for this kind of popularity contest.

Can she survive spying for the good guys while breaking the djinn (Public Enemy No.2) out of jail right under their noses?

The Hollow Kiss

The White Raven Book 1

Bloody Walls and Supernatural Espionage Were Not on the Final Exam

Graduation meant a whole new world away from the labels of outcast and freak, but a supernatural abduction leaves Corvina Dray with a hole in her memory and a deadly kiss.

Inexplicably drawn to a dark stranger in a back alley, Dray’s soul-sucking lip-lock lands her with a DB and the local PD on her trail. Then, a girl she doesn’t remember shows up out of nowhere and helps her dispose of the corpse.

Dray’s dead-body-bestie initiates her into an underground world with only one rule— expose the fae and suffer the consequences. But navigating this piranha-paradise to hunt down the maniac responsible for her transformation is likely to kill her… or worse.

Can Dray reverse the curse before she spends the rest of her life in an orange jumpsuit?

THE HOLLOW KISS

After paying for my supplies, I walked out the back to get away from Mac’s penetrating stare. He’d sensed a change in me. I wasn’t in the mood to dodge questions.

Outside, I pulled the full cart down the alley connecting the rear of two rows of stores. The hardware place had been at one end, but I didn’t turn onto the closer side street—didn’t know if another wave of nausea would hit. The last thing I needed was the whole town knowing I had a bad hangover. Or worse. Lips were loose enough without my help.

I’d take the long way home. The side streets and back alleys of town had always been my escape route growing up. No one knew them better, except maybe the rats.

My guts contracted and forced me forward—not to my hands and knees, but stumbling toward the back door of a shop across the alley. No! No! Shit, no! My cart overturned. Somebody sauntered out of the back of the store. My heart flailed against my chest. The door banged shut. Midnight Man from earlier glanced over at me, confused, then a cocky smile lit up his face.

The idiot thinks I’m coming on to him. I tried to scream at him to run, but my voice died in a strangled squawk.

I lunged forward, bound by the invisible force. Opening my jaw a second time, I launched myself at him. Terror crystallized in his eyes as our mouths smashed together.

We crashed to the ground next to a fence. His fingers dug into my arms, then stiffened. Body rigid, cheeks caved, the guy shuddered as I pulled my lips from his and a long trail of smoke filled my every tingling cell. I arched my neck back, swallowed, and collapsed. Spent. Whatever had filled me seconds before, that had driven me to attack this guy, now left me empty.

Scrambling away from Midnight Man’s lifeless form, I accidentally kicked his arm. I dry heaved against a fence that housed an industrial-sized garbage bin. Not having eaten—except for a few mouthfuls at Rainey’s—there was little in my stomach to come out.

I curled into a ball. The shaking rattled my teeth. It wasn’t another attack, just the aftereffects of the first.

A shadow fell over the body and hovered across my legs.

Oh my God—someone saw!

I whimpered.

Just take me away now. Toss me in prison and throw away the key. The shadow’s hand reached out. I flinched.
