1) Drafted Luck
Draft here I come, ready or not.
Doctorate achieved! Now time to pay off my mandatory service obligation to the government. The same government that may, or may not, be trying to occasionally kill me. But hey a job is a good thing, right?
I didn't expect it to be all rainbows and sprinkles, but neither did I envision being thrown in with a training group of misfits and potential criminals. How did I end up having to make decisions
2) Hired Luck
New city, new job, new threat?
With my best friend going to college to learn how to use her magic, I'm job hunting in Atlanta. We're sharing an apartment and I've never been happier. The last thing I needed was to be involved in a murder investigation. Now the police are sure I had something to do with it. News alert: I don't. I've got a job, Jo's going school. I finally am on the track to have my own life.
Working as an EMT is great,
...3) My Luck
I hate the nickname Cori Catastrophe, it's accurate though.
In my world, magic weaves through society, seemingly giving mages the leg up. I'm no mage, yet bad luck clings to me like a shadow. Everything changed when my twin brother died in my arms. My parents never forgave me, not that I blame them. Since then, I've been on my own, except for my BFF Jo and her family. Still, trust doesn't come easy.
Paying for college sucks while
...Being a double merlin sucks.
You'd think having power, having people treat you with respect, an insanely awesome inheritance waiting for me, and knowing you could do really awesome(awful) things would be cool. It isn't.
I've got strings you wouldn't believe attached to the inheritance. Then it turns out other people want it, so instead of suing me, I mean that would be logical, right? No, they are trying to kill me. And I don't mean
...Freedom and a chance to live, right?
Cori Munroe just wants to enjoy her life after her Draft service has completed. The kids are delightful, her home life is good, but as always, trouble finds her.
Rips between Earth and the realms are appearing and she seems to be to the only mage that can easily close them. When Esmere calls her to attend the council, something she thought she was well clear of, she finds herself forced to take
...6) Faded Luck
For Cori Munroe, carrying a surrogate baby shouldn't be any big deal. She's got magic on her side, right?
Wrong.
Pregnancy is fritzing her magic, while she has to deal with a variety of work issues, up to and very much including a huge medal ceremony involving the United States and China for saving D.C. and China's reputation. Then the Council of Lords wants her to represent Earth's mages. All while trying to deal with magical issues
...Magical house, insane killer, and life altering decisions—being an adult sucks.
I did it, I've graduated and no more pressure. And I've got a house, me a house! Road trip time for Jo, Sable, and me up to Albany, New York. The house both is and isn't what I expected. Beautiful-yes. Locked rooms with mysterious stuff-yes. But it also seems alive, which isn't possible. This isn't a movie, houses aren't alive.
But before I get to
...I'm Cori Munroe, and I'm the Herald of Magic or so everyone keep telling me.
Rips are happening across the world and I'm the only one that can close them all by myself. They have me hopping everywhere and I'm running out of energy and running down my health. But if I don't do this people are going to die.
So I'm trying to fix this. We're researching Atlantis, phoenix's, other heralds of magic, and the Undoing. Somewhere
...9) Commander
Discovering an Artificial Intelligence lives in your head, strike one. Having the Artificial Intelligence explain aliens are the origin of shifters on Earth, strike two. Having it announce you are the commanding officer of the earth shifters, strike three.
Deciding there is only so much one person can handle, McKenna Largo ignores the strange new voice in her head and focuses on her law enforcement career. She soon learns there are other aspects
10) No Luck
Charles Wainscot never expected to be a mage, but when it came with a familiar he thinks it might all be worth it. College, new life, maybe new friends.
Too bad his old life has followed him with the presence of a high school bully. Either way, he'll manage by himself. But when Cori Munroe bursts into his life things get a lot stranger.
Charles will
...11) Joined
Weddings are never easy. But a wedding for your best friend has it's own certain brand of joy. Jo and Sable are getting married and I'm going to be their Person of Honor.
Easy, right?
Between defending my dissertation, dealing with wedding plans gone wild, freaking out brides, and my own miss givings, it's going to take a miracle to get us all to the altar.
But sometimes just loving someone
