About the Fire Spirit series
Light and Dark cannot exist without the other. Ari
Johnson knows this. She has seen both elements battle for supremacy within her
family and within the boy she loves. But on her eighteen birthday, after her
friends surprise her with a gimmick genie claiming to grant wishes, Ari
witnesses the brightest of lights and the blackest of darks. Within our world,
and all the others, exist Jinn. Powerful beings of smokeless fire – beings Ari
cannot escape…
One terrifying king.
One overprotective, arrogant young guardian.
One uncle whose loyalties are suspect.
And Azazil: Sultan of all Jinn.
…Ari has no idea who she can trust. When the truth
burns through her life in its determination to turn it to ashes, Ari will have
to battle with ancient deadly creatures, epic family drama and heart-wrenching
romantic entanglements.
It’s time… to fear the heat…
Everything
in Ari’s life until this point has felt borrowed.
Her
human life with a father who wasn’t really hers.
A
love for a boy that needed more than her to be strong.
Kisses
with a Jinn who refused to do anything but lend them out in moments of
weakness.
And
even her resolve, which seemed to fail her whenever she needed it most.
But
Ari is done borrowing. She finally feels strong enough to make hunting Jinn not
just a hobby to get her through her dismal situation… but to make hunting a
permanent and necessary career. Her friendship with Charlie might finally make
it onto real and steady ground if only she can save him from the trial on Mount Qaf
that may mean his death. And her love for Jai could be eternal, if only she
could gain control over the darkness of the Seal within her.
Ari
believes all of this is fixable. That finally Ari will truly own the
relationships in her life and to a certain extent have ownership over her
future.
For
some reason Ari forgot it wasn’t up to her.
That
high in the emerald mountains of Mount
Qaf, the Sultan Azazil
has been keeping secrets… even from the Jinn Kings. Secrets that will change
everything… and bring Ari to the crashing realization that once again…
…
she’s borrowed something that will never truly belong to her.
Coming November 23rd Darkness,

Ari
Johnson wishes adjusting to living with her boyfriend was her only source of
excitement and anxiety.
She
wishes a lot of things.
But
then wishing was what got her here in the first place.
Ari
chose to be a Guild Hunter. She wanted to stalk dangerous Jinn and destroy them
before they could harm innocent people. But now that Ari is a member of The
Guild, she finds herself in the impossible position of hunting her ex-best
friend – human-turned-dangerous sorcerer, Charlie Creagh. As Ari struggles to
come to terms with her duty, an ancient Jinn and his companion want revenge on
her for using the command of the Seal against them; the White King refuses to
give up on his quest to resurrect Lilif, and Asmodeus isn’t done toying with
her.
When
Ari can take no more, rushing to the Sultan Azazil’s side to demand of him the
favor he owes her, the events she sets in motion will not only alter everyone’s
lives, it will kindle a darkness that will shake the realms to their very core.

Charlie Creagh Character Bio:
Charlie
Creagh was a typical guy. He had a normal family including his little brother,
Mike, who he considered one of his best friends. His other best friend, Ari
Johnson, had quickly become something more and they were on their road to
Relationshipville. School was good. Life was good.
Then
Mike was killed in a car accident. Charlie was driving. Fast forward two years
and Charlie Creagh is a slacker, drug taker, drunk on school days, throwing his
life away in shame, anger and guilt kind of guy. Only Ari refuses to give up on
him, and when her life gets flipped upside down and they discover that genies
are real, Charlie also discovers the disturbing truth behind Mike’s death, a
new addiction to the world of the Jinn, and renewed interest in making Ari more
than just a friend. All he needs is to discover a way to be more useful in
keeping her alive, and also in kicking the ass of the macho guardian Jinn, Jai,
who’s turned his best friend’s head. Asshat.
