Bound by blood and driven by desire, Arson's fate teeters on the edge. Orphaned at birth and cast adrift on the unforgiving sea, Arson and his three brothers are discovered by Haus LinGor, a bitter old man who seeks to amass wealth and power for his family. He adopts the four "devils" despite their strange, pointed ears and raises them as lethal assassins that slaughter any who oppose him. Forged in the crucible of Haus's ambition, the quadruplets know nothing of their own origins and little of life beyond their grisly duties. When a chance remark reveals that Arson and his brothers are actually elves, Haus takes them on a perilous journey to Norr, the elven kingdom, in search of suitable brides. His plan: to breed an army of so-called devils that will secure the LinGor legacy for all time. But beneath the towering canopy of Norr's enchanted forest, Arson is separated from his brothers and taken prisoner. In the custody of a beautiful Norrian princess, he finds himself at a crossroads teeming with peril and opportunity, torn between his loyalty to his family and his newly awakened instincts as an elf. Heart ablaze with desire, Arson conceives a daring gambit to seize the princess's handmaiden as his wife...or perhaps the princess herself. A Basket of Devils weaves a tragic tapestry of enemies-to-lovers romance, action-adventure, and a dash of dark fantasy. This gripping prequel to J.C. Hartcarver's Sufferborn series unveils the history of the Overseas Taint, an ancient menace seeping into the sanctuary of the Norr elves. It can be read as either a standalone novel or as the opening of a poignant generational saga.

The God of Darkness rises... Kalea has found Dorhen at the heart of a strange cult that worships Wikshen as a living deity. There, he dwells in a euphoric haze, enthralled by witches clamoring to receive his blessing. If Kalea fails to free him from this poisonous society, Dorhen may lose not only his identity to the sinister entity possessing him, but his life...even his very soul. Yet Kalea's own divided loyalties put him at greater risk when she, Bowaen, Del, and Gaije resume the search for Mhina and the missing novices. Back in Norr, Lehomis's suspicions of corruption within the Desteer grow deeper and more disturbing. Members of the enigmatic order are supposed to act as spiritual guides for his people, but the Desteer maidens are imposing strange new rules and rituals that go against ancient custom.

His desperation drives him to seek a cure for his debilitating illness even as his plans to conquer the continent accelerate. With an army of sanguinesent demons summoned to do his bidding, the kingsorcerer intends to recapture Wikshen once and for all. For even though Wikshen may believe he is a god, Lamrhath knows-as do the witches-that he's simply a weapon to be wielded by those with true power.And out in the Darklandic wilds, a weathered wanderer journeys toward the Ilbith stronghold. Although he wears a hood with the word "mercy" scrawled in paint across the front, he seeks vengeance for all he has lost...

Her love was lost. Now she risks losing herself... Kalea's desperate journey to find Dorhen and rescue the kidnapped novices is cut short when she is caught in the whirlwind of a rising Darklandic deity: the violent yet seductive Wikshen. Danger stalks Kalea across an untamed land, from a lost city in a poisoned forest where she must seek the aid of a treacherous stranger, to the very hive of Wikshen's sinister cult. But as startling revelations and harrowing events challenge her faith, her purpose, and her very identity, Kalea discovers the greatest perils of all may lurk in her own heart. At Kalea's side, Gaije searches desperately for his sister, who is held captive by the sorcerers responsible for the corruption infiltrating the Lightlands. Back in Norr, Gaije's grandfather, Lehomis, struggles to save his clan from extinction. Even if Gaije returns safely with Mhina, he may not make it home in time before the woman he loves marries someone else. As the new, reluctant figurehead of the Wikshonite cult, Dorhen finds himself trapped in an endless struggle for control of his own body as the pixie Wik grows stronger within him. If Dorhen succumbs, he may become someone Kalea no longer recognizes-someone with a thirst for conquest and the power to bend the entire continent to his will. Can Kalea resist the temptation of this reborn pettygod? Or will her devotion to Dorhen crumble under the influence of Wikshen's dark allure? Unwilling Deity is the second book in the Sufferborn series, an epic fantasy adventure designed for intelligent readers and deep-feeling souls. This is not a light and fluffy read!
