A princess’s choice. A soldier’s destiny. A nation’s fate hangs in the balance.
When Roland Sunderson is chosen by Princess Alisha Kos'Valla as a husband instead of a royal soldier, he must leave everything he knows behind for a life he never wanted.
Thrust into an unfamiliar world of scheming politics and forbidden magic, Roland finds unexpected solace in Princess Alisha’s company. But even as their feelings for each other grow, Roland becomes the target of brutal sabotage that threatens to undermine not only his position, but the safety of the nation itself.
If Roland and Alisha can't prove his loyalty before her coronation, Roland will be executed, and all that will be left to Alisha is a reign of dust . . .
Full of betrayal, intrigue, passion, and sorcery, J. R. Frontera's sweeping epic fantasy Reign of Dust will plunge you into a dark and sensual new world.

Will the United Federation of Mankind prevail? Or will Harry and his friends prove once and for all that there's a place in the galaxy for everyone?

He may be ready to go to Hell...

Van Delano is still determined to free his sister from the clutches of Nine-Fingered Nan, whatever it takes.
So when the outlaw queen suggests an exchange, he’s all too eager to agree.
Doesn’t matter the stagecoach he’s supposed to find is traveling a route that don’t make no sense toward the one town he never wanted to step foot into again.

Doesn’t matter he’s now got a bounty on his head so high every fortune-seeker in the Territories will be after him.

PLEASE NOTE: This series contains adult themes, situations, and language. Additionally, this series is purposefully written in a similar manner to the best tv shows, where each episode's (or novel's) end sets up the events of the next installment. Because of this, each novel will end with a SOFT cliffhanger. The books won't end mid-scene or anything (that would make this a serial, not a series)... but they also won't end with everything tied up in a nice, tidy bow. So if soft cliffhangers annoy you, these books probably aren't for you.
"This guy can't catch a break! I'll be honest though, I can't help but be invested. It's fine work." -- Roger Clark, Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption II
