The Alt-World Chronicles

Secret paranormal societies. A Sanctuary at war with demons. A heroine haunted by eight dead versions of herself. Welcome to The Sanctuary War Trilogy, the first three books of The Alt-World Chronicles–an urban fantasy series where magic hides in modern cities and survival depends on people no prophecy ever promised would win. Here in the Sanctuary, demonic malevolenci cross otherworldly rifts between worlds, and an ancient Order fights to stop the invasion. The Chosen Ones are dead. Old strategies are failing. And the war meant to protect all of reality is slipping out of control.

Abducted by a bubble of light, Esme is not in her Kansas City anymore. The Sanctuary is an alternate world – home to an ancient, secret Order with a king, conjuri magicians, cavali soldiers, and paranormal races Esme never believed were real. Werewolves patrol with the KCPD. Fairies dream of Hollywood. Goblins are bankers. Elves are lawyers. Vampires make excellent doctors. Trolls are warriors…and serve the best barbecue in town. But why have the conjuri summoned Esme to this paranormal melting pot? As an alt-world version of the original Esme, she is an alterni.

Magic is no longer new to Esme—it's limitless. Unfortunately, though she's now won their respect, power alone can't calm restless paranormals. Jinn dabble in civilian politics. Fairies demand an impossible return to their home world. Rebel vampires cry slavery. Far too used to the unending war, the paranormals' focus shifts to ancient tensions, and whispers of rebellion sweep through the Order.

The war has become chaos. In Alterni and Malevolenci, Esme and the Order fought demonic monsters and scrambled to maintain alliances. Now, as the Order finally gains ground, everything they thought they understood about the malevolenci war shatters. Rebellion has fractured the paranormals. Fairies, jinn, and vampires once loyal have already turned. Zealots threaten to side with the enemy. Traitors lurk in the shadows. Covert plots undermine centuries of peace. If the Order doesn't end this war quickly, there may be no Order left to save the worlds they swore to protect.
