Dragon 4 Chapter 7

Chloe and Larisa had taught me how dragons settled arguments. No surprise, it involved fighting. The process felt archaic, but it was effective. Once again, I wanted to follow dragon customs as I learned more about their culture.

"You've disrespected my mates in front of the whole conclave. You will duel me, and when you lose, you will kne...

Dragon 4 Chapter 6

I let out an explosive breath once the meeting was done. To my horror, I learned that this would last a whole week. Seven days of arguing about minor details of the greater organization that dragons led behind the scenes of human politics.

Today was just day one. I sagged as I stood to leave.

"You know, King Tytus kicked out half of ...

Dragon 4 Chapter 5

It wasn’t hard to see what had caused all the commotion in front of Brom’s house.

A massive black dragon had crashed into Brom's front lawn, its body wounded and bleeding. It wasn't nearly the same size as the silver slave, but if Brom had lived in any ordinary house, I wasn't sure it would still be standing after the mess the dragon h...

Dragon 4 Chapter 4

As soon as I stepped off the plane, the hot air buffeted me. I had anticipated that the desert in Dubai would have dry air, but I was surprised to find that it actually felt wet, almost sticky.

The city was by water, but the humidity was unexpected in the otherwise arid landscape.

Luckily, the tarmac was free of people, but as I look...

Dragon 4 Chapter 3

The engines on Jadelyn’s private jet whirred up as the six of us leaned back in our seats.

The inside of the plane was all suede leather and white paneling. A cluster of circular seats filled the front, with a bed in the back. It only had a thin white curtain for a barrier, if it was even needed.

I didn't love that Kelly was stayin...

Dragon 4 Chapter 2

"My boy, there you are." Rupert greeted me excitedly as I walked onto the green. "Scarlett had your clubs brought over." He gestured to my first wife, who was wearing a preppy white shirt and a distractingly short skirt. I couldn’t help it as my eyes lingered on her, taking in my beautiful kitsune, even if she did have her tails and ears hidde...

Mana 6 ebook is out

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09ZTCX4NR 

I'm aware the blurb on the amazon page for some reason has the html code in it rather than paragraph breaks. Working to fix, but I flipped through the interior and everything seems fine.

Dragon 4 Chapter 1

Timeless painted cinderblock walls lined the lecture hall filled with fold out stadium seating and currently packed with students.

It was quiet, as the professor jabbered on at the front of the class. I tried to pay attention, but it was growing increasingly difficult.

Not that the professor was boring.

I could feel the stares ...

That’s a wrap. I felt like at times that if I didn’t finish this, it would never end. But I pushed through and we finally reached the end. It is bittersweet. Mana meant so much to me. This story allowed me to go full time. It was my third book and a significant shift, full of growth, that has led me to where I am now.

I give the series...

Mana 6 Chapter 31

“You need to stay outside.” Bai stood before me, holding her young one while also blocking me from going inside the room.

“Bai, she’s having quadruplets.”

Mei screamed out from inside again, and my body raged, wanting to be there with her. I put a hand on Bai and tried to gently move her. She was holding our child, so I lim...

Mana 6 Chapter 30

The Leon family elders were delivered to the Leon family in pieces, as promised. They’d all tried to take the coward’s way out in the end and were cut down before they could flee.

I returned to the elder ceremony with the corpses of all the Leon family’s seventh rank immortals.

The elders had told me the ceremony was about maki...

Mana 6 Chapter 29

I nearly teleported behind Edmond as I cut at him. He narrowly dodged, leaving scraps of his robe in the void.

Not waiting, I made my next move. The entire void lit up as I flooded it with sword strokes, each one of them leaving brilliant streaks of sword intent behind, lingering like a trap for Edmond.

He continued to dodge by the n...

Mana 6 Chapter 28

“If you don’t stop moving, I’m going to stitch this onto your shoulder,” Kat scolded me as I tried to hold still.

And I was trying. But after finding the tainted mana crystal in the market, I was unable to find the woman who wore a sheer, pink dress around town.

Asking around, I’d begun to get the impression that the family...

Mana 6 Chapter 27

Three days later, I emerged from my bedroom. My mana beasts were all finally asleep and satisfied. I hadn’t realized just how badly they had wanted babies until day two.

I desperately needed a bath, and it wasn’t going to happen if I stayed in my home. One of my mana beasts would wake up soon and drag me back to bed.

I wondered i...

Mana 6 Chapter 26

“Master, it’s ready.” Phoebe rested against the entrance to the cavern where we had been playing. She looked slightly worn, but the sparkle in her eye indicated her excitement.

I looked up from The Game, stunned at the realization. “Let’s go then.”

Pulling on the rest of my wives, I called them into the shared soul space....

Mana 6 Chapter 25

“You have kept us waiting. Have you no respect?” Grouchy grumbled as I entered the elder’s pavilion.

“I just returned from a harrowing adventure to recover one of my wives and needed my rest,” I countered, squinting at the divider and not liking it one bit.

My domain expanded rapidly, grabbing the divider and pulling it asi...

Mana 6 Chapter 24

I hoped that the new core wouldn’t hate me on principle, given that I wasn’t part of the Leon family. Deciding it was time to meet the beast, I pushed the core into my chest as I fell into my soul palace.

I opened my eyes, looking around from my throne to see myself now surrounded by my mana beasts. And they’d each made a smaller thr...

Mana 6 Chapter 23

“I appreciate the offer, but that’s not the plan.” Pushing her inside the domain in my soul space, I expected her to resist, but she didn’t. I wondered if she had figured out my escape plan, or if she truly trusted me that deeply.

Lanhua disappeared into my soul palace.

The elder snorted. “Putting her inside your soul is on...

Mana 6 Chapter 22

The next morning, I was up bright and early, untangling myself from Lanhua.

“Morning already?” She yawned, rubbing at her eyes.

“Yes, and we better get going.” I pulled on my robes and stepped out of the tent to see Steve and Jonny sitting on stumps, waiting for us.

“Damn. That was the first time I’ve seen a sixth r...

Foo - Cover for Mana 6

Lanhua

With silver hair.

Mana 6 Chapter 21

Lanhua turned back from zipping up the tent with a smoldering look, and I wasn’t dense enough to not know what that meant.

“Lanhua, I’m not sure if this is the time.”

“You dual cultivate.” She replied, crawling over to me. Her dress pulled off her shoulder as she moved forward. “We need your strength, and you need to be...

Mana 6 Chapter 20

My mana beasts were still with me. Their spells flew all around me as they pelted every Bishou they could see. Fire, lightning, steel, claws and fluffy tails murdered the Bishou before they could get to me.

“Isaac.” Lanhua tried to get my attention.

“We are getting you out of here; can you walk?” I was half afraid she’d sti...

Mana 6 Chapter 19

The sun was set, leaving only moonlight to guide our route as we crept into the mineshaft.

The area was quiet; there were no rhythmic sounds of picks hammering into the ground. But as I reached my senses out, I found Bishou patrolling the area.

I held up my hand for the three of us to stop. Signing with my hands, I told them that the...

Mana 6 Chapter 18

My sword blurred before me as I let out a flurry of sword strokes, focusing on the tower rather than the assassin.

The rickety structure exploded with my dozen cuts, and the assassins lingering in it shot into the air, spraying poison needles down upon us as they escaped.

Jonny’s dual elements swirled before us like a shield, block...

Mana 6 Chapter 17

I kicked a rock at the edge of the canyon. “Well, this makes things difficult.”

We’d have to fly to cross the canyon, and the area was open enough that we would likely be spotted by the Bishou.

We’d already killed hundreds of assassins at this point, and it was making me anxious that the Bishou had more forces than I’d anti...

Mana 6 Chapter 16

Jonny and Steve were voracious.

Not only had they consumed all the mana crystals they had, but then Steve started to mix the herbs into pills.

I had never studied alchemy in detail, but it was a powerful tool for many cultivators on their path to the top.

Here, with unlimited herbs, Steve was going to be a valuable asset.

Mana 6 Chapter 15

The next few days followed similarly.

I’d go to the greenhouse with Jonny and Steve to clear out the plants that had evolved into mana beasts.

Because of my sixth rank cultivation, I was not only able to steal many herbs from the Leon Family, but I used my domain in my soul palace to keep them alive.

Unfortunately, given the ...

Mana 6 Chapter 14

When I awoke the next morning, Jonny was already up and moving around, making sure he had everything I’d need for the day.

I borrowed a set of more generic robes, and we headed over to the Leon family estate.

I had to admit that it felt weird marching into enemy territory, planning to work for them.

The place was grand, with ...

Mana 6 Chapter 13

“Ah.” Mei sighed for not the first time as I finished inside of her.

Pulling out, I realized that morning had already passed in the frenzy, and the sun was already leaning toward the evening.

“Girls, we should clean up.” I pulled out of Mei.

“One more?” Mei asked, batting her eyelashes at me.

I shook my head. ...
