Starkiller:
The merry Maids (Book Three)

Now available on Amazon!
Alyvia Tippin is not a fan of big changes, and yet that's all her life has been since leaving the Academy.

Now that she's discovered more about her abilities, the Council seems determined to add even bigger changes to her life. Despite The Merry Maids' protests, the Council wants Alyvia to train with the Shadows, to figure out how her Amplifier skills could be useful to their team.

At least she can stop worrying about her best friend now that she knows he is one of the Shadows.

As The Merry Maids' quest to find the Starkiller pieces nears completion, their course is set to collide again with Maks, and all of the horrors Lyv thought she left behind when she escaped Cayberra.

Change is inevitable.
​Alyvia just hopes her team can survive.

Starkiller: The Merry Maids (Book Three) is available on Amazon in paperback or as an e-book. Please leave your reviews on Amazon or Goodreads to let me know what you think!
