On Tour with Prism Book Tours
Queen of Iron and Blood
The storm was only the beginning…
Mackenzie Scott is trapped in another realm, but that’s the least of her problems. Magic runs through her veins, and even now she can feel herself changing. She’s managed to help her brother, but in exchange, she’s turning into one of them. Worse, Mackenzie’s not just a monster. She’s their queen.
Hunter had one job: open the gateway between worlds to keep his realm alive. He hadn’t counted on betrayal. He hadn’t counted on being saved by a human girl. And he’d never guessed he couldn’t trust his own king. Now he’s trapped in a world to which he can never truly belong.
Separated by realms, Mackenzie and Hunter must save the other’s world. But the divide isn’t the only thing working against them. Beasts and men fight a dangerous battle that pits Hunter and Mackenzie against those they’re trying to protect.
And the clock is ticking.
For one brief moment, there had been pure hope. Rejoice. Relief. Weeping. An effort to regroup.
And then came the attacks. Systematic. Orderly. Pointed. They hit strategic targets: power plants, tech firms, supply routes. It was the worst thing they could imagine, the scariest turn of events. These were not the initial attacks. The monsters weren’t merely beasts playing with their prey. This was intelligent. Deliberate.
Tyler had said the military thought the monsters were extraterrestrial, that their appearance was too sudden and worldwide to be anything else. The creatures were alien certainly, but there was no doubt once you saw them up close that they possessed some very human-like features. The zealots thought them a second coming. There was some disagreement on whether they might be angels or demons, but thousands stood holding hands and singing or screaming out for the sinners to repent before it was too late. Everything had changed once they’d found ground zero, though. They’d not been able to pin down the location during the Breach, something about the electrical signals and how the energy had originally registered throwing detection machinery off. But the day of the Resurgence, it had spiked, a clear and traceable signal that had led them right to the source.
Hannah didn’t know whether these things were aliens or demons, she just knew they were an epic pain in her ass.

King of Ash and BoneWhen flying monsters break through the veil into her world, Mackenzie Scott has nothing left to lose. Her brother has been taken, her future has vanished, and all that remains is a desperate need for revenge. After discovering the breach the creatures used as a gateway, Mackenzie devises a plan to stop them, whatever the cost.
When she finds an injured stranger in the street, he just might be the key she needs to succeed. What Mackenzie doesn't know is that this stranger isn't the helpless boy he appears to be. He's one of the monsters. And he's got plans of his own.
Thrown into a dying city in another realm, Mackenzie is powerless to get back. With the gateway closing, time is not on her side. But the stranger is, and if they can escape execution, this girl and her monster might be able to save both their worlds.
