Blackwell Magic
Ryan Blackwell never wanted to have magical abilities. He'd rather leave them as far behind him as possible - and never look back! Arriving at the military college of Northshield University was supposed to be a chance to start over and build a new life for himself.
But Northshield holds a secret: a powerful nexus of ley lines. Where these converging lines of raw magical force intersect, strange things can happen and even stranger beings are attracted to the site.

What can you do when the thing you hate most in the world is also the only thing which might keep you alive?
Ryan Blackwell never wanted to have magical abilities. He'd rather leave them as far behind him as possible - and never look back! Arriving at the military college of Northshield University was supposed to be a chance to start over and build a new life for himself. One without magic, thank you very much!
But Northshield holds a secret: a powerful nexus of ley lines. Where these converging lines of raw magical force intersect, strange things can happen and even stranger beings are attracted to the site. Almost overnight Ryan is faced with a choice: accept his magic or die.
Even that may not be enough, because as the threats grow stronger and students begin dying, even Ryan will find his power tested to the limit.
Giving up isn't an option, and flight is impossible. That only leaves one path to survival...fight back!
Ashes Ascendant
Wild fire magic rips through Northshield University, and only Ryan Blackwell can stop it!
Still reeling from his near-death at the hands of a monstrous apparition, Ryan finds himself plunged into danger again far sooner than he's ready for. He's come to accept that his magic is a part of him he cannot escape - not if he wants to survive. But even his powers will be put to the most terrible tests.
Something sleeps at Northshield, ancient and incredibly powerful. But all the magic thrown about has caused it to stir. It dreams of fire and flames spread across campus. What will happen when it fully wakes?
Ryan has claimed Northshield is under his protection. Now that will be put to the ultimate test.
Dead In Winter
They call him the Soulstealer. He's lived - and killed - for hundreds of years. Now he's after Ryan.
Another epic fantasy tale from USA Today bestselling author Kevin McLaughlin!
Surviving attacks by magical monsters forced Ryan Blackwell to rely on his magic more than he ever had before. His power has grown through each conflict. But the use of all that magic has attracted a lot of attention of the unpleasant variety.
He finds himself stalked by the most deadly of foes, someone capable of sucking the magic and life out of a target. No one has ever faced the Soulstealer and lived to tell the tale. He's known only by the victims he leaves behind.
Now Ryan's in his crosshairs, and it will take every ounce of his courage, fortitude, and wits to survive the trap which awaits him!
Claws That Catch
Summer break is supposed to be relaxing for college students, but not for Ryan Blackwell.
Leaving campus means heading back home and potentially having to deal with his Dad, which is enough all by itself to make him wish he could be anyplace else. But then he runs into a hellcat: a magical creature capable of stripping the magic away from a victim. The hellcat might not even be the most dangerous enemy prowling out there, either!
He’s alone. Without backup or support. When Ryan finds himself cut off from his magic he must rely on his wits and will to survive.
Beating his foes will require him to recover his powers, but that’s easier said than done. He’ll have to evade assassins and defeat a hellish creature that was created to hunt down spell-casters like himself.
No one said life was easy. But for Ryan, it’s going to be almost impossible to escape the Claws That Catch!
Darkness Awakes
The Northshield Nexus hides a rift, a breach between our reality and one populated by horrible monsters.
But they want out.
Ryan's fought one of them and the battle almost killed him. Now a legion of the creatures is trying to break free from their extra-dimensional prison. They've found humans willing to help them smash down the magical barriers keeping them locked away.
Ryan has to stop them. If the demons invade Earth, everyone he's ever known and loved will be in jeopardy. Even his magic won't be enough to save them.
Stopping their human catspaws before they can accomplish their mission is the only hope. But they know Ryan is coming for them. They know his strengths and his weaknesses, and have a plan to stop him in his tracks.
They think they know Ryan Blackwell, but they've never faced off against him when his friends' lives are on the line. Can he stop this deadly menage before the Darkness Awakes and destroys our world?
Spellbinding Entanglements
The Soulstealer is back in Ryan's life. But this time...she's begging him for help?
Melicent arrives on his doorstep wounded, without magic, and hunted by ASTRAL. Unwilling to turn her over to an organization he no longer trusts, Ryan helps her flee.
There's no way ASTRAL will take that laying down.
The stage is set for a final showdown against the shadowy forces behind ASTRAL. All Ryan has fought for hangs in the balance as he tries to thread his way between deadly adversaries. If he can stay true to himself, Ryan may still prevail.
But if he falters even for a moment, he will find himself the victim of Spellbinding Entanglements!
