Seize the Day

Fading charmer Tommy Wilhelm has reached his day of reckoning and is scared. In his forties, he still retains a boyish impetuousness that has brought him to the brink of chaos: he is separated from his wife and children, at odds with his vain, successful father, failed in his acting career (a Hollywood agent once placed him as 'the type that loses the girl') and in a financial mess. In the course of one climactic day he reviews his past mistakes and spiritual malaise, until a mysterious, philosophizing con man grants him a glorious, illuminating moment of truth and understanding, and offers him one last hope ...

When an ambitious teenage girl from Earth finds herself in a magical realm, she could be the hero--but she'd prefer to be the villain. Power-hungry Everly is reborn into a medieval world where elemental magic rules. When she receives her elemental servants--the oddly sadistic Eris and the fun-loving Titania--years earlier than one typically would, she knows she's destined for a command of necromantic magic, the likes of which her peers can only dream. Though she's the bastard daughter of a count and a precariously positioned concubine, Everly is determined to be a conqueror, warlord, and queen. She could be the hero of the realm, the person to save everyone, with her protectors--the Silver Lance--and her beautiful mage lover by her side. But Everly's no hero. She's an aspiring villain, seeking the freedom that comes with doing wrong. And before long, she'll make everyone fear the name of the Empress . . . The first volume of the hit portal fantasy series--with more than 400,000 views on Royal Road--now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
