What would you do to save a sister?

As the last mortal kingdom of Kepler resists the Immortal Empire, its young queen faces a devastating attack. Queen Vivian is two minutes into her reign when an arrow pierces her heart and infects her with the Immortality Virus. But she has too much magic to become immortal and not enough to survive. She must find more magic fast, or she’ll die.

Meanwhile, another young mortal faces an uncertain future of her own. Carina is fleeing for her life, but her magic is a tracking beam for immortals. She must learn to harness and control it, or she’ll be captured and killed. Then she meets the queen of South Kepler.

Vivian needs Carina’s magic, and she can offer safe haven in exchange. But can Vivian trust this common girl? Carina isn’t on the kingdom’s registry of magicians. What if she’s a Northern rebel? A spy for the Immortal Empire? And will the truth be revealed in time to save them both?

Editorial Reviews

“The important part is that I wasn’t focused on the pin. I was focused on myself and my own energy: how fast I’m moving, with how much force. How much momentum I have. I can’t change the nature of the object I’m trying to move or how it naturally behaves. But if I change myself, I change what the object has to react to, and it does something different than before.”
Queen Vivian of South Kepler
Sisters of the Perilous Heart, p. 241

Kingdoms of the Frozen Heart

Mortal Heritance | Book Two

ISBN: 978-1-950989-02-7
Publisher: Mortal Ink Press LLC
Release Date: 25th January 2021

Do you know your true enemies?

Until a few months ago, Carina was an orphan on the run. Now she’s the crown princess of North Kepler, and she has a lot to contend with. There’s the elitist Royal Society of North Kepler and her dad, the king, who insists on a personal security team for Carina the size of a small army. But the princess can’t defeat the patriarchy until she conquers her own magic. So when a trusted friend shows up and offers to train Carina, she should be thrilled. Problem is, her new teacher comes with two guys she never wanted to see again: her immortal ex-boyfriend and the crown prince of South Kepler.

Speaking of which, Prince Nathanial, the new crown prince of South Kepler, is grieving his sister’s death and hiding from his kingdom with his mentor, a fugitive who refuses to allow Nate to return home. All Nate wants is to abdicate his title to his brother and clear his mentor’s name. After all, Nate can barely contain his own magic. He knows he’s not king-material! What he doesn’t know is the disturbing secret his brother is keeping locked in a tower in the castle at Alighieri. Or how he’s going to stop his new immortal buddy Max from going after Princess Carina. (Doesn’t Max know how dangerous that girl is?)

With North and South Kepler both in disarray, how will either crown withstand mounting attacks from the Immortal Empire?

“There were things South and North Kepler would never agree about, but Nate knew the Northern Royals weren’t the enemy. Not generally anyway. They were more like a brother you didn’t get along with. You didn’t annihilate your own brother for having some opinions you didn’t like and not doing everything your way.”
Prince Nathanial of South Kepler
Kingdoms of the Frozen Dead, p. 386

How long is eternity?

Stella Rose knows her doting boyfriend, Myles, will do anything for her. Then she tests positive for the ALZ-10 gene, which gives her a 96% chance of developing Early Alzheimer’s by age fifty, and their future together falls apart. Stella’s best chance is to apply for the Immortality Program.

If Stella applies, Myles will too, but Myles has everything going for him as a mortal. Plus, his incredibly conservative, wealthy, powerful family abhors immortality. Stella must choose between thirty years of mortal bliss with Myles or a forever without him, unless Myles has other plans…

Stella Rose Gold for Eternity is the first of The Immortal Mistakes, a set of novellas leading up and in the same world as the Mortal Heritance series. Enjoy The Immortal Mistakes as stand-alone stories or to learn more about familiar faces from the Mortal Heritance.|

"But personally, I think the “you’re too young for real love” line is bullshit adults say because they’ve already had time to make all kinds of mistakes, and they think love is the biggest mistake of all...Never mind that adults ask teenagers to make huge decisions about their futures all the time."

Mila Hildebrand is Forever Not Yours is the third book in The Immortal Mistakes series. But this is just the beginning. See where immortality takes your favorite immortals in Sandra L. Vasher’s Mortal Heritance series.

She looks up at the stars. “I don’t know if I like it here,” she says. “It seems like things should be different now that we’re immortal, but people are still the same to me. They jeer at me. They shut me out. I don’t know what I do to make them act like that.” She points up at the moon. “I wish I could just live up there, alone, you know? Maybe with an internet connection.”
I’ve had thoughts like that before, and I think I’m falling for her, and I don’t know it then, but that moment is sealing both my destiny and hers.
