The Madness Method

The Madness Project (The Madness Method #1)

If everything you thought you knew was a lie, how much would you sacrifice to learn the truth?

In a world that shuns magic…

…the Crown Prince hides his power.

But how long can he keep it secret?

Seventeen-year-old Prince Tarik is only too happy to ignore his magical powers, until an underground society of mages is blamed for a ruthless assassination plot.

None of his father’s spies can get close to the group.

Tarik is the only one who can, if he uses his long-buried power. But who can he turn to for help?

Friendship is a strange word on the streets…

…and trust is stranger still.

But as Tarik fights to stay undetected with plots of rebellion tightening around him, he wins an unlikely ally in Hayli, a shapeshifter mage.

Hayli has spent her life on the streets, trying to forget her own strange magic. Meeting Tarik brings her closer to her power than she ever believed possible. But is he too dangerous to trust?

If they join forces, will they be strong enough to survive the city’s darkest currents…

…or will they fall together? 

A Dark So Deep (The Madness Method #2)

Some things are meant to be broken…

Beloved prince, rebel, traitor…

…Tarik brought his country to the brink of war.

Can he now bring peace before he loses his own sanity?

With Hayli in the grips of the Science Ministry and his allies in hiding, Tarik must wrestle his own demons before he forgets his reason for fighting.

Some believe he is the key to defusing the hostilities.

Some believe he is the only one who can save the mages from annihilation…

…but at what cost?

While Tarik fights to protect his people, Hayli must defend her life and her sanity long enough to escape her captors. But can she ever truly be free?

As the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur, only one question matters.

If the price for peace is too high…

…is war the only option?

A Sea Like Glass (The Madness Method #3)

I am the sea, ruled by no one…

Tarik, Hayli and their crew tried to stop the insurgency…

…but they failed.

The monarchy has fallen, the nation is leaderless, and world war looms.

Heartbroken, Tarik escapes Cavnal and risks everything on a perilous voyage to the harsh and hostile country of Istia…

…to secure an alliance that could stop the war.

But the only way to win the Istians’ support is to take power. Can he win their trust before it’s too late?

Or is his mind already too lost to madness to be saved?

Without Tarik’s leadership, Hayli and the remnants of his crew try to put the pieces of their lives back together. But then a rogue mage arrives in Brinmark with a claim that should be impossible…

…a claim that threatens the last fragile threads of stability in Cavnal.

And even as nations rise and fall and war creeps closer, ancient powers are stirring, sweeping everything—and everyone—into their eternal conflict.

The Hollow King (The Madness Method #4)

    I just finished A sea like glass and it ended on a cliff hanger which really sucks because I have finished the series in about a week because it was so good so I was wondering if you were planning on writing any more books in The Madness Method series? Love your books I have read all The Lost Road books and loved them and now I just finished all the Madness Method books.

    1. Thank you so much for writing! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the books so much! 🙂 Yes, A Sea Like Glass is definitely not the end of the story. There will be two more books in the series…and I’m also working on another story set in Tarik’s world but taking place about 600 years in the past, which I’m super excited about! I’ll be announcing the title of Madness Method #4 soon, so stay tuned! 🙂
