M.R. Merrick is a Canadian writer, author of The Protector Series and The Rise of Genesis. Having never traveled, he adventures to far off lands through his imagination and in between cups of coffee. As a music lover and proud breakfast enthusiast, he’s usually found at the computer between a pair of headphones and in front of a bowl of cereal.
Wrapped in darkness and woven with defeat, every action Chase has taken since being exiled from the Circle has been met with a devastating response. Now he’s been burdened with a quest that seems impossible, and he needs to evolve into something more—something greater than he ever thought he could be.
After uniting the shifters and calling in reinforcements, Chase has to face his toughest challenge yet: learning to control his emotions. But as tensions rise and his powers grow, controlling his emotions becomes the least of his problems.
Devastated by a terrible loss, Chase is trying to balance the life he’s been left with, a family he’s still getting to know, and power he never thought he’d have. Struggling to control his magic, Chase must decide if stopping Riley is worth risking the lives of everyone he cares about, or if protecting the ring will be enough to save his world.
Chase was destined to be a demon hunter in the Circle, just like his parents, but failing to develop any elemental magic left him exiled. Alone and trying to survive the demons of the Underworld, Chase finds himself fighting his past, and aligning himself with demons to save his future.
