about my bookMy book, which is included in the Cursed Lands boxed set it titled CRIMSON MAGE. Here's the cover and a little about the book.
Mayhara Guatama’s world changed ever since the Purge. The New Asian Administration outlawed mages and forbade the use of their powers. With the absence of a newly reincarnated Lotus Empress, mages everywhere were lost. When the administration threatened to imprison Mayhara’s family, she made a deal with them: surrendering her mage status and agreeing to give her life to the New Order.
Years later, Mayhara is secure in a government job, earning a decent salary and adhering to the administration’s new laws, assured that her family will not be touched. That is, until she receives a mysterious message from her former guru—the guru who helped her develop her mage powers when she attended the mage academy.
When Mayhara realizes the message is a call for help, she is torn between her sworn-off loyalty to the Lotus empire and her new, secure life that guarantees her family’s safety.You'll get this book plus over 20 more when you order the Cursed Lands boxed set.

Bonus Content
Here is the foreword from Crimson Mage, to give you an idea of the world in which this story takes place:
The ancient deity Kashmeru knew only one true love—the Lotus empress Lakshmi, who in his eyes possessed all beauty and grace the universe could hold. Their hearts called to one another, a hold so strong that neither one could deny the bond. But Lakshmi knew that Kashmeru’s spirit was not pure, for an evil dwelled within his soul, a wickedness so corrupt that it could destroy the universe.
And when she denied him her love, that was the very thing he vowed to do.
Throughout the centuries, their reincarnations were drawn to one another, but the outcome was always the same: Lakshmi would never give Kashmeru her heart.
To put an end to his constant chase, the Empire of the Lotus defeated Kashmeru and sealed him in a tomb using mage powers, where he would remain trapped …
… until the Council of the Seven could secure the blood of the Lotus empress to set him free. I hope you're intrigued enough to check it out.
