Some monsters are born. Others are made. Zora’s about to find out which she is.

Zora Haynar thought she was human, working a dead-end job and trying not to think about the future. Then one night ended in blood, death, and a supernatural drug called Pulse, leaving her best friend poisoned and pulling Zora into Budapest’s underworld of monsters.

Pulse is spreading. Vampirs are losing control, humans are dying, and the city teeters on the edge of chaos. To save her best friend, Zora is forced into an uneasy alliance with Kálmán Fekete—the most powerful Vampir Lord in Europe, feared even among other vampires. He’s dangerous, commanding, and exactly the kind of man she doesn’t want near her… yet the pull between them sparks from the start, even as distrust keeps them at odds.

But Zora isn’t just caught between sides. Something inside her is waking: shadows that answer her call, blood that doesn’t obey the rules. If she can’t master it, she won’t just lose her best friend. She’ll become the very monster they’ve all been waiting for.

Pulse Rising, the first book in The Hollós Legacy trilogy, is a dark, slow-burn urban fantasy romance for fans of Karen Marie Moning and Carissa Broadbent. Expect supernatural suspense, reluctant allies, and a forbidden attraction that refuses to stay buried.

Return to the DFZ in this standalone series full of dragons, mages, and the deadly perils of freelance employment, now complete at three books!

Making a living is hard. Making a living in a lawless city where gods are real, dragons are traffic hazards, and buildings move on their own can feel downright impossible.

Good thing freelance mage Opal Yong-ae has never let little things like impossibility stop her. She’s found a way to put her overpriced magical art history degree to use as a Cleaner: a contract municipal employee who empties out abandoned apartments and resells the unusual treasures she finds inside for a profit. It’s not a pretty job, or a safe one--there’s a reason she wears bite-proof gloves--but when you’re neck-deep in debt to a very magical, very nasty individual, you can’t be picky about where the money comes from.

But even Opal’s low standards are put to the test when the only thing of value in her latest apartment is the body of the previous tenant. Dealing with the dead isn’t technically part of her job, but this mage died hiding a secret that could be worth a lot of money, and Opal’s the only one who knows. With debts she can’t pay due at the end of the week, this could be the big break she’s been waiting for, but in a city of runaway magic where getting in over your head generally means losing it, the cost of chasing this opportunity might be more than Opal can survive.

MINIMUM WAGE MAGIC is for anyone who likes their Urban Fantasy fun and action-packed with humor, heart, and a whole lot of not-taking-itself-too-seriously. If you're ready to dive into a living city where the capitalism is rampant and the dragons are hungry, you've found the right place. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Lindsay Buroker, Annette Marie, T.A. White, and Martha Wells!

"A catchy title, a plucky protagonist and a maximum effort by the author, honestly readers can't ask for more in the urban fantasy genre."- Fantasy Book Critic

"The world building is exceptional. Aaron weaves information, rules and more into the story rather than giving us large information dumps. All of which allows for a well-paced, suspenseful and addictive tale." - Caffeinated Reviewer

"I love fantasy, but i haven't really enjoyed urban fantasy since reading Charles DeLint's Widdershins & related books an age ago (which is a decidedly less sci-fi influenced urban fantasy) -- but I LOVED this. I'm looking forward to reading all the books in DFZ universe. If you like underdogs with a heart of gold, snark, brave heroines and the fantasy genre at all...you gotta read this!" - 5 Star Review

"Fantastic characters, an amazing storyline and gags galore whipped into a mesmerizing tale. Well worth reading. Get it now & get reading." - 5 Star Review

"I was happy to be back to the DFZ and even if the characters are totally new it's still the same atmosphere and Opal and Nik's adventures are really entertaining. I hope there will be more!" - 5 Star Review
