Can we change our destiny or are we subject to the finality of fate?

Psychologist Ophelia Banner finds herself pondering this very question when her life changes drastically after a chance encounter with a golden-eyed stranger. Her new reality is not for the faint-hearted. Thrust straight into a conflict between gods and monsters that has raged for a millennia, she must face the fact that her gift will become the bond that puts a stop to the endless war, or the weapon that may annihilate the conduit world and humanity as we know it.

With no time to hone her skill and her heart torn between two men—the man she is destined to be with or the man she has grown to love—what chance does a simple therapist from California have to save the world?

Found is the first book in The Conduit Chronicles series in which myth and folklore weave a trail full of challenges and adversity for our protagonist, Ophelia Banner. Dive into these pages and join her on her journey.

Interview with the Author

Q: What makes Found special?

A: I believe Found pulls all of the elements I love in an urban fantasy book and adds a little twist. Found has action, a little romance and cool beings with awesome powers who are hidden in plain sight. I personally love historical fiction with origins in magical realism, so I created characters you may have heard of in the history books and brought them to life with new fantastic powers. I also love a good mystery. I have woven little mysteries along with some major twists into the series. I hope that you find yourself enthralled in the story and chasing the clues.

Q: Why should I give Found a try?

A: If you have enjoyed the world building of Kevin Hearne in the Iron Druid Series, the character development in the Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris and the magical twists in The Magicians Series by Lev Grossman with just a touch of the paranormal romance of Stephanie Meyer in the Twilight Series, give Found a shot!

Q: When can I expect the next book?

A: You're in luck, book two- Forsaken is available in December 2018. The rest of the series will follow in 2019, including some short stories and novellas featuring spin off storylines from the characters you love.

What a wonderful book!- Anne Lamott, Author & Writing Teacher

I thoroughly enjoyed all this book offered! I couldn’t put it down and barely came up for air. The character development, storyline, suspense, and creativity is astounding. I am on edge waiting for the release of the second book of The Conduit Chronicles!- Jenna, Amazon Reviewer

Best fantasy I've read in a long time! Found took me by surprise; I'm a rather picky reader but I could not put Found down until I finished it. Ophelia's journey into the world of Conduits is perfectly interwoven with romance, adventure, mystery, historical facts and characters. The Conduit Chronicles has me intriqued and I cannot wait until the next book comes out! For the author: have you thought about spin off stories? These characters are so rich and I'd love to read abouth them too!- Amazon Reviewer

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down! Full of fantasic characters that make you care about what happens next. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!- Holly, Amazon Reviewer

This book weaves an exciting, detailed and well crafted-story about an alternate world within our own. The characters are interesting and you get to know them both through what they say, do, and what is said about them. I was hugely disappointed when the book, and then the excerpt from the next book ended. I can't wait for the second book in the series. It could also clearly be made into a movie, which would be so much fun to watch.- BP, Amazon Reviewer
