About RealmShift
Isiah is having a tough time. The Devil is making his job very difficult. That job is to find a Satanist that has used ancient blood magic to escape the Devil’s clutches. The Satanist, Samuel Harrigan, is on the trail of a crystal skull that he believes will complete his efforts to evade Lucifer. Isiah has to keep the Devil at bay, find Samuel and ensure that he gets to his goal. Isiah’s motivation, however, is far from altruistic or really in Samuel’s interest at all. As if this task on its own was not enough, there is a critical time factor, a psychotic mercenary, an unsuspecting journalist and any number of gods, demons and dark creatures to interfere with Isiah’s work. It’s not easy to maintain the Balance.
RealmShift is an engrossing Dark Fantasy thriller and a fascinating exploration of the nature of people’s beliefs and their effect on the world around them. Magic, action and intrigue, from dank city streets to the depths of Hell, will keep you hooked until the final page is turned.

About MageSign
Three years have passed since Isiah’s run in with Samuel Harrigan and the Devil. He has some time on his hands - a perfect opportunity to track down the evil Sorcerer, Harrigan’s mentor. It should have been a simple enough task, but the Sorcerer has more followers than Isiah ever imagined, and a plan bigger than anyone could have dreamed. With the help of some powerful new friends Isiah desperately tries to track down the Sorcerer and his cult of blood before they manage to change the world forever. In this long-awaited sequel to the highly acclaimed RealmShift, Baxter once again keeps a breathless pace and blistering intensity with gods, demons and humans entangled in magic and conflict. This is dark fantasy at its best.
