The Queen Has to Die. Leah never understood why her mom and aunt made them move so much. Or why her family of freaks could extend vines from their wrists. After getting caught shoplifting, again, Leah is forced to start over in a new town and high school. The friends she makes bring her understanding of the world around her crashing down. They're like her. And they aren't ... human. Digging deeper, Leah finds the answers her mom kept from her all these years. Her dad didn't die in a tragic accident. He was a king, murdered by his sister to steal his throne. Fleeing a besieged palace and pregnant with Leah, her mom turned to the human world, where they were forced to live in hiding. Wanting justice for her parents and the kingdom they once ruled over, and yearning to know how it feels to be amongst people like herself in a realm flooded with energy, Leah forms a plan. Her ticket to learning how to enter the Green Lands, how to use her powers, and how to get in close proximity to the murderous queen-is one of her new friends. He may be handsome and sweet, but Leah's objective is clear. Date him. Get an invite to his brother's wedding, which the queen will be attending. Take care of business. The queen has to die.*The Heir of Exile can be read as a standalone novel, but is best read after the primary Seeder Wars trilogy, starting with Seeder Shadow Wars.*

Lost Secrets of the Green LandsLeading Princess Kaylah to Seeder borders was only Rachel and Saff's first step in stopping a never-ending war. The Ivy queen and king's assassination leaves Prince Soren in sole control of their troops and resources. Banding together, the Unitas group sets out to discover forgotten secrets to their pasts and powers. They work to discover how to cure the poisoned Seeder lands, as well as how to best infiltrate the Ivy palace, all while recruiting and training in secret. Going undercover behind enemy lines, Rachel's forced to face the trauma and betrayals in her past. Saff has to face the family she abandoned, come to terms with news about her unique power-wielding capacity and future, and learn to trust allies of the nation that has already taken too much from her family and people. Tensions rise at the Unitas camp and safe houses, threatening their unity movement. Amidst kidnappings and mysterious disappearances, Unitas is forced to dig deep and take unexpected measures to bring the battle to Soren with hopes of a win.

THE GAME IS CHANGING. It's been three years since Saff made the life-changing decision to embrace her Seeder nature and move to the Green Lands. She loves her job, her husband, her Seeder family, and everything about this enchanting new realm. Life couldn't be more perfect. Except for the disturbing new war tactics displayed by their enemies, the Ivies. Rachel's senior year in high school is anything but typical. Discovering her true identity as a Seeder means learning new abilities, hiding from Ivy assassins, and preparing to leave the human world behind. But something's not right with her powers, causing crippling self-doubt and leading her to make unlikely allies. Rachel's ready to join the rebellion, helping to put an end to centuries of unrest amongst the green folk. But people and promises are rarely as they seem in a war filled with secrets and misdirects. Far from being on the same page, Rachel and her new mentor, Saff, realize they can only take the needed leap of faith by trusting each other. The ultimate goal for them both is to stay alive, find out who they can trust, and just maybe, if they can manage that, they can stop a never-ending war.

Dating and High School: Hard Enough. Now Add Assassins. Avoiding assassination wasn't on Mel's to-do list for her junior year. Learning she wasn't human hadn't made the list, either. An only child with overprotective parents, Melody Walters just wants a drama-free year-and to be able to date. She gains the interest of more than one suitor, but doesn't realize any one of them could be an enemy on the hunt. For her, the dating scene could prove deadly. Mel discovers she's a member of a botanical race, forced to hide their daughters in the human world until they mature enough for their powers to bloom. Something goes wrong with her blooming process, breaking her cover and jeopardizing the lives of her protectors and the large family she'd never known about. With the enemy threat ever-looming, in a rush to master her new powers before she's stranded in the human world forever, Mel struggles to decide who she can trust and if the sacrifice being asked of her is too great. PRAISE FOR SEEDER SHADOW WARS"Seeder Shadow Wars presents the genuinely strong female protagonists that are missing in a lot of young adult fantasy today. This book has all the elements of great storytelling--relatable and complex characters, a great and accessible magic system, and deep themes." -CM Adler, author of The Witches of Grimm Series"SEEDER SHADOW WARS thrusts the reader into a duplicitous setting in our world, where anyone may be a friend, foe, or family member. J. Houser provides the reader with a world within our own, complete with botanical beings in an age-old war. It is the first book in the series, and I can't wait to read more." -Courtnee Turner Hoyle, author of The Pale Woods Mystery Series
