The Iron Soul series by J.M. Briggs (#2-10)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 3.5 MB
Overview: I had the great fortune to be born to a pair of fantasy and science fiction loving parents who believed in reading me epic bedtime stories. Growing up my favorites included the Chronicles of Narnia, Ronald Dahl books, the Phantom Tollbooth and the Hobbit. My parents would often have to tell me to turn my flashlight off at night when I tried to sneak a few more minutes of reading in. My younger brother was just as bad if not worse.
Currently I am living back in my home town which keeps me close to my parents, brother and uncle and aunt. Rather than working in politics, I instead work in the nonprofit sector local which I love. When I come home from my job I spend a few hours each night on my passion of writing. Outside of writing I love to read which I’m sure is no surprise. Additionally I enjoy crochet and hand embroidery which I often do to audio books. I listened to the complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes while embroidering a gold dragon head on a drawstring bag for a family member. My favorite color is blue, I love dragons, can’t handle most spicy foods, scream in terror at almost any horror film and enjoy hiking. I consider myself very lucky to have the amazing family I do, to have had the chance to do the brilliant things I’ve done and to have my passion for writing. I hope that you enjoy reading my stories even half as much as I enjoy writing them.

2. The Iron Gate
When the physical forces of multiple worlds come into conflict, magic appears. On our world certain humans are given the ability to control this energy in order to fight back the threat. In Ravenslake, home to a small university, a new generation of mages has been called forth as an ancient enemy of Earth seeks to return for slaves and control over the world.
Alex Adams now has at least some control over her magical powers, though magic lessons with Merlin and Morgana are still on the agenda. The more she learns about the war she’s now a part of, the less confident she feels. She still has feelings for Arthur Pendred despite his status as the reincarnation of the warrior mage who inspired the story of King Arthur. Complicating things are his girlfriend Jenny who is Guinevere and his best friend Lance is of course Lancelot. That story never ends well and to protect Arthur, Merlin and Morgana are ready to destroy the threat even if it costs Alex her friends. With the Sídhe still poised to attack, it is only a matter of time before an ancient betrayal destroys the fragile balance.
3. The Iron Sword
Magic arises when invaders from other worlds threaten the Earth and it empowers mages to fight back the threat. Legend and history blur when mages emerge to protect the world and now they are needed once more. The newest generation of mages is struggling to balance their ordinary lives as college students in the small town of Ravenslake and their duty to defend an entire world from beings whose very physical nature is utterly alien.
Still, Alex Adams can’t help but feel optimistic. She has control over her power thanks to the help of the legendary Merlin and Morgana and the reborn Iron Soul Arthur Pendred is her boyfriend with the sad reoccurring history of Lance and Jenny behind them. With the help of her friends, Alex feels ready to confront the threats to the Earth and repair her friendship with Jenny. Yet the mysterious Old One Chernobog is on his way with only a strange vision to guide them: a vision that warns of betrayal.
4. The Iron Chalice
Alex Adams never considered herself a hero, much less the hero of the magical war she found herself a part of. She was only a mage because worlds never meant to interact were doing so. Merlin and Morgana trained her to control her powers, but nothing had prepared her for Arthur. Yet Alex has a promise to keep even if she didn’t feel ready. Aiden’s life was hanging in the balance and their best chance was in an artifact created by another Iron Soul and lost centuries ago. Now the newest generation of mages must leave Ravenslake behind and find the Iron Chalice to have any hope of saving their friend.
Years after losing Arto to Medraut’s betrayal Merlin and Morgana discover a young man with familiar talents. He is the key to answering a question from their past and revealing their futures. However, the Old One Badb is seeking the power of Cathanáil. It had taken all their power and the Iron Soul to end the last war, but now a new battle is looming on the horizon.
5. The Iron Bound
They saved Aiden, but Arthur is still out there and fae creatures have gone mad. Ravenslake is under attack from beings that have lived peacefully on Earth for thousands of years. Alex wasn’t supposed to be the hero of the story, but she has to step into the role. The responsibilities of guarding the Iron Realm, leading the mages, rebuilding her friendship with Jenny and Lance, and protecting her family have landed on Alex’s shoulders. Strange dreams aren’t making things any easier. As the pieces fall into place, Alex learns that not all past incarnations of the Iron Soul have been good and the worst is haunting her present.
In the past, the Sídhe haven’t given up on taking the Iron Realm, but their latest efforts have twisted the magic of the Iron Gates. Corrupted Sídhe known as Dark Elves threaten the villages of ancient Norway. A young man named Thor with magical powers steps forward to save not only humanity but the Old Ones and the peaceful Sídhe regardless of what Merlin and Morgana have to say.
6. The Iron Hammer
The past and the present blur as Alex dreams of lives and times not her own. With the magically bound fae still out for blood, the mages need a way to break the spell and fast. Merlin seeks Mjǫllnir, the Iron Hammer forged by the Iron Soul incarnation Thor. Driven by her dreams, Alex and her friends travel to Paris to search there for the Iron Hammer and unravel the mystery of its past while waiting for Arthur’s next move.
Long ago, the young mage Thor seeks to understand the strange magic he wields and the mighty hammer that he has created. His feelings for the Old One Sif and the continued danger of the Dark Elves complicate his once simple life. In World War II a German professor is pulled into the Nazi party and their quest for power. He faces strange visions of the past and a heartbreaking choice. They share the same soul and a connection to the Iron Hammer, but their lives take very different directions as both seek to protect their world.
7. The Iron Cursed
Magic can’t fix everything. The war with Scáthbás and Arthur has claimed the lives of Alex’s parents and there is no end in sight. While the Fae have been freed from the power of the Iron Chain, there are plenty who blame the mages and the Iron Soul for their enslavement. At night, Alex’s dreams are being stalked by the Old One Brekszta who forces Alex to relieve her own deaths and memories from her other lives. It is only a matter of time before something breaks.
Leugio never planned on becoming involved with the mysterious Sídhe who lived in the mount near his village, but when his sister vanished he had no choice. Yet saving her thrust Leugio into the war brewing on the horizon. With no help in sight, it falls to him to protect Ireland from the growing Sídhe threat.
8. The Iron Trishula
A call from an ancient ally takes the mages to India. A Demon horde has found a way around the defense of the Iron Gates and is building an army to take over the Iron Realm. The Desai family, descendants of one of the past Iron Souls, welcome the mages with open arms, but how can Alex reconcile with an old family when she’s lost her modern one?
Lokpal was a warrior, trained from childhood to protect his home from the Demons who wander the land. Nothing prepared him for a god slipping into madness. When two strangers with magic arrive, he must navigate between his culture, his family, his beliefs, and the long-standing traditions upheld by the Grand Mages if they have any chance of stopping the Demons.
9. The Iron Seal
Alex and her fellow mages are trying to settle into the routine of another school year, but Arthur and Queen Scáthbás are still plotting. As the attacks on their Ravenslake home increase, the mages must discover new ways of using their magic and to protect each other. Questions about the Demons, the Sídhe, and the Tree of Reality linger, and Alex knows she has to find the answers before it’s too late.
Dobiemir was a farmer and a father. With his only remaining child sick, that was all he wanted to be. But strange creatures made of cold and shadow are stalking his home. The harvest is dying from their cold, and his son is growing worse. Hope comes in the form of two strangers with great powers who even have the assistance of gods, but they aren’t content to deal with this themselves. They drag Dobiemir into their dangerous world to confront the mad god Chernobog.
10. The Iron Shadow
Investigating the Tree of Reality is Alex’s priority regardless of Merlin and Morgana’s doubts. She knows that Arthur is seeking information as well, but the question is why. With the Darkness looming and Arthur’s power growing, the mages have little time to find answers. Even worse, a new threat has entered the Iron Realm which will test the Iron Soul as it has never been before.
Nicolas was not Morgana and Merlin’s ideal incarnation of the Iron Soul. So, they dealt with him. With a child Iron Soul now in their care and the population of Fae rising throughout Europe, the Grand Mages know it is only a matter of time before violence erupts. But a strange dancing plague and a new Fae leader calling himself Oberon was not something they could have ever predicted.
