It's been a year since Clara's magic manifested itself and she was accepted into Linginbaum's School for Magic Users ("witch" is such a dated term). She's made friends, learned new spells, and most importantly begun to master her unique, once-in-a-generation type of magic: mathemagic. To Clara, all the magic in the world is a mass of glowing, rainbow-colored mathematical equations that she can alter and manipulate. She's used her special ability to raise new and lasting Borders between the Ordinary world and Underhill, the secret and fantastic world of witches.And now a new school term has begun, with Clara and her friends returning for classes. But things take a strange turn when Clara's dream-elf friend tells her that there's just one more Border left to raise-and that this one must go in a mysterious, desolate forest far in Underhill's North, where an inscrutable something awaits."Clara shines as a spunky protagonist who is grown-up enough to accept her destiny.... Jones links math and magic in a way that makes math seem cool.... Fresh ideas, some welcome diversity, and memorable character work enliven the material." -Booklife review of Clara Thorn, the witch that was found.

Frank and his crew have truly made it: after unleashing version 2 of Endless Sky, a fully immersive sci-fi role-playing game, they're richer than their wildest dreams. They've built a kick-butt new ship and are prepared to start reaching for the Legendary character levels. Sure, their actual bodies have long since been composted, but they were never planning to leave the game.But then a series of adventures and mishaps-including an assassination mission that might not have gone well-send them spiraling in a new direction. They discover a strange new world that absolutely shouldn't exist in the game, find themselves in the crosshairs of the game's largest polity, the Terran Confederacy, and bereft of any polity to call their own.It's time for the crew of the Pretty, Pretty Princess (never put your ship's name to a vote) to knuckle down and do what they've always done: take lemons and start a new lemonade stand franchising business. They'll need to master new skills, level-up their character sheets, amass millions of Experience Points, and figure out who's actually running the game.Endless Sky: New Worlds is the sequel to Endless Sky: Truthsayer, a sci-fi themed "lightweight" LitRPG (or GameLit, if you prefer) in the vein of "Ready Player One."

It's been six months since Aron of Clan Karal bound the last of the world's fundamental powers, that of Creation and Beginnings, into the long-delayed Fifth Axis. But he immediately vanished, and despite all the power of his own Sixth Axis, Daniel has been unable to locate Aron. Worse, the other adherents, those of Earth and Sky and Flame and Sea, have lost interest in Daniel's search. They've gone back to pursuing their own interests and industries, which Daniel is dismayed to learn includes selling their magic to others of witchkind. Disillusioned by what he sees as the others' lack of a sense of duty, Daniel returns to his Tower of Endings, and continues researching his own mysterious family and their strange, long-running association with the Axis that he-the last of their line-has controlled for the past twenty years. Along the way, he uncovers long-lost magics, unearths dark and petty secrets about his own past, and finally comes to a fruitless, damaging confrontation between Beginnings and Endings.In this third story of witchkind, and the final book in the Adherents of the Axis trilogy, Daniel must face a reckoning between duty and power, understand the relationships between the six Axes and their long-lost origin, and decide whether or not he can rise above the base desires and jealousies that brought him to the Tower in the first place. Along the way, Daniel will encounter some of witchkind's deepest mysteries, along with the simple truths of his people's existence. The Fifth Axis is the engaging and unexpected conclusion to the story that began in Daniel Scratch and continued in Master of the Tower. But it is merely one of the many stories of witchkind."...Jones has created something new, compelling, beautifully written, and somewhat reminiscent of Ursula Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea (1968)...An engrossing, well-written, and original story; readers will be eager for the next installment." - Kirkus Reviews"Vibrating with the ancient, mystical images known as runes and awash in complex moral questions, Jones gives readers much to ponder as [he] thoroughly enchants." - IndieReader"Author Don Jones has crafted a wonderfully compelling tale of magic, witches, and learning your own identity, and one which will be sure to capture the hearts and minds of fantasy readers everywhere." - Readers' Favorite"A fun and refreshingly original exploration of magic ... takes us into uncharted territory which fans of the fantasy genre will certainly applaud. With a genuine sense of wonderment that few novels attain, [this] is a read to be savored and is recommended without reservation!" - BookViral

Three years ago, Daniel Scratch ascended to become Adherent of the Sixth Axis, the primary, magical forces of Endings in the world. Since then, he's tried to use that power for the betterment of all witchkind-despite the "don't bother" attitude of the senior adherents of the other four Axes. The other junior adherents, on the other hand, are much more willing to help the rest of witchkind-especially when it comes to curtailing the humans' use of magic-draining iron.But a critical misstep tears the Veil, the subtle, delicate magic that conceals witchkind's true nature from the humans. Human priests begin calling for a resumption of the Hunts, and the death of all witchkind.To heal the Veil, Daniel must confront his own vulnerabilities, the millennia-old history of his predecessors, and the very nature and reason for his own birth.
