The Nyx Fortuna Novels - Michelle Manus

Guardian of Chaos – Nyx Fortuna #1

Welcome to Earth Between. The inhabitants are magical, the fugitives dashing, and the new Guardian is having a seriously strange life.

It’s easy to feel forgettable. Nyx literally is, and the condition seems to be getting worse.

Homeless, alone, and with no memory of her past, she’s at the end of her rope when she stumbles into Earth Between. Here, a Waystation connects the planet to the rest of the inhabited universe, and magic and intergalactic travel are just the order of the day.

Becoming the Station’s Guardian seems too good to be true. It means a home and stability, surrounded by people who can actually remember she exists. But when an illegal traveler slips into Earth Between, she’s given an ultimatum: apprehend him or lose Guardianship of the Station.

Nyx will do whatever it takes to keep her new life, even if it means following the fugitive to the world’s most dangerous prison planet. But that action has life-altering consequences, thrusting her into the middle of a conflict that started centuries before her birth.

Nyx is about to come face to face with the powers of the universe—and discover that being seen is even harder than being forgotten.

Honorable mention in the fantasy category of the Writer’s Digest 9th Annual Self-Published E-Book Awards.

Guardian of Shadows – Nyx Fortuna #2

She’s been to the universe’s prison planet, why not check the black market off her bucket list next?

Life at Nyx’s Station has been a little tense of late. There are the fugitives she’s hiding, the Harvester of Worlds she still doesn’t know what to do with, and then there’s the ex-boyfriend she’s been avoiding. So when someone from her elusive past shows up in Earth Between, Nyx jumps at the distraction—and the chance to finally get some answers.

The only problem is, her childhood friend Seth has no intention of answering any of those questions. When he portal-jumps to the forbidden Shadow Market, it should be a guaranteed escape from a Station Guardian, but Nyx’s altered bond with her Station means following him is a possibility. One she has every intention of making a reality.

Her newfound friends insist on coming with her, and really, what’s the worst that could happen from taking three ex-Enforcers, two Amazons, and one Tiagren shifter to the world’s most notorious black market planet?

Guardian of Madness – Nyx Fortuna #3

This time, leaving Earth was not Nyx’s choice…

After her latest trip off-planet, Nyx Fortuna has every intention of keeping both feet firmly in her Station. Between trying to figure out why the Kumir have been hunting her friend Seth, searching for a way to destroy the Harvester of Worlds, and getting frustrated by the glacially slow return of her memories, she doesn’t have any time for planet-hopping.

Unfortunately, the universe has other plans. When she’s abducted from Earth Between, Nyx finds herself in the remote reaches of the universe, on planets unreachable by the Station’s ley-lines. Her only hope lies in the portal magic she’s only just discovered she has. But even if she can master its use, does she have enough magic—and determination—to find her way back home?

Guardian of Torment – Nyx Fortuna #4

Just once, Nyx Fortuna would like something in her life to be easy…

Nyx has finally managed to dismantle the magic keeping her from her missing memories, but things are a bit…fractured. Her mind keeps slipping into different points in her past, and she’s not always aware of when the present is.

The issue couldn’t have come at a worse time, because she finally has a lead on the Kumir—the race of identical assassins who have hunted the Hidden to the brink of extinction—but following that lead involves another interstellar trip. Recognizing that covert operations on a foreign planet aren’t a good idea with her current problems, Nyx reluctantly agrees to let her friends go without her.

But when a malfunctioning memory combines with an unintended use of portal magic, Nyx ends up right where she shouldn’t be. Complications prevent her from returning to Earth, leaving Nyx to navigate an alien metropolis while hoping her skipping memory doesn’t get her killed.

Guardian of Defiance – Nyx Fortuna #5

The book cover for Guardian of Defiance, the fifth book in the Nyx Fortuna contemporary fantasy series. A woman holding a bo staff stands before a griffin, while the sky rains fire in the background.

If only visiting old friends was merely a social call…

When Nyx’s quest to discover the secrets behind the Harvester’s rings leads her to the Meerkin homeworld of Kyvren, she’s only too happy to have an excuse to visit them.

Since going their separate ways from Arkadia’s Station, she’s been unable to find any information on the state of their planet—or their attempt to reclaim it—and she only knows of one entity capable of covering up a civil war.

Of course, the one person who could probably answer every question she has is also the last person she wants to ask.

But as Nyx dives beneath the surface of the conflict on Kyvren, circumstances may have her spending a little more quality bonding time with that individual than she’s comfortable with…

Guardian of Wrath – Nyx Fortuna #6

The book cover for Guardian of Wrath by Michelle Manus. Cover features a brunette woman holding a sword and standing in front of a large griffin. She has a fierce expression on her face.

Kiev A-Morridahn must pay.

This is the vow Nyx Fortuna has sworn. Keeping it is all but impossible, but it is the one thing that motivates her.

Whatever she must do, she will do. Whatever she must sacrifice, she will give.

But if she succeeds, she’ll have to reckon with everything she’s pushed aside in her quest for vengeance. As it turns out, feelings—and friends—don’t like being ignored.
