Quirni – It’s Another World
Please note, I own the copy right on all of my stories. They may not be reproduced complete or in part anywhere without my permission including characters, places, or the story itself.
The following summaries will include spoilers.
The Marrilian: Book One
In The Marrilian, Erica Kinsley becomes the newest Kinsley on Quirni. Erica is smart, gifted, but has an unusual past that comes to light when she tries to fit in. To her horror, she finds out that she’s wanted for the death of over 6,000 people because everyone believes she’s Matilda Kinsley, her cousin.
Erica learns to trust Delegate agents and her cousin but that trust comes at a price. Her love is a Delegate agent who must guard her and use her to help Matilda. She was brought to Quirni to help Matilda and that is what he will do at all costs.
The story follows Erica up to the point where the QSDD uses her as a decoy to confuse the population. Their plan fails because they underestimate the hate Quirni feel for Matilda. The people of Quirni would kill them both rather than let Matilda live.
Nigh: Book Two
Nigh formerly known as Enzus on Fiction Press, is the continuation of the first book. Erica struggles with recovery and a sense of purpose as she continues to live with Matilda. She sees a civil war in the SDD about to start, and the only thing the can do is try to free Matilda from the center of it, and maybe in doing so, help the loyalists take down the faction.
This story follows Erica up to the point when she is named a claimant of Kinsley Claim and James is finally able to tell her how he feels. He proposes to her.
Some new chapters show us James’ points of view and brings out Sal more than she has ever been seen before. It has a lot of new content we hope you’ll love.

Claimant Kinsley: Book Three
Erica Kinsley, the new claimant of Kinsley Claim, finally gains access to the Network and realizes her blackmailer’s club is still in operation. Erica already tried to stop them but something went wrong and the Marrilian Delegate agent she contacted is dead. Worse yet, the club is hunting her down on Quirni. If she wasn’t a claimant, she could deal with them. As a claimant, she is not allowed to put herself in danger, and the Delegate is keen to enforce that rule on her through any means necessary.
The only place she can turn is James’ family. To get their help, she has to reveal all of her criminal past. They knew she had a record but they never knew she was the hated criminal called Eljay and worth millions more than anyone on Quirni could guess.
Money buys power on Quirni, so when High Lord Byrne hears rumors of Erica’s wealth, he tries to undercut her. Marril’s political elite are also scared and angry when they discover Erica is Eljay. The ruling elite on both planets want to either convict her of crimes or remove her powers as a claimant so she can cause no more harm. Erica and her allies fight to avoid either.
In Claimant Kinsley, follow Erica as she struggles with the early days of her new office while trying to clean up her past on Marril a world away.

Eljay’s Promise: Book Four
Erica’s repeated attempts to leave her claimancy failed. Having taken down the previous High Claimant through radical means, she learned she might end up having to take on his duties along with those of her new claimancy. Even though it might put her in danger, Erica intends to fulfill her promise to Jeda and help her.
On top of this, Erica must face her family. To her mortification, they rejected her but if she does the same to them they will be left without money or a home, and desperate. After all, who would associate with a claimant’s family if the claimant won’t? Should she care after the way they treated her?
Demoralized and feeling trapped, Erica fears there is no means to escape Kinsley Claim or the disorder of her own mind. The more power and responsibility placed on her, the louder her other personas get, and the harder it is to control them. Her only hope to keep her sanity is to delegate the workload, but she has no workforce unless she can overcome her feelings for those who rejected her and somehow work with them.
As Eljay, Erica became the richest person on Marril while working outside the law. As Claimant Kinsley, she hopes she can twist the laws to do her bidding and find the means to leave her office. If she leaves, she will be in greater danger as the BMC and Marril both watch and wait to strike her down. She is Eljay the infamous blackmailer and leader of the BMC, a club she betrayed. James prefers his new wife stays in the safety of the claimancy but Erica prefers freedom regardless of the danger that entails.
In Eljay’s Promise continue on the journey with Erica and Matilda as they face interplanetary, internal, and familial struggles on a larger scale than ever before and join her on her wedding day.
- If we can get money from the series, we’ll keep publishing them on Audible but this is where that money runs out right now.
Bliss: Book Five
The fifth book is Bliss. Erica might not want to be a High claimant but the job is hers. As Uncle Cyril guides her and Pearl watches her, she develops initiatives and negotiates with Marril and Sirrus to rise Quirni to the power it ought to be. The BMC isn’t happy about that and they are far more capable than Pearl assumes. Before Erica can get home to her claim she falls to her old club but it isn’t blackmail that they use again her. It is ‘Bliss’.
Abervan: Book Six
Erica has escaped being a claimant and High Claimant but General Pearl won’t let her escape altogether. Pearl knows Erica can help them fight Commander Mitchell Derek’s plans to take over Ipet and become the dictator of Ipet. Pearl’s schemes fail but her old High Claimant, Silas Kinsley, has plans too and before long Erica’s knowledge is exposed. She agrees to help stop Derek because Matilda asks her to. As she begins her fight against him she is dimly aware that her family and friends aren’t telling her everything but what are they hiding? What does her war against Derek mean for her future? What she learns goes beyond anything she could imagine.
Ipet: Book Seven
In Ipet the Defense Delegate stops Commander Derek when he tries to escape the system only to face a stronger, more dangerous threat in one of the Defense Delegate Commanders, Razi. The fight with Commander Derek of the Marrilian Defense Delegate leaves Ipet in a weakened state.
Now, this new government has to face a whole new problem as the fate of Topaz looms on the horizon being picked apart from nearby bases due to infighting among the inner planets. There’s one way out, but first they have to deal with a disaster of a different sort as Eljay’s clumsiness washes her out of reach and into the north.
Ribbon: Book Eight
Eljay is trapped. There’s very rare communication between the unclaimed land north of the mountains she was sucked beneath and the south where her new government is facing off with a dark enemy from Eljay’s past. With no way home, Matilda, Roger, and James have to decipher Eljay’s schemes and enact them with only a week at most.
The problem is that Eljay saw at least two roads ahead and had schemes across Ipet for it’s future success. From Pirates to Empires, they have to decide the best way without their biggest asset.
Oh, and magic powers.
Ipet: Book Nine
Having defeated Razi, Matilda and Roger now have an empire to oversee and the first course of action is to ensure the Griffins don’t have reason to leave the new protectorate because Eljay can’t keep herself in line. The problem? Eljay can’t keep herself in line and has never had to in the past.
Luckily, the Griffins know Blessed Ones and Eljay is one, so there is some leeway with this new ally, but not with the future of Yttria from the rest of those planets that must fall in line.
As Eljay grapples with new abilities that seem to strengthen and morph the more time passes, and Yttria goes to war with a fleet of unknown ships, it’s back to the safety of the Quirni woods after an assassination that nearly takes Eljay out of the game entirely.
Jesse and Eljay: Book Ten
James, Roger, Elsbeth, and Vincent are of to Aulus to take down the tyrannical empire on their throne after the attack on the leaders was taken to Quirni. While they are away, Eljay is left in the unusual predicament of losing her companions once again and turns to an unlikely source for safety and some casual family, her mother-in-law. Not only is it quieter than the mansion, but there is space and time to heal as Eljay has to recover and regrow bone in her leg.
Jesse is excited to get a chance to deep-dive into Eljay’s abilities and figure her daughter-in-law out while the boys are away, but she also has to contend with running the entire Yttrian Defense Delegate while they’re gone. Family is the first solution as Jesse is never without help.
At the mansion, visitors from across Yttria including the Admirals of nearby regions are hounding Matilda for attention and an agreement that will make it treasonous for Eljay to command a military vessel with the punishment of treason being death. Given that Matilda herself would have to say it was treason or not, she’s not opposed to the idea.
- Author’s Note: This is actually all fresh writing that we’re going to publish because of how the story has shifted in the writing process! We hope you enjoy!
Curse: Book Eleven
Vincent’s life has settled into the monotony of staffing problems aside from one thing, Eljay visits regularly and is always into something. Recently, the mansion residents have come to accusing her of alcoholism so bad she’s killing herself, but Vincent isn’t so convinced. Moreover, Jesse keeps demanding that he’s the “Foremost Keeper”, whatever that means.
When Jesse proves beyond anyone’s doubt that Vincent is, indeed, Eljay’s Foremost Keeper, a position of influence with and over a Blessed One and other keepers, Cyril, Matilda, and Renata shove managing Eljay onto him. He falls in the deep end of a conspiracy against the empire through curses on the Empress and Emperor and throughout the mansion itself turning everyone against Eljay in their hearts.
Vincent steps up trying to help Eljay cure curses, but quickly discovers that he can do more good than harm as she cannot necessarily counter his orders given the stronger nature of her powers and his own. Balancing a fine line, they have to face off against Matilda and Roger who have sided with two representatives that have laid thick curses across the mansion and hope that when it’s broken, they will return to their senses and not continue their vengeful anger.

She can’t go outside without a filter. She can’t talk in the open air and Manassas is loose on the planet. He would take her as his Blessed One.

Short Stories
Commander Powell
This is the story of what Eljay knows about Commander Powell. It is also the foundation for how The Consortium and Marril ended up in such a state of disarray. It is one of many short stories that will eventually accompany the books.
