Magic Unfurled - Book 1
Two kinds of people inhabit my world: those with loads of magic and those with little or none. The Haves—usually warlords and their henchmen—use their arcane abilities to keep the Have Nots firmly squashed beneath their enchanted thumbs.
Unfortunately, I fall into the second category.
The only thing worse in this lawless and brutal world than being magically stunted?
Being a woman.
On my own since age eleven, I stayed alive by posing as a boy, stealing to keep my belly full, and never lingering in one place for long. Lonely? Sure, but it kept me safe for eight long years. Until I picked the wrong gang to filch a loaf of bread from. If not for the magically skilled warriors who saved me, the blunder surely would have been my last. While the last place I wanted to be was in the hands of a warlord, they didn’t give me much choice.
I fully intended to get the hell out of their camp at the first opportunity. And I would have, too, if everyone hadn’t been so damned nice. Or not dangled an offer to teach me how to use the powerful magic I didn’t know I had.

This book is full of drama, clever humor, and interesting characters. M.L. Ryan has crafted a plot that you'll lose yourself in, the world-building skills are amazing, and the attention to detail adds so much texture and volume. Grab Magic Unfurled the first chance you get.

Magic Concealed - Book 2
You can run from your problems, but somehow new ones find you anyway.
Forced to flee to another dimension—one I previously had no clue even existed—to keep myself safe turned out to be no picnic, either.
Learning English—the most confounding language ever created—and figuring out how to use modern technology like cell phones and indoor plumbing, I began to question the wisdom of the decision almost immediately. Worse, in the human dimension—advertised as equitable and orderly—women still faced problems that were not entirely different from those in Dekankara.
They weren’t always protected from the men in their lives who wanted to control them, and I planned to use every trick in my arcane toolkit to change that.

Oh boy, how did I miss this series? I loved the humor, the witty dialogues, and the constant action. The pace never slowed down, and that kept me excited for more. I loved how author M. L. Ryan touched on intense topics without sounding too jaded or biased. R. Tanveer, Reader's Favorite reviewer
Sensitive treatment of the highly charged topic of domestic abuse and the pitfalls of reporting it. And does so with humor. Who knew? The non violent vigilante justice is brilliant and satisfying. BONUS! Ties in with my all time favorite series, the Coursodon Dimension, also by this author. Sophie, Amazon customer
Having patiently waited for the second book in this series, I can say that it was worth the wait. It continues the adventure from the 1st book, with a twist that brings the reading experience a lot closer to home. Alan, Amazon customer
