Don’t know where to start with her vast body of work? Check out these ten essential Katie MacAlister must-reads.
Fireborn
Katie MacAlister’s stunning Born Prophecy Series begins with this novel about an ancient world at war with itself, and the three unlikely heroes who must find a way to trust and hope enough in each other to put it back together. The third novel in the series, Shadowborn, hits shelves on June 9th, so now is the perfect time to dive into this unique realm.
When the land of Starborn is invaded and the ancient prophecy broken, the lives of Allegria, Hallow, and Deo are upended.
Allegria fled the priesthood and now holds the power of the sun in her hands. Hallow has ascended to a role he was unprepared to take on; and Deo must harness the power of their enemies to try and restore peace.
Together, they hold the fate of the world in their hands.
Starborn
In the sequel to Fireborn, one battle may have ended, but another is only beginning. Our heroes must find a way to retrieve a triad of sacred moonstones.
Allegria and Hallow take off at sea on their quest for the artifacts, but their efforts may prove futile — after all, no mortal has ever survived the trip to Eris.
Shadowborn
Caught between three realms and facing a god on a rampage, Allegria, Hallow, and Deo try to put their world back together and end this battle once and for all.
The tides are turning in their favor. But for how long?
When Allegria is taken and her memory fades, Hallow and Deo must face the gods head-on to get her back. Only the power of all three will be enough to save the Fourth Age.
You Slay Me

When she stumbles across someone who looks exactly like the stranger from her dreams, she questions everything she thought was true...
Ghost of a Chance
Karma Marx is an expert exorcist. She exorcises ghosts from haunted houses for a living, and while there is no spirit she can’t banish, she can never seem to exorcise her husband from her life.
Karma wants out of the marriage badly, so they cut a deal: she’ll exorcise one more home, but then she wants a divorce.
With the terms agreed to, things begin to look up. But when something goes very awry during the rites and her husband ends up dead, Karma has much bigger problems on her hands than an unfulfilling marriage.
Originally written under the pen name Kate Marsh, this detour into the world of spirits and mystery is a ghostly good time.
Dragon Fall
