Now available in a single volume, Mikelle Fraizer's Crudic's Apprentice series delves into fantasy-romance, set in modern times. Hailed by readers as writing enthralling, well-developed stories with non-stop action, the conflict in these stories is between two rivals for a Clan Leader position, who both have frightening mental powers. This book includes the following novels: CRUDIC'S APPRENTICE - OVERTURE: An alien who looks human, Zath Zorman is the Apprentice to a powerful, vengeful Clan Leader. When his mentor demands that he kill his brother and father, he has a choice - obey the evil Clan Leader - or fight him. His only chance to ascend as Clan Leader is to take on the challenge. He continues his training under the Clan Leader, gaining deadly skills, until the Clan Leader discovers his secret - he's fallen in love with a human. Jane Grey thinks Zath is handsome, wealthy, and charming. She's twenty, in her first job, and from a Midwestern, middle-class family. When she becomes a pawn in the Clan Leader's plans, her only hope is that Zath values her enough to save her life. Set in modern-day Dallas, Oklahoma and New York, Crudic's Apprentice - Overture is Book 1 in the Crudic's Apprentice series. CRUDIC'S APPRENTICE - INTERMEZZO: Zath Zorman has evolved, with deadly skills that approach the existing Clan Leader's. To become the next Clan Leader, Zath must first gain Crudic's support by killing Crudic's enemies - Zath's father and brother. When Zath's love-interest is captured by Crudic, he must decide whether to do the Clan Leader's bidding, or play a dangerous game of betrayal, in which someone he loves must die. Zath's cousin, Merrick Harmon, is the Commander of the Elite Guards, charged with the Clan Leader's safety. Deep in Merrick's troubled past was a single, bright star: Zath's little sister Erris. Merrick remembers the ten-year-old girl fondly, and when he refuses to kill his Elite Guard trainee, a young man who irritated the Clan Leader, Merrick is punished - and the punishment is that he is sent to kill Erris, now grown to a beautiful, twenty-year-old woman, who captures his icy heart. Crudic's Apprentice - Intermezzo is Book 2 in the Crudic's Apprentice series. It is set in modern-day Dallas, Canada, and Oklahoma. CRUDIC'S APPRENTICE - FINALE: An alien who looks human, Zath Zorman is the Apprentice to a powerful, vengeful Clan Leader. As he comes into his true powers, he realizes that he is losing the love of Jane Grey. She begins to see him as a monster, and not the handsome corporate executive she fell in love with. Sent to Houston to kill his brother, he realizes his dangerous game with the Clan Leader keeps shifting, and he cannot save Jane's life, except by evolving even more into the powerful being who would rule the Clan. Crudic's Apprentice - Finale is Book 3 in the Crudic's Apprentice series. It is set in modern-day U.S. and Canada.
