The Salvia Series by author J. B. Salix is a multi-book contemporary science fantasy set primarily in present-day Canada. This story follows a young female protagonist, Salvia Cyr, during her unexpected-and brutal-initiation into a world she never knew existed. It's a world dominated by violence, and the males who perpetuate it.
These men hunger for wealth and territory. They would both use and destroy her; for they know that her abilities can tip the balance of power.
Determined to live by her own rules, Salvia attempts to escape her destiny. But if she's to have a meaningful life, she'll need to wield her incredible power to her advantage, not theirs.
This is the story of a young woman's perseverance and triumph against the odds. Yet it is also a story of love. A love that strengthens and endures. A love, and a life, worth fighting for.
Reader review:
One of the most well written thrillers I have ever read.
I could not put it down! I loved the complexity of the characters, the twists in the plot all set against the backdrop of the Thousand Islands.
Can’t wait for the next book in the series!
Reader review:
What an amazing second book! I loved the first book, Salvia, but this one is even better.
It's beautifully written with intriguing, funny and intense characters.
I could not stop reading once I started it.
Reader review:
Book three brilliantly escalates the stakes, creating more suspense
and intrigue that kept me on edge while resolving some of the mysteries of the previous books.
The characters evolve in amazing ways that left me guessing at every turn. What a wonderful series!
Coming in 2026.

Our logo features a bird clinging to a chimney-shaped stack of books.
This special bird is known as the Chimney Swift and spends most of its life in flight. It often builds its nest on the vertical surface of chimneys.
Sadly, a loss of nesting sites means that these birds are in decline.
Should you find an unexpected guest in your chimney, we hope you'll consider sharing, just a little while.
