How much would you give to live your fantasy? Think fast—your Wishstone is waiting.

At Atlanta’s Dragon-Con, nine fan girls make a wish on the mysterious ancient artifact known as the Wishstone and find themselves transported to the world that inspired their favorite TV series. Only the show couldn’t begin to prepare them for the real thing.

Domain is a world without change, frozen in a time of magic and superstition, where the immortal sons of the goddess Reyah fight a never-ending war—mostly with themselves. Reyah doesn’t seem to care. The way she sees it, her boys will be boys. They’ll settle down once they meet the right girls.

But Earth girls aren’t that easy. They’ve got serious issues with this gig. They like their computers, cell phones, double-ply toilet paper.

And they don’t believe in fate.

Welcome to Domain.

  1. Jean Marie Ward & Teri Smith make Domain seem like a real realm due to the reactions of the transported conventioneers. The characters are very believable as they adapt to having real powers that they must learn to use properly as opposed to role-playing. Fans will never look at Atlanta’s DragonCon the same way again after this fun filled fantasy. This reviewer’s only wish when she attends the 07 Con on the Labor Day weekend is more tales in the realm of Domain. WITH NINE YOU GET VANYR is a great fantasy.

  2. "With Nine You Get Vanyr is a rapid-pace, fascinating contemporary fantasy in which everything we consider to make up our consensus reality is overturned, and fantasy-quite literally-becomes reality. Teri Smith and Jean Marie Ward have written up a storm in this story, and this reviewer hopes to see more from this collaboration, and soon. The plot is thought-provoking, the characters are in the midst of coming-of-age identity crises, and the immortals are seriously hot. What more could a reader request? Sometimes a reviewer begins to read a story and simply forgets immediately she is reading for review; it doesn't happen sufficiently often, but With Nine You Get Vanyr is one fine example."

  3. "With each page, from start to finish, this reviewer couldn’t put this book down. Full of intricate details, many twists and turns and so much sexual tension between the main characters, this reviewer almost thought her computer was going to combust! Run to grab this exciting new book from Ms. Smith and Ms. Ward. With Nine You Get Vanyr is truly one of those books destined to be a timeless classic. "

  4. "The writing team of Jean Marie Ward and the late Teri Smith have penned a fantastic fantasy novel… I can only hope that Ms. Ward will craft more tales set in this world."

  5. "At almost 400 pages in length and riddled with media references -- movies, television, books, cartoons, and music -- With Nine You Get Vanyr is a long, delightful read. You will need several bowls of popcorn and a gallon or two of your favorite beverage."

  6. "Ms. Smith has left a legacy that Ms. Ward will hopefully continue."

  7. “An intriguing blend of fantasy and science fiction, this story is full of action and fascinating characters. It has skillful world-building, and the scene changes to keep track of the action of many characters are adroitly done.”

  8. “Deryk and his erotic relationship with his snake are pretty smoking…”
