❝All of today, and only today.❞ ☼ ☼ ☼ I want to tell you a story that will break your heart. I want to tell you about a girl who was born to fly and before she could touch the clouds... her wings were ripped away. Her fall was nothing short of excruciating agony, and with it, everything she had ever dreamed was lost. But even when the end seemed near, she chose to live in those delicate moments. She took comfort in the embrace of her three older brothers and they became her strength. Her anchor when the waves kept coming. Her beating heart when all else failed. Until her love was all they had left. And her name will forever be Aida Valievo. ☼ ☼ ☼ NOT INCEST. This book is about sibling bonds through difficult times.

Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

What happens when that's all forgotten? From the moment Nicole laid eyes on Sorin, he seemed so familiar. As their quest brings them closer together it's like she's always known him. Known him well enough to know when he's keeping something from her. Will his secrets reveal her place in the supernatural world or place her in the middle of a supernatural war?

Need to know your creatures and magical beasts? You've come to the right place. This book replicates a geographic textbook. It includes all demons, beasts, creatures and hybrids used within my books. They will not be in alphabetical order until my books are finished because it'll just be extremely difficult to maintain. Some of the creatures are created by me, other's are not (it'll be obvious). If you would like to use my book as reference for your readers so they understand, please ask for permission whether that's on my conversation board or privately. That is my only rule. Enjoy ;) DISCLAIMER: all images have been found on Pinterest and the artist will be mentioned under the pictures. If an artist cannot be found, please help me find them.
