Lucienne Elizabeth Alcott, or Liz, lives in a world where elves and dwarves walk amongst humans, goblins and werewolves run rampant through the night, and even dragons can be seen in the skies if you're lucky - or unlucky. The middle of seven princesses, she was never expected to take the throne. She was content to practice swordsmanship, eat good food, and run barefoot throughout the castle grounds. Until her father agreed to marry her off to a neighboring country's prince. Liz ran away that night, and now she lives her days with the Night Stalkers, a secretive guild where her talents of lying and sneaking were celebrated. She collects work assassinating cases that catch her eye or pulling off major heists. Now, she has been tasked with a top secret and dangerous mission. She must infiltrate a powerful yet debauched Baron's mansion and gain information on his next moves. To do this, she will need to lie, sneak, and even...seduce. Join Lucienne as she traverses politics, intrigue, and maybe love.

Targeted by superpowered terrorists, an actress is protected by the government's strongest guardian--the same woman who broke her heart two years ago. ☆ Elsie Bates won't deny that she's made a few enemies during her fifteen-year acting career, but she never thought her actions would warrant her death at the hands of meta-human terrorists. As if that wasn't bad enough, her federally appointed bodyguard is the famous Camilla Wyatt, the most powerful guardian in the country and Elsie's sworn enemy. Because behind Camilla's sunny personality is a cold and heartless young woman, and no one but Elsie knows the truth. At least, that's what Elsie initially thinks. As it happens, being forced into a protective lockdown with someone can change perspectives, and Elsie slowly uncovers the secret behind Camilla's complicated character. In turn, Camilla begins to realize that maybe "trust issues" shouldn't be in her superpower repertoire, and self-preservation doesn't necessarily require self-isolation. But as the women grow closer, so do the forces that attempt to split them apart. And when the worlds of superpowered militaries, propaganda movies, and hidden conspiracies begin to collide, Elsie and Camilla must rely on each other to survive. ☆ INCLUDES: ✓ Militarized superheroes ✓ LGBTQ+ romance ✓ Diverse characters ✓ Subtle sociopolitical commentary ✓ "Science" FEATURED: ★ 2023 Amby Awards Top Pick (Sci-Fi) ★ @lgbtq Pride Awards 2023 Category Winner (Sci-Fi) ★ @FreeTheLGBT Pride Awards - Third Place ★ @TripleACommunity Aro Ace Awards - Shortlist ★ @superhero, @FreeTheLGBT, @WattpadUrbanFantasy, @StoriesUndiscovered Mature rating is for violence, grotesque descriptions, and swearing.

Once a powerful and celebrated witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death, she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all-of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again-and if so, what price must she pay? The Exile is the first book in a slow-burn tragic romantic fantasy series. It is a quiet story about two people who were never meant to meet, finding each other in the unlikeliest of places. Warning: The world of The Stormcrow Cycle is dark and rather grim; most civilizations practice slavery and all its abuses. Please mind the "Mature Content" tag. I do not include individual trigger warnings, but you can expect everything typical of a Greco-Roman-inspired society going forward. Book I is a quiet romance with a HFN. Book II ventures into more traditional fantasy territory. Please note this series is a tragedy, not an industry romantasy or romance. Book I is currently being edited for Kindle release. The series is on hiatus, but not dead! Please note that the series will not update on Wattpad once out of hiatus! Please follow me on Royal Road or Scribble Hub for story updates!
