VENGEANCE SERIES #1 Almira Miandre carried responsibilities that were not hers to be carried, deliberately neglecting herself to be of use to others. As life continues its cruelty, she found out her family's death was not unique--it was repetitive. Not only with the cause of death, but also the day and month, with only the difference of year. Realizing she was not the only victim, she decided to run away with every responsibility she carried willingly, leaving everything behind. Together with a man whose carefree mask conceals a darkness as deep as hers, they navigate into one of the seven dangerous hidden countries in the world to seek the reason behind their family's tragedy. One who seeks revenge and one who possesses elegance, both enter Xena, fully aware that there will be no elegance in the place of vengeance.

VENGEANCE SERIES# 2 Cold. Emotionless. Insensitive. For years, Alayah Miandre heard those words, and instead of debunking those ideas, she embraced them. Not because she was what they described her as, but because she needed to appear stoic to protect her youngest sister. Believing her eldest sister had died, she had to step up and become the oldest. She deliberately made herself numb due to the guilt she was carrying within, exerting all her time in studying the law for the purpose of attaining the justice her sister deserved. She didn't have time for love. She knew that, and continuously reminded herself that she didn't deserve to be happy while carrying the weight of the past. However, one man dared to turn her cold crown into a soft tiara--melting the icy fortress of the stoic queen they feared, and gently bringing back the bubbly princess she was forced to bury. He allowed others to see she was also a person in pain--not a cold, emotionless, or insensitive monster, but a human being living for the very first time. As the crucial truths were presented to her, she slowly realized how deeply they had entered the game without even knowing they were playing in the first place. One truth from another. One secret buried after another. One wound cutting deeply after the unhealed one. Being in Xena for years, she wanted to exit the place, believing the ones she loved perceived her as a monster who chased them away, rather than a person who loved them with no intention of running away.
