Two hundred years have passed since the Witch Wars sundered the world and split the once-mighty witch covens apart, reducing them to mere entertainers for the humans who revile them for their sins. Into this world, Annonere was born. As the youngest son of the Raven Coven's Matriarch, he is gifted the title of Eneri, his sole purpose to be sold off at auction into marriage to another coven in order to broker fragile peace. When the harsh Wolf Coven wins the auction, Annonere is married to the brutish eldest son of their Matriarch, Tarlon, a man with whom he fears he will never find happiness. To make matters worse, Annonere discovers a horrifying secret being kept by the Sisters, the frightening leaders who rule over all witch covens. Burdened with the truth, Annonere must not only navigate his new role as a husband to an unwilling partner, but also learn to accept his fate, and bring balance to all witchkind by restoring what has been lost -- if it isn't already too late. **New chapters are posted every other Sunday, time permitting.** The Wolf's Raven is Book 1 of the Ebony Bones Series.

The great city of Qemassen is at a crossroads. A powerful empire from beyond the ocean threatens to reignite a centuries-old feud. A slave rebellion brews in the tangled labyrinth of tunnels beneath the city streets. And Crown Prince Ashtaroth, the city's supposed saviour, is considered unfit to rule even by those closest to him. When the high priest burns one of the royal children alive as a desperate offering to the city's absentee gods, it destroys the fragile peace within Qemassen's scheming first family. Seeking revenge for the death of her child, Ashtaroth's mother calls on a powerful demon named Lilit. But Lilit cannot be trusted. Her cruel machinations pit brother against sister and father against daughter, laying waste to Ashtaroth's family. Then Lilit approaches Ashtaroth with a demonic pact of his own-one that could save his people and his home. But between war from without and a revolution erupting within, even a demon may not be enough to keep Qemassen standing. Set in a secondary world based on the conflict between Ancient Carthage and Rome, The Wings of Ashtaroth is a sprawling, multi-POV epic fantasy, full of queerness, political intrigue, and demons.

Aysel is a Letter, an ancient people with blood teeming with magic just waiting to be released by a blade. But when her elder brother is captured by an unseen foe, only to return weeks later with a mysterious, seemingly-incurable illness, Aysel knows that no amount of spilled blood will be enough to save him. The only chance lies with the monsters that lurk in the shadows of her world, Beasts with violent minds, a taste for flesh, and power enough to rival even a Letter. Her pact with them-- a cure for her brother in return for her service-- will reveal deep-seated hatred in her own heart, souls twisted by greed and fear, and love where she thought nothing but evil could grow.
