This will be a collection of poems and letters. Not really a story I have just created a correspondence between a lonely woman from a historical time period writing to an old friend. Channeling major Emily Dickinson vibes. There will also be some modern angsty stuff as well.

Like many low elves in the kingdom of Edresh, Morana was orphaned as a child during the war against neighboring Araphel. But Morana is more fortunate than most, and is taken to live in the palace as a companion to a captive princess, Astreia. She and Astreia become like sisters, and Morana nurses a tension-filled friendship with the sometimes cruel, but always charming High Elf Prince Tievel. But even with the war over, all is not well in Edresh. A curse spreads through the land, raising ghouls and monsters and stealing the lives of the unborn. Yet it is ignored by the High Elf nobility, whose immortality renders such concerns beneath them. Then, the king-Tievel's grandfather-is killed by a magical Araphelian assassin known as a Reaper. When Morana encounters the Reaper as he's making his escape, he reveals a truth that Morana had long-denied: she is one of the last Deathsingers, a wielder of the very same forbidden magic that inspired the king's savage assault on Araphel. Furthermore, her ability to Sing away immortality might just be the key to stopping the horrors slowly consuming their world... But only if she is willing to condemn those like her dear Tievel, who have only ever known eternal life, to the cold permanence of death. To right the wrongs of long ago and prevent the world's unraveling, Morana must dive head first into the sort of danger she's always avoided and venture into Araphel with her friends. But the Reaper is always close behind, a constant reminder of both what Morana is and the impossible sacrifice she might be called upon to make... Season 1 on The Deathsinger WARNING: This story contains depictions of violence and depictions of sexual assault that may not be suitable for some readers.

They say the dead never speak. But in the kingdom of Naveer, they scream. When a dying woman is found near the quiet mountain town of Isaz, strange things begin to stir: corpses vanish, shadows whisper, and a curse spreads across the land. Rose, Mayor Thomas's sharp-minded daughter, thinks her greatest pain is losing her best friend--until the dead start to rise. With the help of Prince Ivan, noble Captain Luther Armstrong, and the elusive Great Mage Isaac, Rose sets out to uncover the darkness infecting the kingdom of Naveer. But cursed forests and bloodthirsty creatures are only the beginning. The Moranum-a secretive faction of rogue mages-are moving in the shadows, determined to dismantle the Celestial Order and reshape the magic that governs the world. As war looms and betrayals mount, Rose is haunted by visions from the Dream Realm she can't explain and a growing power that defies everything she's been taught. Her connection to the gods may be the key to saving the four kingdoms...or destroying them. The Kingdom of Night is rising. And Rose might be the only one who can stop it.
