However, not everything-or everyone-is the same. Her childhood best friend, Miles, is still sweet and carefree, but his older brother West is not. Disowned and working at the local garage, he's distanced himself from everyone, until Olivia accidentally uncovers the reason why. But as the two grow closer, strange things begin happening to Olivia.

PREVIOUSLY TITLED 'BLOOD THRONE' { Wattys 2018 'The Originals' winner } Shadows trail Rhaessa wherever she goes. Whether that's her magic or past, she can't seem to escape them. Wrestled into a corner with only one way out, she embarks on a journey to uncover the truths of her vicious kingdom. Varyn walks a very fine line in the royal courts, finding herself at the mercy of the King's whims, where one wrong move can have terrible consequences. When a string of murders is committed inside the castle walls, the time is ticking for her to put a stop to it before chaos erupts. Two women are forced to uncover the blood, bones, and treachery that built their kingdom and line the throne. The stakes could be their lives or worse. Much, much worse. War? That doesn't quite cover it. TW: violence, implied SA, and mentions of suicide/depression. This story is heavy and has some dark themes. *** Disclaimer: although I made the cover myself, I do not claim to have made any of the beautiful art used on it. If it's yours please dm for credit or removal!***

Ice pirates...supernatural killer wolves....a country locked in ice. Stranded in the backwards, superstitious city of Snowblitzki, Miss Damaris Evans is fleeing an arranged marriage when she books passage on the ice boat Bera. Little does she know that it's a ship of secrets. From the good-natured young Captain Cameron Hawk to the inept - and impossibly handsome - cabin boy Axel, no one on the Bera is what they seem. A staunch believer in the transformative power of science and steam, Mari is skeptical of the old ways and the powerful magic of the Snow Sorceress that is accepted as common knowledge in this part of the world. While war tears the surrounding world apart, and the evil General-Consul Koschei is said to be unleashing an army of supernatural wolf warriors on the resistance in the mountain towns, Mari begins to see first hand the perils of war and repression. When her voyage home takes an unexpected turn, Mari must choose between her head and her heart, save Axel from the clutches of the Snow Sorceress, and defy the terrifying commander, General-Consul Koschei.

The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.
