A day without backstabbing, guiltless murder, lies and deceptions would be a considered a day orchestrated by the gods themselves. But in the royal court of Amaranth where lust for power breeds dangerous beasts, such days are nonexistent. Not with every noble staking their lives in an ancient, never ending game of Wicked Grace. Avia is a girl forgotten. Enslaved by a cruel mistress, she is beaten and left in an underground cell where light does not touch, and the horrors of the dark unfold in a sinister play. This however changes when a dashing lord buys her freedom. However, such lucky chances do not come without price. Revealed to be a long, lost heiress Avia is plunged into a world of conniving nobility, and unforgiving deities. All the while she dances a dangerous dance with the prince, in hopes of redeeming her family's lost name. Will she fall to the preying beasts that has watched her? Or will she stand above them and declare herself the champion of the endless game?

Rescuing a demigod should come with some perks, but for Aeriae Llewyn, those perks have a price. The last (not to mention worst) three years of Aeriae's life have been spent as a slave to the Westwinter Imperium. It's her own fault she was captured. Finding the appropriate time to sleep when you're a fugitive is somewhat essential to not getting caught. Enslaved with her is her family, her only wish to be free with them. And so, when a demigod, Avaddhon, falls from the sky, Aeriae escapes, at great risk to herself, and hides him from the Imperium. The reward for such a selfless act should be catch-free. It's not. Avaddhon is willing to grant Aeriae and her family freedom from fate on one condition; she has to kill an influential lord in a distant land. Seeing as he has better things to do than accompany her, he merges the fragments of a legendary, living blade, with her flesh to act as a guide. It should be simple; the shards will direct her what to do. The first thing they guide her to is a boat to take her where she needs to go. But when the shards urge her to kill the crew of the vessel, the men and women who have accepted her as one of their own, she resists. As the shards wrack her body with pain, tormenting her, she must choose what price she is willing to pay for her family's freedom. SHADOWS BLEED is a young-adult fantasy novel that dabbles in steampunk and even, believe it or not, a little bit of romance (aww, that's sweet).

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first Chosen One ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021
