{star-crossed romance/forced proximity/18+} Normally, intergalactic drama doesn't reach into any place as backwater as the Milky Way Galaxy, let alone a planet as primitive as Earth. But an exception is made in Amelia's case. She is thrown into a deadly crossfire of a millennia-old feud between a fallen empire and a revenge-starved tyrant. With few options and even less time, she turns to an unlikely ally to save her best friend from the clutches of a monster and help unravel a conspiracy involving an assassin betrayed by the empress he served. Sacrifices will be made. Flames will attract. Prey will turn predator. Fate will be wholly defied.

Farah was raised like everyone else in the town. That is, raised to fear the forest. There's shadows in there, and within the darkness, monsters writhe. Every now and then, a child goes missing, swallowed up by the shadows and gone forever. Farah was supposed to be one of those children. By some strange miracle, she escapes a certain fate in the darkness of the woods, but it's not until several years later, when a man with striking green eyes is captured from the very forest everyone is wary of, that Farah's past comes back to bite her. There are secrets about the forest no one really knows, secrets about the kingdoms residing there and the beings ruling them. Secrets Farah will be forced to know, for despite everything she tries to do to deny it, she's been claimed and as such destined to be a queen of a place she's been terrified of her entire life.

Not by far even close to doing justice to Rob Thiers original, this my fellow ifrits is to placate you while you impatiently wait for Wednesdays. ************************* 'Shutup & drink this.' He commanded, extending a cup of vile liquid towards my face. I eyed it distastefully, it looked pukeworthy. His eyes narrowed infinitesimally at the face I was making. 'You will drink this miss Linton & I will brook no arguments.' I looked up at his face to see determination set in stone. 'No.' I shook my head 'Would you rather I force it down your throat?' He asked calmly. I glared at him. 'You wouldn't dare!'

✴︎Featured on Wattpad✴︎ Born into slavery, bound by Fate, and forbidden to love. One faerie will do anything to be free. It's not easy being a child of chaos. Disaster follows Isiilde wherever she goes, but that's the least of her problems-she's a faerie trapped in a realm of humans. And worse yet, she's a nymph. Destined to be sold when she comes of age, Isiilde breaks into the vault of a powerful immortal to steal coin for her escape. But, instead of finding treasure, she (accidentally) releases a fiend into the realm. As penance for her crime, the immortal tasks her with capturing the fiend. Only events quickly spiral out of control amid political scheming, power-hungry madmen, and three kingdoms bidding for her ownership. One lone nymph stands at the center of destruction, with her heart bound to a man as mysterious as her strange affinity with fire. Isiilde is far more than she seems. And so is the man who wins her heart. Fate doesn't stand a chance against a chaotic fire nymph. A character-driven high fantasy novel with coming-of-age themes, pyromaniac faerie, and friends-to-lovers tropes. Previously published as A Thread in the Tangle. A story of innocence and brutality, of love and loss, and courage and hope. It contains mature subject matter.
