A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement, ignore that she's now turned into a 12 year old, and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.

Fate cannot be fought... but it can be played. Once again, the Visrel sisters are separated, but this time, it is by choice. Or so they think. Sterling has chosen to reclaim the Elven throne and ignore Seraiah's warning. In doing so, she has unknowingly taken another step down the path fate has selected for her. However, she is determined to fight what she is becoming and change the rules of the game--one move at a time. Seraiah has decided she wants to make some changes of her own. To bring fate's little game to an end, she plans to take out the most important piece: the Queen. Murdering her own sister might destroy Seraiah, but that is a sacrifice she is willing to make. Perhaps they are merely pieces on a board being guided along by someone else's hand, but these sisters are playing to win. ==================================================================== This is Book 3 in The Lost Queen series.

*COMPLETE* "People don't believe in us anymore. They don't believe that in the end we will do what is right. We can't let them down. We can't let Ben win." Decisions made on top of the lonely, wind-swept cliff of Lethinor reverberate around the five kingdoms as war begins in earnest. This is a sequel to Paragon, it's my very, very, very strong recommendation you read it first, otherwise you will be totally lost. I am not joking. If your interest is piqued, here's a quick blurb for Paragon: _____________________ There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. _____________________ You can read Paragon here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/95374969-paragon Highest ranking: #86 in Fantasy 2/10/2018 WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

(Book Three in the Whispers of Nowhere Trilogy) The Spectrum has fallen. Those not trapped within its borders find themselves scattered across the realms, unable to help, unable to do anything-until Gwen and her companions find a way into the Underworld, that is. With the help of Hades, they venture into the famed realm of Mythos, where the Moirai are said to reside; hidden within a pocket realm rumoured to move from place to place. Finding them could mean the difference between salvation and damnation, for without their help, Gwen may never be freed from her fate as a seal of Nowhere. A fate that could mean her death should her seal ever be restored, as well as the destruction of the Spectrum itself. With Set's forces laying siege across the globe, Iris and Reeves continuously plotting their next step to world conquest, and Lucas dogging Gwen every step of the way, freeing those trapped within the Spectrum's borders will prove to be an insurmountable task. And as if things weren't bad enough, the Moirai's help comes at a price: Gwen must undergo a series of trials, facing horror upon horror until the Fates are satisfied-and at the end of it all, she must engage Lucas in single combat. Only then will the Moirai give Gwen and her companions the answers they seek. But with time being of the essence, will they be able to save both Earth and the Spectrum in time? Or will everything they've fought so hard to protect come crumbling down around them?

What if we were the first in our part of the galaxy to discover the secret of faster than light travel? What if this discovery was 10,000 years before it was supposed to be? Our neighbors had been watching for centuries and were surprised with our early arrival into the Web of Worlds... The Year is 2166: To the people of Earth, the universe seemed to be a very lonely place. Astronomers have discovered tens of thousands of planets; many had indications of organic life. SETI had been searching for signals for over 200 years. There had been a few tantalizing bits of radio or radar energy received but nothing ever proven to be of intelligent origin. But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no developing civilization be contacted until that civilization made it into interstellar space on their own; and that always took time, lots of time. Most Web worlds took 1,000 years or more to go from steam to the atom and none had made it from the atom to a sublight stardrive in less than 5,000 standard years. Every civilization of The Web had proven that faster than light travel was impossible, so there was plenty of time to watch the Earth... The watchers were astounded with the speed of progress of human science and also horrified at the periods of violence. By 2076 nuclear fusion power was widespread on earth. By 2100 the first interplanetary fusion ships explored the Sol system. The men and women of the Anglosphere Alliance began their first missions in ships approaching 0.1c. At that velocity, manned flight to even the nearest stars would take a lifetime. What would happen if a beautiful engineer and a brilliant physicist stumbled upon an artificial gravity field which would make a faster than light drive possible...
