Edeiros awaits its new queen, but there's more than one contender for the crown. Eden Tudor is a Sentinel. As one of the king's personal lawmen, he's tasked with preserving law and order everywhere but within himself. His dark past has been weighing him down for six years, and nothing seems to help until he falls for the king's young bride-to-be, Rosalinda de Silva, and his world comes crashing down around him. As a Sentinel, Valentine de Casillis swore an oath to protect the monarchy. Born to nobility, he's eighteen and stands second only to the king himself. Still, as important as Val is, he can never seem to forget what he's lost: his beloved mother, his murderous father, and his own emotions. After discovering he's a person with the Sight- someone able to see emotions and energy, along with the very weave of the universe- he doesn't even remember what love is anymore. Like all those with his ability, he's purged everything that makes him feel human. Malina Emberga has left the country of her birth behind to come to Edeiros. Blessed by the gods with powers of absolute control, the world could fall at her feet if she wished it. But with great power comes great responsibility; her all-seeing uncle Paolo, speaker of the gods, says she's too reckless for her own good. Her powers, while great, don't often seem to go her way in the end... and one wrong move leads her straight into the unfeeling hands of the Head Sentinel-- Valentine de Casillis himself. They say the gods determine fate, but in a world of forced destiny, three mortals choose a different path entirely. They choose to forego their mortality. They choose their own fate, and they don't need it to be kind. They choose to become young gods themselves.

'You call this fate' has won: 1st place in BLUE ROSE AWARDS 2017 (Action) 1st place in THE PURPLE APPLE AWARDS 2017 (General fiction) The One and Only Award in the RARITY AWARDS (General fiction) 3rd place in THE PUPPET AWARDS 2017 (that was when my genre was mystery/thriller. I believe general fiction fits my story better) Zara Mahal, a girl adrift from her motherland, a virtual exile amongst strangers, was no dreamer. She saw the ugliness in the world with clear eyes, heard it's screams and cries with open ears. She knew, and yet she dared to imagine a new life...but when is it that the past leaves you behind? When is it that the hungry demons from yesterday bid you adieu with a fare-thee-well? It doesn't happen, not today, not here, and most certainly not with her. She's being chased, by the demons within and the demons without...and she sees no way through. Yet...her snarky, rude, more-amicable-dead-than-alive boss seems to know something. Something he won't tell her about. Something that threatens to rock her world and throw her to the ground till her bones break and her head splits. No, I tell you...Zara Mahal knows the tears behind a happy life. But when her friend gets killed, and she's thrown into a whirlpool of shadowed faces and pulsing darkness, only Alexander Rodwell seems to know how to pull her out. The problem? He's the one pushing her in. P.S. the amazing cover is made by @mebekamil... go ahead and check out the rest of her works!

In the beginning, there was Nothing. And then a rush of creation ending with the world itself, full of Wonder. But all would not be well for long as tragedy strikes the Heavens, leading to the shattering of its gardens, and the creation of what mortals calls Night and Day. A prequel to 'Light From Above' this is my NaNoWriMo project for 2017. For now it is rough, though I will try to keep Grammar and spelling errors to a minimum.

So when rescue comes in the form of three Kentucky hillbilly brothers--two of them mute--she reluctantly accepts. When they hire her to paint a dilapidated nineteenth-century hotel in middle-of-nowhere Nebraska, she expects nothing more than a few days' work and a meager paycheck.

A LINE UNBROKEN. A TRUTH UNSPOKEN. Born into wealth and privilege as the niece of an emperor, Starborn Lady Mhera never dreamt that tragedy would shatter her world. But darkness roils beneath the peaceful facade of the Holy City: a rebellion is brewing among the Arcborn-the dangerous, magic-blooded undercaste of Penrua-and they will stop at nothing to destroy the peace of the realm. That much is proven to Mhera when she is just a girl and her greatest treasure is taken from her. Years later, still wounded by the evil the Arcborn wrought against her, she is on the brink of professing her final vows as a nun...but before she can accept the life of safety and solitude she doesn't truly desire, she is offered a chilling compromise with fate that threatens everything she has ever known.
