The pits taught me to trust no one. House Ravilon taught me I might be wrong about that. Finley's still fighting what's between us. Lysander's chaos is growing on me. Reyker sees through every lie. And somewhere between temple trials and gods who speak in riddles, I stopped pretending I could walk away from any of them. The deal was clear enough: collect the artifacts, earn my freedom. But gods don't hand out weapons without a reason. And House Ravilon didn't buy a pit fighter just to win tournaments. When we get back to the villa, Silas and Axlan are waiting. So is something else. Twenty years of survival might not be enough for whatever comes next. **Updates every Monday and Friday starting March 13th at 12pm EST**

[Book 3]While the whole of Alburkhan is gathering for the union between Prince Sebastian and Princess Jhara, Silvermark is preparing for an entirely different feast: Lord Fox's sixteenth birthday. After years of training, the young redhead is now old enough to usurp The Greenlander throne in the name of all magicians. Two people stand between him and eternal glory. Two people for whom the entire world will go to war. Fox is ready. Seb, Alex, and Nick are not. The children from A Blaze In The Dark and The Midnight Storm are all grown up. A New Dawn Rises over the Five Kingdoms.

[Book 2] Growing up isn't easy, especially not when you're Crown Prince Sebastian, heir to the Greenlander throne. While the God of Wrath reigns at court, the prince only finds empty seats at the dinner table. His once so close friends, Alex and Nick are fighting for their lives on opposite sides of the country, and King Thomas is becoming more secluded and paranoid by the day. When seemingly all hope is lost, Sebastian gets help from an unexpected source. Hundreds of miles more north, Fox is battling the implications of being a royal bastard. The young Fire Magician doesn't know whether to pledge allegiance to his half-brother or to King Ariel. And then a third royal arrives in Silvermark, a Prince from Ice...

[High Fantasy/Dark Fantasy] Sebastian is finally old enough to be a warrior. He has dreamt about joining his friends, Alex and Nick, for as long as he can remember. His best friend, Fox, doesn't like it one bit that he still has to wait nine more moons before he can prove himself a real man. But something is stirring in the Forest of Lane. Katla the Fire Magician has been sent south to unleash hell. Torn away from the protection of their parents and each other, Sebastian, Alex, Nick, and Fox become stuck as pawns in a life-threatening game played by kings, generals, and power-hungry magicians. Friendships fall as the only escape is to rise to power themselves... Cover created by the wonderful @Krystal_M

Desperate to keep her magic hidden, Katerina goes to great lengths to avoid dragons and mages. When she gets cornered by evil mages, her only chance at escape involves freeing a trapped dragon. * * * Katerina's biggest fear is that unscrupulous mages or dragons would discover her magic and use her as a living magical battery. When she stumbles into a group of evil mages trying to magically enslave a dragon, she releases the dragon to act as a distraction, hoping he would attack the mages while she escaped. But magic has rules, and when you free a dragon mage, it creates magedebt that they must repay, lest their magic fade. Forced to travel together, Katerina struggles to hide her magic as she accompanies Rakota and his friends while they hunt down the Shadow Mages. Rakota is one of many dragons who detest humans due to how many have tried to slay him, steal his treasure, or control him with magic. He has no desire for a rider, but when his childhood sweetheart shows up, she won't consider courtship unless he has one. As if evil mages with ancient spells aren't enough, word comes from the coast that the nagas are planning to invade and wipe out the humans. Goals and secrets clash as Katerina strives to keep her magic hidden, yet that very magic might be the key to stopping the war, and becoming Rakota's rider would give him the family he's always dreamed of. But all magic has a price, and to become a rider, she'd have to forfeit her freedom. Copyright November 2022. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy or steal this story.

Two families best kept secrets collide in a moment of fate itself. The Prince of Bronwyn and the Legacy of the Cardinals. Neither should exist. Both highly frowned upon and cursed for their very existence. A broken product of royal affair and the perfect unknown ploy for revenge. The weight of either alone would be enough to drive anyone mad, but together it may become something else entirely. Both such highly damaged individuals stretched to their wits end. What could the result be of one in the presence of the other? A disaster just waiting beneath the surface, a mix potent enough to kill, or maybe a cure neither one saw coming?

***This is the sequel to Wyrmrot*** THINGS HAVE RETURNED TO NORMAL Six months have passed since Zelda sent out the message of a safe haven, and things have returned to normal-or as normal as they can be for a zombie apocalypse. Zelda has a safe place to live and plenty of food, her parents and friends are thriving, and no one from Dr. Aldrick's group has come for her. THEN A STRANGE MESSAGE ARRIVES When a cryptic message arrives with Zelda's childhood nickname, she's convinced it must be from her younger brother, Amory. But is it a cry for help or a trap to lure her in? NOW ZELDA MUST STAGE A RESCUE Together with her friends and her dragon companion, Zelda sets out to find her missing brother. Along the way she'll encounter old friends and new enemies, but if she hopes to rescue Amory before his captors' experiments turn him into a monster, she'll need to accept help from the one person she thought she'd never trust again.
