For the past two years she has traveled around her kingdom as the anonymous rebel Onium in a desperate attempt to stop her parent's tyranny. With her life on the line if she is ever caught or her identity revealed, it is no wonder Vivian has gotten used to the loneliness of a life on the run. Enter the bumbling Lady Quinnley, a mysterious young woman who has a knack for getting herself into trouble faster than Vivian can get her out of it. After Quinnley finds out Vivian is none other than the mysterious Onium, the two have no choice but to travel together. Soon Vivian begins to have feelings she can't act on. Because Quinnley has secrets too.

Mystacor, the secret Etherian kingdom of sorcery, looks like paradise to the outsider. But not all is well on the misty island cluster, and its most powerful Emeth, Light Spinner, knows it. A bitter childhood and forbidden powers have landed her in a place where she must prove her worth to her superiors in order to fulfill her mother's dying wish to her. And with her loneliness having not left her since her coronation to the Guild of Sorcerers, she has begun to accept her place in society - outcast and unaccepted. But on the day of her coronation to the Guild of Sorcerers, Light Spinner's world changes forever. The young boy Micah of Tropicilas enters her life, and his joyous demeanor and honest heart present her with difficult choices, especially when a mysterious terrorist group suspected to be from another world invades his home kingdom. Her deep friendship with her apprentice compels her to act, yet the Guild forbids her to use her powers under any circumstance. The dark armies spread their bloody streak across the peaceful planet, and war becomes a possibility. And as Light Spinner despairs on whether to follow her own wishes or those of her superiors, she finds she may have to sacrifice more than just their approval.

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

In the annals of Kaleesh history, there is not a leader more respected than Qymaen jai Sheelal. There are many things that mark the youngest khagan to sit on the throne of Kalee as a formidable leader, but the crowning jewel of his reign is his closest companion, Ronderu lij Kummar. Unbeknownst to outsiders, they are in deep love with one another, secretly planning their marriage in the midst of a broiling conflict between the Kaleesh and the Yam'rii invaders who have partial control of their planet. But their plans are halted by a battle that reaches the most sacred part of their tribe: the temple of Jenuwaa, the oldest known structure on Kalee. Though Qymaen escapes alive, Ronderu is perceived to have been brutally murdered by the Yam'rii. Desperate to close the wound left by her death, but knowing his efforts are futile, he begins to fall into an ugly cycle of hatred and rage against her killers. Lies are told, mysteries are woven, and irreversible sins are committed as Qymaen takes on a new identity, swearing never to suffer his grief alone.
