In Tehazihbith, imperfection is a myth. Blessed with divine power, the city's miracle rivers overflow with dust, a glittering, colourful cascade, and its people weave life-giving magic. Imperfection belongs to the beasts and the beastfolk: strange, violent beings that prowl outside the city's protection. When Rayanah Kel-Jabir stumbles upon a wounded, dying beastfolk boy, she's faced with a choice. As a young mage and wielder of dust, trained to defend Tehazihbith from the beasts' mindless attacks, saving the boy's life goes against everything she's ever known--yet for Raya, her perfect nature is a cage, and choices are rare. The more she learns of the boy and his people, the more cracks begin to show in her city's sacred harmony. The winds are shifting, and they sing of blood, spilled from beasts and mages alike. The trouble is hearing the warning notes before it's too late. --◦༄ؘ◦-- ◦ Beautifully illustrated cover by @ToWolfKin ◦

The aes sídhe: an ancient race that holds incredible powers, and a rare sight indeed in Ríenne. Maeve, a brash young woman who holds the power of the sun, is one of the few that remain-and, as far as she knows, the only to reside amongst humans. She's content to lead a simple life, working beside the ocean, healing the sick, and caring for her cattle. But peace is a fickle thing, and it flees easily. When a lone sídhe attempts to ravage her town, Maeve's quiet existence is shattered. To protect her home and understand why she's been targeted, she sets off with the aid of Aeden-a stranger who claims to know where to find the answers. It is a dangerous, long journey to the truth: to survive, Maeve must rely on her flame and new companions more than ever before. As much as she wishes it were otherwise, the world is at stake.

[ONC 2023 Shortlister] Everyone in the Calistian kingdom fears the cruelty of the winter spirit, Sefah. They whisper to each other that his heart is as cold as the ice he wields, and he is forever a step away from unleashing his wrath upon the world. So when the people of Calistie fall prey to a strange, icy disease, there is no one to blame but him. But Tetsunah knows this is not true. As the spirit of spring, she sees there is more to the lord of winter than there seems to be. Desperate to prove his innocence, she embarks on a quest to uncover the cause of the frostbite plague and find a cure. However, Sefah has gone missing, leaving a vicious ice storm in his wake that threatens to destroy all Tetsunah holds dear. If she wishes to save her people from the wrath of winter, she must discover the truth of Sefah's disappearance and rescue him before it's too late. THE WRATH OF WINTER is a spin-off of the Legends of Anticuus series, but can be read on its own. The story takes place long before the fall of the elves and recounts events that have faded from history to myth... ~Getting published December 19, 2023!~
