[Finished and being edited] Once captured by a distraught king, a fierce warrior is forced to choose between saving his family or his country. But choices are never that simple. *** Book 1 of The War of Fire and Ice. The centuries-long war between Fire and Ice has reached an uneasy standstill; but, as time progresses, that newfound peace starts cracking. Thorn, a good warrior with a dark past, has been captured by the crazed Fire King who will spout Machiavellian ideals to obtain the item he desperately requires. However, the king carries a heavy burden that the rest of his court are more than happy to take advantage of. Meanwhile, panic blooms throughout Ice as Thorn's absence creates a hole that their king and Thorn's wife are unable to fill. Seeking to unite their divided kingdom, the Ice King and his close subjects search for ways to survive the upcoming war. There is more than one layer to the Kingdoms' troubles. There is more than one issue in the rulers' hearts. There is more than one outcome of right or wrong. And sometimes, death is the only answer.

Thousands of years after Earth became uninhabitable, humanity colonized other planets and moons around the solar system. Amid rising crime rate, the Galactic Space Force (GSF) set up a legal contract where registered bounty hunters (known as Coyotes) go after criminals and bring them in alive in return for credits. Wolf is one of the best coyotes in the GSF, but also one of the most hated. He has no care of the damage he causes to people or buildings when pursuing a bounty, leaving the GSF having to compensate those affected by his actions. When the daughter of a senator in The Kingdom becomes the most wanted terrorist in the solar system, the GSF is hired to find her before anyone else does. Willing to look past Wolf's reckless history, the director of the GSF contracts him and other coyotes to find the senator's daughter and take her to the GSF at whatever cost. But with enemies after the same woman, Wolf is forced to trust and rely on his new partners in hopes of getting the biggest payday of his life.

Sin and symphony. That's all a necromancer needs. Octavia is a woman of many hats -- a maestro, an educator, a wanderer and an accomplished liar, and she wears all of them at once if need be. Masquerading as a music teacher, she travels the world on a mission to rid it of the netherborne -- a scourge from beyond the grave. When her travels take her to the tiny island of Hedalda, she finds a town on its knees, under the heel of the netherborne, and a people who believe necromancers are the worst thing to happen to humanity. Wit and a song, necromancy through music, was all she ever needed. But this time it isn't enough. The scourge looms larger with each song Octavia plays, and to save Hedalda she must navigate a web of deceit, look beyond sin and symphony, all while keeping her true identity a secret.

"You cannot change fate. But maybe, you can edit it just a little." If there is one thing Violet Ellis has learned in her five years as a Grim Reaper, it's that a) reaping souls and sending them off to the afterlife is the worst job in existence, b) her superior and de-facto boss Kevin is the most terrifying creature ever put on this earth and c) the Ledger is never wrong. Without exception, every person whose name appears in the mysterious Death Ledger is fated to die, and no force in the world is powerful enough to change that. But, much like every other rule, even cardinal ones are meant to be broken. After one of her routine reaps takes an unexpected turn, thanks to Violet's colleague and sometimes friend Mason, she finds herself in a dangerous and unfamiliar situation. One which involves a pair of unforgettable, electric blue eyes, whose owner has managed to do the impossible. Cheat Death. Though Violet can't help feeling a little glad that Mr. Logan Perfect Winslow didn't die, she is well aware that altering someone's fate is never a good thing. Death is not to be messed with. And the consequences of stopping the inevitable might just end up destroying Violet's whole world. 🥇 1. Place in the Pandora Awards, in the Fantasy category. #23 in Grim Reaper #34 in Soul
