That is what eighteen-year-old Hania has been told all her life. For the depths of the sea hide the cruel and magical tidespeople, strange gods and creatures of the water who see human life as nothing more than a game. When they sweep her brother away with them, a new pet for their queen, she knows she has no option but to get him back. And her one hope is Aven, a lonely, imprisoned selkie desperate to return home. So she strikes a deal. She will return his skin, and his power with it, and in exchange Aven will take her to the Realm of Tides. But once there Hania finds a world unlike any she imagined. A world of beauty and danger, of magic beyond any the old tales could have prepared her for. The longer she finds herself there the more fear of the undersea realm turns to awe-and an uneasy alliance with Aven turns to something far more thrilling and far more damning. But here deadlier creatures than Aven lurk, eager to kill her, claim her, or break her. Her brother's capture is only the beginning of the game. A game of hearts and lives, loyalty and cunning. And to save them all she must be willing to play it and win-or die trying. ** Buy Tide now at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084TVRC2Z/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0

More than a millennium later Laelia Darkwood, princess of the elves, feels that she doesn't truly belong in ArBrae Forest. Her fears are solidified by a series of events that would challenge the foundations of her understanding of who she is. Khairrim Cadeyrn, the Second of the Council, protects countless secrets.

However, his biggest secret is the one his family, The Council, and Ligtland must never discover. How do events more than a millennium apart tie together? Why does no-one know why Aebbé of Ardam was cursed? Will Laelia unravel the mystery of the loss that is evident in Khairrim's blue eyes? *** Sometimes in order to find your path you have to get lost; sometimes you need to build the path; and sometimes your path is destined to lead you to places and people you never knew you lost. *** The Chronicles of the Council - Book 1 *** Highest rankings: 13 in #fantasy 10 April 2019 9 in #fantasy 6 July 2019 20 in #highfantasy 6 July 2019 16 in #fantasyadventure 6 July 2019 Featured on Wattpad's High Fantasy reading list Winner of The Disco Awards 2019

Long ago in the Korean kingdom of Joseon, a long-time rivalry between two young noblemen leads to a plot for revenge. Unfortunately for Young Min, the nobleman being revenged upon, this only leads to being terribly misunderstood and cursed with a crippling affliction. It isn't his best day. When his curse only worsens, Young Min sets off to find a cure in the next town over. A mountain stands between him and his destination, and the path is rumored to be haunted--though the travelers themselves might be more dangerous than the spirits. Along the way, Young Min gets caught up in a mystery involving a crossdressing girl, ghost-fearing musicians, and a horde of belligerent robbers. Everywhere he turns, there seems to be something else blocking him from getting to his destination and finding a cure, especially after the mountain's nine-tailed fox is forced out of hiding. She doesn't like helping people, and she's not happy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2016 Wattpad Featured story Fantasy #128 (5/5/15) Historical Fiction #68 (7/15/14)

In a world where lust and all things like it are forbidden, one angel is wrongly accused of taking part in it. She is a victim of a rebellious angel, one who went against all they were told and yet still got away with it. One dark night as she is heading home, she is ambushed and attacked by an angel that has the vilest intentions in mind. When discovered in the act, the male plays it off as if it was the girl who attacked him. And as a male angel, the superior gender, of course, he is believed over her. The girl is condemned, thrown down to earth, and then stripped of her wings. . . She has no will to live, sees no reason to get up. She lays there, her wings that were so brutally torn from her back accompanying her mere feet away. She has no care. Doesn't bother to get up and leave the scene. Instead, she lays there, immovable. Broken, bleeding, and undone. . . He found her. She was lying in a pool of her own blood, her dress torn. Two twin bleeding wounds on her back. Curled up on her side, as if waiting for death. Her dark hair concealing her face from view. But something in him couldn't leave her there. Something in him died at the thought of letting her die. And so he determines to save her.
