There are tales of a mysterious land in the north told to frighten travellers around the campfire late at night, cautionary tales of black knights, monsters, of mad kings and a terrible war locked within a forest in which death is chained and magic flows freely. However, stories are just that, stories, and unless they have teeth to bite with they are of no concern to Elisen, a young, proud warrior born to the cold of winter and ancient wolf's blood. However, how long can her bravery and steel hold against dreaded horrors lurking deep within the shade of uncertainty cast by mighty trees of old? Is there even hope to be had or found in a land in which loss is the conmen currency and history tells of nothing but misery? Regardless, her own pain and grief are driving this foolhardy warrior forwards as she stumbles along on tired legs with recent memories of ash and blood still threatening to break her fragile hope of one day returning to reclaim what was taken from her. Follow Elisen on her journey to save her family and reclaim their home through the first book of The Wind's Journey series in which she enters a strange land where she soon finds herself the main suspect in a plot that could end up sending a nation screaming into another abyss of hopelessness much like the one she herself have just escaped. Will Elisen's tale be that of another cautionary tale told abound a campfire, or will she prevail in her journey through the Northern Kingdoms?

A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City Awards
