[Monthly Updates] Ivy will do anything to forget about her family's brutal murder on Winter Solstice. After being rescued by a kindly woodsman, Ivy finds herself at the center of the murder investigation. Only it's not as a victim but the prime suspect. Despite overwhelming evidence, and Ivy's testimony, Ivy is branded as the brutal killer by the Kings of Elfhaiem. Sentenced to death, Ivy is doomed to hang for a horrendous crime she did not commit. Hope comes in sealed parchment paper hours before the hanging, but attached is a heavy price. The blood-soaked truth now swept under the rug by the two Fae Kings of Elfhaiem, Ivy finds herself at the center of a secret millennia-old power struggle. Named The Ivy Girl and proclaimed the next Consort Queen to the Fae Kings, Holly, and Oak. Only accepting their duel proposals will lift the death sentence from her brow. However, being a bride of the two Kings does not offer comfort and safety. Instead, Ivy is instructed to perform Seven Magic Wonders to prove herself worthy of Queendom to the gods. Instead of risking certain failures, Ivy takes her chance and flees for life and freedom deep into the enchanted lands of Elfhaiem. Despite the desperate circumstances, Ivy is not alone. With the help and support of newfound friends, a plan of revenge that threatens to topple a cruel and millennia-old kingdom blossoms. However, to be successful she must play the role of the Ivy Girl and survive the games the Courts of King Holly and King Oak play. But this time, Ivy is ready. Navigating the word-weaving Lords and Lady's will be hard enough. Adding attempted murder, magic sabotage, and seven impossible tasks leaves Ivy feeling a little sweaty under the armpits. As her tragic past begins to unravel, and the truth of the night of the murder is revealed, Ivy must choose not only who to trust but who to love. When ancient magic unearths deadly foes, terrible curses, and angry gods, nowhere is safe.

Thanks so much for your support :) Kas Balera is used to a bit of chaos. As a space bounty hunter, capturing three Class-2 criminals should have been the most difficult part of her week, but when a disaster of epic proportions rocks the entire solar system, Kas is thrust into the midst of an adventure far beyond her wildest fantasies. With the help of a federal robot, a child genius, and her trusty ship - the Calista - Kas must use all her quick thinking and sharp wit if she's going to stay alive and uncover the new dark and dangerous mysteries of the galaxy. Pursued by evil X1 robots, bio-mech panthers and astral police officers, even Kas's kick-ass fight training and expert piloting can't seem to stop the entire galaxy from going after her. * Wattys Shortlisted * * Highest ranking: #1 in Science-fiction * Thanks to @CAPTAINSARCASTIC101 for helping with the blurb.
