Forced onto a journey with two thieves, Fukayna begins to understand the dark forces truly at play in her kingdom.

For those born with godblood, life begins with a collar and ends with obedience. When Wisterly escapes her abusive keeper, she can't stay visible for long. Her collar marks her as an Acolyte. If the guards find her, they'll drag her back to her lord-and whatever punishment he's planned. Desperate and hunted, she runs into Mordred, a Guild thief with his own troubles. He offers to help after one last job: stealing the Box of Pathways, a divine Artifact only the godblooded can handle without going mad. With few other choices, Wisterly accepts. But some treasures are better left untouched. When Wisterly takes the Box, something wakes inside and takes control. The heist goes sideways fast, leaving them hunted by the Grand Council and the Guild alike. Now Wisterly and Mordred are fugitives who hold an unpredictable power. To stay free, they must outwit their pursuers-and discover if the Box is their salvation, their undoing, or something stranger altogether. ----- This story contains the opening chapters of my published books.

In the twilight lands of the Sylren, where villages glow with living crystal and dusk is the hour of truth, balance is everything-until it begins to slip. When small thefts unsettle a peaceful orchard town, an impulsive apprentice with an untested gift is drawn into a mystery that cuts deeper than missing bread and broken rules. The signs point toward something older, stranger, and far more dangerous than anyone dares admit. To uncover the truth, she'll have to navigate vanishing lights, whispered legends, and the fragile line between honor and survival. But the closer she comes to the thief's trail, the more she risks unraveling the harmony her world depends on-and the secrets hidden within her own glow.

Vivi Blackwood is a tough girl in a tough world - born on the streets of Bhadh, her childhood was a buffet of scamming, scavenging, and petty theft - and she feels right at home on board the Ajdaha with its captain: Aenwyn, the merchant-occasionally-turned-pirate. But when one of Aenwyn's pirate adventures goes awry, Vivi and her friend Owen are sent on a thrilling run for their lives, along with the sorry band of renegades they happen to pick up along the way. As their fight for survival continues, they accidentally find themselves wrapped up in the goings-on of the world around them, both magical and political-and Vivi finds herself working with people she could never have dreamed of even speaking kindly to in the past.
