Wow! 6 art books already, and I've been continuing to improve and edit my art style. Heres even more art of my stories and characters, primarily from my main series. My characters have grown so much since I first started writing their stories, and I thank you all for joining me on this journey. Like all my art books this is a companion to my stories Lily of the Shadows, Traitor to the Crown, Change within the heart, including tidbits from my other works as well. Happy reading!

Got a question for one of my characters? Is there something you have been wishing to dare them to do? As long as it is appropriate and respectful to me as the author, I will put my character's responses here. All characters within this book are my intellectual property and you may not use them without my permission except for works of fanfiction.

Jessamine is a runty desert kitsune with seven older brothers and a blacksmith as a father who is determined to sell her away in an arranged marriage because their family is too poor to feed a girl. Her father thinks she is a mindless nothing who spends her days moping about and figures that if he doesn't marry her off soon the vultures will get her. And her father also believes that a girl could never craft a sword worth selling. What he doesn't know is that Jessamine risks her neck every night ring fighting in her brother's place and she learned black smithing in secret and lets her brothers take the credit for her work which is better than that of any man. When a powerful male kitsune comes through her village looking for a sword, she plans a daring escape, disguising herself as a boy and offering to be the newcomer's weapons expert in exchange for him allowing her to accompany him on his quest. But soon she finds she has feelings for the boy she ran away with, and keeping up the charade becomes harder and harder, even though he might abandon her if he learns the truth.

It is said that only the claws or sword of a pure hearted warrior can slay a dracolitch. In the aftermath of the battle with Lyrica, Manx and her friends must pick up the pieces of a broken world. The Empress is finally back in her true form, and there is finally a chance for peace in the Valdt. Yet when the Valdt needs the Dragon Empress the most, she is too focused on getting revenge. Manx and Vaskin are sent on a quest to find Lyrica at all costs and deliver her into the Empress' claws. However, Manx has doubts about her mission. Lyrica let the Empress go in the final moments of the battle when she had every chance to kill her. Can this mean that maybe Lyrica's heart isn't all evil? Manx is torn between her close friends and a former enemy whom she wishes to save, but nobody else shares her opinion. Standing for what she believes is right means betraying the Empress and abandoning her friends. Can she follow through with what she believes is right and redeem the Empress' worst enemy?
