A long, long time ago, monsters roamed the earth.
Each child was assigned their own creature to care for them until they completed adolescence. As years passed, however, the monsters grew hostile and began to perceive their owners as a threat, food, or a tug-of-war toy. Once the sun rose on each child's eighteenth birthday, they were forced to fight for their life and their place in society. If they could defeat their monster, they were welcomed among the adults.
If not, well, you can only imagine their fate...

The War of Elevens| Book 1 of the Space Thief Chronicles
This is the story of how a storm and a space-thief started an apocalypse. Lillian Cart Ci, a spunky thirteen-year-old girl with a newfound ability to steal from space, must leave Earth after she is blackmailed into joining the army for an upcoming world war in the Shifter World, a world with opera-singing walls, uptight fairies, trees that sing lullabies only the deaf can hear, glowing mushrooms as big as houses, and whispering stars. Shifters are people with the ability to produce either fire, water, or earthly elements from their fingertips and are the dominant race of this world. They thrive beneath an international government that kills any human with strange or unheard of magical powers. Under the careful watch of the government's eye, Lillian must train for a war her ancestors prepared for-a war against a race of people called Acids, whose magic is more destructive than any weapon or Shifter army. This is the story of how eleven monsters took over the world. Eleven beasts that have been created by a vengeful man nicknamed Storm are eating cities and towns alive. From the moment the beasts unearthed themselves to the Shifter World, they've been killing machines, sucking the color and culture from every continent across the globe. Using the brink of the Shifter-Acid war as a foothold, Storm uses his monsters to not only create chaos, but to find the most magic-dense spot in the Shifter World so that he can destroy the very dimension keeping the Shifter World breathing. In a world of opera-singing walls, cannibalistic psychics, screaming stars, and crooked cities, Lilly must band together with a group of multicultural disparate friends and put her spunk to use to stay afloat in the dangerous waters of the Shifter World. This is the story of how monsters and stars went to war.Complete
The Shadow of a Silent Throne
For generations, the kingdom has been ruled by a powerful dynasty of water elves-until betrayal shatters the royal bloodline. When Princess Talia's ruthless stepfather seizes the throne, he sees her as a threat-just as he once did her mother, the late Queen, whom he had assassinated out of paranoia. Now, he wants Talia dead too. Forced into exile, Talia must navigate a world beyond the palace walls, forging alliances with the kingdom's oppressed citizens and mystical creatures. With her homeland on the brink of ruin, she rallies an unlikely army to reclaim what is rightfully hers. But defeating the tyrant King will demand more than courage-it will require a battle that could cost everything. The throne was stolen. Now, she's taking it back.
The Poison Prince
Not all poison comes in a bottle. Not all dragons breathe fire. After the death of Queen Ilia, the King of Lyris married again to keep the peace.

One of those was her step-son, the Prince Taiden, who would one day rule the kingdom. Considered mad by those around him, Taiden is believed to have been consumed by grief, but the young prince has spent ten years playing a very dangerous game; a game of poison and secrets to keep the Kingdom his mother adored, safe. On the outskirts of Lyris is an outcast; a young girl with scales on her neck and a dagger in her belt. Xylia is a hunter who is watching the last of her people succumb to a death no one can stop. With fire in her veins, her encounter with Prince Taiden leaves her wanting blood, and answers. Will the Kingdom of Lyris fall at the hands of Queen Devanna, or can a Poison Prince and a girl descended from beasts save it?Complete
