Simone Chevalier has spent her entire life following the rules, but when a horrible accident results in her expulsion from the prestigious Academy of the Syrenian Isles, Simone is forced to find her way in the capital city of J'Tarace.
In the city, rules only apply to the many while the few have all the power, and Simone finds herself caught up in a game of manipulation and treachery. Will she return honor to her family name, or will she be torn apart by the malicious jackals, disguised as distinguished Lords and Ladies, that call the royal court home?
Aeras Arienti believes in two things: one, there is nothing worth having that you don't have to work for; two, there is everything to fear in the dark.
When a rare find has him suddenly singled out from the ranks of beggars and thieves laboring in a wasteland for bureaucrats hundreds of miles away, Aeras learns that what they have been searching for could alter the delicate balance of power in their world, and lead to the complete annihilation of everything he's ever known.
A threat from across an ocean, enemies that may be strong allies, and an ancient power awakened.
Some things are better left buried and forgotten.

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.Concluída
The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.Concluída
The Obsidian Academy
In a world where the line between magic and madness is razor-thin, The Obsidian Academy is a place of brutal education for the young and the gifted. Located on the fringes of reality, the academy trains its students not only in arcane magic but in the darker arts of manipulation, control, and subversion. Here, the stakes are not just high-they are existential. Every student is forced to confront their own demons, both internal and external, and survive the trials that test their limits. Alara Greyraven, a young woman with a past she can't remember, is reluctantly enrolled at the Academy after an inexplicable event marks her as one of the "chosen." With no knowledge of why she's here or what she's meant to do, Alara must navigate the tangled webs of deception, betrayal, and forbidden desires that pervade every corner of the school. Alongside her are a select group of outcasts and misfits who, for reasons they cannot explain, have been bound to her fate. The rules of the Academy are simple: Power is the ultimate currency. Survival is a game-and the players must sacrifice everything to win. Magic here is not just about spells; it's about power, influence, and control over both the living and the dead. As Alara uncovers the truths buried within the academy's obsidian walls, she must decide who she can trust-and who she can use-for her own ascent to the top. But in a place where nothing is ever truly what it seems, she must also confront whether the price of power is too great to pay.Concluída

Drain My Soul
- CONTENTS MATURE! 18+ scenes - Celeste believed nothing more than being a normal girl, in a normal street, in a normal world but nothing can just be normal? Right? Well this idea of a normal life, stops for Celeste and she goes back to her parents home town, where she is forced by law to a mating ball and is convinced she is something she is not.... But when she meets a blue eyed handsome man that is not who he seems, she is intrigued and is ready to explore. Follow Celeste on her journey to find out who she really is, discover the world she believes is insane and will these blue eyes help her? ------ "I effect you as much as you effect me and it pains me to see my mate with another" he whispers in my ear. I gulp deeply and I want to drop to my knees, to plead that my life is in his hands. Although I gulp and shake my head. "Fine, but I'll be there and I'll be watching!" He whispers in hush tones. I gulp and feel the pain again in my chest. His blue eyes come back to my own and I don't even give him a smirk. He lets go of my jaw and with in a flash I see him leave. The thought in my mind is that my mate is fucking hot and I don't know how long I can deny that for or deny the inseparable connection between us. ---- A/N Just a quick note to say that this book indeed does need heavy editing and as a Co-writer I find this story not in my favour. I know the main character Celeste may come across as mean and as a comment mentioned 'annoying' this book will go through editing. But I'd you choose to still read then fantastic! It's our first 'mate' and 'vampire' book so please be kind and all comments will be taken into consideration. Thank you L&R xConcluída
