The Forest of Lights
Long ago, in a kingdom ruled by silence, two princesses dared to speak. Thana and Khalida were sisters bound by blood but divided by destiny. Together they formed the Guerrillas, a secret band of warrior women fighting for justice in a land that denied them power. But when one sister dares to enter the forbidden heart of their realm-the Forest of Lights, a place of both refuge and fear-a single prophecy brings secrets to light and fractures the bond they believed was unbreakable. In a world where light can deceive and darkness can guide, only the truth within their shattered hearts can save what remains. ~~ The story is finally complete!

The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away.

In the mystical forest of Althoria, where ancient trees whisper secrets and magic flows through every leaf, Elara, one of the last remaining fairies, lives hidden from the mortal world. With shimmering wings and silver hair that glows in the moonlight, she is a guardian of the forest's heart-a place where time moves differently and magic is alive. One evening, a lost traveler named Rowan stumbles into the forest, his path tangled after his horse bolts into the depths of Althoria. Though wary of the forest's dangers, Rowan is captivated by the ethereal figure who appears to offer him help-Elara, a fairy whose beauty and power seem to belong to another world. Though she has never shown herself to a mortal before, something about Rowan's quiet strength stirs a deep, unspoken bond. Guiding Rowan through the forest's ancient paths, Elara reveals a realm that blurs the line between the magical and the real. The deeper they venture, the more Rowan learns about the forest's secrets and his own connection to its ancient magic. At the heart of Althoria lies a stone circle where time and fate intertwine, and Rowan's journey is about to take a turn he could never have imagined. As Rowan and Elara grow closer, the forest reveals more than either of them is prepared for-an ancient destiny tied to Rowan's arrival and the future of the enchanted land. But love, magic, and danger are woven together in the Heart of the Forest, and Rowan must face a choice that will change everything. The Heart of the Forest is a tale of magic, mystery, and a love that transcends the boundaries of time.

In a world where dragons rule the sky and ogres walk the earth, a young woman leads a rebellion against the corrupt king in pursuit of answers and revenge. Eighteen-year-old Thea Wyvern has hated King Favian Lance of Creasan her entire life. It isn't a hard emotion to have when she has grown up witnessing murder in the streets and starvation in her family and friends. Raised in the rebellion known as The Source, Thea has been trained and conditioned to handle herself in battles of both violence and intellect. After the king executed someone very close to her, Thea has been working towards the king's demise as The Source's new leader. When an assassination attempt goes horribly wrong, Thea becomes the king's prisoner and is given a firsthand look at the people she has loathed her entire life. She takes note of the king's insecurity, the handsome Prince Fendrel Lance's carefully restrained demeanor, the abused look of Queen Ana, and the delicate balance of court life. Armed with this knowledge, she manages to escape the palace with a new plan to help her fellow citizens. If she can find Aestus, the dragon responsible for the founding of the kingdom, she might finally be able to overthrow the horrible king. It is a perilous and risky mission, but her fellow rebels agree to the plan. Joined by the prince whose motivations may only appear to be genuine, they head for The Forbidden Mountain, where Aestus is said to live. The rebels will have to fight against the mythical creatures of the forest, the weather, and their own prejudices. Meanwhile, the king and queen are caught in their own web of danger as Ana seeks safety away from her husband and the Lance family curse sends Favian spiraling into madness. The fate of the royal family, the people of Creasan, and The Source all rest on Thea's last-ditch plan, but her own trauma might very well be the largest threat to the mission.Complete
