BeastKeeper
In a kingdom shaped by gods and ruled by elemental power, one girl was never meant to survive. Ten years ago, a shadow creature slipped through a weakened Veil and slaughtered Aria's family-wiping out an entire Beastkeeper bloodline. Or so the kingdom believes. Aria was found unconscious on the riverbank, with no memory of who she was or where she came from. With only basic magic and a nightmare she can't shake, she's spent years preparing for a future that never quite felt like hers. But grief has a way of breaking things open. As the Sorting Ceremony looms, the pressure to prove herself builds-until her control finally shatters. What follows is a flooded hall, a glowing mark burned into her back, and a truth no one is prepared to face. Because the mark belongs to a Beastkeeper. And those were only stories. Now summoned to a hidden fortress that was never supposed to exist, Aria must confront a legacy buried in myth, a power she doesn't understand, and a bond that should have been impossible. Because the Veil is thinning again. And this time, the shadows aren't waiting at the edge.

Fate and Destiny (The Fated Series, #2)
A kingdom across the sea, a man in pain clawing at a hated king who bears two shadows who protect him. A child, born from a mother with the powers of the Gods, screaming at a blood-soaked bed. A boy, a Prince, kind and full of the flame of life, sitting beneath a moon bug lit sky. Darkness enfolds the lands, its grasp claiming the continent and making its way from an already broken island, only to be stopped by the hands of fate. The hands of the girl and the Prince, and their love for the people in need of protection. This is their prophecy. This is their destiny and their fate depends on it. The Elemental rulers and their family are just beginning to find allies from unlikely and unimaginative places while creatures of myth and legend resurface from their campfire tales, and things aren't going as planned, so they'll have to find myths and legends of their own.

The Candlemaker's Lament
Phoenix, a quiet candle maker and devoted follower of Hecate, never imagined his craft and rituals would tie him to the fate of multiple realms. But when a vision from Hecate declares him the chosen gatekeeper, his life takes a dramatic turn. Entrusted with maintaining balance between light and darkness, Phoenix is thrust into a battle against the Brotherhood of Adar, a cult bent on unleashing an ancient, apocalyptic entity. Accepted by the Watchers-ethereal beings of immense power who safeguard the realms-Phoenix is tasked with wielding a talisman that could lock or open the gates of reality. His journey takes him through shadowed realms, where his destiny intertwines with an unlikely group of allies: Astrid, an angel who becomes burdened by her own darkness; Lilith, a demoness who is bond by loyalty; and a band of elemental beings whose ties to the mortal world run deeper than they appear. As Phoenix navigates the delicate balance between opposing forces, he forges bonds that challenge his preconceptions of good and evil. These relationships grow from mere alliances into something more profound, as trust, loyalty, and sacrifice deepen the connections among them. But these bonds come at a cost-temptation, betrayal, and the looming shadow of his own humanity threatens to unravel everything. Phoenix's trials with the Watchers reveal unsettling truths: the ancient entity the Brotherhood serves seeks not just destruction, but to merge with him as a vessel, giving it direct access to the realms he is meant to protect. To survive, Phoenix must embrace both light and darkness, not as opposites, but as necessary forces within himself.
Forged by Fire
Elaine Rainier had a pretty clear picture of how she hoped her future would turn out. All she ever dreamed of was to live a perfectly normal life and work as her adopted father's assistant blacksmith. Simple and easy. All that changed the day her sister was kidnapped, an event that turned her life upside down and sent it on a completely different course, all in the blink of an eye. Now Elaine is forced to face the past she preferred to leave far behind as she searches for her sister with the help of the Captain of the Guard, Gunter, who she might have been harboring secret feelings for since they were kids. But the captain has secrets of his own, ones he's reluctant to share, and he may or may not accept Elaine's own secrets, ones she had hoped would never see the light of day. Together, they head for the king's mountain estate where they hope to find safety from the assassins who took Elaine's sister, assassins who might have been after a different target altogether. All the while, Elaine tries to deny the fact that her future dreams may never become reality. **If you like stories about elemental magic and dragon shifters, then you've come to the right place.
