Kayleigh-Lou Nightshade is a untidy, sword wielding, young woman with a certain disreguard for tradition and rules. She trains relentlessly to gain a place in Shiva's Skill's Academy, an Academy only the gifted may attend. A place that has called to her since childhood.
Once Kayleigh-Lou passes the test set by the old fashioned and rather eccentric headmaster she discovers there is more to the world around her, new people, new challenges and something deep inside her is finally released.
Join the reluctant heroine as she uncovers secrets hidden deep in the walls and hallways of the castle, discovers there is more to the stone carvings, painting and even house hold utensils that meets the eye. All this, and there are still classes to attend and pass.

Flamebound: The Memory Keeper's Prophecy
In a realm scorched by legacy and ruled by fireborne bloodlines, Maeve-an unassuming outsider-finds herself marked by a glyph that binds her to Kaelen, the crown prince forged in flame. But their bond isn't just magical-it's ancestral, mythic, and dangerously prophetic. Thrust into a world of elemental trials, dragon-born archives, and court conspiracies, Maeve must navigate dreams haunted by ancient memory keepers and stand trial before rulers who fear what she represents: a living archive capable of rewriting their forgotten truths. Together, Maeve and Kaelen ignite a revolution not just of magic, but of remembrance-challenging a kingdom built on erasure and threatening to unravel the very fire that holds it together. This is not a love story. It's a reckoning.
Book One: The Iron Divide
,,THE IRON DIVIDE" For generations, war has raged across Tharador, its origins forgotten by all. Maerith hides her identity as a knight, and Calyx is the man both feared and desired. Amid masks, intrigues, and deadly proximity, she must choose: trust... or survival. ... For decades, the great Houses of Veyren and Althaire have drowned the land in endless bloodshed, their feud dividing Tharador across mist-shrouded rivers. Maerith carries the legacy of her fallen father, once loyal to House Veyren, and knows survival is a battle of steel and shadow - but nothing could prepare her for Calyx Althaire: brilliant, ruthless, and feared by all, the one man who could decide her fate with a single motion. To him, she is the key - the one who could bring his enemy to ruin. Captured, betrayed, and forced into proximity with the enemy she was trained to hate, Maerith must navigate a world where every glance hides a blade, every word carries a threat, and trust is a luxury she cannot afford. As storms rage across Tharador, alliances twist and betrayals abound, pushing Maerith and Calyx toward a destiny that neither fully controls. Their journey will demand loyalty, cunning, and the kind of courage that can change the course of kingdoms. In a land ruled by blood, lies, and shifting loyalties, only one thing is certain: Maerith will not go quietly - and neither will he. Enemies to lovers. Masks and deception. Survival, desire, and power collide in a dark fantasy world where hearts are as dangerous as swords.
