In an alternate present, electricity was never fully cultivated, as another, far more powerful, type of power became common knowledge around the same time, that of Ether, previously known as 'Magic'.
Those capable of gathering this power are known officially as 'Ether-Weavers', or 'Etherial Conduits', and unofficially as 'Mages'. As it is the cornerstone of modern warfare, economy, and power production, these people are in the highest of demand, and of course in need of proper guidance by the best of their craft.
The countries that have been declared neutral are tasked with gathering and training these valuable assets for the warring states of the world... whether they like it or not.

Flames Like Vines
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a companion story to ICE LIKE FIRE, the sequel to SNOW LIKE ASHES. I say "companion" as it parallels the beginning events of ICE LIKE FIRE -- and as such, you will find a few minor spoilers for ICE LIKE FIRE. If you are the sort of reader who screeches in horror at the thought of a spoiler of any kind, LOOK AWAY NOW. But if you are the sort of reader who flips through the pages of a book, perusing lines here and there before you've quite finished it yet...well, read on, dear rebel reader. Read on. *** SUMMARY: "She was part of Summer, and Summer was part of her, and this land wouldn't abandon her too." Ceridwen Preben, princess of Summer, has spent her life plotting against her brother, Simon, the Summerian king. Simon has embraced the ruling family's reputation for using their conduit to keep their subjects in a state of bliss, and has spent his reign slowly driving Summer into ruin, filling everyone with carelessness and letting them turn a blind eye to Summer's rampant -- and deadly -- slave trade. But Ceridwen refuses to let her kingdom disintegrate, and with the help of her fellow rebel-in-arms, Lekan, she hopes to undo Simon's lethal dealings. But when Ceridwen uncovers Simon's deadliest plot yet, she starts to realize just how deep magic runs -- and that even though her kingdom is one of sunlight, with light, there always comes shadows. *** The first part of this story will appear on Tuesday, September 8. Parts will continue to be uploaded every Tues/Thurs through October 8. Look for ICE LIKE FIRE, out October 13 from Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins!Concluida
Iron Fire Dominion
A vast land ruled by ancient noble houses and Steam-Arcane Empires. Gunpowder, magic crystals, and steam engines coexist uneasily. Most nations still fight in static musket lines — shoulder-to-shoulder, firing volleys under banners of honor. But whispers of “tactical warfare” from old relics of a lost civilization hint at a new way to fight. Magic is not mysterious here — it’s harnessed through Etherium Cores, crystals that can power both spells and machines. Engineers are treated as craftsmen, not soldiers. The aristocratic generals view them as “servants of the battlefield,” not as tacticians. That’s about to change. 🧑🔧 Main Character — Cedric Arkwright Background: A disgraced military engineer once exiled for “heretical inventions” that challenged traditional warfare. Personality: Analytical, sarcastic, loyal to his men, always sketching blueprints. Goal: To reshape war into something efficient, humane, and victorious — even if it means defying tradition. Weapon of Choice: A modular ether-powered rifle he built himself — adaptable for sniping, short-range bursts, or anti-armor fire. Specialty: Combining tactical movement and mechanical innovation — introducing dodge-and-shoot, trench cover, rotating cannons, smoke screens, and mobile fortifications. ⚙️ Magic–Tech System (“Aethercraft”) Etherium Crystals: Source of magical energy. Used to power rifles, engines, and automatons. Arcane Circuits: Metal inscriptions that channel ether energy through machines. Steam Augments: Combine mechanical pressure and ether control for hybrid inventions. Engineers = “Aetherwrights” — mix magic and mechanical science. Battlemages use direct spells; Aetherwrights weaponize science.

BattleMages
In the continent of Edonia, there lies a grand kingdom called Nirewin. Nirewin was a well established land with history upon history of stories. Many rulers led Nirewin with an iron fist, leading their people into several years of prosperity and peace. Many great warriors were trained in Nirewin with many of them aiding in the Dark War. The Dark War came about when there was a difference in what Mana was used for. The Mages of Edonia has shown and proven that Mana, the life force of Edonia, was used for protection and good. However, many Mages took a darker path, saying that Mana was mainly used for power, to defeat those who posed a threat to one's way of living. Seeing what would transpire if this continued, the Mages of Edonia exiled any and all who tried using Mana for sickly acts. Thus became the rising of Warlocks and Witches. Seeing themselves as better and flawless in every way, the Warlocks and Witches formed the Grand Covenant, to strengthen their own teachings and to prove kingdoms all over Edonia wrong. And with that, The Dark War began. Mages battled the Witches and Warlock within the grand kingdom of Nirewin. After many suns, many moons, and many fallen allies and foes alike, the war was over. The inhabitants of Nirewin are now safe from such a vicious attack. But now, a new threat peeks its face over the horizon of Nirewin. One of the founding Witches of the Grand Covenant named Helena was slain in the Dark War, leaving her daughter to be raised without her. Now, full of rage and seeking revenge, Helena's daughter, Quara sets her eyes on the Mages of Edonia...

When Wings Collide
Getting shoved into a floating sky kingdom full of supernatural psychos was not on Alina Stormpaw's bucket list. But humans signed some "obey or die slowly" contract, so now every magical kid gets dumped in Etharia whether they like it or not. Most students teleport or ride glitchy flying cars to school. Alina? She flew her own damn wings up there. Because rules can kiss her ass. Now she's stuck in Etharia Sky Academy, surrounded by stone-skinned gargoyles, fiery phoenix kids, attitude-soaked sirens, and enough random powers to start a magical apocalypse. And then there's Lucas Moorea. Shadow wolf. Golden boy. Walking ego problem with fangs. He thinks he owns the school. She thinks he needs to be drop-kicked off the nearest cloud. Too bad fate (and their equally sharp teeth) won't let them ignore each other. She can see through his shadows. He can't poison her no matter how hard fate tries. They're the same size in beast form, the same level of dangerous, and absolutely the same level of stubborn. Etharia might be ready for war. But it sure as hell isn't ready for them. ------------------
