She can feel it.
In her bones.
Radiating through her in a terrifying surge of lightning and fire.
Swirling around her in shards of midnight ash and white hot Embers.
A storm is coming.

Stormbound
When the storm came, it brought more than thunder. Liora, an apothecary with a gift she's spent her life hiding, lives quietly at the edge of an enchanted forest-until a battle of old magic tears through the sky and leaves a wounded stranger on her doorstep. Aric Vale is dangerous, charming, and far too familiar with the kind of power she swore never to use. But when royal hunters and ancient forces close in, Liora and Aric are thrust into a fight for survival that unravels everything they thought they knew about the world-and themselves. The deeper they journey into a realm of forgotten gods and fractured light, the more the storm inside them both begins to awaken. Caught between loyalty and desire, past and destiny, they'll have to decide whether to fight the fire growing between them... or let it burn everything in its path. Magic. Betrayal. A love born from lightning. The storm has found them-and it never lets go.
Shadows of the Abyss
[Sequel to Light of the Heavens] (Posting to RoyalRoad) The Phoenix Queen died in the ashes of her birth, they say, and all traces of her life remain a mystery lost under cover of darkness. Empires shift on their thrones, eagerly watching for advantage. In the north, Miroslav the Wise has sent soldiers and blood mages to breach an ancient bastion of magic known to most as the Vale of the Undying. They assemble like pieces on a wizard's chess board, but little do they know that there hides in the stillness of elven woods an echo of a wrath that almost destroyed the world. The exarchs are moving, reinvigorated by the recovery of a devoted servant, one whose soul swims in the Devouring Dark. To walk along those shadowed, maze-like forest paths is madness or worse. The powers within have shaken off the stupor of ages and lay in wait for the brave and the brilliant, for the fools and false-hearted. For a fire-speaker chasing a lost spark of love, an orc warrior facing his past, a mage hand-picked by the Wise, and her two devoted spellguards, the pressure is on to save what they love before the icy maw of Winter can rob them of everything. **Trigger-warning for abuse.**
White Stag (PERMAFROST #1)
Don't show fear. Don't attract attention. Don't forget who the monsters are. Those are seventeen-year-old Janneke's three rules to surviving in the Permafrost. Her family is dead, her village burned to the ground, and now she's a slave in a court of merciless goblins. Though her master, Soren, offers her a small sphere of protection, it comes at the cost of abandoning humanity and their ways for good. When the Goblin King is defeated in a fight, it ignites an ancient competition to become the next King. The goal is simple: kill the sacred White Stag before the other goblins kill you. Soren sees it as the perfect opportunity to shape Janneke's acceptance of the goblins' way and give in to the hatred and violence festering inside of her. Janneke's only hope for survival is to outrun, outfight, and out-kill every creature in her path, all the while dealing with Soren, whose fierce desire for her to be a goblin is shadowed by his fascination for her human heart. Hunting the Stag is Janneke's best chance at revenge over those who enslaved her, but to succeed, she'll have to watch her humanity bleed out like the creatures she's sworn to kill. **CREDIT FOR THE WONDERFUL COVER GOES TO @seventhstar *** ***COMPLETED.

Embers of the Godfire

Kael Draven was bred to obey. As the son of the Dominion's High General, his life belongs to the Empire and the god whose power runs in his blood. But when a battle leaves him face-to-face with the rebel girl whose flames mirror his own, his loyalty begins to crack. Bound by a power older than empires, their fates collide - in war, in prophecy, in something that feels too much like yearning.

✨ Ash and Stars: Chronicles of Two Worlds ✨
🌑 PROLOGUE: ASH AND STARS "The world burned, and we burned with it." I held her as the sky split apart, as fire swallowed oceans and mountains alike. I promised her-in the next life, we will be free. We will be together. We will be happy. But when I opened my eyes again... She was reborn a Hero. And I-a monster. If the gods built this world to keep us apart, I'll burn their heavens and remake it in her name. Even if she hates me for it.
The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.Complete
