Knight of Two Hearts
A valley starves while a king blames a dragon and the river turns foul. Young knight Roblen climbs to a mountain cave to kill a beast and finds a guardian instead. Nathan lies weakened by poisoned water. In the chamber beyond, a stone vault bears the record of an old oath. A ruler once shared half a heart with the keeper of the valley, and prosperity followed truth. Roblen places his palm upon the cut and chooses to bind his life to the guardian. With healer Serenya, scholar Ceyrin, river man Garran, and captain Sir Kaelor, he follows a trail of marked casks and crooked stamps to the royal dock. The city wakes. Boards with charcoal rubbings hang in the market. Proof replaces rumor. The crown calls for curfew. The people answer with calm defiance. Poison burns at the pier while Nathan cleans the air with measured flame. The north shed fires, yet the watch and common hands save the yard and the names. Power shifts in the square. Steward Marna steps out with keys and courage and walks the ledge to renew the pact. Heart shares with heart. Rain returns. Fish noses break the surface. The crown is hammered into a bell. This is a story of oath and river, of a knight who lives long because he keeps a promise, and of a city that learns to guard truth with work rather than noise. The magic is old and quiet. The battles are fought on steps and docks and in the rooms where people decide what kind of neighbors they wish to be. The valley keeps its promise. The dragon keeps watch.Complete

Now, betrothed to Robb Stark-the cold-eyed Wolf of the North she's loathed since childhood-Elowyn is thrust into a game she never asked to play. But the game has always been in her blood. As war brews, loyalties fracture, and dragons stir in distant lands, Elowyn must walk a blade's edge between who she is and who the world believes her to be.

The War Against Aberon (Rough Draft #1)
Vale Havon and Aberon had been at war for thirty years. Three decades of battle on the Eastern plains of Vale Havon's lands. This is why on the Western side Zaffre felt pretty safe. Helping her parents run the farm is her only duty and she was happy to do it. Things change, however, when her father gets sick. Bedridden he can't help with any of the dawn til' dusk work, and Zaffre is unsure if she can pick up the slack. Worse is the sudden death of their animals. With the autumn harvest on its way and already two horses down, things look bleak. The war still wages, and as more troops die Vale Havon grows more desperate. The Royal family is willing to do anything to save their kingdom. To keep their power. So, the drafts begin. Suddenly the Western border is not safe anymore. Zaffre knows if she's sent to fight her mother can't keep the farm running. So she goes into hiding. Except no secret stays hidden, and Zaffre's role in the world is far bigger than simply harvesting plants. Everything just got a whole lot more complicated. Excerpt: A cold sweat began to trickle its way down her back and a shiver traveled up her spine. It was when the hair on the back of her neck stood on the end that she realized something was wrong. She took a few more steps forward in the dark forest when she finally comprehended the thing that flashed a warning in her instincts. The sounds of the woods she'd been hearing all night, the birds, crickets, and scuttering squirrels had all gone silent. That only meant one thing, and one thing only, a predator was on the hunt. This time it wasn't her. *Trigger Warning, the book contains, violence, blood, fightingComplete
