"According to legend, the world broke. The land rose from the sea and cast itself over the White Horizon. The people who could bend light, the coloured, were left behind."
Kaimana Dayra is less concerned with the fate of the coloured, and more so about her mischievous and adventure seeking brother. With their parents missing after a trek to find a lost treasure, Kaimana's masterful abilities with machinery, as well as the peculiarity of her own colour, keep them from the lower docks. But only just.
When her brother mysteriously vanishes, a price is put on her head. Now she is the target of the Blac Dove- an assassin with no loyalties to anyone - and on the run for a crime she doesn't remember committing. With the help of a bug crazy ten year old, a famed gypsy, his troupe of unlikely performers, and a hidden map only she can read, Kaimana can only hope that the secrets they uncover will lead her back to her brother. Even if the path takes her to cross the most perilous of all dangers: The White Horizon.

Snow Mountain
When a fallen warrior trapped on a mountain saves an injured woman from the snow, little does he imagine she will be the key to both his freedom and his undoing. Alone on his mountain, 'Fyar' the herdsman cares for little other than his goats and his solitude. But when he finds an injured woman in the snow, memories of his time before the mountain and what drove him there start to resurface. Trapped together with the woman in the confines of his cave home by the winter snow, days turn to weeks, and along with old memories, other things long thought lost start to stir in Fyar's chest. Jalintu, as her giant savior names her, has known nothing but cruelty. So when she is rescued by a beast of a man she is surprised by his gentleness, patience, and lack of ulterior motives. Eventually coming to trust 'Fyar', as she names him for the feathers woven in his hair, she discovers the true reason why he is trapped on his mountain. Will she be able to help Fyar as he helped her? Or are some animals more comfortable living in their cages? Romantasy set in the mountains of ancient Europe, Snow Mountain describes what happens when two cultures, pasts, and hearts collide on one snowy peak.

A Pirate for the Dead Goddess (Legends of Rahasia Book 2)
"Farzaneh..." I pull her to me, flinching when my sleeve rolls back, her eyes drawn to the markings. On my bare skin's a map revealing a different tattoo, one for every person I killed. I hate looking at the running tally of tattoos on my body. It reminds me of how many I've murdered. Reminds me I'm a human with a death goddess. My hakama, the color blue, blends into the folds of the red cloak around her, the effect like fire and ice. I bat my lashes, flex my muscles, all wiry from climbing the rigging when I get bored. "I'm just a boy." The look on her face is cruel. It reminds me why those chains are on her wrists. We're both cursed. Dark fantasy PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN with an LGBT+-ensemble *** Trans Captain Lucky Dice's enemies know him as a gambler, playing a game with a cursed set of dice that kills the losers instantly. The only person unaffected is Lucky, who's said to have sold his soul to the Rahasian goddess of death to get the dice to kill everyone but himself. But now, on his eighteenth birthday, the goddess of death calls on him to return the favor. The Divine princess, Kaliya, is trapped in the body of an all-devouring serpent, cursed by the Witch Goddess, the Matriarch of Truth, to weaken and murder her own godly parents. The gods are dying. And the world is truly ending if a pirate, a cursed witch, a vengeful warrior, and a con artist have to save it. (UPDATES DAILY) COPYRIGHT 2018 BY SOPHIA WHITTEMORE. All Rights Reserved.
