"We weren't meant to be good. We were meant to survive."

Zerlinda has had a sword hanging over her head ever since her father's disappearance. 

With her cowardly mother good as dead, Zerlinda is forced to accept a bargain with Hades, the God of Death, in exchange for the life of her younger sister, Adalia. 

After years of avoiding her fate in the gallows, Zerlinda is captured and sent to her death, only to survive and be sold as slave to the King of Nerissa-the man who could very well be behind her father's sudden disappearance. 

But when the king offers Zerlinda a chance that she cannot possibly let pass, she finds herself torn between survival, protecting Adalia and finding out more about the strange power that seems to call to her. 

Lives will be lost, loyalties broken, and soon, Zerlinda will be forced to face the darkness blackening her very soul. A darkness that could cause her to lose whatever shred of sanity she has tediously fought to hold on to. For in Nerissa, there is no one to be trusted. Not even one's own self.

41 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world where legends and villains intertwine, Allana, daughter of Maui, finally earns her father's approval to attend Auradon Prep for her final year. However, her excitement quickly fades when the opening ceremony erupts into chaos, threatening everyone in Auradon. Amid the turmoil and gut-wrenching heartbreak, Allana finds herself thrown back in time and is forced to team up with two unlikely girls to stop future events from ever taking place. What she didn't count on was getting trapped in the past with no way home. As Allana tries to find her place in this new world, she becomes irresistibly drawn to a notorious group of villains, their allure both thrilling and dangerous. This connection frustrates Hades, the God of the Underworld, who sees her presence as an unwelcome challenge yet can't help but be intrigued. Their fiery chemistry ignites a fierce clash of wills, pulling Allana deeper into the shadows of her own dark side-the very part of herself her father always feared. With each heated exchange, the line between animosity and attraction blurs, tempting Allana to embrace the darker impulses within her and explore a world where power and passion intertwine. Faced with the most difficult decision of her life as her feelings for Hades intensify, Allana must choose between following her desires to explore her dark side and claiming what she believes is hers, or becoming the hero her father always envisioned. Perhaps a middle ground exists-a grey path that could allow her to reshape history for the better. As the lines between right and wrong blur, Allana must decide what legacy she wants to leave behind.

Can they defy fate when their enemy wrote the rules? As a linguistics student and book nerd, Eric didn't think it was his fate to be surrounded by powerful women or to travel a road filled with danger and magic. But when he picks up a dusty vintage book from an antique store, he finds himself surrounded by Light lords, Dark lords, and Sirens-the ancient, winged keepers of a delicate balance between worlds invisible to humans. Telese, the brazen Siren who appears in Eric's dorm room, has tried to distance herself from humans while working to keep the balance between the Light World, which wants humans to progress, and the Dark World, which wants humans eradicated. After millennia of unwilling loyalty to her all-powerful father-whose orders are as calculated and heartless as his punishments for defying them-Telese fears his latest order could mean the end of humans and Sirens both. Telese's yearning for freedom and Eric's passion for knowledge bring them together in a dangerous alliance. They must challenge their old beliefs to bring together the warring Light and Dark Worlds, reveal magic to humans, and rally the Sirens against the father-leader who wrote their rules. Can Eric and Telese save humans and create a united, harmonious system of rule, or will the worlds they must align fall victim to their hubris? *** Hubris is now published through Balance of Seven Publishing.
