'Signy gasped as she saw the body on the ground. 'Asta, what did you do?'
'It was an accident,' Asta said desperately. 'The fire flared suddenly and his clothes caught alight. It wasn't me.'
Signy stared at Hafgrim's charred body. 'They won't believe that,' she said fearfully. She looked up at Asta with terror. 'Asta, they'll kill you. You need to leave. Now.''
Asta has lived life as a thrall on a cold northern freehold since she was small, with no memory of her family or where she came from. When an accident forces her to run away from her freehold she decides to use the opportunity to find her own people.
Her quest leads her to the King's fortress, Vatnskjold. A mysteriously ill king, a missing heir and a brewing war, Vatnskjold is a place of secrets. Despite her determination to focus only on her mission - and hide her own dark past and secrets - Asta finds herself being drawn in.
Perhaps if she solves the secrets of Vatnskjold she can solve her own greatest mystery: who, and what, she is.

The Sorcerer's Pet
He burned for control. She was born of chaos. Together, they'll shatter the laws that broke them-and forge a love fierce enough to change everything. - In a kingdom where magic is law and the powerless are sold like cattle, survival is a coin few can afford. Every season, the poorest are swept from the streets and auctioned off as Familiars - living mana batteries to feed the ambitions of greedy sorcerers. Forgotten. Disposable. Erissa expected pain when she was claimed by Lord Kaelen Carmentis - the coldest sorcerer in the court, and heir to one of the oldest bloodlines in the realm. She didn't expect the bond to awaken something inside her. And she certainly didn't expect that, in the silence between them, she would feel safe. But Familiars aren't meant to be felt. And whatever is growing between them... is breaking every rule. Because she was never meant to survive the system. She was meant to rewrite it - and burn the old world down in the process.Complete

Book One of the Blood and Creed Saga The storm began the night Astra Potter learned she was never meant to live in chains. Rescued from the Dursleys by her mother's uncle-a shadowed Assassin who reveals her true legacy-Astra is thrust into a world far older and more dangerous than Hogwarts or the Ministry.

Together they uncover ancient chambers beneath Hogwarts, walk memory's paths to awaken their bloodline gifts, and name their first missions as Creed.

Yet Astra is torn between Stormborn, the name the Creed gives her, and Astra Potter, daughter of Lily and James. When Remus Lupin and Sirius Black resurface in her life, teaching her instinct and rebellion, Astra must choose whether blood is a chain or an anchor.

Till Death Do Us Part
In the dark heart of wizarding aristocracy, love is the cruelest curse of all. Aurelia Black was once the shame of her bloodline-a supposed Squib destined to fade into obscurity. Now, she's the prodigy who saved Hogwarts, cloak in power, poise, and poisonous expectations. Her reward? A betrothal to her former friend turned bitter rival: Ominis Gaunt. Cold, cutting, and hellbent on escaping his family's legacy, Ominis has vowed to disappear after graduation. But when Aurelia discovers his plan, she proposed a dangerous compromise: she'll help him fake his death and disappear from his family for good-if he plays the devoted diance long enough to protect her reputation. What follows is a venom-laced charade of stolen glances and seething hatred, set against a background of opulent galas, glittering lies, and the weight of expectations. Fated to be enemies. Forced to be partners out of necessity. This is not a love story. (Slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, angst, dark wizarding elite, arranged marriage) Told from Aurelia Black's POVComplete

The Wolf Witch
Sora has no place in the world. She is meant to be a strong warrior, with the ability to shift into a wolf. She is none of those things, and looked down upon because of it. It brings shame to her, it brings shame to her family, and worst of all, it brings shame upon her prideful and strong brother. There is but one person who truly knows and loves her, but does he really? Magic is not the weapon of a warrior, magic is the weapon of a coward. Sora has been told that all her life, but she has magic within her, recently awakened, and so she has begun to doubt it. Still, witchcraft is punishable by death, and so Sora must be careful with her practices, lest she lose all she has. Sora is a better witch than wolf, though not by much, but she still pursues that craft in spite of the dangers. Her place in the world is a dangerous one, but will it last? The world she lives in is a dangerous one, and such a life as hers rarely ends happily. Disclaimer: this is a short prequel, Sora's story does not conclude with this one. If you finish this book and go "oh, that's the end?" it's because it's not the end. I'm writing a trilogy called Mortance that explores the larger world that this takes place in and concludes Sora's story more thoroughly than in this book. Go read that next if you like my writing, thanks. Please leave any and all criticisms you might have, anything you like and anything you dislike, I want to make this as good as I can. P.S. the cover is literally just a drawing I made in physics class, I know it's bad, I'm not an artist.Complete
