It's been two months since Claire found herself back in the theater dressing room. Two months spent wondering whether or not the experience had been real or just a vivid dream, and if the man she loved was merely a figment of a wild imagination.
No matter her mind, her heart refused to believe the latter to be true.
When Claire returns home one evening to find an unexpected visitor waiting for her, she finds herself faced with a difficult choice -- go back at the risk of her own life, or remain safe and risk losing everything she holds dear.

On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly. "I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you." "You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead. "I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest.

The Blood of Darkness
"𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙫𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙨, 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙖𝙧, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨." Valerie Tenebris is not human. She never was, and never will be. She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

Fate cannot be fought... but it can be played. Once again, the Visrel sisters are separated, but this time, it is by choice. Or so they think.

However, she is determined to fight what she is becoming and change the rules of the game--one move at a time. Seraiah has decided she wants to make some changes of her own. To bring fate's little game to an end, she plans to take out the most important piece: the Queen. Murdering her own sister might destroy Seraiah, but that is a sacrifice she is willing to make.

Chasing Embers | 1
For all her life, Ember Matthews never feared the unknown, only a life that never changed. So when a stranger opens a door to Auchterton, a hidden realm ruled by ancient Houses and older grudges, she chooses to step through. But choice has consequences. Auchterton is a realm fractured by ambition: power is a weapon, Loyalty is a currency, and silence hides more than it protects. Magic lives in blood and bone, cities rise on the backs of old secrets, and a rebellion long thought dead is beginning to stir. Some fight to break the old order. Others will kill to preserve it. And between them all lies a secret worth igniting war. Drawn into the quiet violence of this realm, Ember must learn quickly who deserves her trust before it becomes a blade turned toward her. Because in Auchterton, secrets don't stay buried-and Ember is no longer invisible. For far beyond the horizon, a man cloaked in black has already begun hunting her name. Some embers are meant to die. Others are meant to burn. Highest Ranking: #6 in FantasyComplete
