The year is 3406, New Life Calendar. It's been centuries since The Fae Wars, and the Earth is plunged into another era without electricity. Continents were reshaped, countries fell and Empires rose. Faeries have been enslaved and domesticated, used for their magical abilities and the Elves are in a heated rebellion to free them. She's frail, traumatized and not even a full faerie, but after the discovery of a girl who managed to flee a Ward, two elves take Claire under their wing to see if she's got what it takes to help win against the Rhenas Empire of Men, although easier said than done with corruption, magic, and a darker force at work.
[Warning: This book has both beautiful AND mature and dark themes to it! Not quite Game of Thrones level, but you certainly shall have a fair amount of dread and evil strewn throughout all the happiness I'm going to include. Anything that would be "particularly" dark will be fade-to-black, though.]

The Beastkeeper's Redemption
Tiffany Cotton was not who she said she was. The peculiar woman had shown up in Ravensfield one night, wielding a pistol with a familiarity that odd, run-of-the-mill spinsters shouldn't know how to do. She was bizarrely intelligent, wore gowns that were two sizes too big for her, and a smile that transformed her face. Kaede C'Lainn had a difficult time noticing anything anymore since he drank of a liquor that had been tainted with an enchantment, forcing his hand in an act that riddled him with guilt. But he noticed Miss Cotton. Particularly how she had the penchant to show up in places that she shouldn't be. There was something about her that spiked his intrigue... and suspicions. And after the last bout of recklessness on his part, he was not about the make the same mistake twice. He believed Miss Cotton to be part of a syndicate to end his brethren's life, and Kaede wouldn't allow that to happen again. Even if it meant apprehending the one woman whose kiss put all his broken pieces back together again in a world that rejected his kind. This is a fantasy-historical-romance with a lot of steam and a lot of romance! FMC is motivated to do some serious butt-kicking and MMC has a tail... :)Complete
A Shattered World
In the year 22088, Earth is a fractured shadow of its former self. World War III reshaped the continents and erased 7% of life, leaving behind devastation-and discovery. From the ruins, a mysterious figure unlocked the power to merge magic and technology, forever altering the course of humanity. Now, traditional weapons are obsolete. Instead, nations wield an army of "mages"-individuals enhanced with brain-implanted chips at the age of 18, capable of wielding devastating power. They are no longer just soldiers or weapons. They are the new nuclear arsenal, a force so potent they have become both humanity's greatest threat and its most precarious safeguard. As the world teeters on the edge of a new kind of destruction. Nations cling to an uneasy cold war, with mages standing as the only deterrent against total annihilation. But how long can this delicate balance hold before the scales tip?

In a world divided, two kinds of students walk the halls of the great Academy. The Luminaries-blessed with powers, marked by magic. And the Unmarked-ordinary, powerless, bound by rules they did not make. The Unmarked are forbidden to leave, prisoners until the hidden goal is fulfilled. None question it. None dare rebel. Until Xanthine arrives. She is reckless, loud, and far too curious for her own good. She is reckless where others are quiet, foolish where others are careful. Trouble finds her easily-and so do the whispers. Secrets buried beneath the Academy begin to rise, pulling her toward truths long erased from history. They say the past is dead. But the Whispers of Aethelred are stirring again. And once awakened, they cannot be silenced. Will she dare to rebel to unfold the truth behind the all whispers of Aethelred? "Hear us"
Dark Queen: The Cybelline Prophecies
A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.Complete
A Thorny Tale
Foreword: A plant can thrive or a plant can die with or without attention. Whether it's lovingly nurtured or butchered makes no difference really but sometimes they can come back stronger than ever.

Wonder what would happen to the world if such a seed existed inside a person and it finally bloomed? Synopsis: Briar was made a slave and an orphan on the same day she was born. She serves at the castle she was born in, the court of winter. Everyone can command her to do tasks and she has no freedom to leave.

She is also something more which is discovered as she grows up but she must keep it hidden to protect herself. As she masters her skills, she, along with her friends, are given the opportunity to leave and earn her freedom.

But first she must rescue a prince from a dungeon... (Small warning) Contains suggestions of non consensual sexual relationships of a business kind but no graphic detail.
