Death is cast out of Darthion - her realm of existence. Death and her Darthion hold eternal domain over good and evil, light and dark, heaven and hell, the beginning and the end. Known to many as the Grim Reaper, Thanatos, the End, and the Plague Bringer, Moranna is the anthropomorphic personification of Death.
Her power, her wisdom, and her disarming beauty, are tools of her crusade, which work to sever the last ties between the soul and the body, and to guide the soul to its final fate, maintaining balance in both the living and netherworld.
Betrayed and banished to the realm of the living, Moranna finds herself in an existence she does not recognize. In her absence, Darthion has fallen into disrepair, and worst of all, the soul borne have been released from perdition. Initially entombed in the soul catacombs of Darthion, the fallen angels of the Keres exist to wreak war and feast on the chaos of man.
As her body weakens in the new world, Moranna must find her way back home to fix that which has been broken. Now among those whose ends are always within her reach, Death will have to learn how to Live and prevent an impending purgatory that is knocking on man's door.

Some girls run from their demons. Frankie trains with hers.

One wrong move, and purity won't just be lost, it'll be redefined.Complete
The Deathsinger: Book 1
Like many low elves in the kingdom of Edresh, Morana was orphaned as a child during the war against neighboring Araphel. But Morana is more fortunate than most, and is taken to live in the palace as a companion to a captive princess, Astreia. She and Astreia become like sisters, and Morana nurses a tension-filled friendship with the sometimes cruel, but always charming High Elf Prince Tievel. But even with the war over, all is not well in Edresh. A curse spreads through the land, raising ghouls and monsters and stealing the lives of the unborn. Yet it is ignored by the High Elf nobility, whose immortality renders such concerns beneath them. Then, the king-Tievel's grandfather-is killed by a magical Araphelian assassin known as a Reaper. When Morana encounters the Reaper as he's making his escape, he reveals a truth that Morana had long-denied: she is one of the last Deathsingers, a wielder of the very same forbidden magic that inspired the king's savage assault on Araphel. Furthermore, her ability to Sing away immortality might just be the key to stopping the horrors slowly consuming their world... But only if she is willing to condemn those like her dear Tievel, who have only ever known eternal life, to the cold permanence of death. To right the wrongs of long ago and prevent the world's unraveling, Morana must dive head first into the sort of danger she's always avoided and venture into Araphel with her friends. But the Reaper is always close behind, a constant reminder of both what Morana is and the impossible sacrifice she might be called upon to make...

In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories.

From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories!

A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...Complete
