A body broken,
A name undone.
A final token,
Lost battles won.
Sleeping wake,
Singing slumber.
Do not fear
The dead that thunder.
For over a thousand years the rotting corpse of Brynjyr Thornhollow has been hidden beneath the ruins of a forsaken temple, only to be revived by those of her blood. Now, with a world on the verge of war, the most powerful witch to ever walk the earth is awaken with unimaginable power from Beyond. Because of her past life, many fear her, and those who dare to come close see her as a frightened but dangerous spirit unable to control her growing powers.
As Brynjyr's powers grow and she struggles to rewrite who she is, war brews. Will she help those who have risen her, or will her frightening power destroy them... and her?

An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. π What to Expect ββ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror β Psychological Dread & Isolation β The Mystery β Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses β Slow Burn Character Growth β Loss of Humanity ββ οΈ Content Warnings ββ Violence & Gore β Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting β Body Horror β Dark/Mature Themes βπ Update Schedule ββ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday β Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.

As a reclusive author who dedicates all her time to the books she publishes, Detta feels something is missing. Writing was supposed to be an escape. A way for her to leave the bland life she was living. Detta never meant to be a part of it. After falling asleep on an open document, Detta finds herself in a world so foreign, yet so familiar. It's the very same world that she created. Though, unfortunately for Detta, the novel is no breezy summer romance. There, a ruthless tyrant is raiding the lands in search of his fated bond. With the author's unexpected appearance, he believes that it is her. His revelation derails the novel's plot, and it's up to Detta to make sure that it gets back on the right track. This tyrant has no idea that he is meant to die. Or so the story goes.Complete
Broken Beginning (The Alpha's Addiction #1)
Gutsy teenager, Emma, didn't ask to be exiled. But after one rebellion too many, her father ships her off to a remote college in southern England-a last-ditch effort to straighten her out. She expects boredom, isolation. What she finds is something else entirely. The students are strange. The rules, even stranger. And when she begins to see things-things no human should-Emma realizes this place hides more than just secrets. Half the student body isn't human at all; rather creatures of myth and legend; creatures she thought only existed in fantasy novels. And neither, it turns out, is she. Buried secrets surface; Emma isn't who she thought she was. She's the prophesied reincarnation of an ancient Queen, tied by fate to a powerful Lycan King-and to a future she never asked for. But fate can be cruel. When the Lycan King rejects her under mysterious circumstances, Emma is thrust into a brutal game of power, and identity. Torn between the world she came from and the one she was born to rule, she must decide: embrace the crown and the chaos that comes with it or rewrite her own fate despite the odds stacked against her. In Book One of the Alpha Addiction series, Emma's exile becomes the beginning of everything she was never meant to discover.
