The folk of the Badlands know Wraithshot as a hero; a spirit of protection and justice.
But Caleb Raith has never seen himself that way. He's just a banged up ex-outlaw with a lot of penance left to pay off. Trudging through the desert with poison running in his blood is just his debt coming due.
Lysistrata Starborn, Chosen of Battles, only knows Caleb as a Chosen of the Unconquered Sun; a good man. After pitting him against a demon Queen to save the Badlands, Lysistrata finds him half-dead of fever, and a lot of stories left untold...

The Last Phoenix (book 1)
Ren is a quiet teen in a small New Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy. As Ren struggles to control fire, wings and teleportation, strange phenomena - frozen lakes in summer, earthquakes that seem to think - signal that the world is unraveling. Ancient enemies known as the Shadows of the Eclipse feed on chaos and are awakening. Torn between hiding in his hoodie and facing a destiny he never wanted, Ren must decide who he is, what he will fight for and whether to trust the boy who's always been by his side. This isn't a fairytale. It's messy, queer, and sometimes heartbreaking. But if you're into mythic fantasy with real feelings, and a protagonist who literally sets himself on fire to save the world, jump in. The world's last Phoenix is a boy, and he's just getting started.Complete

Dryad's Wrath: The Riftkey Chronicles Book 1
The Deadlands, a twisted, obsidian scar on the land, is the result of humans' misuse of Dryad magic, and is home to a host of deadly wraiths and unexplained horrors. Calen is one of very few willing to brave the dangers that lurk there to get at the vast knowledge hidden within. Many mages die there, and new names are added to the List of the Lost almost daily. The most recent name, Kiriya, sets a lump in Calen's throat. A student of his during his time as an instructor at the Academy, Kiriya strove to emulate Calen in every way, hoping to become just like him. In doing so, she also emulated Calen's bad habit of going spell hunting in the Deadlands alone. Only, unlike Calen, she hasn't come back. The Dryads, immensely powerful and normally gentle creatures, have ventured out of their forests as they do every few centuries to check on the land and its inhabitants. They have seen the Deadlands, have realized their mistake in giving the gift of magic to humans. Calen is caught between searching for signs of his lost student and surviving the Dryads' wrath as the two factions of Dryads decide whether or not to erase humanity from existence.Complete
Zenith: Hero's Journey
"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve." In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes. At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

Healer's Touch (Deadly Touch #1) [Complete]

Her body heals itself from any injury-but at a cost to anyone nearby. In a small country ignorant of magic, freeing oneself from the hangman's noose isn't a good look. After dying and coming back thrice, Llew drops from the gallows into the hands of Jonas: the man carrying the knife with the power to kill her-permanently. The last of his warrior race, Jonas is surrounded by the ghosts of his loved ones. At his side, the cursed knife that took their lives. Jonas has learned the hard way that caring for others means their death. Jealousy of his half-brother's celebrated strength and speed drove Braph to create the device that gives him the power to perform magic, any magic. But it needs fuel-the blood of a healer...
