Hana Steele only has one wish for her last summer before her freshman year of college; she wants to know exactly who she is. Half-Japanese on her mother's side, but with little knowledge of her maternal family or her culture, Hana yearns to know everything her father refuses to tell her. On the eve of her eighteen birthday, Hana receives a letter from the grandfather she has never met, and a pearl on a golden chain, a gift from a mother she has never known.
Within 24 hours of receiving both, Hana is drawn into the dark underbelly of her father's myths and folktales. Her father is kidnapped, and she is attacked in her NY apartment by monstrous yokai known as Snake-Heads. When Hana is rescued by a pair of kitsune; shape-shifting fox demons, with sharp teeth and sharper claws, she realizes they have more in common than meets the eye. The kitsune are her family, and she is heir to the clan. Hana Steele has yokai blood in her veins, but that alone will not protect her from the darker forces on the horizon.
A fallen god is rising again in the shadows of Japan. His aim is to plunge the world into darkness with his Night Parade; a force of 1,001 enslaved yokai, aided by the monsters of the Underworld.
When Hana is called on by the gods to gather the treasures of Japan to defeat Osure, she will need to rely on her friends. There is Edo, a dark kitsune assigned as her guard and shunned by his own clan for cowardice, his cousin Masato, a bookish healer, and Isao, a raven-demon with the face of an angel and the blood of a mountain prince.
From the mountains of Japan to the depths of the Japanese Underworld, Hana Steele will need every friend she can find and every ounce of power she can call on from her yokai blood. Because in the end, at the grave of a god, Hana Steele will fight to save her friends, her family, and the world.

The Marquess of Winchester
Amelia's been on the streets since she can remember. She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester. Amelia's been trying to find her mother for as long as she can remember but all she has is a name. What neither Amelia nor Ezra knew, was that that name would connect them in a way neither would've ever imagined. She finds someone so broken under that cold exterior that she can't help but want to help him. They get thrown into a world of witches, wizards and magic and evil. They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil. Along the way, they recruit five other individuals each experienced in a different area of magic. Who will love and who will hate? Who will even live to tell the tale? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first draft, I've edited it along the way but the more I revisit and edit the better it wil get.

Blood and Ashes
In a world where darkness reigns and monsters rule, humanity's survival depends on those with power. A decade ago, the Earth fell to horrific creatures-beasts that tore apart cities and destroyed what remained of civilization. In the aftermath, society fractured into four groups, each shaped by its beliefs and the supernatural abilities that arose in response to the terror. Angels heal the wounded but at the cost of their vitality. Demons wage war on the monsters, fueled by their thirst for human blood. Rare and feared devils wield blood magic that allows them to control the essence of life itself, but they must feast on monster blood to regain their strength. And then there are the God-powered-a mysterious few who possess elemental abilities that could hold the key to ending the chaos but are believed to be little more than a myth. Emery, a quiet college student, lives in the shadows of this broken world. Though she possesses the powers of a Devil, she keeps her identity hidden, unwilling to draw attention. Her days are spent in isolation, away from the chaos, with only her books and a few trusted friends to keep her company. But when whispers of a possible God-powered emerge, Emery is thrust into a deadly race. If she can find them, the union of the Devil and God could be the world's only chance at survival. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Demons are unpredictable, Angels are slowly losing their strength, and the Devils grow increasingly detached from humanity, fueled by the monster blood they consume. As the hunt for the last hope intensifies, Emery must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, hidden agendas, and monsters that are not always what they seem. In this dystopian future, where fear and power rule, Emery will have to decide if saving the world is worth the cost of her humanity.
