Five hundred years ago, a legend was born. Half a millennia later, the lives of those involved are still as deeply entwined as ever before. There are two sides to every story, and this one is no exception.
***
For centuries, people have seen a clear division in the Arthurian legend--good and evil. And every time, Arthur is the first name on the side of good. But after the death of Merlin, the line between the pure and the wicked got a little bit blurrier. Morgana le Fey has no memory of the person she once was, and the Lady of the Lake's only duty is to protect her from the Once and Future King of Camelot, whose intentions are flawed and whose secrets are many. The trustworthiness of his famous knights in shining armour is just as debatable. Who will come out on top? Nimue's regrets and resolutions? Morgaine's anger over how she was betrayed--and portrayed? Arthur's ambition and lies? Or will the past get the better of them all?

Myrddin's Magic - Book One of the Magic Trilogy
Almost two thousand years ago, vampires, shifters and the fay were integrated in society. In the pursuit of knowledge, some Druids believed that it was better to become a vampire than it was to rely upon reincarnation. Merlin was such a man. In 500 A.D., a seer gives Merlin a prophecy that said that in 1500 years, there would be a woman born, half fay and half shifter, who would be instrumental in the fight of good versus evil. It would be up to Merlin to protect this woman. Fifteen hundred years later, Merlin, now known as Killian Wylte, rescues Amalie Le Beau from a vampire attack, a vampire that was intent upon enslaving humans and making them serve vampires. If these 'bad' vampires are able to drink Amalie's magical blood, they will become strong enough and magical enough to fulfill their quest. Killian must save Amalie - and mankind - from this fate. This is the first book of a trilogy and will be published chapter by chapter to allow more time for people to leave comments.Complete
The Lost Life of Laraine
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
