The Dark War brought to an end the reign of the witches. For a few years, the sky was blue and the bread was white, yet the transience of the peace was known to all. Decades later, evil stirs again. Far from the gates of Arlana, the last remaining kingdom of the elves, something unknown and sinister rises on the plains of Elderfrost.
When the birds return, Athena knows that the peace is over. With a faithful companion beside her, she must travel to Elderfrost, armed with a terrifying power she cannot control.
But nothing is as it seems. From the stone walls of Roselea and the marble palaces of Arlana to the cities of the Western Lands, there are many contenders who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Amid growing attractions, forbidden love, deceit, bloodshed, and a deadly disease that threatens to scorch the land and its people, can she fix the world around her, or will she break apart inside?

Whispers of the Damned: The Eternal Crossroads
Currently trending in HAUNTED PAST (#66) and MORALLY GREY (#583), this isn't a love story. It's a game darker than love. They say fate can't be escaped. But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal. Haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a past wrapped in silence, she's only ever known how to survive. Love? Trust? They're luxuries she can't afford. Until Calix-dangerous, unreadable, and hiding secrets behind every smile-enters her world. He was never meant to stay. She was never meant to matter. But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.

A Quest to the Borat ✔
We don't know what can happen to us in the next minute. We might smile, laugh, cry, hurt, or even die. But what you don't expect is to be transported into another dimension on the way back from school and be crowned the Queen of a magical nation called Eponine. "I now proclaim, Katarina Silvus Floarea, as High Queen of Eponine!" I hear as I feel the diamond-studded crown that I once admired be placed on my head. I stand up, holding the scepter, and the Golden Borat in my hands, and look at the crowd. These are my people. And I am their Queen. The most powerful Queen, ever in the millennium history of Eponine. And my friends stand beside me; I can see the pride in their eyes. To think, my name was Karen Hill, and I believed that I was a normal human is crazy. Because I was abandoned by my own father. Because finding the Borat was never easy. I found myself, I found my love, and I found the depth of my friendship with Iris and Kevin, and lastly, I found out what is betrayal.
