Book 1 of the Land of Green and Gold Trilogy
Escape. That had been Max's goal since the day he and his little sister, Lucy, had been torn from their mother and sold to a new master. A goal that would whisk Lucy away from the hard labor, skimpy meals, and cruelty of the taskmaster. But the opportunity never arose.
Then one day magic-a thing of stories, of something humans had stifled long ago-returns, and all Elder are given the mysterious command to travel to the unheard-of Land of Green and Gold. Chaos erupts as slaves use their new powers to escape. Max and Lucy plan their escape as well. Night comes. And everything goes wrong.
To Max's horror, Lucy is randomly selected to be beaten-a warning to those considering flight. Max escapes with his friend, Mary, instead, and they hide on the outskirts of the master's land to wait until Lucy is healed enough to flee. Then, a botched rescue mission and gun injury later, Max finds himself running even further away from his sister to rush Mary to a nearby Elder haven for help. During their stay at the haven, Max is confronted with a new problem; a chest-squeezing, cold-raking fear of the taskmaster hunts him. The hunt creeps into his nightmares and disconnects him from the shadows he should be able to control. And no magic means no way to save Lucy.
As the nightmares grow worse and the arrival of a serial killer further complicates things, Max fights to grow in his powers and overcome the hunt of fear. He will save Lucy. Even if it costs him his life.

Select
Gray has trained for over a decade to enter the rank of Select, an elite group that serves the realm's six courts. But first, she must impress court rulers during the Selection, where each court hosts dangerous tasks to test the Select. Gray is confident she'll be the top choice due to her rare fog magic and unyielding ambition until she fails to prevent the death of a lord during an attack. With the chance to prove herself worthy of a coveted position in the balance, she must persuade his only surviving son, Trystan, to support her in continuing in the Selection or risk dismissal. As the new lord, annoyingly handsome and stubborn Trystan is still a target with no allies, and he doesn't trust anyone, much less the woman he blames for his father's death. Desperate not to lose her chance at the future she knows she's worthy of, Gray shares a secret that could lead to her exploitation: she can access minds. She swears to use her magic to identify threats for Lord Trystan while he repairs the relationship between his court and others. Allied, they maneuver through the Selection, careful to keep a wall between duty and distractions, but secrets are being kept from them. Guards with haunted memories, brutal attacks along the borders, and people going missing in every court begin to stack up. All mention the same thing: an unnatural bright light- the same one Gray saw before Trystan's father died. Suddenly there isn't a clear definition of who the heroes or villains are. All Gray knows is that one side is offering her a title far grander than 'Select', but it will cost her everyone she cares about -- including the new lord she's beginning to fall for.Complete

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home.

Crossing Borders
Not being able to shift can really take its toll on someone. But for Lily, she's gotten used to it. Of course she craves to be a werewolf and run along with the pack instead of jumping from tree to tree like a squirrel but what can you do? Get kidnapped sounds like a good idea. "I mean, you're a human who kind of belongs to my pack now. Since you know, you crossed" he said, still advancing towards me. "But... but by crossing the boundary wouldn't you belong... belong to ours then?" I said as he reached. His heavy body rested on mine, letting me feel his heartbeat. His was slow and steady. Mine was probably going on like a bee who had gotten his honey stolen. "You're observant. But it only counts if I was caught" "But you were caught" I said as his hand twirled a strand of my hair once again. "By who?" he said, putting the strand behind my ear. "M-me" I said, trying to sound brave. I never sounded brave. Not even when I was. "Yet, you're not going to be able to tell anyone" he smiled. "Why... why not?" "Because you're mine now" Posted on 17 June 2017Complete
