Away from the comfort of her parent's house in the suburbs of Stellenbosch, Eleanor finds herself stranded in a world that is not hers. A world where people throw kindness away for survival, where guards patrol the city with swords and hard faces, a world where castles loom over you like a dark shadow.
Eleanor's only hope of getting back home is a magical matchstick. Her last one. If she gets it wrong this time, there is no return for her.
For now she has to face the battles of this world on her own, that is until she meets a boy who seems to carry hope around as if it is born within him. A boy who believes that Eleanor can save their broken kingdom.

The Magic She Must Not Name
In the kingdom of Dravencia, magic is forbidden. Yet Ophelia, the king's only daughter, harbors a dangerous secret: she was born with magic, a gift she barely understands and has always been forced to hide. Betrothed to a cruel prince and desperate to escape her fate, Ophelia makes a deal with a reclusive, bitter sorcerer named Dáinn Mavros. But the cost of magic is never cheap. Though she hasn't used the gift he gave her, Dáinn claims the price must still be paid-and he takes her from the palace, imprisoning her in his dark mansion deep within the woods. Ophelia grows resentful and lonely. Dáinn, haunted by his past and driven by secrets, remains distant-until one unexpected outburst reveals the truth: Ophelia's powers are more extraordinary than either of them imagined. Now, with her magic awakened and a kingdom on edge over her disappearance, Ophelia must learn to master her power, uncover the truth about herself, and decide whether Dáinn is truly her captor-or something far more complicated.Complete
The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete

The Beastkeeper's Redemption
Tiffany Cotton was not who she said she was. The peculiar woman had shown up in Ravensfield one night, wielding a pistol with a familiarity that odd, run-of-the-mill spinsters shouldn't know how to do. She was bizarrely intelligent, wore gowns that were two sizes too big for her, and a smile that transformed her face. Kaede C'Lainn had a difficult time noticing anything anymore since he drank of a liquor that had been tainted with an enchantment, forcing his hand in an act that riddled him with guilt. But he noticed Miss Cotton. Particularly how she had the penchant to show up in places that she shouldn't be. There was something about her that spiked his intrigue... and suspicions. And after the last bout of recklessness on his part, he was not about the make the same mistake twice. He believed Miss Cotton to be part of a syndicate to end his brethren's life, and Kaede wouldn't allow that to happen again.

Dark Queen: The Cybelline Prophecies
A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.Complete
