The start to Sereia Marlow's last summer before post-college life commences was supposed to be filled with sunny summer weather, lake life, and enjoying every moment with her best friends. Unfortunately, that's not the case. As Reia and her friends enjoy their first day on the water, she's playfully thrown into the water only to resurface as snow falls from the summer sky and the lake having turned into a winter snowstorm; sadly, her friends are floating dead in the freezing water with frozen looks of terror distorting their faces.
There hasn't been a recorded death at Kepnick Lake in over 200 years, so no one in Kepnick is taking Reia's claim seriously. Without aid, it is up to Reia alone to look into their mysterious disappearances. As she uncovers disturbing facts about her family, Sereia might have to turn to herself as the explanation for their deaths.

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019
When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixieComplete

And the ride to knowing about the fact that you don't know is a bumpy one. But to find out who the other person is who knows about night other than her could cost her many things - even her own sweet life. TWComplete

The Lake's Shadow
SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/8e0tKmo The Lake's Shadow They say the lake is cursed, a dark mirror to the past that never forgives. For generations, the small, superstitious town has whispered the same warning: never swim in its waters past midnight. But when 17-year-old Lila Montgomery dares to break the sacred rule, she emerges forever changed. What begins as an act of rebellion soon unravels a chilling truth-beneath the lake's placid surface lies a vengeful spirit tethered to the sins of the town's ancestors. Shadows grow bolder, whispers fill the silence, and the boundary between life and death begins to blur. As Lila races to break the curse, she must confront betrayal, sacrifice, and the haunting legacy of Elara, the ghostly figure whose pain fuels the lake's hunger. With time slipping away, Lila and her unlikely allies-a loyal friend harboring a secret, a skeptical rival, and an eccentric storyteller-embark on a harrowing journey to unearth the lake's darkest secrets. But when faced with the ultimate choice, how much will Lila sacrifice to save herself-and at what cost? The Lake's Shadow is a heart-pounding tale of forbidden curiosity, unbreakable bonds, and the chilling price of redemption. Some whispers are better left unheard, and some waters, undisturbed. But once you dive in, the lake never lets you go.Complete

And the boy she's supposed to hate? He just might be the only one who sees her for who she really is. When an ancient prophecy resurfaces and three supernatural factions-Vampires, Daylighters, and Mythryns-are forced to compete in a deadly game for control of the Blood Fruit, Aurelia finds herself torn between loyalty and love, vengeance and peace. With war on the horizon and her own powers spiraling, she must decide: follow the path carved for her, or burn it down and make her own. Caught between Victor-the brooding vampire with a hidden heart-and the expectations of her people, Aurelia's choices could heal the supernatural world...or destroy it completely. Romance. Betrayal. Found family. And a girl who refuses to be anyone's pawn. This is not your average enemies-to-lovers story. This is the battle for a future no one saw coming.Complete
