Amelia lives in an era of change but she remembers her old life fondly. Now, the government has taken away basic rights and she must live a life of oppression in a rigid society.  After living her life held back by fear, an impulsive decision pushes her past her boundaries and changes her life forever. 

This caused her to meet Tokio, a curious boy who turns her into the phoenix she never thought she was. For her family, she turns her back on the Republic of Antigea and joins The Reform to try to show the new generation what the world was like before power hungry mongers took over. This is the story of Amelia, soon to be Atlacamani, overcoming self positioned obstacles and doing what is right no matter the price.


"She was dead. I would rebuild myself and leave her behind. I would no longer be scared. I would no longer stay quiet. I would chase feeling powerful and strong. I would avenge Jordan's  death and do whatever it takes to change this regime we are under. "- What We Really Are.

"He seemed like a puzzle to me, and I really liked solving puzzles. But somehow, I don't think that I would ever be able to solve this one." Amelia Heart, with her large smile and her infectious laugh, is what most people would think has the perfect life. They would watch as she went back to her beach house, as she went out of her way to stop and chat to her neighbours, as she would get the perfect grades. She was everything you wanted to be, and yet nobody had gotten close enough to her to understand her life in this small town at all. When her plans of leaving suddenly change, and she is forced to start attending the local school, her life takes a route that she hadn't accounted for. A new group of friends, a chance at a normal teenage life, even a potential love interest - things that Amelia had never even thought about happening after everything she'd been through. But happiness is only temporary in her life, and she knew that. It wasn't surprising to her when her past began to catch up with her present, it was simply a good thing that it had taken as long as it had. Things start happening in Amelia's life that simply don't make sense, even to her. They do say you should always keep an eye over your shoulder, especially when you know you're being hunted, but for Amelia, even an eye in every direction wouldn't be enough. Time begins counting down, fast. Did she want to involve her friends? Could the new people in her life be trusted? She wouldn't have long to make a decision. Not before her world comes blazing down, the final battle on the horizon. Tick, tock, Amelia. You don't want to be late to the party when you're the guest of honour. COMPLETED 06/11/20

In a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, Rose was born with unimaginable power-power that was stolen from her. Now, after a harrowing journey across realms, she has finally reclaimed it, but at a terrible cost. A darkness lingers within her, an entity that whispers in her mind, urging her to give in, to become something terrifying and unstoppable. As she fights to keep control, a greater battle looms. The witches who took her power have fled to the ends of the world, ensuring she can never be whole again. But Rose refuses to be broken. She embarks on a perilous journey home, facing ancient forces, vengeful enemies, and the ever-present threat of the darkness inside her. Along the way, she meets Orion, a mysterious phoenix shifter with flames in his blood and secrets in his eyes. He is both a protector and a temptation, his fire calling to something deep within her soul. But can she trust him? Or is he just another trap in the endless game fate has set for her? With war brewing and betrayal lurking in the shadows, Rose must decide-will she embrace the power within her, no matter the cost? Or will she fight against her own destiny, even if it means losing herself forever?
