With the kingdom suffering from a hard year of drought Damian Storm and his half brother Caiden Lowell have been tasked with putting down the latest uprising. Tensions run high throughout the kingdom and mass rebellion lies restless on the horizon.
The king has called his high lords together for council, but when he is found murdered his children and the lords turn upon each other as the kingdom is torn asunder in the wake of this tragedy. As the battle lines are drawn, the king's children assemble their armies to take the crown for themselves.
His own father killed, Damian Storm renounces the claim the king's children have to rule and joins the war with the intent to put his brother Caiden on the throne instead, setting out to gather allies and an army of his own from those among the lords who dislike the current ruling family.

Defiance. Resilience. Those are the traits that are not appreciated from the lower class. Keep you head down, keep quiet, and do your job. That was all that was expected and wanted from you. But what happens when one very quiet rebellion, and one very loud one, come together? Unlikely allies band together, which leads to a chain of events that no one has anticipated. One small action, that's all it takes. A/N: This story is partly fantasy. Nothing supernatural introduced, but it was all created in my mind and has no link to any time in history in particular. Also, this story was inspired by a story I wrote as a young child (8-10) and I was seemingly incredibly morbid at that age (of course altered and expanded, as my idea was rather simplistic).Complete

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives.

But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games.

Where our demons hide
Book 1 in The Champions Duology. The Ceremony has happened once every five years for centuries. The concept is simple. Six kingdoms each choose two sets of twins between the ages of eleven to twenty one to fight to the death. One is held hostage, while the other joins the fight. Winning means glory and riches. Losing means death. Kaiden Lynch is cocky, sarcastic and a show off. Finley Castel is the complete opposite, quiet, naive, and easily fades into the background. It sounds like a recipe for disaster. But when the two boys are chosen for the Ceremony, they may have a chance to change each other's lives forever, but how can they change the world when only one of them can survive?
