Made of Ash and Flames
In a realm where ancient magic still lingers in the blood of powerful races, one woman's forgotten past may decide the fate of them all. Kreya is a solitary merchant, hardened by survival and haunted by half-remembered dreams. She keeps her distance from others-especially the Velians, a race of magic-wielders she instinctively mistrusts. But when a violent encounter leaves her badly wounded, she wakes within the walls of a palace she never meant to enter... under the watchful eye of a man she does not yet know is king. Averin, the Velian ruler, walks the line between duty and compassion. As tensions rise between the races and the threat of war looms, he can't afford distractions-especially not in the form of a sharp-tongued human woman with secrets that could unravel everything. But Kreya's presence is more than coincidence. Strange magic stirs around her-an awakening force tied to whispers only she can hear, and memories that shift and blur like smoke. As her past begins to surface, so does a power long thought extinguished... one that could ignite an ancient war or forge an unexpected future. *Made of Ash and Flames* is an action-packed, slow-burn romance that weaves together the fates of two unlikely heroes, testing their strength, loyalty, and love in a world on the brink of destruction. Will Kreya and Averin find a way to save their world-and each other-before it's too late? **Mature content warning. Some aspects of this story may include triggers so please read at your own risk.**

The world ended a long time ago. Some humans survived. But in order to do so, the original Survivors enhanced themselves with animal DNA, adopting traits that allowed them to live in this mutated wilderness of giant Beasts and vast, unexplored swathes of jungle-AKA, the Wold. But something that unnatural had to come at a cost. Meet Ash-one of the unlucky ones. She's almost human-71%, to be exact. With cat claws, ears, and a lot of anxiety, she's on the run to avoid death or slavery at the hands of human purists in the Capital. And, she just might have accidentally set out to save the rest of her kind along the way. When she encounters Stone on her quest, a brooding wolf-boy who relies on knives and sarcasm to fight his way through the Wold, she may get a lot more than she signed up for, as he decides to accompany her along on her quest. Through endless battles, hidden villages, and touching encounters with the travelers of the Wold, Ash and Stone may just change the world as they know it.Complete

Gears & Smoke
The war was never theirs to fight-only to survive. When Solmara falls to rebellion and ruin, Evie Carter and Leo Donovan are left with one goal: escape. She's an engineer with secrets. He's a drifter with nowhere to call home. Neither are warriors, but in a world collapsing around them, survival means risking everything. Their only hope lies in Vassir's Gate, a distant safe haven whispered about in dying cities and fractured transmissions. But the road is treacherous. The enemy isn't just an invading army-it's the lawless chaos left in its wake. From burning airships to frozen wastelands, every step brings new dangers, new betrayals, and enemies determined to ensure they never make it out alive. Through it all, Evie and Leo fight side by side-mismatched, stubborn, and unwilling to let the other fall. But trust is fragile, and love is dangerous when every mistake could mean death. As battles rage and desperation sets in, one question remains: will they reach safety together, or will the war break them before they ever see peace? A steampunk sci-fi fantasy filled with adventure, peril, and slow-burning romance, Smoke & Gears is a story of survival, love, and the unbreakable bond between two souls in a world that refuses to let them go.

Maxine is an 18-year-old girl who is bored and lonely, living in California in the year 2351.

When she starts her search for the island and bumps into Elis-the man in her dreams-she suddenly knows it wasn't all just a making of her imagination.

However, not everything is what she thought it would be when she finally finds the island, and her dreams become a harsh reality. Elis turns out to be someone else, and when another man swoops in every time Maxine is in danger, she becomes confused about what love really is.
