Lark Achard has been buried for over 500 years. Then in 2014, when the sun came up for the first time that year, she awoke. She opened her eyes and saw a silhouette of a young man against the blinding sun. "Who are you?" he asked cautiously.
Lark slowly sat up and brushed the leaves off her dark green dress. "I am Lark. Lark Achard. Have I crossed territories into your kingdom?"
He laughed lightly and said "No. This is 2014. How hard have you been hit on the head, Lark?" She thought about what he had just said: 2014. 2014. 2014. How long have I been asleep for? she thought.

Land of the Destined
In a land where everything is structured on destiny and fate, a single destiny may cause its bane. The Larkspear kingdom was a region of prosperity, magic, and destiny. People were peaceful and happy despite the lore and the truth of the Larkspear rule and its foretold downfall. But things changed after the birth of Prince Jayden Larkspear. The entire empire went silent as people waited for the king to announce the child's name and his fate. But all they got was a name and nothing else. The very next day, a decree was passed making the use of magic in public illegal. People who used magic in any corner of the territory were killed on sight. In fear, many people fled the region, and it took years for the nation to get peace once more. For almost sixteen years, the prince never appeared in public, and speculations began to grow that the prince didn't actually exist. To finally dispel these rumours, the prince finally makes his first appearance, and his life starts to change rapidly. On another end of the social ladder stood Elizah Cohen. She was a girl with just as many rumours as the prince himself. She has been shunned by those around her and has begun to lose hope for change. The only hope she had carried for so long was also starting to get snuffed out until her life began to change. A sudden meeting and an unexpected friendship interplay to form a combination of dastardly results and destruction that has barely begun. Can they figure out what destiny has in store for them before eternal chaos unfolds itself?Complete

The Dagger of Eden
In the heart of the crime-ridden Ancien City, Anjali Isa has mastered the art of stealth and murder. A deadly daggerman with the infamous Assassin Guild, she is one of the six killers serving the highest bidder in a city where secrets are currency, and betrayal is the norm. But when a new contract arrives-an assassination on the prince of Fastus, the richest and most powerful of the six magical Sila kingdoms-everything changes. The Sila kingdoms, thriving with their magic and wealth, have long turned their backs on the human lands, which are ravaged by poverty, war, and disaster. The Sila people possess unparalleled abilities and have closed their borders, leaving humans to suffer. Anjali's mission is simple: kill the prince and destabilize the kingdom. Anjali is forced to go undercover within the walls of the Fastus kingdom. But the prince, Kal, is no fool. He quickly discovers who she is, and instead of ordering her death, he turns their cat-and-mouse game into a twisted battle of wills, a contest where each must outwit and outlast the other-whoever survives wins, but neither is ready for what's about to unfold. As Anjali navigates the glittering yet deadly world of court politics, she finds herself entangled in a web of lies, manipulation, and murder. Fastus is unraveling from the inside out, and its once-glorious Tree of Vita, a sacred symbol of the kingdom's prosperity, begins to wither and die. Kal is desperate to uncover why the tree is dying and what dark force is eating away at his kingdom's lifeblood. With every passing day, secrets come to light, and enemies close in. Anjali is torn between her loyalty to the Assassin Guild and her growing understanding of the Sila. Between a kingdom on the brink of collapse and a prince who seems to know her better than anyone else, Anjali must decide where her true allegiance lies-and if she can find a way to stop the destruction she was hired to unleash.Complete
