Tears from the sky
" Dont let the fire fade my dear" Those words never made sense to Kallen no matter how many times he heard them. She always said he had a fire under his feet but he never understood why. Not until he was branded with a mark. A mark that came with a voice. One he couldn't get rid of and one he would have to live with. A voice that would lead him to a world he had never heard about. A world that was his and one he couldn't imagine exsisted. Kallen has been tasked to find the Seven pieces of the holy grail. This grail can grant whoever holds it any wish they may desire. No matter the cost, the price, or severity. Kallen will have help in the form of the Insignias but he must be aware that they are the hunted. He will be against the Court of Diamonds and they will stop at nothing to reform the grail as well. The Race has started and only one side can win, only one side shall win. The question of which side gets to win is what hangs in the balance Many have wandered in search of the grail and many have fallen victim to the wish they want granted. Who will be the one to bring the pieces together and what will that person wish for?Concluida
The Purple Thief (Book #1) Chapters 1-3
Are you Fair or Strange? Be careful which one you choose. A prophecy echoed throughout Valeera, but only one kingdom twisted it-enforcing a law that split its people in two: the Fair and the Strange. One was promised peace. The other, eternal doom... or so the people believed. 18-year-old Mageia Unknown is a well-known thief with purple eyes living in a kingdom divided by the blessed and the oppressed. Her only desire is to care for her family, the Lost Ones, and rescue children treated unfairly. But one night, she decides to rescue children meant to be sacrificed for a holy ceremony and things do not go as planned. She soon discovers why she has purple eyes and it comes with an anointing, connected to a long-lost prophecy, and the awakening of magical powers. 18-year-old Grisonce Arlon is not the most respected prince in the Kingdom of Ardania. Shunned for an imperfection that stains the royal bloodline, he had grown obsessed with the Fairest Prophecy and a forbidden book that reveals the truth. When everything begins to point to the well-known Purple Thief, their paths cross and uncovers a threat within the palace that may destroy the kingdom. He is forced to protect the anointed Fairest, but is he willing to sacrifice his life and those he love while doing so? Received an Honorable Mention Award from The BookFest Fall 2023 Contest.

With only two weeks to spare before the curse becomes permanent, the trio and their allies go on a scavenger hunt to find a cure.

Two Cursed Souls
For thousands of years, the citizens of Asterria have lived at odds with the reclusive Clans who dwell within the Mountains of Donoa, and in recent times the tension has begun to erupt. An act of self defense which led to two lives lost spurred hostility on both sides, and a vindictive witch seeking revenge for the life of her slain kin invoked a dark curse upon Asterria's twin Princes. Now, two centuries past, Kyran and Konan Renhael have lived in fear of the manifestation of their curse as tensions continue to rise. The Clans have been lashing out with increasing aggression and most fear open attacks will soon follow, but as dark impulses and blooded bodies begin to follow in the Princes' wake, it is clear the Clans are not their only concern. In an effort to find a way to break the curse before it is too late, Kyran travels to a Clan village seeking the Matrons, the same circle of witches as the one who originally cursed him and his brother. There he meets the wild and cunning Ylva, one of the heads of the Matron order. Working his way into her good graces could get him closer to finding a way to break the curse, or ensnare him in a new one entirely. Either way, only one thing remains certain. Failure will leave Asterrians drowning in blood, and mark the dawn of another Dark Age. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with manipulation, emotional and verbal abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Concluida
