The proud city of Kindra sits atop its shining pedestal at the center of a vast flat green landscape. The multi-tiered city boasts as the crown jewel of civilization. The city's highest point at its center is the seat of their government, the streets and architecture progress downward through the five districts of the city, each of which plays a different role in maintaining the balance of Kindred society.
Life is going well for Moira, the daughter of a Cerulean woodworker, as she prepares to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. As her peculiar abilities come to the surface, her world gets turned upside down as she begins to glimpse her true powers. All her life she has proceeded along the natural path the city council dictates for all of its citizens, but the newfound abilities make her question everything she's been told.
When her father suddenly vanishes from their home, a stranger appears with news that the life Moira leads is not her own.
With the lives of the people she loves hanging in the balance, will she be able to stay true to herself and expose the tyranny of the so-called perfect city of Kindra? Or will the hidden powers pulling the strings find a way to make her disappear, like so many others?

The Blade and The Bird
She'd spent many years playing in this forest as a child. While Selene had enjoyed her novels in the warmth of the house, a blanket wrapped around her narrow shoulders, Sidra always came home covered in mud and scrapes from hours out in the wilderness. She'd take an axe out into the forest and pretend to fight off monsters, the terrifying Mystics that her grandmother had told her stories about. She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away. She'd always return home and tell Selene about the monsters she'd fought that day, spinning together a story of courage and bravery for her little sister. She felt that pain in her heart again as she thought of those times. Through the years, she'd stop going into the woods to play, and she'd instead find stories for Selene. Books of all sizes and shapes, no matter the content, because it made her feel close to her sister just as she had before her parents died. She thought of her family now, how she was all alone. Her parents had been gone for years, her grandmother, and now even Selene was missing somewhere. She needed to find her sister, she couldn't lose the last bit of her family. **Complete

In the rapidly evolving world of Theralia, where the roar of machines drowns out the rustling of leaves, a young girl named Lira discovers she possesses a rare and ancient gift-the ability to communicate with the natural world. As industrial expansion threatens the mystical balance of enchanted forests, deep oceans, and boundless skies, Lira's quiet village life is upended when she miraculously averts a natural disaster. Her heroism catches the eye of Eldrin, a wise but reclusive mage who unveils the broader crisis facing their world: the very essence of nature is under siege. Guided by Eldrin and accompanied by Corin, an inventive soul whose creations inadvertently harm the earth, Lira embarks on a formidable quest to revive the heart of nature. From the deepest caves haunted by forgotten magic to the sprawling mechanized cities that feast on the earth's resources, the trio confronts corrupted societies and monstrous creatures, all spawned from human neglect and greed. As Lira's journey unfolds, she evolves from a timid village girl into a symbol of hope and a beacon of change. "Whispers of the Wild" is not just a tale of adventure but a stirring manifesto on coexistence and respect. It challenges us to listen more closely to the whispers of the wild and to act before the last leaf falls, before the last wave crashes, and before the last breeze turns to silence. Through Lira's eyes, we are invited to reclaim the lost harmony between humanity and nature, reminding us that in the whispers of the earth lies the secret to our survival.Complete

Shattered Crown
Lira has lived her entire life as an outcast in the palace, under the cruel thumb of her stepmother, Queen Isolde, who rules the kingdom with an iron fist. Raised as an orphaned noble, Lira was told that her parents were mere servants who died when she was young. She has been repeatedly told that she has no power or potential. Her stepmother constantly belittles her, while her stepsister, Anya, delights in tormenting her at every opportunity. What Lira doesn't know is that she's the true heir to the throne-her real parents were the beloved king and queen, murdered by Isolde, their treacherous servant, who has claimed the crown for herself. To ensure Lira never threatens her reign, Isolde has kept her true identity hidden and has suppressed Lira's latent magical abilities, which would make her an unstoppable force. As Lira grows older, strange things begin to happen around her-faint whispers in the wind, flickering lights, and moments where time seems to stop. When a mysterious stranger arrives in the kingdom with knowledge of her past, Lira's world begins to unravel. Slowly, she starts to uncover the truth about her heritage, her powers, and the dark secret that could change the fate of the kingdom. But as she inches closer to discovering the truth, Isolde tightens her grip on the throne, sending her loyal followers to silence Lira forever. With her magic awakening and enemies closing in, Lira must decide whether to fight for her rightful place as queen-or let the darkness consume her before she ever has a chance to reclaim the crown.Complete

Elyra: Legend Reborn
There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.
In a world where magic has long been thought to have died out centuries ago, Demira finds herself in the center of a fantastical conspiracy. Rumors of creatures from another realm quickly spread through the continent of Astoria and it's four territories. Turns out, magic isn't as dead as the people thought it was, and as Demira travels across the continent she uncovers truths no one thought existed, and hidden conflicts in places thought to be unknown.
