Charred corpses and ash drifting amidst the falling snow. These are Lana's first memories in life-memories that begin when she was 11 years old. Whenever Lana tries to remember her life before, she finds an impenetrable, terrifying blackness. Only in her dreams does Lana find light, along with visions more vibrant than waking reality.
When a traveling seer reveals secrets about Lana's past, it awakens nightmares and Lana finds herself hunted by ethereal creatures known as nightstalkers. While trying to escape, Lana finds herself inexplicably falling skyward-pulled into a strange land brimming with sunlight.
In this new land, Lana begins to piece together the truth about her past as she searches for a way to return home and save her family. Forced to confront the life she had forgotten while facing terrifying new threats, Lana discovers a new power that brings her dreams-and nightmares-to life.

Half a Soul in Shadow
Some gifts are curses in disguise. Blur knows two things: how to vanish into the dark, and how to run from what hunts him. A half-elf with an unnatural affinity for shadow, he's spent years stealing relics and trading secrets-anything to outpace the ghosts of his past. But when Elara, a legendary mage as sharp as her reputation, catches him using his magic, she offers him an honest bargain: stop wasting his power, or lose it forever. Now, bound as reluctant partners, the two journey across a land where light judges and shadow saves. Elara drills into Blur the art of wielding darkness as an extension of his will, not just a hiding place. Yet the more he learns, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth-his power isn't just a tool. It's a hunger. And if he can't master it, the shadows he commands might just swallow him whole.
She fell from the stars

Amidst political intrigue, elemental magic, and the threat of war, she must navigate her growing feelings and the tangled loyalties of those around her. At its heart, this is a tale of self-discovery, slow-burning romance, and the courage to choose love even when the world demands sacrifice.
Virelight Trilogy - Book One - The Witch of Westwood Lane
