Empowered (Unbound, Book 6)
Noreena Fallyn has faced more than anyone her age ever should-grieving her mother's tragic death, grappling with newfound abilities, and uncovering the hidden truths of her family. Now, with Zachariah by her side, no longer keeping his distance as he heals from his own brush with death, Nora is thrust deeper into the heart of the magical world. Together, they journey to a place where her destiny within this community will be forged and the missing fragments of her story will finally fall into place. Guided by her family's mentor, Nora unravels the reasons behind the heavy weight she bears-the duty to keep order in a fractured society and the truth of why only she holds the power to do so. But with these answers come revelations far greater than she ever imagined. Power, however, comes at a price, and enemies wait in the shadows. As Nora continues to recover from the trauma of her abduction, she must uncover those who seek to destroy her before they succeed in finishing what they started with her mother and grandparents. Battling her fears and pushing the limits of her abilities, Nora dives into her heritage, confronts her father's corruption, and fights to restore balance to the world of Wickenton. With danger closing in, she faces the ultimate question: can she rebuild the fragile relationship with her half-sister and hold onto Calin, or will the path to leadership force her to stand alone as so many before her have? In a tale of resilience, loyalty, and the fight for justice, Nora's choices will shape her future-and the future of everyone she loves.Complete
The Soul Collector's Oath
At twenty-three, Althea feels like the world has turned its back on her. Orphaned young and raised by her ailing grandmother, she carries the weight of rejection after rejection, each failed job application a reminder of her dwindling hope. All she wants is one chance - one reason to believe her persistence matters. But when an accident shatters her first day of work, Althea awakens in a realm beyond death. There, she is confronted by the God of Death himself, who reveals that her cries for help have been heard - not by fate, but by him. Faced with the horrifying truth of her own mangled body, Althea is given a choice: Accept judgment like every other soul, risking eternal punishment... Or swear an oath as a Soul Collector, a Grim Reaper tasked with guiding the dead to their final fate. Haunted, terrified, yet desperate to protect her grandmother and cling to life, Althea accepts the offer. Reborn into a double existence - one as an ordinary woman, the other as a reaper bound to death - she must navigate the weight of her new responsibility. But being chosen is not a blessing. Dark spirits lurk at the edges of her vision. The line between the living and the dead grows thin. And the oath she has taken binds her to secrets that could consume her soul. In a world where every choice tips the scale between life and death, Althea must learn that survival is no longer about finding a job - it's about keeping her humanity while serving the God of Death himself.

The Immortal One
On the red skied world of Tahlé the forces of Majik still breathe. It is a place where myths are made flesh and legends still walk among the races of men. One such legend is that of the Immortal One; a man who cannot be killed by spell or blade, a man who has lived a thousand lifetimes and shall live a thousand more. The Threads of Time converge upon a young woman born to the name of Säyä, who yearns for knowledge like a starving child craves to be fed. Her journey and decisions will shape far more than she ever dared to imagine as she embarks upon a quest where she shall confront the meaning of life, of death, and the fate of her own soul. The Destiny that is Written is not easily swayed from its chosen course. For Säyä, the stream of Providence will take her to places beyond anything that she could have possibly prepared herself for - to the very edges of Space/Time and beyond as she walks in the shadow of the Immortal One.Complete
