The deal that secured Arden Finch a measure of freedom came with strings, and now everyone wants to pull them.
Arden has carved out a place for herself in Otherside-at a price. Pressure mounts as she juggles her day job as a private investigator with her new obligations, fraying relationships, and growing elemental powers. If that wasn't enough, a lich has appeared in the Triangle, sowing violence and raising zombies. Everyone wants Arden to get rid of it, including the gods.
But the lich offers something Arden has always wanted: enough power to stand alone. All she has to do is put herself first for once...and betray everyone she cares about.
Praise for Elemental: Shadows of Otherside Book 1

Aurora borealis - the academy (on hold)
Aurora: In a world where love had to be earned I would never be good enough. I was the black sheep in the family, the witch without magic. While my sister excelled in every type of way I had to suffer in silence, tormented by the people I should have been able to trust most. Having grown up with a deadly plague known as the Ghostly ravaging our kingdom, my main goal has always been to join the Special Forces to fight back. But in a cruel twist of fate I have to enter an academy - a safe ticket to the special forces- as a maid while my sister joins as a student. But finally after an eternity of hell there was a slight chance I could join the special forces and even if taking that chance meant being tormented by a handsome yet rude dragonshifter called Ronan I would gladly take it. ________________________________________ The more Aurora gets to know Ronan, the more the pieces of their past begin to fall into place-memories of a fateful encounter that should've never happened. And as their bond deepens, so does the mystery of the Ghostly, the ancient forces they're up against, and the secrets they both carry. In a world where power and loyalty are everything, Aurora must fight not just for survival-but for the truth that could change everything Start: April 2024 End: -

Unstable in more ways than one, she has to relearn the basics she tried her hardest to forget, all the while dealing with an unknown force intent on her destruction. Her saving grace might be the stranger from her dreams, the man that turns out to be more than just a fantasy, but can she accept him and his help? Can she finally embrace the magic coursing through her veins? It's not only her life that depends on it after all. ⚠️⚠️⚠️WARNING!

Lila Morgan didn't expect to wake up after she jumped. And she definitely didn't expect to wake up in the world of Fourth Wing-the book that once kept her going through the darkest nights. But this isn't a dream. It's not fiction. And survival here demands more than knowledge of what's "supposed" to happen. Now living under the name Liora Emberveil, she tells herself this is a second chance. A chance to become someone stronger. Better. Someone worth something. She throws herself into the role of a fictional heroine; confident, brave, untouchable. But no matter how fast she runs, she can't outrun herself. Because the truth is: Lila didn't come here healed. She came here broken. She's anxious, self-destructive, and still carrying the weight of a life she didn't want to live. And the more she tries to control the story, the more it spirals. Every decision rewrites the future she thought she knew. Every connection threatens the mask she's carefully built. And when she catches the attention of Xaden Riorson-a man who sees too much-her carefully drawn lines begin to blur. ⭐︎★If you enjoy this story on Wattpad but want options, it's also available on AO3!

Revival: Of Cethore ✔
The dragon is sleeping; it's fading away. Only one can awaken it, only one can revive it. Will they make it in time? Cethore was once simply a land divided by the people within. Of the seven tribes, great power ran through their veins, each power unique to its tribe, but one tribe was blessed with power over all other tribes. They united the tribes to form the nation of Cethore, run by the Council of Sixeen. For many centuries, peace reigned, until the darkness crept into their hearts. Samari is a homeless orphan hoping to find a good life somewhere, a place where she belongs. Luck is not on her side as she runs into a street fight that is bigger than it seems. When she joins a guild that works for a dead king, she finds a version of herself she never knew existed--and friends she never had. But now she has to step up in order to keep the darkness at bay. With the fate of her world in the balance, she must decide between staying comfortable or fighting for greater power. [Fairy Tail meets Avatar: The Last Airbender] Warning! This book contains violence, bullying, racism, and dark scenes. | Completed | Book One in the Of Cethore series | Featuring a map made by @LaduneComplete

Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry.

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.
