She is a monster, a nightmare, a killer, who dreams of an ancient battlefield and a different, brutal world where stars fall and dark blood stains the earth. Kye Merran is an Ember, one who wields fire magic. When a childhood friend shows up at his house with a strange girl who is bleeding black blood, he knows that he's getting into something he definitely shouldn't. Especially when the Dark King of Rurik, who may have much more to him than it seems, is looking to conquer another kingdom or two, preferably with a powerful, dark queen at his side. But Kye can't seem to stay away from the mysterious girl with the blood of Darkness. And Val can't stay away from Kye either, no matter how much she claims that she hates him. As Val, Kye, and their friends race to stop the Dark King and his approaching army, what they don't realize is that they are playing a part in an ancient, deadly game, a game between the light and the dark, one years in the making. But it is a game which neither of them can win, for their fates have already been determined by the desperate Gods, written in blood among the stars.

Things aren't going too well in the kingdom of Gushénn. The very oasis it's built upon is drying up, the border conflicts with the savages are becoming worse, and the royal family is starting to fall apart. And, to make matters worse, an elite group of anarchists has joined forces to kill King Vincent and steal his throne. Against her will, the infamous assassin Alister finds herself in the thick of things. She trained for her entire life to become the perfect human weapon, able to kill a man a dozen ways without batting an eye. The entire life that she's built for herself starts to crumble, however, as she's blackmailed into banding with the anarchists. But Rose Alister isn't as immoral as she seems. Even as an angel of death, she still finds that there are limits to what she is willing to do for money. Because of that, her loyalty and support for Prince James--the king's unappreciated and unstable younger son--become her greatest hindrance and her most crippling dilemma. For the first time in her life, she cannot bring herself to kill without remorse. As the anarchy plot within the kingdom thickens, assassin and prince come together. It's up to them to decide whether the kingdom is worth saving, even as they are forced to determine if they can first save themselves. Faced with a multitude of conflicts, Rose and James must put pride aside and learn to work together. But how can two clashing personalities hope to join forces and fix themselves, let alone mend a crumbling kingdom? (Disclaimer: "On The Edge of a Blade" addresses heavy themes. There is light profanity and references to some topics that are inappropriate for younger audiences. Please be aware of that while reading, though it shouldn't reach past a PG-13 rating. The most common justification for such a rating will be violence.) Cover Credits: @Owelz_The_Only

Herah War Hej was many things: master artist, zealot teen, and unfortunate participant. One thing she was not, was human. Born in a universe where humanity never appeared, the artist is a Cendreux; one of many dragon-like, humanoid conquerors who've turned their backs on their god. She hopes to reverse this course and make weapons for her race's planet conquering needs. Before she can do that, however, Herah must first take part in a deadly game known as Recompense. Chosen as one of two representative of her universe by her Maker, Norwe, because of her mysterious power known as a Gift, the artist must complete a series of "acts", each having its own simple but heinous task to accomplish. If won, she shall be granted a single wish of almost anything she desires. If lost, the few things she loves will be destroyed. With this threat hanging over her head, Herah has to grapple with not just entertaining her Maker, but working with the hostile human leading her team and pushing through both sins from the past and the ones she's committing in the present. Herah is in for the battle of her life. But she is a master artist, and BATTLE IS AN ART.
