Lord Kashif, the ruler of Rendarg has seen the signs on the horizon, mauve clouds and blood red skies. Fearing what's ahead for the kingdom and to help defend against this immense threat, he sought to form an elite unit separate from the Resistance Army. This team would consist of those remaining individuals most familiar with Combat Arts.
He entrusted this task to someone who would become the kingdom's first female military leader. Heeding the call, Cecilee swiftly recruited those to which she would gladly lay down her life for. This new unit was christened by the king as - The Steel Guard.
Through countless battles and a flawless mission success rate, the war has reached a decisive point. Will darkness reign upon the land or will Cecilee and her team rise to the challenge, protecting Rendarg from the powerful foe whom was once the kingdom's greatest hero?

Candlemaiden: The Stranger Shore
Evil spirits. A cursed prince. Death itself in disarray. Iris just wants to go home, but fate has other plans for this young priestess and her odd companions. /// The land of Erinlin is dying, its ancient traditions choked out by the Kaerent church and its true priestesses, the Candlemaidens, increasingly regarded with fear and suspicion. All Iris wants is to tend her candles, win her shade battles, and chat with the spirits of her realm. But when she is torn away from her home by the Kaerent king, she learns that her country needs her to be far more than a typical Candlemaiden-- she must be as the legendary priestesses of old and walk through Death itself. *** Cover help from the awesome @ArdenBrooks.

Shadowlight
Alys was supposed to be one of the good guys. Smart, strategic, and skilled with elemental magic, she joined the hero's squad to save the world. But being the only girl on a team of golden boys meant being sidelined, ignored, and underestimated-no matter how often she saved their lives. Her ideas were stolen. Her victories were dismissed. Her pain is invisible. Until one night, Alys walks away. And into the arms of the enemy. The villainous Syndicate doesn't see her as a burden. They see her as a weapon. They praise her, protect her, elevate her. For the first time, Alys feels seen. But switching sides has a cost. As war nears its climax, Alys must choose: vengeance or justice? Loyalty or power? And most of all-who she is, now that she's finally being heard. BIG THANKS TO MY MAN FOR HELPING ME WRITE THIS AND FOR MAKING THE COVER @Johnnybio66Complete
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete

A princess, a warrior, a sorcerer, and a traitor find their lives linked by the fragments of a centuries old prophecy. With time running out and enemies appearing at every turn, will the world as they know it collapse beneath their feet?Complete
