'The world has its Gods, and its Devils too . . .'
The misfit. Denrele Ọrẹoluwa Balogun was set apart because he had the same red hair as those who have the ability to control fire. But while he lacked that ability, this didn't stop the society from treating him differently, until the day he set the world on fire . . .
The assassin. Cass was only in The Damned Lands for one reason and there were supposed to be no detours. But what's a girl got to do when she met the intriguing Denrele and mistakenly killed hundreds of people? Definitely not kill more people, but that's what Cass-and Denrele-did anyway.
Two connected people find themselves working together to save their lives and the lives of people they love, but the more they run, the more they seem to be entangled in a web of conspiracies from The Blessed Lands. However, sometimes, all you have to do is let the world burn.

And never resting, the eternal battle between the powerful and powerless, progresses one step in an ever-lasting waltz between them. Onwards Ewan rides as the city burns around him.

Except for the man she saw last night. She never really thought she would meet him again. Not in the palace. Not with another identity. Not as the council member that he was. Not as her sworn enemy. Blaze King was going to be a problem. -- One act of pity and ignorance. A simple attraction between two enemies. They can change history.

Midorika and the demonic incantations
She was born to save humankind. A world belonging to humans, was taken away by ruthless homomorphs. These are group of species who were genetically modified by the demons. They took humans as their enemy and tortured them for their amusement. These species also controlled magic belonging to different elements in nature. In this universe, the only one who held magic were the demons themselves. Homomorphs were partially controlled by the demons and hence had magic limited to a certain extent. The demon's sole purpose was to make Earth a living hell for humans. Amongst humans and Homomorphs, their lived an unknown species known as Zoladas. They resided on entirely different planet and no one knows why they existed. The only ones who can solve such mysteries were Saitekies. They were born when a homomorph marries a human. They had one of the legendary spirits known as the Phoenix spirit. A legendary spirit is acquired when a demon gains complete authority over a person and Saitekies were the only ones who can do that. Hence, they could use magic to an unlimited extent. No one clearly knows about the origins of Saitekies. Midorika herself was a descendent of the Saiteki dynasty. Every Saiteki serves a purpose when he or she is born but what was Midorika's purpose? Will she survive in the world which hated Saitekies? How will she bring back justice on the face of Earth?Complete

A Priestess for the Blind God (Legends of Rahasia Book 1)
"The Blind God walks around me, and I feel my mind prodded again like it was in the cavern, a spider weaving a tangled web. "Would you do anything to be remembered, Ode, even play a villain, the one who rises against the Chosen One?" In answer, I draw my dagger and make a slight incision against my thumb. Blood drips down, hot against my flesh. I hold my hand out as an oath, a promise. My ghouls hiss, yearning to drink. "I would rather reign over darkness than grovel as a servant to the light." *FEMALE ROBIN HOOD MEETS ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS* Ode Ngayoh is the only child of a bloodthirsty desert warlord. When the Blind God chooses her as champion, she's deemed a dark witch, a blemish against the Empire for her necromantic powers of summoning ghūls, the undead. Facing off against the prince and his handsome lover, Ode stands alone with the cursed god's favor. However, the more Ode defends the outcasts of the Empire, the more she finds herself being labelled a villain...
