It begins with a plant. It begins with Baz.
In the old days of the Empire, only talented Casters could eat the Baz grains and tap the power that lay in the seed. Bazza'Casters were powerful, legendary figures with abilities that were limited only by their talent, skill and imagination.
These days, Casting is for everyone. Bazza'Jo brought the power of Baz to every corner of the Empire, using it to bring all the lands of the world together. Because of Bazza'Jo, everybody can Cast. Everybody does.
Living in the furthest reaches of the Empire, Raina Ratherham doesn't care about Casting. She's more concerned about the conflict that is brewing between the people of her home town and the people who live in the woods that surround them. Raina is just as fiercely loyal to her friends in the woods as she is to her family in the town. Caught between field and forest, Casters and warriors, farmers and hunters, Raina is determined not to choose a side. She is going to fight to protect them all against the distant powers who are trying to break them apart...
Bazza'Jo is a Young Adult Fantasy inspired by the wonderful books of Philip Pullman, Kenneth Oppel, Frances Hardinge, Diana Wynne Jones and others! I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Shadows
"You know it won't go to the West," he said dropping his voice. "Maybe you're wrong. Who knows," she shrugged. Her shoulders had slumped but she had managed to not let any tears spill. "Baum knew what he was doing when he made the West wicked, Mary," he hissed. "The East was wicked in that book too, dumbass," Mary retorted. Jacob's hands went into fists to keep from pushing at his hair. The tree behind them began to shake slightly. The ground gave a tiny rumble. *************************************************** Mary's father recently passed. But she is finding out it might not have been from natural causes... Family adversaries threaten everything while influential other worldly authorities pull the strings. Mary will have to work with an unlikely ally from her childhood to navigate their new found powers and reclaim balance. Meanwhile... one dark soul is climbing the ladder of chaos.

Veil Of Ash
The Bovi people have never been accepted. Marked by traits that set them apart from the rest of humanity, they are shunned, feared, and branded as monsters. Denied peace and survival, they are forced into the shadows, relying on acts of terror to strike back at a world that would see them erased. Their resistance, desperate and violent, ignites a war with a powerful neighboring empire. Into this storm steps Vespera, a young soldier fresh from training, loyal to her Emperor and determined to prove herself. But the battlefield is nothing like the order and honor she was promised. She finds herself caught in the blood-soaked middle ground, where assassinations, ambushes, and massacres are tools of survival-and no side's hands are clean. As the war escalates, Vespera is pulled deeper into the gray spaces between duty and morality. The Bovi fight for existence, the Empire for dominance, and she is forced to bear witness to the corruption of ideals she once believed unshakable. Her faith in the Emperor-revered as incorruptible and just, begins to waver with every shadowed truth revealed. Now, Vespera must choose: remain the loyal soldier and blind herself to the blood on her hands, or risk everything to confront the possibility that the true monster may not be the Bovi at all... but the very Empire she swore to protect.

Earth, After ✔️
Some fates are worse than death--survival is one of them. In the two hundred years since humanity left the Earth's surface to live in the sky, life on the ground faded to a myth, a tragic memory from which they severed themselves to survive. They floated above continents turned to sand and lands swallowed by the seas, watched storm after storm rage against their cities and their monuments until they broke apart the last vestiges of civilization in penance for generations of human greed. As a lightning harvester charged with flying her ship into these storms for energy, Raina has seen more of the planet than most. She has spent her entire life soaring above its craters and scars, studying the gaping wounds of human devastation, as she honed her skills and became the youngest captain in storm-chaser history. Her ship has flown for generations. Her skills are unparalleled. But none of that matters the day they go down. ~ Praise for Earth, After: "I'm so not ready for this ending.

Hazar, who needed to learn to be a Weaver to become a swordsman, wanted only to become an Explorer and seek revenge. Müge, who was experiencing the same things as him, remained silent. Even Hazar didn't know what Müge was thinking; they were unaware of how vast and powerful beings filled the world. From the very first sparks of his life, Hazar possessed a spirit that dreamed of pushing the boundaries of the world. This dream was nourished by the stories and adventures his mother had told him. However, one day, the borders of his homeland were breached by enemies, and Hazar narrowly escaped the clutches of death. Grateful for having survived, Hazar and Müge stepped into a new chapter of their lives. Their greatest support in this endeavor came from Master Korkut.

Müge, who had endured similar ordeals in a harsher way, watched silently as events unfolded. No one could know what she was truly thinking. Which paths would Hazar and Müge choose to reach their goals? What decisions were they ready to work for? For this reason, Hazar especially wanted Verzemeg to teach him swordsmanship. Yet Verzemeg did not share the same opinion. How would the conflict between Hazar and Verzemeg resolve? This was only the beginning of their story.
