All her life Kita was warned never to go into the forest behind her town. Her mother and other townsfolk would never say why, only that danger lurked beyond the tall trees that seemed to reach the sky. Ignoring her better judgement, Kita yearns to know just why everyone is so afraid of a forest and one day finds herself on a forbidden path to discover just that. Is the danger she was always warned about just a fable the parents used to keep their kids in line? Or was it really as terrible as she was taught to believe?

The Oath of the Last Keeper
In a world where human and animal coexistence reigned, Nyra, marked as the guardian of the forest, stood watch over the delicate balance that had sustained life for centuries. However, as humanity's greed escalated, chaos ensued, pushing Nyra to make the heart-wrenching decision to seal the forest, forsaking human entry to preserve its sanctity. While her initial pact with a few families held strong for generations, memories faded over time, leading to a legacy of myths surrounding the cursed forest. One day, Jonas, an unsuspecting human, stumbled into this realm and, against her judgment, Nyra allowed him to pass. His escape sparked a resurgence of human curiosity that soon morphed into a destructive wave, prompting Nyra's subjects to challenge her decisions. Faced with the consequences of her mercy, she gathered the creatures of the forest to unleash wrath upon the intruders, ensuring no human would leave alive again. The chaotic sounds of the forest surged as Nyra stood resolute. With tension rising, the whispers of the past echoed through the trees, signaling a reckoning that would unearth forgotten truths embedded within the heart of the woods. Both an exploration of trust broken and the destructive nature of humanity, the tale illustrates the struggle between obligation and belief, where once-sacred peace hangs by a fragile thread.Complete

Rescued by the Forestfolk--a group of people she always thought were nothing more than bedtime stories--Siena remains on edge. Trust does not come easily when persecution is all she's ever known. Keeping her abilities a secret seems like the right thing to do, until a tragic accident renders two Forestfolk spiraling toward death. If she chooses to reveal her abilities, she risks being subjugated again. Treated as no longer human. Maybe even sent back to the Plainsmen. But keeping her talent to herself means ignoring the injured around her, even allowing them to die.

Ravena finds herself in the crosshairs of warring factions - from the fanatical coven that has cultivated her as their "Blessed Vessel", to the astonishing emergence of powerful draconic behemoths. When one towering dragonlord turns its smoldering, bestial regard upon Ravena's exposed form, it ignites a conflagration that will scorch away her reality and thrust her into a dark mythological universe. A world where dragons rule as elemental demigods, rendering humanity as mere playthings to satiate their primal hungers.

The Chronicles of Starlyn
Elves are immortal, except death by battle or poison. Yet, despite that fact, Starlyn’s mother is dying, and nobody knows why. Starlyn loves her mother and desperately searches for any way to help her, yet it seems there is little she can do but sit and watch. Even the elven healers and herbalists are stunned and cannot find a way. Other elves turn away from her aid, afraid of a weakness –an illness- in her bloodline, and would rather her mother die than taint the other elves with her weakness. Starlyn’s sister, Arria, refuses to sit and watch as their mother dies and takes more drastic measures to try and save their mother. She dives into the restricted books in the elven library about dark magic. Dark magic has been forbidden for the elves because it is said that even the willpower of an elf cannot prevail against the touch of a dark taint. Arria is no longer concerned of her own welfare and dives heavily into her studies. Strange things begin to happen, and Starlyn ends up learning of her sister’s studies in the dark magic and is forced to confront her. The elven law states that if you begin in the art of forbidden magic that you are forever an outcast from the elven order. Starlyn wishes to reason with her sister that dark magic is not the way. Her love for both her mother and sister leave her torn to either save her mother or her sister, and if at all possible to save them both. However, if she doesn’t make the right choice, it may condemn both of them to death, and leave Starlyn without family, which is the very thing she treasures the most.Complete
