In a world divided into kingdoms and reigns, the fae rule the continent of Kiareth. A raging divide is occurring though with the new tyranny in the north, causing a shift in the society and some faes' wellbeing as the kingdoms are at the brinks of war. However, it worsens when a rebellion divides the royals and the commoners, where power slowly becomes a rarity under the constant blood shed. Causing only harm, and a new hunt for magic.
Ashley Hendrix, otherwise known as Ash, is the most feared of the Dark Children, siblings who have lived the royal life, only to be exploited for their dark and powerful magic. Ash being the youngest of the bunch, has become a feared individual amongst the public, as her power consists of the manipulation of darkness and pain. Though she is seen as the torturer of the north, she is conflicted, as she comes to realize the good her powers could do.
After meeting Andrew Jackson, more commonly known as Drew, she finds herself rebelling against the rule. If only she knew what the crown was truly capable of and the individual beneath. Will she succeed in taking the crown and breaking the pattern of pain rolling over the lands? Will she escape the royal grasp to follow her heart, or will her heart be taken first? If only she knew the betrayal, the shocking truth, and the extent of her love, before tackling the task of saving the people from the royal power, then maybe she would have had a better fighting chance.
Poor Ash, what will she do when all is lost and she is the last one standing, only able to fall as the others have?

In These Days of War
The elven kingdom of TΓrnΓ©th, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of TΓrnΓ©th and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King LorcΓ‘n, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector?

The Airbone Fate [COMPLETED]
Arianna Sapphire always thought her life was ordinary-quiet days, familiar faces, and dreams that never reached beyond the stars above her window. But everything changed on that night. A sacrifice was made-one that tore her from the only world she knew and thrust her into another. One decision, one unraveling truth, and her simple life was gone forever. Whispers of royalty and magic soon followed. Arianna discovers that she is no ordinary girl-she is the lost heir to the mystical realm of Enchancia, bearer of the legendary Diamond Sapphire. Within her flows the ancient power of air, a force once guarded by her ancestors, now awakened in her. But with that power comes great danger-especially when the kingdom's most feared enemies, the Dark King and his merciless son Cyrus, set their sights on her. They want her gem. Her magic. Her life. To protect her, Queen Celestia assigns her most trusted warrior: Captain Travis Collen, a strict, mysterious royal guard with a dark past and even darker blood. Known for his cold discipline and silence, Travis never expected to care-not for a mission, and certainly not for her. But as they face trials together-ambushes, betrayals, battles that scar both body and soul-walls begin to fall, and emotions begin to rise. Against all odds, love finds its way between sword fights and shattered skies. But can love survive when fate itself seems determined to pull them apart? Will Arianna learn to control the power that she was destined to? Can Travis protect her from the darkness? Step into a world of royalty, elemental magic, forbidden love, and war that tests the very limits of loyalty. Because in Enchancia, nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes, love is the most dangerous magic of all.Complete

A Crown of Ash and Echoes
The Shattered Crowns Trilogy continues in Book II - A Crown of Ash and Echoes, "Every crown carries echoes of the lies it was built upon." When Aurora Valenstar wakes in the dead lands beyond the Border, she believes she's the last living remnant of a kingdom gone to ash. But the truth waiting in the shadows is far crueler. She has not been stolen by monsters - she has been delivered to them. The realm of the Fae, once dismissed as myth, breathes again in ruin and vengeance. Its ruler, the enigmatic and terrifying Shadow-Crowned King, claims Aurora's blood is the key to restoring what her father destroyed centuries ago. As Aurora begins to piece together the truth of her captivity, every thread of loyalty she's ever known begins to unravel. Her father - the Peacekeeper, the healer, the man she once believed incapable of cruelty - waged a silent war of genocide. The "monster" she was taught to fear was not the one beneath her bed, but the one sitting on her father's throne. And as the veil between light and shadow thins, she begins to understand the depth of his sins - and the cost of the peace he built upon stolen lives. Worse still, Aurora's heart fractures with a second betrayal: her first love, long thought dead, lives. Alexander Darksong - the boy who once called her Little Star - now stands at the right hand of the very king who took her. His survival is not a miracle. It's a wound. He is no longer hers, and the loyalty in his violet eyes now belongs to her enemies. Between the Fae who see her as salvation, the king who sees her as a weapon, and the ghosts of two men who broke her heart in different ways, Aurora must decide what she truly stands for. Will she fight for the kingdom that raised her on lies, or the people her blood was taught to hate? As old gods stir and crowns crack under the weight of their secrets, Aurora learns that monsters are not born - they're made. And sometimes, they wear the face of the man who once kissed you goodnight.Complete
