The Coven of Three - Returned
*Sequel to The Coven Of Three* The veil has been broken-yet it is not defeated. Rowena, Witch of Earth. Selene, Witch of Water. Liliana, Witch of Fire. Together, they forged a bond strong enough to face the shadows once and survive. But victory always comes at a cost, and the darkness has grown restless, hungering for their undoing. Summoned by a horn that echoes across the night, the coven is thrust into a journey that will test not only their powers, but the unshakable trust between them. From haunted ruins to cursed forests, through illusions that claw at their pasts and monsters born of shadow, they must battle deeper into lands that want them broken. When Kaelen, a mysterious warrior-scholar, joins their path, alliances shift and hidden truths surface. Together they seek prophecy, forbidden lore, and the fragile hope of allies who may hold the answers to ending the veil's reign forever. But with each step, the veil strikes harder-twisting the world around them, dragging them toward its core, and forcing them to confront their own fears and desires. At the labyrinth's heart, a final battle awaits. The witches must fuse their magic, their love, and their fury in one desperate act-or watch the world fall into shadow. A tale of fire, stone, and storm, of bonds tested and unbreakable, this second book in The Coven of Three series is a sweeping journey of love, sacrifice, and the fight against a darkness that will not die quietly. © All rights reservedComplete

Flame of shadows
When a girl taught to believe she's insane begins to question the lies that built her reality, the truth waiting beneath may shatter both her world - and the one beyond it. Synopsis: Coryna has spent her life trying to silence the voice of madness her mother insists lives inside her. The boy she once loved - the one who made her feel seen, alive - never existed. Kyran was a figment of her imagination, a symptom of the sickness her family has always feared. At least, that's what she's been told. But the medallion she wears - a bronze circle etched with a phoenix and seven stars - pulses when she touches it, as if remembering something she's forgotten. Shadows whisper her name. And when fragments of dreams start to blur into waking life, Coryna begins to wonder if the lie was never hers. As reality fractures, she's drawn toward Lumendara - a hidden realm of light and shadow, where magic breathes and truth demands sacrifice. There, love and betrayal intertwine, and the line between sanity and illusion fades into something dangerous and beautiful. Flame of Shadows is a story of love lost and remembered, of a girl torn between the expectations of a cruel world and the call of one that was never supposed to exist. Because some ghosts aren't born of madness... they're born of destiny.
