*** Working Synopsis ***
Kaewer Jirvaerka is the daughter actual living legends. Her father walked out of the destruction of Atlar and began the process of reconstituting a lineage of magic thought extinct nearly nine thousand years ago. History records his last stands by the handful, not the singular. Her mother lead the first Unified Drailleon Fleet to war against the Anejit in the Ascension wars over three thousand years ago. Her tactics are considered gospel in all the Drailleon remnant nations. Both are still masters in their field and leaders in the Irakan Imperium. The Jirvaerka name carries an authority in the interstellar empire that's hard to overstate.
A Lieutenant in the Imperium Navy's Kidorlus branch, the Irakan Imperium's elite special operations branch, at only 179. Kaewer's life is on track to meet the expectations the Jirvaerka family name places on her. Recalled home after a particularly bizarre and troubling set of missions, Kaewer returns to Iraka expecting a short vacation and a chance to brief her mother and the other High Admirals in person. Instead, her return prompts forces moving in the shadows to set off events that will derail her life and threaten to topple the Imperium she's sworn to defend.

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM)
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.Complete

The Serpent's Daughter - Book 1
Eveline was never meant to go to Hogwarts. Her parents wanted to homeschool her, train her to do magic without a wand, and keep her a secret from the rest of the wizarding world. However, the spell that kept her hidden wears off, and she receives a letter inviting her to start her third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To avoid gossip, her parents let her go, under the condition that she will use a fake wand and stay quiet about her heritage.

The Viterals
Zakana Hayline despises Pokémon with every fiber of his being. He's never owned a Pokémon, never thrown a Pokeball, never even held a Pokedex. That may be normal for some children under the age of ten, who haven't embarked on their Pokémon quest yet, but Zakana isn't ten anymore. He's 18. Unlike his family, and everyone around him, he is quite content with ignoring everything his lush, beautiful world has to offer. And when he finishes his training as an astronaut, he'll be able to get away for good. When his mother, Audria, rushes home after her council meeting in Pallet Town and reports that Zakana's father, and cousin, Yumin Hayline, have been kidnapped, everything is turned upside-down. Zakana's older sister, Kirish, estranged from Zakana because of their very different views on Pokemon, is in the middle of a war herself on the lonely Orange Islands. Bambi, battling prodigy and Zakana's ten-year-old cousin, and Yumin's baby sister, is six months into her academic career at one of the most prodigious schools in the region, and is just as much Hayline as the rest of the them. Her and Yumin's parents-nowhere to be found. Being a prominent and powerful Pokémon trainer herself, Audria must leave home to search for her husband, nephew, and in-laws, and leave a sheltered, helpless, and stubborn Zakana alone for the first time. His family is way more important than he could have ever imagined. According to Audria, they are being targeted by a mysterious organization know as the Viterals. Lucky for him, they are not aware of his existence. Suddenly, his place in the world comes clear into focus. He must catch and request the help of the Pokémon he so hates in order to survive and to save the ones he loves. He must open his heart and forget everything that happened that day-that fateful day weeks before he was to begin his own Pokémon journey, the moment the greatest tragedy befell his life, and changed it and his family's from every day forward.Complete
