LEGENDS WILL FALL
Kingdoms are crumbling in the land of Elysian. The people whisper of the wrath of the Gods. The Gifted, humans blessed with magical powers, are being murdered throughout the City of Empyrean.
Lady Clarisse Castor is the heir to one of the last few kingdoms remaining in Elysian. Her blood is hardly borne from royalty, but her Gifts have caused rumors to stir among the people that she could be their savior, their next queen. Only, Lady Clarisse wants nothing to do with the throne, let alone the vengeful Gods.
Working with Séverin Declan, a rising detective in the City of Empyrean, Lady Clarisse assists in the murder investigations. As the two dive deeper into the cities secrets, shadows and demons come out to play. Will the two be able to find the source behind all the murders, or will they perish without the help of the Gods?

My Fucked Up Fairytale
TEASER: "No fiancée of mine needs to learn how to fight." His breath flows upon the prickling skin of my neck. I close my eyes, involuntarily shuddering in response. "All you need to know how to do is satisfy me." "How exactly am I supposed to satisfy you?" The answer to such a question is obvious, yet, like the idiot I am, I still asked him. "Blood...and of course, other means." BLURB: When college student Cyra finds her life falling apart after a brutal breakup, she wishes for an escape-only to awaken in a realm filled with sword-wielding vampires, deadly elves, and more fantastical creatures. Unfortunately for Cyra, she's been chosen to marry a powerful vampire prince... and kill him. Trapped between survival and a dagger with a destiny, she must navigate a world where fairytales come soaked in blood, sarcasm, and forbidden attraction.

Blood Bargain ✨
Conjure a demon to catch a killer? That's Appalachian witch Ellie's last remaining hope to solve a two year old cold case that haunts her nightmares. She's still grieving her late fiancé, but the few Boone residents that don't think she killed him herself have given up on finding the murderer. Kazerin, on the other hand, is not prepared for what awaits him when he answers Ellie's request. He's used to bargaining for lust or power, not closure, and he's a little nervous about what feelings stir up the longer he's around Ellie. Their feelings only entangle further the longer that Kaz stays in town, pretending to be Ellie's new fiancé as a cover for investigating the murder. Follow Ellie and Kaz in an alternate history where Others-- demons, vampires, angels, shifters, and many more beings-- roam the earth, magic is alive and burning bright, and blood runs deeper than just our ancestry. BLOOD BARGAIN is Book #1 in the Appalachian Magic book series.
