Book 1 of The Dark Faerie Chronicles
Beyond the mortal realm exists a world sustained by magic, where faeries are born with a single purpose: to serve. Their powers are gifts meant to create, protect, and preserve the balance of the realm--each one a reflection of what the kingdom needs to survive.
Every faery except one.
Alina Winters--known in her kingdom as Alina Withers--is the only dark faerie ever born. While others create and heal, her magic brings decay and death. An outcast and a pariah, Alina grew up believing she was made to destroy, not to belong.
Then a mysterious army invades, wielding powers disturbingly similar to her own. The attack shatters everything the faeries thought they knew about their world. Alina's existence is no longer an anomaly. There are more faeries beyond their realm. Far more than anyone imagined.
When someone she loves is threatened, Alina does the impossible. She discovers a second power--one that contradicts everything she was taught about herself. No faery has ever wielded more than one gift.
As Alina's world expands she must confront whats in her past, her newfound power, and the possibility of love. Alina must master her abilities and uncover the reality of the world beyond her kingdom, and prepare for a future she never expected: the crown.

Elyra: Legend Reborn
There is a force older than time itself, flowing unseen through the land, the skies, and the souls of those who walk this world. Some call it magic. Others, destiny. But in Elyra, power is not merely taken-it is earned, stolen, fought for, and sometimes... cursed upon the unworthy. The continent stretches endlessly, its lands carved by ancient wars and civilizations lost to history. Ruined cities stand as silent witnesses to battles long forgotten, their stone walls whispering secrets only the daring seek to uncover. Deep within the mountains, martial artists forge their bodies into weapons beyond human comprehension, their strikes capable of shattering steel. In the grand halls of scholars, mages bend the laws of reality, weaving spells that twist the very fabric of existence. Some claim magic is boundless, limitless in potential... but those who reach too far often find themselves consumed by forces they cannot control. But for every force that builds, another seeks to destroy. Beneath the surface, fire rages in an endless inferno, a realm where even the bravest fear to tread. High above, unseen hands pull at the strings of fate, shifting the balance of the world with every whisper. And hidden within sealed chambers, beings older than the stars slumber, their names long erased from mortal tongues. Legends speak of a kingdom that once ruled everything, a kingdom that no longer exists. Some say it was consumed by its own greed, others whisper of a power too great for the world to bear. Yet remnants remain-artifacts, symbols, fractured pieces of a puzzle scattered across the land, waiting for those foolish or ambitious enough to seek them. The air is shifting. The world stirs. Something is waking up. And when it does, Elyra will never be the same.

The Lamprey [1]
Witches are stealing human bodies. They use them to deceive other humans, to slaughter them, devour them whole. The only way they can die is by fire, and when fire is involved, things burn. With the gods absent and the world ablaze, its up to the witch-slayers to put it out. But it's a losing battle. Gremaud has nothing and wants nothing but the strength to save his burning kingdom from fire. But prophecy follows in the wake of his comrade, the chosen one. Visited by Smoke, a mysterious voice carried by wind, he is warned against his own will, but is left with only envy for his comrade- and hate. The chosen one is Adler, and he's the strongest soldier the Old Dominion has seen since the heroes of old. Adler is also the crown prince, raised safely behind walls by men and women whose only goal was to gain his favor, and his throne. So he's done with glory, comfort, and prophecy. At the end of the world, all he wants is a real friend. The bastard Evane is past his prime, and weak to stop the flames that engulf his homeland. In fact, he's already been burned by fire, and now walks mutilated and hated by the oppressive theocracy which promises equality and peace. But unable to fight and blessed with illegal magic, he's found the only way to put out the fire is to stop fighting with it. The Lamprey is a grimdark horror with graphic themes, including gore, violence, and trauma.

When a shadow creeps across the border of her realm, threatening her people with war, Ciara knows she must act.

But in a world of shifting loyalties and dangerous bargains, nothing comes without a price. As secrets unravel and tensions mount, Ciara must navigate a treacherous path where every choice could mean betrayal.
