Lord Leoseth Christopher Arlodare is a 20 year old draconian who stands at the top of his class at the Phoenix Academy of Arcane Study. Born with the mark of Ashdolyr on his right hand, he was raised under the expectation that one day he may need to travel the continent of Alurn in order to guarantee that a reawakened threat does not conquer the land of seven kingdoms. He must work alongside six others, chosen by fate, to free a powerful mage in each kingdom from their own self imposed prisons before the necromancer, Elderan, can raise an army too powerful to defeat.
Leoseth thinks he has fully prepared himself, but what happens when not every member of this fated party of adventurers is pleased with being labeled a hero?

Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.

Blue Flames
"Have you no sense of self-preservation?" he asked, seeming genuinely curious. "I do. But it's kind of low on my list of priorities. Right below not sucking up to immortals, no matter if they were elders." And I really needed to shut up before I got myself killed. *** **** *** Elle Sanders is a headhunter with a secret.

Virelia Chronicles
Hidden beyond the ordinary world floats Arx Virelian..the Spire. A vast magical university, built on ancient arcane crossings, ruled by councils, old families, and secrets older than history itself. At the center of it all is Yasha Vexmoor...the only living mage who can wield raw magic with nothing but her will. No books, no wards, no chains. Some call her a miracle. Others call her a danger. She is both. Two figures pull her in opposite directions: • Grandmaster Gavros Veyron: cold, powerful, and bound to duty. • Professor Cyran Elowen: brilliant, charming, and impossible to read. Between them, Yasha must decide who to trust and who may already have betrayed her. But deep beneath the Spire, something stirs. A name long erased from every record. Malakar. An immortal shadow who once toppled empires and raised cults. After centuries trapped in the void, he wakes again. This time, he does not want conquest. He wants her.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
