In the small village of Eldoria, nestled in the peaceful kingdom of Valandor, Thalia lives a quiet life as a doctor. She has a secret-magical abilities that she keeps hidden from everyone. These powers, which she has learned to control, are the reason she stays out of the spotlight, especially after the tragic death of her mother, who had been hunted down for her own magical gifts.
One night, while walking through the woods to gather Lunaris Fern, a rare herb that only blooms under the moonlight and is known to cure certain illnesses, Thalia stumbles upon an injured man. He is heavily armored and near death, his heartbeat faint and slow. Though Thalia hesitates, guilt weighs heavily on her heart, and she decides to help him. She checks around to ensure no one is watching before she uses her magic to heal him.
The next day, the young man wakes up, but the memory of the woman who saved him is blurry-only her silhouette and the feeling of her power remain in his mind. Determined to find the mysterious healer, he asks his father, the ruler of Valandor, to search for her, unaware that the woman he's looking for is right under their noses. Thalia's secret is about to unravel, and danger may soon follow.

Red's Wolves
Alera lost her mother early in life and was raised by a strict king for a father and the many nursemaids who crossed themselves before touching her. It wasn't until she was of marrying age that she learned why the people feared her. She was canny... like her forest mother. Canny and feared to be fae. The only person besides her father who didn't seem to fear her was the handsome stable boy. He knew what she was and didn't cross himself before letting his hands touch hers longer than needed for helping her to her mount. And on her 18th birthday, neither could deny the bond that dragged them together. But her father had her sold off to make an advantageous match with the neighboring king's sullen and cruel son. Even a kingdom over, the whispers of the canny princess the people feared as fae reached royal ears.

Now with the kingdom at war with the prince she would have married, Alera must save the people who feared her from an unspeakable fate brought to their door by the sullen prince wielding a dark unknown power. -------------------- Cover by Tina Glasneck ©2022 M.Dalto Published to Wattpad 06.01.2022 Completed 03/30/2023Complete
All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
The shadow and the crown 👑
Princess Seraphine Valeria was raised to rule, not to feel. Cold-eyed and sharp-minded, the heir of Eldoria has learned that love is a weakness and sentiment is a luxury reserved for those who do not sit near power. When her father secures a political marriage to strengthen the kingdom, she bows with grace-because obedience is strategy, and strategy is survival. But fate has always had a cruel sense of irony. Kael Draven, her sworn knight-silent, disciplined, and carved by war-has stood at her side for years. Feared by enemies, respected by kings. Bound to her by loyalty... and something far more dangerous. A foreign prince wants her hand. A kingdom demands her duty. But the only man who knows her heart is the one she cannot have. One is her future. One is her undoing. And power has never been won without sacrifice. Even ice melts. Especially when fire stands too close.
