Warrior Of Light [Complete/Editing]
Having a Gift is supposed to be good. But Edileth's feels more like a curse. Vowing to hide her abilities post-catastrophe, she leads a simple, disciplined life as Captain of the Guard in Kerindh. But this is all thrown into chaos when she is summoned by the Ferlian Order to transport an ancient relic for them. Edileth accepts, not knowing that it will lead her to participate in a power struggle much bigger than herself. On her journey, she is aided by a spontaneous elf who tests her patience, a healer who soothes more than physical ailments, an enchanter who is more than he seems, and an elite ranger with all the personality of a rock. Their common goal to prevent Gael-Narenth from falling to Si-ol's tyrannical sorcerer-king brings them together in more ways than one, and Edileth starts to care for her companions. But it is impossible to ignore the war approaching, and Edileth must embrace her scorned gift, or watch her companions perish. ~~~~ Won 2nd place in the Fantasy genre for The Lotus Awards 2020.

The Blood Between Us
The elves arrived a decade ago, bringing rations and magic to aid in the war. But whispers spread of a deeper purpose-of something, or someone, they were searching for. A nameless orphan girl, raised as human, has only ever known hunger and hardship. But when a single drop of blood reveals her true identity, her world is shattered. Torn from the only life she's ever known, she is thrust into an elegant and foreign world. Elven society demands she become one of them-to walk, speak, and think as they do. But she is still the girl who fought for scraps on the streets, still the child who flinches at a raised hand, still the survivor who trusts no one. Even her own mother, who mourned her death, is a stranger. As war looms and both sides demand her allegiance, she must find her place in a conflict centuries in the making. But first, she must survive a world that sees her as both its salvation and its greatest threat.
