When Tanrin-the only family Rita has left-falls to a sickness no healer can cure, the elders tell her to accept his death. But Rita refuses.
She's heard whispers of a forbidden forest, a place where no one returns the same... or alive. Somewhere inside it lies a fruit said to heal any wound.
To save him, she must step into a world of demons, curses, and madness-and risk - becoming the very thing the elders fear.
Rita knows the price of hope. She's willing to pay it.
Even if it kills her.

Lost in Darkness
"Suddenly, I found our faces so close together, I could feel his warm breath caressing my face. It smelt slightly of mint, and an undercurrent that was all Cole-pure masculine goodness.I breathed in deeply, my eyes briefly fluttering closed. God, since when did he smell so good?" Raven has lost everyone. Her mother and twin sister died, her father left, leaving her in alone in the world with powers that she barely understands. All that Raven has left is Cole, her best friend. When a dangerous enemy resurfaces intent on killing Raven, Cole swears he will do all he can to protect her. As the two get pushed closer together, will their combined powers be enough to save them? Will Raven be able to stop her heart from shattering to a thousand pieces? *** Please keep in mind that this is a first draft, and is, for the most part, unedited. I know it's not at its best, but I'm working on it... "Wow, I am so hooked!" "You captivated me from the start..." "The storyline seems very original..." The above were just a few of the comments I received... :) As you can tell, this is also a romance as well as paranormal/fantasy :) hehe Laura__Zalenga owns the right to the picture in the cover...Complete
The seven kingdoms of Evangelina
In a world fractured by ancient magic, seven kingdoms stand on the brink of chaos. Shadows rise from forgotten places, and the balance between light and darkness is breaking. Nanì Clearwater, a young healer born with only one wing, has lived his life as an outcast. His gift to channel light is both a blessing and a curse, forcing him to walk the fragile line between survival and sacrifice. When a mysterious illness known as the Black Hunger begins to spread across the land, Nanì finds himself entangled in a destiny far greater than his own. Drawn into court intrigues, rebel plots, and forbidden prophecies, Nanì must journey across kingdoms where mythical beasts rule the skies and sacred forests whisper with memories of gods. Beside him stand unlikely allies-his loyal sister Arlina, the fierce Lydia, and Wayne, a knight bound to duty but hiding his own secrets. But as Nanì's dreams grow darker and the voice of a forgotten deity calls his name, he learns that his gift is the key to sealing-or shattering-Evangelina's fate forever. A tale of courage, betrayal, and forbidden love, The Seven Kingdoms of Evangelina is the first chapter of an epic saga where every choice leaves a scar... and even light casts shadows. This is a work in progress. What you'll find here are the first chapters of a story I've been carrying in my heart for a long time. My hope is to share this dream with you, to receive your feedback, and to grow together with every page. I truly wish you can fall in love with Evangelina's world as much as I have while creating it.
Malion: Royal Blood
"A short yelp escaped her as she slipped off the edge with a fist full of flowers. I shrieked her name and dove off after her. I grabbed her, hugging her close to me. "What the hell are you doing, Decoda! We're going to die!" She shrieked. "Come on, come on!" I chanted, willing my wings into existance. Fire surrounded me and I opened my wings, appearing almost stationary in mid air only about 20 meters from the water. Before I could move them, a horrid shot of pain ripped through my wing as I fealt it tear. I shrieked and whirled around as my wings deteriorated and hit the water first. A stabbing pain in my back hit me first, then another one in the back of my head, causing my vision to black out."Complete

whispers of nature
In the rapidly evolving world of Theralia, where the roar of machines drowns out the rustling of leaves, a young girl named Lira discovers she possesses a rare and ancient gift-the ability to communicate with the natural world. As industrial expansion threatens the mystical balance of enchanted forests, deep oceans, and boundless skies, Lira's quiet village life is upended when she miraculously averts a natural disaster. Her heroism catches the eye of Eldrin, a wise but reclusive mage who unveils the broader crisis facing their world: the very essence of nature is under siege. Guided by Eldrin and accompanied by Corin, an inventive soul whose creations inadvertently harm the earth, Lira embarks on a formidable quest to revive the heart of nature. From the deepest caves haunted by forgotten magic to the sprawling mechanized cities that feast on the earth's resources, the trio confronts corrupted societies and monstrous creatures, all spawned from human neglect and greed. As Lira's journey unfolds, she evolves from a timid village girl into a symbol of hope and a beacon of change. "Whispers of the Wild" is not just a tale of adventure but a stirring manifesto on coexistence and respect. It challenges us to listen more closely to the whispers of the wild and to act before the last leaf falls, before the last wave crashes, and before the last breeze turns to silence. Through Lira's eyes, we are invited to reclaim the lost harmony between humanity and nature, reminding us that in the whispers of the earth lies the secret to our survival.Complete
