PURSUIT | TWINS OF AMPHITRITE-1
When you are the daughter of Amphitrite, left at the doorstep of a High Priest, you learn to expect great things from yourself. But power comes at a price, and the price could be becoming a pawn in the hands of immortal beings. Which is never a good idea. Annis has lived sixteen years of her life, trying to become the fearsome warrior every mermaid claims she is destined to be. With each passing year, her powers have failed. But then the Summon arrives. For centuries, the merfolk have worshipped Poseidon, offering sacrifices in exchange for tsunamis that devastate the human world they so despise.

Summoned by the powerful and charismatic Vitus, ruler of Feridia, Annis finds herself amidst a crew of royalty that all seemingly hate each other. Their goal is clear: Find Poseidon and demand the long overdue storm. But with monsters, a fallen goddess and a potent romance waiting in the alluring king that evades her, what price must a mermaid pay for her share of glory?Complete
Vesper-Small Fire, Bright Sky
Born of divine prophecy and infernal ritual, Vesper was never meant to be a person. She was raised by a cult as the Vessel-an empty thing to be filled, sacrificed, and controlled. When the rituals failed to awaken the godseed within her, they punished her instead: binding her wings, carving her skin, branding her spirit into silence. But Vesper does not break. She burns. Fleeing through a portal into the Feywild, she collapses into the clutches of Caspian, a cruelly beautiful Archfey who offers comfort in place of chains. In his Hollow Hall, Vesper is given gifts, sweet words, and a sense of safety-but only if she remains small, silent, and his. Slowly, subtly, Caspian drains her magic, her agency, and her fire, while binding her to Astra, a fellow captive forced to feel every violation as if it were his own. As Vesper grows closer to Astra-her only ally in a house of illusions-she begins to question the love she's being offered, and what it's costing her to accept it. But when she discovers the truth of her tether to Astra, the illusion shatters. She must choose: remain gilded and controlled... or bleed to reclaim what was stolen. Vesper's rebellion is not loud. It is not divine. It is hers. By the end, she is no longer a Vessel. No longer bound. She is fire-small, but rising. Astra, having severed his own chains, joins her not as a savior, but as a companion. Together, they flee the Hollow, reclaim their names, and choose to begin again. And when Caspian comes hunting... they will be ready.Complete

Veil Of Ash
The Bovi people have never been accepted. Marked by traits that set them apart from the rest of humanity, they are shunned, feared, and branded as monsters. Denied peace and survival, they are forced into the shadows, relying on acts of terror to strike back at a world that would see them erased. Their resistance, desperate and violent, ignites a war with a powerful neighboring empire. Into this storm steps Vespera, a young soldier fresh from training, loyal to her Emperor and determined to prove herself. But the battlefield is nothing like the order and honor she was promised. She finds herself caught in the blood-soaked middle ground, where assassinations, ambushes, and massacres are tools of survival-and no side's hands are clean. As the war escalates, Vespera is pulled deeper into the gray spaces between duty and morality. The Bovi fight for existence, the Empire for dominance, and she is forced to bear witness to the corruption of ideals she once believed unshakable. Her faith in the Emperor-revered as incorruptible and just, begins to waver with every shadowed truth revealed. Now, Vespera must choose: remain the loyal soldier and blind herself to the blood on her hands, or risk everything to confront the possibility that the true monster may not be the Bovi at all... but the very Empire she swore to protect.
