Valeria and Arlo couldn't be more different. She's a mercenary from a commoner family, while he's a Prince. Their paths cross in the most unexpected way, with Valeria being commissioned by the Athelaric Royal Family to save Prince Arlo from a vicious rebel group. Like most girls in her kingdom, Valeria used to have a crush on the Prince. But for the sake of her job, she has completely cast it aside- her sights set on the hefty reward for his rescue.
At least at first.
Valeria's journey is filled with many surprises- from slaying deadly monsters to experiencing new cultures. Along the way, she joins forces with fellow mercenary, Jae, reconnects with her childhood friend Mosi, and meets a mysterious stranger named Yue.
But as time goes on, Valeria realizes that her task may not be as simple as originally stated, and uncovers a plot that has much more than the Prince's life at stake. Valeria finds herself at the intersection of multiple international conflicts- specifically one between the mighty and righteous Light Elves, a mysterious group known as the Hidden, and a broken messiah. Things begin to escalate, and more and more, Valeria begins to realize she might have bitten off more than she can chew. Forget money and comfort- she has to find a way to get herself out of this mess!

Dragonfire: Celestia
In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized. In a crushing defeat, the Snake Kingdom was bested after nearly 8 years of conflict. After the war ended, Albedo Aria, a soldier from Celestia, was promoted to the rank of General. But she didn't feel like a hero. Suffering from severe PTSD, this story follows her as she tries to overcome the nightmares of war, and move on from the terrible things she was forced to do. She was raised to be a soldier, and joined the war from the age of eleven. As a soldier of Celestia, she could never, and still cannot ever disobey any orders. When war calls, she must answer. Whether she is truly willing to or not. But after four years without conflict, surely things couldn't reach that state again? Or perhaps that isn't the case. After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...Complete
The Cadre of Embers
•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women. Althea's life takes an exhilarating turn when she discovers her unique ability to manipulate the fourth dimension. Upon first use of this newfound power, she is sought out by a hidden society of individuals with diverse abilities of their own. Driven by curiosity and a thirst for purpose, Althea delves into this enigmatic world, leaving behind the mundane pursuit of suitors. Within the society's embrace, she learns the intricacies of her magical abilities and the vastness of their universe. Yet, Althea senses that profound secrets still elude her, mysteries that might hold the key to her ultimate destiny. "The Cadre of Embers" is a spellbinding tale of love, empowerment, self-discovery, and the latent potential within us all. For those who yearn to escape the confines of ordinary existence, this is a journey you won't want to miss.
