Terrasen has rarely known a moment of peace since it reclaimed its freedom. Following a brief battle with the citizens of Arcelia, a new threat has emerged. A group calling themselves the Revolutionists has formed and are vowing to destroy monarchies and topple kingdoms around the world. They have already launched numerous deadly and devastating attacks against unsuspecting settlements across Terrasen, and are becoming more ambitious with each passing day. 

To prepare for the coming war, the Bane has accepted many new recruits who are working hard to prepare themselves. Vaughan, the Osprey of Doranelle, has been tasked with aiding in the training of the new recruits, but it may be harder than anticipated. One young Fae, Luciana Alburn, is struggling to earn her place in the ranks of the Bane. If Vaughan can't find a way to help her, she will be forced to leave, and he will lose someone more precious than he may ever know.

[THIS STORY WILL BE TAKEN DOWN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2024] She's the reason the heart of my family had been torn apart. Because that night, I'd unwittingly chosen her. Now she's my prey. Nelle:- Cursed by a terrifying dark power, I'm a secret hidden in plain sight and trapped on my family estate, hardly leaving its gated confines. For no one is permitted to wield magic not approved by those we serve-the Horned Gods. And if my secret is discovered, everyone I love will die. But, of late, I barely can control the darkness writhing beneath my flesh. I desperately need to unearth its secrets, which means escaping my family home to seek answers to dangerous questions from a monster. The only person I can turn to for help is Graysen Crowther-a ruthless enforcer and, ugh, my jerk-of-a-fiancé. Of course, there's always a catch with Graysen. This time, he desires a kiss. But that one kiss awakes something more dangerous than desire and more mysterious than even the magic of the insidious marriage contract that binds us together. Graysen:- I'm the one entrusted by my family to uncover the depths of Nelle's sinister secret. And worse, our mutual loathing and hatred for our arranged union runs alongside an undeniable attraction. Yet, time is running out fast. I'm recklessly trying to figure out what she is, and far more irritating, why that strange hyperawareness has always existed between us. Threats sweep in from all sides. Even her own family needs her dead to shield themselves from the Horned Gods' wrath. Because while I'm hunting Nelle, something else is hunting her too. And there's no way in Nine Hells I'll allow her to be stolen. ['Of Crows and Thorns' is an epic saga that belongs to Nelle and Miss Catt. We alternate between these two leads, along with the Crowther brothers. All the novels, no matter who the leads are or what timeline they occur, drive the dire dilemma of Nelle's storyline.] Cover Design by Ren Tachibana

(Part 1/3 of Discordant Note) (Part 2: Discordant Note: Crescendo | TBATE) Lady Dawn expected to die. After casting her soul to the wind, taking a one-in-a-million chance to escape the wretched dungeons of Taegrin Caelum, the once-caged songbird of the Asclepius wishes nothing more than to find her Hearth and warn them of the coming danger. Instead, she's found herself a shade, anchored to a young man who knows far too much-and with far less hope than she'd started with. Toren Daen, for his part, only wanted to make it home safely. Now he's in a world taken straight from the page, questioning what is real and what is fiction, and scrambling to make something worthwhile. And with his foresight, there's only one way that Toren can see to keep this new world safe: prevent the descent of the Legacy. But those in power will not make it easy: Nico Sever is in a league of power all on his own, and Arthur Leywin bears the burden of Fate a continent away. In this familiar-yet-not world of mana, monsters, and looming deities, any misstep along the roads of Alacrya and the High Sovereign's Dominion could lead to a Fate worse than death. But what is death to a phoenix? With a burning secret in his mana core, knowledge of the future, and a maelstrom of fears and questions, Toren might just survive to be more than what Lady Dawn expected him to be. He might just survive to waylay the encroaching tide of war and death in the proxy war between raging asura clans. More than all of that, he might just live.
