The Elemental Book 1: Earth (***UNDER SEVERE EDITING***)
Ariana Kingsley never was your typical girl. She was a girl who loved to climb, swim, and have fun. Your typical tomboy. All she's ever wanted is to see her mom again (who died in a car crash when she was 6 years old), get away from her abusive father Marcus, and have an adventure. Finally one day, her wish comes true. Ariana and her best friends, Jake Spencer and Brendon Davis, are visiting an art gallery when odd things start to happen. Then, they're attacked at school, and their English teacher tells them surprising information: they're all children of the greek gods. But what's worse, Ariana is the Elemental-a child of 2 gods who can control the elements-and she isn't supposed to exist.

With danger at every turn, they must fight for their lives, and possibly for each other. ***This book series is under editing to make it better since I wrote this when I was twelve/thirteen so now I'm making it better.

Shadows Under the Crown
Tarus was never meant to live. Cursed at birth, he was born without magic-a death sentence in a world where magic means everything. His only saving grace was a divine blessing from Alios, the God of Healing, granting him immortality and the ability to heal any wound. But what should have been a gift became a curse, draining his very life force instead of restoring it. As he wishes to Uncover the truth. His path collides with hers-the daughter of the man who sits on the throne. Sharp-witted and bound by duty, she upholds her father's rule, unaware of the bloody past that secured his power. She doesn't know who Tarus really is. And neither does the king. Yet, despite the secrets and the lies, an undeniable tension grows between them-an unspoken connection neither can explain. But in a world where power is everything, and betrayal lurks in every shadow, what happens when the truth finally comes to light? A tale of magic, betrayal, divine power, and a love neither of them can afford. The balance of life and death rests in the hands of a reaper who was never meant to exist. Are you ready to uncover the truth?
The Labyrinth Through Camelot | {COMPLETED}
"So if we don't get there soon, we lose, right? We lose Merlin and Hera will end the world?" "Camelot will end, Greece will end... Even your own world will be gone." 'You knights are our only hope.' Luna's signing really sold it. If they didn't stop Hera soon, the whole world would end. "Alright. What do we have to do?" ********** As far as the world knows, Camelot and ancient Greece never conflicted. Never associated, never spoke, never interacted. In fact, it would be safe to say that the two worlds didn't even exist at the same time. Until they do. An untold story that changes every story you've ever known. The Knights of Camelot rule as kings and queens, the first since the death of the legendary King Arthur. Sharing the duties among the six of them and under the guidance of the warlock, Merlin, these teenagers travel between Camelot and the modern world, the first time travelers, to protect the land they've adopted as their own. The Goddlets are used to living in a world of their own. As the children of the gods, they are used to getting away with whatever they want. Not used to many changes in their quiet world, they aren't prepared for what comes next. When the Knights and the Goddlets are called together on a quest to save Merlin from the clutches of Hera, the queen of the Greek gods, two very different worlds collide in a race against the clock to save the world. With limited time at their hands and everything they know and love at stake, the Knights and the Goddlets team up to put an end to Hera's destructive reign. The worlds of Camelot and ancient Greece collide in this action-packed book. Classic characters meet new faces in a complete retelling of universes people both know and love. {Entered in the Open Novella Contest under prompt 83: "This assignment requires us to act like adults. I have never been more stressed."}Complete
