A collection of short stories (between 500-2000 words) set in a land covered in lakes left by the dance of two deities. Each story is a blade of grass in the marsh of Saltaire. They stand on their own but are all connected to those who look under the surface.
"In the last hour, while reorganising the bookshelves in the little office, Kai had played out thousands of ways to decline her. Foxtrot Slope wasn't a place for a wizard. Surely she'd understand." - A Sunset Tower
"A pinprick of light turned into a flash, and Calux, a deity of heat and light, came crashing down like a comet. An earthquake shook the fragile ground, their impact sending dust and sand flying for miles." - A Dance of Lakes

The Raven's Source
Ever since the village of Sundres became his "home," life faired mostly normal for Shej. And why wouldn't it? It was an unbalanced world in favor of the men and their Sources, a world where Taboos...the women born with magic...would be glared upon and outcast. Growing older, marrying a Taboo, and still wanting relief from the sins he carried from his life before Sundres, Shej sets out to find freedom for his soul and safety for both himself and his wife. Just before he gives up hope that a place of freedom could even really exist, he comes face to face with a person of his past and suddenly finds himself greeting trouble around each corner he turns. Will this person help bring peace to his soul by alleviating his sins, or by bringing his death? Can Shej really find freedom?

The Circles of Magic 🌳 (The Curse of Magic Book 1)
As a Cursed elf, one born with no magic, Edwyr has been forced to live among humans for over ten years. He doesn't mind his job of defending the town that he now lives in from beast attacks, and he gets along with most of the humans well enough, but he can never quite make the bitterness and resentment over being exiled go away. Life goes on as usual until a talented but inexperienced elf named Feyrith arrives and tells Edwyr that the High Elven Council wants him to help Feyrith on a quest. Despite his hatred towards the Council, Edwyr ends up agreeing, if only because he doubts Feyrith can survive a trip like this alone. The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away. Edwyr assumes that the only thing to worry about will be avoiding getting killed by the jungle wildlife, but the mission turns much more complicated when they stumble across a conspiracy that aims to change everything about the elven society. Including both of their destinies. --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words]Complete
