Nora stubbornly went out west to make a name for herself even if it was just her pin name. She quickly learned the harsh realities for women in the wild west. She had precious things taken from her, her pride destroyed, and her heart broken. She has yet to give up though as she learns she had it easy growing up and that her gift can be controlled and used for her gain. But that makes it all the more dangerous out here in the West as more than just outlaws are greedy.
She finds mythical beings, hidden places, and outlandish stories. All the while she tries not to fall in love with the men that she meets. She still wishes to wander freely and not be tied down to anyone but herself. Sometimes, though, it is hard to get them to let go or her to walk away.
Main focus is her travels and the stories she uncovers, but their is a bit I romance, smex and stubbornness.

Blood Bound, Bone Deep
Feyra has always known that her magic comes at a cost. Every time she heals, she takes the wound into herself-burning it into her skin, into her bones, into the scar over her heart that never truly fades. But pain is a small price to pay to protect the people she loves. Especially Mila-her best friend, her constant, her heart-sister. At the Academy, students train to bond with wyverns, master ancient magic, and survive the politics of bloodlines and power. But when Mila's shapeshifting demon heritage spirals out of control during a training trial, Feyra is forced to push her power further than she ever has before-nearly losing her life to pull Mila back from the brink. Now recovery is slow, the pain is unrelenting... and everyone has questions. Including Zeraph-the new third-year leader with a reputation sharp enough to cut. Stoic, disciplined, and carved from controlled fire, he believes Feyra's sacrifice was reckless. She believes he doesn't understand what loyalty means. And Zero-her closest friend and constant defender-has no intention of letting Zeraph dictate anything. But Feyra's scars are changing. Mila's demon forms grow harder to control. And deep beneath the school, in the old wyvern tunnels, something ancient has begun to stir-responding to Feyra's mark... and to the bond between them. Some magic binds. Some magic burns. Some magic was never meant to exist. And the price of saving each other may be becoming the very thing everyone fears.
