To save the world, Mage Aria sacrificed herself, becoming trapped with the personification of Darkness within an impenetrable tomb of rock and magic. But she had not realized how much of a hell that would be.

Dreams of deep despair haunted Tomas, a blacksmith with no apparent magic, where a wounded soul cried out from her torment, begging for mercy. Heartbroken for the dreamer, he sets out on an uncertain quest to free her. But there were those in power who did not want the dreamer freed, lest it also released the Darkness. Further, the link between Tomas and the dreamer was a kind of Darkness itself, one that would make him a fugitive in his own land.

She felt his surprise. She felt his light extinguish as he died. Then there was nothing. Nothing. Her head was swimming like it was underwater. She couldn't move. She couldn't move. Her vision blurred, a man was speaking but she couldn't hear his words. She felt the sword in her chest, but it wasn't there. He killed him. He killed him. Breathe. Did she stop? Breathe. The man, she could hear him speaking. What was he saying? Breathe. She inhaled a deep breath. And another. Then another. Things started to clear. "Breathe. That's right," the warrior coaxed. She started to take another settling breath, and his face came more into focus. The first thing she noticed was his piercing green eyes. She had never seen eyes quite like that before. She stared into them, mesmerized. He mimicked a breath and she took it with him. She was coming back. "I will not hurt you," the man kneeling before her promised. Anna knew better than to believe him. What was it he had said? Oh. "You...you said...you said 'no witnesses'." She was shaking violently. She took another deep breath. "Ah, " he uttered in acknowledgment. "You are not a witness, you are the treasure

UPDATE: this book is getting published! While I'd love to keep the first draft fully on here, it's very different than the soon-to-be-published version (don't get me started on how problematic the first draft was). And by different, I mean different title, different synopsis and a lot of scenes have been either redacted or added. If you'd like to know more, I have frequent updates on my IG at @author_linguisticsaddict They say opposites attract. But that wasn't the case for Layla and Jaxon. BEFORE Both bear the deep scars of despair, and for that, they were unknowingly drawn to each other. After surviving a freak accident, Layla struggles to keep up with life and high school and move past the grief. Even though the cut ties, sleepless nights, and repeated blame almost makes it impossible. Until she meets Jaxon, someone who might just make life worth living again. But how can they find happiness with each other when they are both broken beyond repair? AFTER She will never see him again. After seizing a chance to escape from her past, Layla knows she's not going to make the same mistake she did three years ago. She's determined to move on from what happened, stay hidden from those in her past, and find happiness again. But like all things, that's easier said than done. And when the last person she expects collides into her life, it becomes near impossible. ººººººººººººººººº She doesn't believe in serendipity. He refuses to give up. Maybe, they can light up each other's world. And keep it from burning. **Book 1 of the Serendipity trilogy** - rated mature due to some themes on depression, addiction, and the sexually mature parts (those parts are marked) - Draft 1 completed: 11/12/21 {Word Count: 113, 000 - 114, 000 }

In a world held together by ancient magic, one girl's forbidden power could be the key to everything-or the catalyst for its destruction. Fourteen-year-old Thea Presten has never left her secluded ranch, let alone practiced Alchemy. But beneath Bergen, Norway, in the hidden halls of Blackthorn and Burtree, she's about to discover a gift that defies the very codes of magic. As war looms between the Keeper's Animarum and the Shadow Alchemists, Thea must learn to harness her dangerous abilities in secret. Thrust into a world of Conversion Circles and Alchemical beasts, Thea realizes she's been unknowingly breaking the laws of Alchemy her entire life. As she struggles to keep her powers hidden, she finds unexpected friendship with two fellow Spectrum Scholars. But with the Code Keeper and Code Breaker both potentially interested in her abilities, Thea must decide who-if anyone-she can trust. The Code Keeper has manipulated every aspect of Thea's life, pushing her towards a destiny she never chose. As global battles rage and the Earth itself seems to rebel, Thea's decisions could tip the balance of power. The Shadow Faction's leader would stop at nothing to possess her gift, while the Keeper sees her as the key to saving the world-but at what cost? Will Thea's reckless quest for control over her own life unleash a power that could mend their fractured world-or shatter it beyond repair? ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ This book is a preview of the Amazon exclusive.
