Midnight Wings
"There's no greater cause to me, no battle more worth fighting, than the one I fight to remain by your side." "Since when were you a poet?" "Oh shut it would you? I'm trying to be romantic here." ----~---- Sorra has cheated death more than a few too many times. In truth, his cling to life and purpose is all but gone. Betrayed, left alone, forgotten about, and left for dead. It's the same story over and over - told in two worlds, three bodies, and four lives. With the demons relighting an age-old war, citizens in terror, tyranny amok in the guilds and the nations that hold them, and everybody wanting their own slice of the action, chaos is becoming the new standard. Of course, Sorra is trapped in a mountain cave network, so these are the least of his worries. But when he finds someone with a story much like his, tossed aside by those she trusted the most, he finds a new purpose in life: revenge, and protecting his sworn ally until death do them part. Perhaps the key to order in the world's madness is a drunken demon with an unquenchable thirst for blood, but that's only IF he hates the world less than he wants there to be a world left for him to hate.

Convinced the man is her biological father, she tracks him down and learns more than she bargains for. Not only is he her father, but a vampire, which means she'll be coming into her fangs any day. But complications arise when he also explains her witchy mother stole the heart of an African goddess, enabling her life. Armed with a reincarnated bestie and a ruggedly strict, but dashing Guardian, Sparrow is forced on the run as every supernatural overlord seeks to take the goddess's heart for themselves. The only way to escape this nightmare is to return what her mother stole...her very heart. But that means Sparrow will have to remain a drab and medicated vampire and relinquish her divinely witch nature to the Orisha. Each time she casts a spell, Sparrow tastes her newfound abilities and it's secretly delicious. It isn't long before she fears becoming just like the monsters who are chasing after her heart. Will she sacrifice her ancient power to restore balance? Or will magic consume her good intentions the same way it did her mother?Complete
The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
