"It's not natural for women to fight."
She rolled her eyes.
"It's not natural for someone to be as stupid as he is tall, yet there you stand."
~Leigh Bardugo
Valeska Elsher, Princess of the Northern Empire. She's an unaccepted warrior. She's strong, independent and unwavering. She has taught herself secretly, how to fight and protect others. Yet she has never come to a point of taking someone's life
Banished from her own home, by her own family member, who shall she trust? In the end, should she even have trust?
Left heartbroken and betrayed. Yet what's keeping her away from giving up? How far is she willing to commit in order to set herself as equal?
She flows like a river, but stands like lioness. She is the Queen of her own jungle.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete
Elemental Witch: Child of the Earth (Part I)
A thousand years ago humans landed on the shores of Clairval, seeking refuge from wars, famines and disaster and forged an uneasy truce with the wild Feysha. No one in the Kingdom of Clairval knows why the Feysha allowed humans to settle along the perimeter of the island, and the only proof that the Feysha even exist are the impassible Wilds in the centre of the island. Verana is about to change that. Feysha but more, she is sent from the Wild to warn the humans that darkness is coming for their island and remind them of the oath both parties swore to protect Clairval from what was to come. There are other powers, other kingdoms across the seas; some of them contain answers long hidden and some of them contain the enemies Verana was born to fight against, but she'll have to forge a truce not seen for a millennia before she can save the world. Violence and fighting. Cover by @whiskeyjanedoe ( part one of book one )Complete

Red Moon
Skye had spent her entire life avoiding men. Diagnosed with a rare psychosomatic condition triggered by male presence, she had carefully built a world where they didn't exist, attending an all-girls school, surrounding herself only with women, and rejecting the idea that men could ever be anything but untrustworthy. Her father's betrayal had proven that to her long ago. But one night changes everything. Forced to attend a bachelorette party, Skye steps into a bar filled with men for the first time in years. The moment they surround her, her body succumbs to the overwhelming sickness, and she collapses. When she opens her eyes again, she is no longer Skye. She has been reborn as Princess Flanna Caera Lunae Radbourne, the feared Flame Princess of the Southern Empire, a world where women rule, and men serve. In this matriarchal empire, the roles of power are reversed: Empresses command vast armies, princesses wield swords, and men exist solely to obey their liege ladies. Flanna is no exception. Known as the Crimson Warrior, she is ruthless, cunning, and infamous for both her victories on the battlefield and the size of her harem. But Skye is still Skye. The idea of men obeying her, of being hers to command, is more terrifying than enticing. As she struggles to reconcile her past trauma with her new reality, she is thrown into a battle for the throne. The empire demands a ruler, and all princesses are contenders, Flanna included. If she does not fight for the crown, she will become a pawn in someone else's game. With enemies lurking in the shadows, suitors vying for her favor, and her own mind waging war against her, Skye must decide: Will she embrace the power of Flanna and take the throne, or will her past fears consume her before she gets the chance?
