Rowan Evergreen is an Irdisch Witch and able to see and manipulate the life energy of everything around her. As she chooses to follow the Irdisch credo to do no harm to any living creature she makes herself vulnerable to the hunters who would seek to exploit her gifts, or worse, consume her life force.
She moves to the country village of Sheriton in Washington State USA for what she thinks will be just another temporary stay in a block of others - Irdisch Witches never linger for long. However her plans are turned on their head when she meets a host of unusual characters, some of which are other like her.
Adam is the enigmatic book shop owner with a friendly face but a secret steely side. Connor is a Changeling and his Irish charm and wolfish smile win Rowan over enough to break her usual rules. Marrick and Ava are the otherworldly Vaenwyn, ageless creatures capable of opening Rowan's eyes to more of her Witch history than she could ever have imagined.
Drawn into the happenings of the Changeling pack, most of which are out for her blood, Rowan tries to navigate new friendships, ancient alliances and a new way of living. As if that weren't complicated enough, Rowan stumbles across a vile enemy unlike anything she has ever encountered - one that will stop at nothing to hunt her down and drain her life force, inch by slow inch.
Life in the remote village turns out to be anything but simple and Rowan is forced to forgo her life of reclusive solitude in favour of one filled with people, adventures and danger.

Rowans Choice
Completed ✨👸🏼 Born to the fairy elite, the royal line, next in line to take the crown, a queen to be announced on her next birthday, with her royal responsibilities and...one choice... only one... everything else has always been decided for her. "Who has Princess Rowan chosen to be her eternal mate?" A question, oh a question, It was already whittled down by the draw upon her birth, a family name picked at random, to keep this fairy line fair, hardly fair to the one picking, to do so from such a small pool of options. Luckily fairy families were large but as Rowan searched the faces in front of her, five brothers... all handsome, all rather eager to take the beautiful Princess's hand... it was the sister, stood to the left, observing, that caught Rowans eye and if she only got this one choice then it was clear. She had read the rules, many, many times, they clearly state to pick from the chosen families kin, sixteen years and over only, nothing on the gender, not that it had ever been done before but rules were rules and Rowan smirked as she let her choice roll over her tongue. She would choose the one thing her father would be most furious about but couldn't change, her choice, and no other fairy, king or not could change it. "Andromeda" she would announce, finger flexed toward her, and the entire kingdom would erupt in the great hall with shock, as Andromeda of the sky line, was pushed forward by her mother into the mix with her brothers. "Rowan" her father would curse "if you place that ring on her finger your line has ended... please rethink your choice" But Rowan didn't care... and Andy had called out to her long before now, the beautiful brunette with striking green eyes, a daring smile and a powerful magic that Rowan had long admired. And after all... it was Rowans choice... to hell with the rules. *I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION FOR THIS BOOK TO BE COPIED, OR ADAPTED ON THIS PLATFORM, OR ANY OTHER, BY ANYONE ELSE* *Completed February 2023*Complete

WitchHunter ✔️
A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?Complete

The addition of these entities make the story more exciting as I create interesting, exciting scenarios for the main character to have to overcome. ***This story contains SPOILERS for It: Chapter 2!
