The witch's relay..
Nearly two-hundred years ago, the great witch hunts began, resulting in a near-extermination of everything magic. Had it not been for the few passing on their teachings in secret, the art would've been all but lost. The people who once held the power to topple entire kingdoms, are now gone and forgotten.
But, of course, the story doesn't end there.
When Kade Adler, a poor adventurer, stumbles upon the witch of Darkwood Mound, Heather the enchantress, he is forced to make an important decision. Should he forfeit his memories, or become a mage himself and become another link in the witch's relay?
I think we all know what answer makes for the better story.

A Time Traveling Fairytale
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries. But do not worry, fate loves a rebel and has something magical stored for our sarcastic heroine. Time travel. An adventure in the 16th century was not something our main character had in mind, but when her path is built with music and joy, it can't be that bad, right? Oh, who am I kidding. . . At first glance, it seemed to be the perfect fairytale for our main character; being able to experience the medieval time and be surrounded by enchantment wherever she went. She even meets a monk, blessed with the gift of music, who shares her passion and is willing to teach Elena the secrets of the piano. It's perfect. But it was only the tip of the iceberg. Elena's piece of tranquility is broken when she stumbles into another mess, leaving her caged and alone in the forest. Fortunately for our heroine, a prince crosses her path, helping her in her need. One might see this as the Universe's way for entertainment, or the fate's bizarre tactics to bring people together. Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom. Before anyone knows what's even happening, they're caught in the middle of it all; like a cat trapped in a yarn. After all, even the stone you trip on is a part of your destiny. What happens when the Universe, and basically everything between hell and heaven, is against you? Simple: it's a journey filled with unforgettable events. So buckle up, folks, because you are in for a ride of pirates, songs, chases, jokes, and a broken soul. After all, there is no flying from fate.Concluida

The lost princess is the only one to escape but when magic wielders threaten war on the home she has fled, Maylis must choose between freedom and duty. There is a spell that could end the conflict but will her conscience allow her to sacrifice so much? Complete at 62,690 words Background: I was bored and lonely, studying Creative Writing at university (2011-2014). I became obsessed with Lord of the Rings and wanted to create my own fantasy world. It's a lot smaller in scale, but maybe one day, I will revisit this and make it BIGGER.Concluida
Whispers of Aethelred
In a world divided, two kinds of students walk the halls of the great Academy. The Luminaries-blessed with powers, marked by magic. And the Unmarked-ordinary, powerless, bound by rules they did not make. The Unmarked are forbidden to leave, prisoners until the hidden goal is fulfilled. None question it. None dare rebel. Until Xanthine arrives. She is reckless, loud, and far too curious for her own good. She is reckless where others are quiet, foolish where others are careful. Trouble finds her easily-and so do the whispers. Secrets buried beneath the Academy begin to rise, pulling her toward truths long erased from history. They say the past is dead. But the Whispers of Aethelred are stirring again. And once awakened, they cannot be silenced. Will she dare to rebel to unfold the truth behind the all whispers of Aethelred? "Hear us"
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.
A Tale of Traitors
Willow never had leaders in her life, so she became her own. She never had anyone to protect her loved ones, so she took on that role, too. Before she knew it, she was leading a universal rebellion against a conjuring sorcerer. She must keep her secret, at whatever cost, or their worlds are lost. The problem is, she can't remember that secret anymore. She can't remember who she can trust. She can't remember her own name. It's up to her now to be brave, to discover who she is, and to save her world in the process. A demented assassin has been trailing her ever since she left her failed safe house, and seven powerful spirits have been let loose to bring her in. But what can an elf as powerless as her do in the face of danger?Concluida
The Beastkeeper's Redemption
Tiffany Cotton was not who she said she was. The peculiar woman had shown up in Ravensfield one night, wielding a pistol with a familiarity that odd, run-of-the-mill spinsters shouldn't know how to do. She was bizarrely intelligent, wore gowns that were two sizes too big for her, and a smile that transformed her face. Kaede C'Lainn had a difficult time noticing anything anymore since he drank of a liquor that had been tainted with an enchantment, forcing his hand in an act that riddled him with guilt. But he noticed Miss Cotton. Particularly how she had the penchant to show up in places that she shouldn't be. There was something about her that spiked his intrigue... and suspicions. And after the last bout of recklessness on his part, he was not about the make the same mistake twice. He believed Miss Cotton to be part of a syndicate to end his brethren's life, and Kaede wouldn't allow that to happen again. Even if it meant apprehending the one woman whose kiss put all his broken pieces back together again in a world that rejected his kind. This is a fantasy-historical-romance with a lot of steam and a lot of romance! FMC is motivated to do some serious butt-kicking and MMC has a tail... :)Concluida
