Ongoing, First published Feb 03, 2015
The world was in ruin, no elf or creature escaped, except for a select group. Darkness covered the surface, nowhere was safe. So they moved underground.

Over a hundred years have passed and no one remembers what the surface was like, some even go so far to suggest it doesn't exist. All that they know is the Cave. But things start happening, people go missing and turn up in the Lakes with their Gems ripped from their chests. Every elf is born with a Gem, it is their heart and soul, no one can live with it removed. Or so they thought.

Young Naita is no one special, but when she falls into an unmarked tunnel she discovers that everything might not be as it appears, that, maybe, even the stories of their past might be a facade. Only her best friend Kenzi believes her and together they have to find answers before it's too late.

In the heart of the ancient Amazon, two siblings are bound by a magical legacy and a solemn vow. Sam, the young heir to the Dark Wolf Pack, is his sister's sworn shield. Luna, blessed with the vast, untamed power of the rainforest itself, is his reason for living. But their world is shattered in a single night of betrayal when Sam's body is stolen by his master, the dark magician Lightning, and forced to commit an unspeakable act that destroys their family and leaves Luna for dead. Years later, Luna lives a fractured life in Ireland, hiding her magic and healing her trauma with the help of a found family of fellow shifters-a leopard, a snake, a rabbit, and a mysterious crocodile bodyguard named Luca, who carries a secret connection to her past. Just as she begins to trust and love again, a storm from her past returns. Sam, scarred in body and soul from years of torture and imprisonment, risks everything to escape and clear his name. He must confront his former master in a final, magical duel to prove his innocence to the sister who believes he betrayed her. But just as they reclaim their bond, a more insidious enemy strikes from within: a terminal illness. This is a story of fierce love that defies darkness, of a brother and sister fighting to rewrite a tragic destiny. It's a tale where ancient magic clashes in epic battles, but the most profound war is fought against a fate that threatens to steal their future before it even begins. "Eclipse of the Dark Wolf" is an unforgettable saga of magic, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds of family, asking a heartbreaking question: How do you hold on to light when the universe itself seems determined to extinguish it?

Betrayed. Poisoned. Left for dead. Kenna's life shatters in a single, blood-soaked evening. What was supposed to be an innocent gathering around the fire turns into a brutal act of treachery as her closest friends-people she trusted with her life-tear everything away from her. Poison laces her veins, a blade slashes through her sister's throat, and the last thing Kenna remembers is the taste of blood and the coldness of betrayal. But death isn't the end. When she awakens, gasping for breath and clawing her way back from oblivion, she finds herself in the company of three peculiar students and a powerful witch. Confused but alive, Kenna learns that she's been touched by something dark and ancient-something that shouldn't be possible. Her sister, however, remains buried by the lake, a reminder of what was stolen from her. Determined to survive, Kenna forms an uneasy alliance with the witch and her students, seeking refuge in their strange world of hidden magic and forbidden secrets. But vengeance is never far from her mind. As she learns to harness her newfound abilities, whispers of necromancy swirl around her existence, making her both feared and hunted. Kenna's resurrection is not just a fluke-it's a sign. There are forces at work, shadows creeping from the edges of the world that threaten everything she knows. And if she's going to get her revenge, she'll need to embrace the darkness simmering within her. Her enemies thought they buried her. They were wrong. The girl they tried to kill is back, and this time, she won't fall so easily. In a world where loyalty is fragile and power is everything, Kenna must decide: cling to her past, or forge a new destiny from the ashes of betrayal.

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.
