Dahlia has lived in our universe as an immortal for centuries. She has a soft spot for this universe - all the good and all the bad - and has made the best of an admittedly bad situation. Her universe? It...went through some things, but who cares, when ours is so inviting? The thing about peace and tranquility is that it's always fleeting, and when her former best friend is murdered in cold blood, Dahlia will put her own life - and that of a very unwilling, broody sidekick - at risk to solve a murder that should never have been possible in the first place.

The Aeon Below
the Aeon Below Deep beneath the frozen ribs of the mountain lies the Cave of the Dead, where light dies and the air itself hums with mourning. Those who enter rarely return sane...if they return at all. Desperate to escape the relatives bleeding her dry, Dahlia joins an expedition into its depths, hoping to earn enough money to buy her freedom. Instead, she reaches the cave's final chamber: a vast golden cathedral carved for forgotten gods, where a corpse stands vigil before a black monolith that thinks. He calls himself Caelus. Once a god, now fallen, Caelus has spent centuries bound as the barrier between the living world and the underworld. When Dahlia accidentally touches the Black Salt Stone that anchors him to his prison, she forges a tether between their minds. Now his voice follows her everywhere...ancient, mocking, impossible to silence. For the first time in hundreds of years, Caelus is no longer alone. For the first time in Dahlia's life, someone listens. But Caelus's interest in her isn't kindness. To awaken the body preserved beneath the mountain and break free of his prison, he must consume the soul of the woman bound to him. Dahlia should be nothing more than a means to an end. Yet her stubborn humor, relentless greed, and refusal to yield begin to unravel something within him...something dangerously close to humanity. As the dead whisper through the labyrinth below and ancient truths claw their way to the surface, Dahlia faces an impossible choice: trust the god destined to devour her, or destroy the only being who has ever truly understood her. After all, the most dangerous thing in the Cave of the Dead isn't what waits in the darkness. It's the voice that knows exactly how to reach her heart. ~~~🦋 Early draft, being revised for publication elsewhere.

Resorted, Reclaimed, Reborn
Kidnapped. Lied to. Broken. They called him Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. But beneath the scar and the fame was a stolen child-Hadrian Sirius Lupin-Black, born of wolves and stars, hidden by blood magic and raised to die by a man the world still trusts. When a violent surge of magic unlocks his long-dormant creature inheritance, Hadrian escapes Privet Drive and discovers everything he should have had-his true name, his true family, and the powerful legacy Dumbledore tried to bury. He is half-Fae, half-Werewolf, and fully done being anyone's pawn. Reuniting with his real parents, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, and guided by the once-feared but redeemed Tom Riddle, Hadrian begins to reshape a broken world. The Ministry's sudden Hogwarts Resorting Initiative only fans the flames-because soulmates are awakening, houses are colliding, and the Slytherins are far more than they seemed. 🖤 Soulmate bonds ignite by scent, not scars. 🐺 Werewolves, Veela, Elves, and Fae rise from the shadows. 📰 Secrets unravel in headlines. ⚖️ Dumbledore's lies fall like dominoes. 🔥 And the boy raised as a weapon becomes a king in his own right.Complete
