Having spent half her life helping her mother run her laundry shop and the other half in the local library, Nancy knows what she wants, and it is not a life spent looking for the perfect suitor.

Warning: Contains occasional (non-graphic) dark themes that some may find upsetting. --- Gods, demons, and heroes. Typical MMO fare-or so I thought.

Chosen by the gods of Jeriskyr and betrayed by my own, I found out that this virtual world is all too real. Now, I must choose between my own people and a cocky incubus. It should be an easy decision, yet I find my loyalties torn between the tyrannical and backwards Issradian Empire, or the oppressed demon kingdom, Nabyr-zahn. To embrace injustice or betray my own race. Or maybe I'll just burn it all down.Complete
Goda's Slave (Lesbian, Dystopia, LGBT Fantasy)
The daughter of a wealthy baron, Kanna Rava has enjoyed privilege far beyond that of most of her impoverished countrymen. Torn abruptly from that life by a twist of fate--and politics--she finds herself sold into slavery by the central government and thrust into the hands of Goda Brahm, the cold and mysterious woman who is tasked with escorting her to her new master. Barely over the culture shock of being dragged to the other side of the continent, into a world where women marry other women and a class of priestesses are worshiped like gods, Kanna slowly discovers both the hidden conspiracy that led to her enslavement and the terrible secret that lies behind Goda's icy demeanor. An allegory about free will, resisting fate, and being an outsider. (This description is for the Wattpad version of the story.
