****
Lannie Brackenbury never thought she would be sent on a dangerous quest to save the world. But after she discovered her destiny as a Harbinger, that idea took a drastic twist. Bestowed with abilities that she is still learning to use, Lannie is sent on a journey that will take her across Etheia, where she must negotiate a peace treaty between the magical kingdom of Eremith and the human kingdom of Nor to break the vicious cycle of slavery.
But making peace in the world of Etheia is not as easy as it seems.
Therin, the bloodthirsty Drakain that ruined Lannie's life, is still moving in the shadows, convincing the world to doubt the existence of the Harbingers. And when a terrifying beast cloaked in darkness attacks Lannie, she realizes that defeating Therin is the least of her worries. Humans and magical creatures are on the brink of another war. This time, it is far more dangerous than Lannie could ever have imagined. There is a dark force at work that is bent on destroying not only Nor, but Eremith as well.
And it will take everything that Lannie has to stop it.

The Queen and the Quisling
CHRONICLES OF CROWN AND CASUALTY BOOK 1- The princess is her parent's pride and joy. This quality will forever be reflected in her name, which can literally be translated to "King's Victory". Unfortunately, the "Victory" referred to in her name has always winded down to her compliance to everyone's wishes but her own, and, of course, her beauty; seen by everyone as one of the princess' dominant traits. She is the spitting image of her beloved mother, with her long, caramel colored hair that cascades in soft ringlets down to the small of her back and her blue eyes that remind everyone who looks into them of the beautiful ocean her palace sits near, who's frothy waves lap at the warm, golden sand. Yes, the princess is always told her eyes were a blessing given to her by the gods, but she knows that whenever her father looks into them, all he'll see is the woman he once loved who was taken from him too soon, and not, in fact, his beautiful daughter that was so lovingly left behind for him. She knows that because of his grief, she will forever be trapped inside the luxurious walls of the palace she grew up in. So no, she doesn't see her eyes as a blessing. In fact, she sees them as a curse, and she's accepted her fate, never once imagining that it could change. Little did she know, fate is only a suggestion.Complete

To Marry a Dragon
||WATTY 2021 SHORTLIST|| Ex-Princess-Bride wants to marry her beloved Dragon, but when a curse threatens their happily ever after, they are left racing against time to break the spell before it breaks their hearts. *** Elvira, a princess who gave up her rights to the crown to go on adventures and do good, falls in love with a dragon knight Ferrante. Alas, copious amounts of lightning bolts threaten to keep Elvira and Ferrante apart forever, to protect the rights of her long-forgotten, dead-beat betrothed. Who knew that magic-sealed marriage contracts don't have an expiration date when the royals are involved? With romance on the line, Elvira immediately sets out in search of her betrothed to wed him, bed him and be done with him. It would have been simple, except her runaway prince had since become a highway robber and nobody knows where he might be hiding. Ferrante, infuriated with Elvira's quest to save their nuptials, takes on the ancient Arcane Guild to annul the contract. More brawn than brains, the fine print is not his forte, and the dangers of sparring with nimble minds are far greater than he had seen in his nightmares. Meanwhile, a sinister puppet-master also has designs on Elvira... So, the race to the altar is on! Age range I think is NA to adult, but it's smut-free. If you see this book on any other site, they'd stolen it. If they're charging you for it, this is the best and free version. Please read it on W-A-T-T-pad. First Published: April 29, 2020Complete
The Domestic Dragon
[COMPLETE] [[**Sequel, The Hybrid Harold, is up!**]] The first generation past the war has settled and the result is something no one from the past would recognize. In the United Human Alliance, the human run country that takes up much of the land mass that used to be the United States, magical children are taken from their parents and sent to boarding school at a young age. What provides humanity with safety from 'volatile' magical beings separates parents from their children and young adults from their culture. Alenia Paetzold is the prime example of what the UHA has created. A domestic dragon. That's why they never expect her to find her wings and burn the cage she is held in to the ground. Getting there, however, takes a prophecy, a lot of lies, and overwhelming love. "For The War Is Lost if They Can Not Win Their Child's Life Lost for Their Sin" ***OMG IT GOT TO NUMBER 1 IN MATRIARCHY!*** ***AND #4 IN FANTASY-ROMANCE!*** Trigger Warnings: Death.
