"My Name is Aella Vanderlaan, and I'll write my story in the blood of the Empire."
Adbern. A country destroyed by past wars and under the rule of a corrupt power. Once buzzing towns now inhabited by rebel groups and rich men who can pay for their protection. The past citizens fled to the uncharted parts of the empire for a good reason.
Aella Vanderlaan, a nineteen year old girl is one of those who fled. Living with her father, the last of her kin, in an uncharted forest inhabited by fearsome clans, Aella is part of the Silent Foot Clan. Trained to the highest level, she is an expert when it comes to killing, particularly with a bow. Her profession is one of the oldest. Death.
When a client from the North sends for her assistance, Aella doesn't think much of it. Until she finds out whose life she must end and what the consequences are of not completing her task, and what will happen if she does.
Distracting her is the boy she loves. She risks putting him in danger with each step towards her target, along with the rest of her clan.
Struggling with her past, Aella is haunted with her mother's death and the struggle of loving someone when you deal in the fine art of death.
The outlook is foul, the omens are grim. How long does it take for heart to rule over head?

Heart
Her name was Gabriella Quintanilla. She was a senior in high school during this time. She had the looks, all the boys, the popularity, the clothes, and even the grades. And in no way was she ignorant of any of these things--quite the opposite. She knew that she was above average in most categories of life, and had no problem reminding people repeatedly of that fact. I'm not going to lie---I didn't like her. Not at all. To be completely honest, I threatened to kill her with my bare hands. And the scary thing is, I meant it. I wanted her to die. I imagined dark fantasies of the light fading from her eyes right before my own, her pleading for me to spare her life. And in my fantasies, I wouldn't listen and I didn't care. She had tortured me for five years and I was utterly and simply sick of it all. Sick of her. My animosity towards Gabriella was no secret among my peers. Not many people liked her, so it's not like I stood alone on the concept. However I was the only one who voiced a threat. THE threat. The threat that got me on a suspect list in some cop's notepad. They want to know if I killed her. If they knew the whole story, would they blame me if I did? ©Copyright Timara M. Lewis 2013Complete

From The Ashes [#NaNoWriMo16]
NaNoWriMo #2016 Adrana was a country home to a very special kind of species. The Keeri weren't like Humans, Elves or the Yaasma. They were unique, in the way that most of them had two souls instead of one. Usually, this wasn't a problem, but when it came to Quinton Mattos, it was bigger than a threat of war. Quin was, as far as he knew, a simple orphan with no intention of being noticed. He kept to himself, and only left his hideout if he needed to. By doing this, he kept out of trouble and it suited him well. What he didn't know, however, was that his second soul had a completely different outlook on life. But this was the least of his problems. Following an amazing discovery, Quin's destiny becomes entwined with that of six others, none of which have anything in common. With a new race on the rise - a race unlike any other - Quin and his new group of peculiar 'companions' are destiny's hand-picked heroes, and the only ones that can stop this new threat from destroying the world. Can they set their differences aside long enough to fix the broken, or will their differences aid the destruction of the world?Complete
