Lyna, a lone young warrior sorceress, roams the world, hunting and destroying evil objects known as the bane cores, objects she alone can locate using an innate and unique power.
Her next quarry lies in the isolated village of Tanasu, located at the edge of civilization and bordering on the Territories of Sij, the land of her ancestors. There, Lyna hopes to destroy another core and maybe find a place to call home.
But with each use of her strange ability, Lyna leaves behind a part of herself; a memory of her past, a remnant of her spirit, a piece of her strength and youth. And when she only finds death and a cursed land in Tanasu, Lyna starts to question if her efforts are making a difference and if there is any hope for this world, and for herself.
Now, Lyna must decide if she abandons her quest and leaves the world to fend for itself, or if she continues on what is becoming a hopeless fight, at the risk of surrendering her very soul.

We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.

And now, Zackai and Eilex need to figure out how to help each other, despite the growing love between them. They're falling for each other, and it seems that Victoria knew that.

Pheromone Fury
Pheromone Fury is a story about a not-so-young lady, Tanwa, who desired "her own man" for husband. She dreaded having a man who will look at, much less engage in a relationship with, another woman. Getting desperate as age raced against her, Tanwa sought the help of a Wicca witch online, and using the appropriated sorceress portions, unwittingly unleashed hell on her mother's banker whom her mother was surreptitiously attempting to match-mate with her. Tanwa didn't like the banker who was drawn to her by the magic. Eventually she discarded the portion, frustrated with the whole magic stuff. Over the night when she ditched the sorceress portion, she dreamt of her 'husband and children'. The following afternoon, she decided to have lunch outside, even though she never liked the idea and had food at home. She ran into her father, who was being driven to a business lunch, and joining them, weird stuff erupted, and she found her true love. Oh... It's far more, weird than that!Complete

As Lyra is drawn into a world of forbidden magic, political intrigue, and ancient power, she discovers the ruined city of Velmora-a forgotten fifth kingdom buried in myth and shadow.

And deep beneath the Academy, something stirs... waiting for the Queen who was never supposed to rise.
