As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

Elventale (Book #1 in the Of Elves and Gods Trilogy)
In a time long gone, everything was perfect. There were three species that ruled the world: Elves, Gods, and Humans. They lived in a perfectly balanced world for thousands of years until an unfortunate turn of events caused the elves to be banished to the trees, the gods to the skies, and the humans to the grounds. Inevitably, the two greater powers began a cataclysmic war. Today, thousands of years later, is when things start to take an unexpected turn. Victoria Fugo is an orphan. Her parents abandoned her at a rundown orphanage as a newborn, and she has never known any love except for that given by her stingy caretaker, which is next to none. She has a single friend, and spends most of her time reading fairy tales and daydreaming. Cerritulus is the odd elf out. Donned in colorful shorts and kimonos with weird patterns, she's an outcast of all sorts, considered strange even by her own parents. Her total obsession with myths and history unsettles even the most hardened treasure hunters. Certus is a teenage heartthrob. He's intelligent, gorgeous, athletic, and humble. While all of the other elves, male and female, throw themselves at him, he brushes them off and prefers to disappear into the background with a book. Tom is Victoria's only friend. Her mischievous, attractive, extremely intelligent friend. His strong skill is coming up with elaborate schemes and flirting with every person who ever passes through the orphanage. When these four are strung together and get tangled up in a myth as old as time, they soon discover that there is much more to old legends than just a few elves and a prophecy. Think you know magic? Think again.Complete

The Golden Dragon's Hoard
Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete
