IN A TIME WHEN HUMANS ARE AN OPPRESSED RACE AND GOMORRIANS RULE WITH AN IRON FIST, A SINGLE GIRL STUMBLES INTO A WORLD OF MAGIC AND MONSTERS, AND MUST LEARN TO OVERCOME IT ALL.
Kiera has hated her father, Ragnar, the human ruler of LeFran, for longer than she can remember. No, scratch that. She has hated him since the day he sentenced her mother to death for witchcraft. Now on the verge of adulthood, Kiera is trying to figure out who she is in a world in which she doesn't quite belong. If not for a forbidden childhood friendship with a Gomorrian prince named Sod, Kiera and her people might have been left hungry, not only for food, but for hope.
After her friendship with Sod takes an uncomfortable turn, Kiera is left to wander the terrifying forest alone. Until one day she encounters Archer, the most unusual human she ever seen. He’s also not hard on the eyes, though Archer quickly makes it clear that their arrangement is strictly business, no matter the sparks that fly between them. Archer has been tasked by the witch Abak to help Kiera develop her gift, a gift she did not know she had and is reluctant to possess after her mother’s grim fate. To compound things, Kiera’s hand has been promised to the smarmy Gavin. Her father believes their union will help strengthen their people against the ruthless King Bera and the Gomorrians, but Kiera easily sees right through the devious leech. But how can she convince her stubborn father that the marriage is a mistake–especially as the fate of the people of LeFran and the human world now seems to rest with her?

The Chronicles of Starlyn
Elves are immortal, except death by battle or poison. Yet, despite that fact, Starlyn’s mother is dying, and nobody knows why. Starlyn loves her mother and desperately searches for any way to help her, yet it seems there is little she can do but sit and watch. Even the elven healers and herbalists are stunned and cannot find a way. Other elves turn away from her aid, afraid of a weakness –an illness- in her bloodline, and would rather her mother die than taint the other elves with her weakness. Starlyn’s sister, Arria, refuses to sit and watch as their mother dies and takes more drastic measures to try and save their mother. She dives into the restricted books in the elven library about dark magic. Dark magic has been forbidden for the elves because it is said that even the willpower of an elf cannot prevail against the touch of a dark taint. Arria is no longer concerned of her own welfare and dives heavily into her studies. Strange things begin to happen, and Starlyn ends up learning of her sister’s studies in the dark magic and is forced to confront her. The elven law states that if you begin in the art of forbidden magic that you are forever an outcast from the elven order. Starlyn wishes to reason with her sister that dark magic is not the way. Her love for both her mother and sister leave her torn to either save her mother or her sister, and if at all possible to save them both. However, if she doesn’t make the right choice, it may condemn both of them to death, and leave Starlyn without family, which is the very thing she treasures the most.Complete
