When her uncle is murdered by a curse, seventeen-year-old water mage, Selena, must use her skills to solve his murder and stop the killer's plans to purge the world of those without magic. ****
Selena Mendelson, a sharp-tongued, ambitious student whose social skills are lacking, dreams of forging a career in spellcraft and potions. However, her authoritarian, dark-leaning father is pushing to recruit her to work for the government in his department, the Defense Bureau.
When Selena's uncle is murdered by a freezing curse in front of her eyes, she vows to avenge him. During her investigation, Selena discovers records in her father's study that reveal he may have killed her uncle to conceal information about a special project at work. When Selena asks to join her father on his business cruise as a cover for her investigation, he refuses, leaving her no choice but to sneak onboard the magical cruise ship, The Augurey of the Seas.
As Selena uncovers the truth, what she finds chills her to the core. There is more at stake than she ever imagined. Can Selena avenge her uncle while stopping the Defense Bureau's plans, or will her investigation freeze in its tracks?

The Love Elixir
A witch cursed with obedience stumbles on a tempting opportunity: create an (illegal-ish) love potion for the university it-girl, for a hefty sum. The payment would help her enlist the infamous underground guild to help her break her curse. All in all, a good deal. The problem? The love elixir's target is the university golden boy that said witch has a major crush on. Nothing unfolds as planned, and chaos ensues. ♡ Amira has the short end of the stick. Cursed with obedience and lacking in magical ability, she's an overall outcast at Aeseros University for the Magical Arts and Sciences. The only thing keeping her (and her GPA) afloat is her genius-level potions ability. So she makes the best of the situation by running a secret potion-making business. If she saves enough, she can finally hire the underground guild to help break her curse. But when the popular Calypso De Costa offers to pay an irresistible amount for a love potion, Mira is conflicted. Partly because it's kinda illegal, and mostly because Calypso wants to target Arden Lancaster, the gorgeous, charismatic, studious student council president. And Mira's crush. It would be a hard choice to make - if Mira had any. Things turn from bad to worse when Arden's best friends are also thrown into the mix: sweet sunshine Leonidas, self-absorbed playboy Elijah, and the chronically sleepy Kai. And Mira underestimates Calypso's hunger for revenge. Let's just say: Maybe being cursed isn't so bad.

Quill of Thieves

In the realm of Rainier where magic should no longer exist, eighteen-year-old Sebastian d'Aximos, a nobody scholar from an insignificant fishing village, finds himself accused by the Salvera Crown for using forgotten elemental magic to murder his own mother. There exists one problem with the Crown's theory, however; magic resides only in the Scribal legends about the Authors of Old, a rare race of humans who controlled the seven elements by weaving elemental threads into storybooks called Monvertas. But the Monvertas are myths; they have never been real. Yet, when Sebastian's soul cries out to the hidden heir of Rainier's Crown, Astrid Salvera, his beliefs in logic and facts are challenged. Because Astrid controls the seven elements, and she and her mother have worked to release magic back to their kingdom since it had been stolen by the enemy lands of Soleita two decades previously. Together, Sebastian and Astrid must work to find a mystical, hidden artifact: the Black Quill. A tool used by the original Author to unlock the Monverta and release its magical secrets. A tool that could redeem the realms of their world and reinstate magic. Ancient myths, prophecies of saviours and villains, and deadly trials by elements awaken to meet both Sebastian and Astrid as they work to unveil the secrets hidden from Rainier and learn the dark truths of each other. **Book 2 OUT NOW!**Complete
