Along the way, he encounters a mysterious stranger who he recognizes immediately--the keeper of his heart. Destruction threatens him on both sides--what he faces and what he brings with him. His love and loyalty will be tested. And no matter what path he chooses, nothing will ever be the same.

Bound in Spirals
A young man finds himself stranded by the death of another. (Written March 2015 - Feb 2018) 12/30/2021 - Author's note: I write to those who have awaited more of this world... I have not revisited this story in years and will likely have to do some major edits/rewrites before I write a sequel. I am sorry to inform it will probably be some more years before I have the time/energy. For now, consider this a fragment of a fuller universe. It is also a peek into the process of me learning to write as well as my early attempts to deconstruct power dynamics/hierarchy/gender/etc. I appreciate anyone who has found something of worth here and I want to reassure you that I don't intend to leave this story to rest forever. It will be reborn from its ashes and bring with it new growth.Complete

Shadows of the Heart
He was born royalty a tri-breed prince, the first of his kind. She was just a human girl with fire in her heart and no idea the supernatural world even existed. But the moment he found her, the bond snapped into place; wild, forbidden, and far too early. She couldn't remember. He could never forget. He watched from the shadows, hungered in silence, torn between the duty of a king and the pull of a mate the universe marked for him. She grew up not knowing he'd already chosen her. But the heat between them only smoldered, scorching beneath every stolen glance, every gift left without a name, every moment she didn't understand and every one he couldn't stop himself from creating. Because some bonds don't wait. And love like theirs? It burns before it blooms.
