In the farming province of Hanno, Eleonora Wilder lives a simple life tending to her father's renowned greenhouse and pissing off her younger sister, Amara. When she receives an anonymous letter from "Sunshine" boasting of a hidden stash of rare, magical plants once grown by the Fae themselves, she cannot refuse the quest.
After making the journey to Heliodora - her rival kingdom and sworn enemy -, she discovers she has been signed up for the annual Courting Festival by mistake and must compete for the crown prince's affections or shun her family forever. She meets a mysterious contender during the festival who agrees to help her in her quest for the plants for something in return.
Will Nora help form an alliance between the two enemy kingdoms, find the secret plants to bring fortune to her troubled family, AND discover the dark secrets of the Heliodorian kingdom?
Oh, and will she be able to pick between Elio - the gorgeous, yet haughty, crowned prince of Heliodora who loves to torment her - and Ramiel - the peculiar, yet wickedly handsome, nobleman whose origins leave more questions than answers?

Among the Ashes (Book 2)
Fern should've stayed dead. But death spat her out with fire in her lungs and Thane's name on her tongue. Now, resurrected and burning with something new and terrifying in her blood, she's on a desperate hunt-not just to find Thane and the others she was forced to leave behind, but to understand what she's become and how the hell she's alive. Her search drags her into the heart of Evatan-the kingdom of men-and straight into the path of the High Lord Rouland. He's dangerous, calculating, and hauntingly familiar. He keeps Fern on a gilded leash, parading her as the savior of his people, all while dangling Thane's whereabouts like a knife to her throat. With Thane's face and none of his heart, he offers a trade: help him win the war, and he'll give her information on Thane. But trust comes at a cost-and Rouland wants far more than an alliance. He wants everything. But Fern didn't crawl her way back from the grave to become a bargaining chip. Surrounded by strangers, tangled in politics, and stalked by the shadow of war, Fern has to play the game right. She meets new allies, reunites with old ones, and keeps the ember of rebellion burning in her chest. The war is far from over. Sayda is still in hiding. And Fern's return might just break the world for good. Will she take the High Lord's deal? Or will she burn the whole damn kingdom down? Among the Ashes is a story of rebirth, ruin, and ruthless choices. Power always comes with a price. And Fern is done paying it in silence.

Wonder what would happen to the world if such a seed existed inside a person and it finally bloomed? Synopsis: Briar was made a slave and an orphan on the same day she was born.

As she masters her skills, she, along with her friends, are given the opportunity to leave and earn her freedom.

Bruises, Cuts & Scars
I was never supposed to see the other side of the forest. And I definitely wasn't supposed to fall for a princess. One accidental step through a hidden gate, and my scars turned to gold, my blood to gemstones-and my life into a political weapon. Now I'm caught between the human world and the Fae court, where beauty hides deadly ambition and alliances are as fragile as glass. The Queen's enemies want to use me. Her daughter wants to protect me. And every choice I make pulls me deeper into a game I don't understand. In the Celestial Veil, secrets have teeth, magic has a price, and even love can be dangerous. Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses - a slow-burn, high-stakes romantic fantasy filled with court intrigue, hidden magic, and a heroine who must decide if surviving means staying human... or becoming something more.
Beautiful Beast
My name is Kalista. They call me the beast. Kalista has been cursed by a powerful sorceress and is now a prisoner in her own palace. As petals fall from an enchanted rose, her fate and the sorceress's victory draw nearer. But Kalista refuses to be defeated so easily and uses her own magic to push against the bindings. Yet what if it is not enough and the only way the curse might be shattered is through the help of another? When Arawn crosses into the beast's domain, he has one motive: revenge for his brother's death. But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice. Together, they struggle against spells, wolves, and time itself to break the curse. If they fail, Kalista will fall asleep and will never again wake.Complete
