Charlotte, Beckett, Swanmere lives as her father's untrimmed hedge.

Merlot Rainbaum searches for a miracle cure to heal her mother, who is none other than the Queen of the Mermaids.

Railey Ferntoss, renown across the Western Sector as the Dragon Master, can't finish off the illegal trades of dragon hunters without new networks popping up in the black market like a festering fungus.

One fate-altering event allows Beckett's illustrious father a way to finally be rid of his elvaniac daughter: the murder of his dragon vet sister. 

Under the guise of settling her aunt's estate, located all the way out in the Western Sector, Beckett finds herself disowned, alone, and lost on the fringes of the world she's always known.

Child messengers from the Goddess, predatory Dark Elf villagers, and the furry, winged surprise of a lifetime settle Beckett into a tumultuous new life. And she hasn't even met the other main characters yet!

You are invited into the murky black market of the Goddess's Femur, a land of elves and other fae folk. Humorous and philosophical, pet owners may connect with the plight of a vet and her dragon. Don't expect laughter the entire time, though, for at its core, A Failure of a High Elf forces us to accept our most regrettable mistakes and fight through our self-imposed powerlessness to try and find the clear skies on the other side.

Of Shadow and Death by Guinealove2005

After partly avenging her mother's death, Evette Star, the illegitimate daughter of an elven king, sets off on a warpath to find the adversary of her people. The human King in the West, Dracul Dregoth, has locked himself away in a stone tower for reasons unbeknownst to those who fear him. His reign has blanketed the land in darkness, and while Evette knows little about the man, she intends to make him pay for the deeds done by those who have obeyed his relayed orders. She will bring him to justice, even if it means uncovering hidden secrets that will force her to question if all of her efforts were really worth the trouble. She will have to learn the hard way that self-love and self-acceptance are more important than the love of others. Werewolves, dragons, and undead spirits may keep her from reaching her destination on time, but her need for fiery vengeance will be sated. Of Shadow and Death is the first book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is truly trustworthy. No one is safe. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will live happily ever after. ___________________________________ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Of Shadow and Death is art. This book is a page turner.
