Change is the one constant in anyone's life, especially if you live for centuries. As an elf you watch plants, animals, and people grow, change and die; nothing stays the same for long. But when the one constant you have is your family, you'll do anything to get it back.
"Mom, don't you see, we can finally get my sister back, we can be a family again and everything can go back to the way it was."
"My little sapling, remember the forest is never the same after the storm."

The Blood Between Us
The elves arrived a decade ago, bringing rations and magic to aid in the war. But whispers spread of a deeper purpose-of something, or someone, they were searching for. A nameless orphan girl, raised as human, has only ever known hunger and hardship. But when a single drop of blood reveals her true identity, her world is shattered. Torn from the only life she's ever known, she is thrust into an elegant and foreign world. Elven society demands she become one of them-to walk, speak, and think as they do. But she is still the girl who fought for scraps on the streets, still the child who flinches at a raised hand, still the survivor who trusts no one. Even her own mother, who mourned her death, is a stranger. As war looms and both sides demand her allegiance, she must find her place in a conflict centuries in the making. But first, she must survive a world that sees her as both its salvation and its greatest threat.
The After Effects
After it all happened, the Plague created what feels like a whole new world. Survivors created new lives for themselves and carried on with their lives. Me? I didn't get the chance to create a new life. Thanks to my absolutely wonderful father figure, I was forced to become an entirely different person. Thankfully I was able to escape his peachy influence and take some control of my new life. What I don't know is the Plague brought on after effects. Everything changed eleven years ago and only a few knew what actually happened after billions of people died. That all changes one-day though and I found my life completely flipped upside down. Cheers to The After Effects.Complete
The Atheil Chronicles: A Call to Fire
All her life, Ariana Lucade had lived on the border of the forest, happy and free beneath the reaching branches of the trees that she loved so much. She had always been content with her life exactly the way that it was: she had her mom, her cat, and her forest to keep her company, and she was sure that that was all that she would ever need. Never worrying about the future, never wanting more than what she already had, Ariana spent her days amongst the trees, letting her mind do the wandering for her while she kept her own feet planted firmly on the ground. That is, until she meets a mysterious stranger one night on a path that never should have been there in the first place. In that one act, Ariana's whole life is thrown into chaos and she's introduced to a world that she never could have imagined existed. Things aren't quite as magical as they seem, though, and Ariana soon finds out that the forest holds much darker secrets than she could have ever dared to dream. This is Book 1 in a 4 part series. Book 2 is ongoing and titled The Atheil Chronicles: A Call to Blood. This book has mature scenes and the corresponding chapters toward the end of the book are marked with Trigger Warnings.Complete
