Crow and Sea follows the story of the Meditteranean noble half-elf-bard Mariela Highfeather and her crow familiar, Angelino. Born from an affair, she finds herself cripplingly ostracized in her family home and decides it's time to leave with a pirate she meets at her regular haunt. He promises her the story of a lifetime if she can put together a capable crew of individuals who can help her find a vague artifact that he's heard of in his travels. On their journey, they meet a vampire and their twin sister who both have a large, but conflicting role in how the consequences of their discovery will shape the world.

As A Stranger Or A Friend?
Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion. The balances of fate tip dangerously and they quickly find themselves pitted against the same foe: time. The world's watchful eyes fall upon them as night coats the skies and something unexpectedly new begins to emerge. Hope. Little do they know just how dangerous something like that can be. *Contains mature themes, such as violence, gore, suggestive scenes, and offensive/triggering language, please read with care and at your own discretion.*Complete
The Last Nymph
Maera was a nymph. Or was she? She claimed to be a genuine Nereid from antiquity. Right out of the pages of Greek mythology. Well, that's what she told Doc Roussos who lived alone on the island. Kalamos was remote and sparsely populated. An exquisite pine-covered jewel that rose steep and majestic out of the turquoise and cobalt Mediterranean. Maera would visit Doc on those summer nights uninvited. Arriving unannounced, she would appear at his ruin--a formerly destroyed section of a Venetian castle. It was a place over the years he had more-less inherited. But who really was this honey-haired girl who began to invade Doc's isolation? Somewhere in her twenties, beautiful, and with a musical voice and a graceful gait, she seemed real enough to the retired professor. But it was her nightly stories which gave him pause for disbelief. Tales from a long-ago past. Myths. But were these stories all she would offer him?Complete
