When Shadows Rise (Book 1)
A magic-addicted spy trapped in the queen's service must track a princess-turned-assassin in order to earn her freedom, but things get complicated when she falls for the princess she's supposed to capture. ***** Weak. Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural. Those are the words whispered about eighteen-year-old Zara Tait, a Leodian spy addicted to soul-stealing magic. Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow. Now, Zara must choose between her freedom and the dangerous assassin she hadn't meant to fall for.

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her.

But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
ENTANGLED
Welcome to the world of Arcane Bonds. Lyra Blackwood thought her life was ordinary-a quiet existence far from chaos. But everything shatters when she's thrust into a secret world of vampires, witches, and ancient magic. She learns she's the heir of the Flameborn Witch-a legacy tied to the Arcane Gate, a mystical portal capable of reshaping the fates of all realms, magical and human alike. Caught between her mundane past and a destiny she never chose, Lyra is drawn into the magnetic orbit of Tristan Throne, a dangerously charming vampire with enough arrogance to set the world aflame. Beneath his flirtatious exterior lies a protector with secrets darker than the shadows he commands. Guiding her through the treacherous maze of vampire courts and witch covens, Tristan becomes both her greatest ally and most infuriating obstacle. But Tristan isn't the only one vying for her attention-or trust. Enter Vesper, a roguish wizard whose loyalty lies solely with Lyra, even if his motives remain suspect. As alliances form and shatter, and war looms on the horizon, Lyra must navigate a deadly web of betrayal, forbidden desires, and the weight of a legacy she barely understands. With danger closing in and Tristan's possessiveness igniting tension at every turn, Lyra begins to unravel the truth behind her power and her lineage. Will she rise to claim her destiny, or will the secrets of the past consume her? Entangled is a spellbinding tale of fiery passion, dangerous alliances, and self-discovery. In this world where love and power collide, nothing is ever as it seems. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy, enemies-to-lovers romance, and slow-burn.
