Tala, a young woman, discovers that her father owes a stranger a mysterious debt of service. Her father must once again take up his sword and undertake whatever task the stranger has commanded of him. The only problem is that her father has gotten a bit lame and isn't able to move as well as he could before. Fearing for his safety, Tala decides to take her father's place and answer the call of service that was given to him.
However, upon meeting with the stranger, she discovers that he is no ordinary person. He isn't even a human, but in fact an animal spirit named Indra. Some years back, Tala's father had done something to fall under the service of this spirit. Having taken his place, Tala is now tasked with a quest that may seem well beyond her ability and means. To aid her in her quest, she is given a ring only she can use. This ring holds the animal spirit's knowledge and wisdom in case she is need of guidance. Unfortunately, it will take more than knowledge and wisdom to tackle such a quest.
Having zero background in fighting or travelling, Tala goes to the king and poses as chosen one who was prophesized to bring glory to the kingdom. From there, she employs warriors with names and titles that have been recognized throughout the kingdom. Will she be able to carry out her father's task, while also keep up this charade as a heroine?

Powerless? I'm the Spirit King Master
In a world where magic reigns supreme and spirits are long forgotten legends, a quiet country noblewoman named Elara Vionne lives a simple, peaceful life in the far reaches of the kingdom. To her neighbors, she's nothing more than a kind, powerless aristocrat who tends her garden and protects her small family. But hidden within her soul lies the truth- she is the reincarnation of the strongest Spirit Master, the one who once commanded the Spirit Kings themselves three thousand years ago. Elara has no wish to return to that life. She only wants peace. Yet peace is hard to find when dungeons, ancient beasts, and spirit anomalies keep appearing near her home- as if the world itself is calling her name. Then, one day, a traveling adventurer arrives in her village- a man with silver hair, eyes like burning amber, and an aura too refined to belong to a common wanderer. He introduces himself as Kaien Dravern, a wandering swordsman on a simple mission. But in truth, he is the Crown Prince of Ardyn, sent in secret to uncover the cause of the rising chaos. From the moment he meets Elara, something feels wrong- no fear, no surprise, even when monsters appear before her doorstep. > "You're calm," Kaien said quietly, watching her command the wind without a chant. "Too calm for someone who claims to be powerless." Elara only smiled, her eyes reflecting ancient memories. > "Maybe I'm just used to strange things." And for the first time in centuries, the sealed mark on her wrist began to glow again. The Spirit King was waking up- and destiny was once more closing in.
Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete
