In New Orleans, the veil between worlds is gossamer thin, eroded by countless fumbling human attempts at magic, a melting pot of spiritual beliefs, and a penchant for wholesale tragedy. Mystical wards are supposed to prevent Outsiders from taking advantage of this to cross over from their own planes, but dark fae activity has been detected within the city all the same.
Padraig is a fae-blooded human orphan turned supernatural cartographer for the Seelie Court. He must use his inherited ability to step between these disparate realms to solve the mystery behind the Unseelie's appearance, and what connection it may have to his estranged wife Morgan's grisly suicide attempt. Having escaped a psychiatric hospital only days before, she leapt from a parking garage roof during rush hour, her body covered in Unseelie runes.
With his motley crew - among them a disgraced cop, a druid priestess for hire, and a Reiki healer with anger issues - Padraig begins a race against Lilith, the Unseelie high priestess bent on resurrecting her queen using Morgan as a vessel. If successful, nothing can stop them from destroying the wards, conquering the human realm as the next step in their eternal war against the Seelie.

Crossing Boundaries
Seelie and Unseelie: two opposing fae courts with such a dark history that they've cut all ties between them. Affiliation with the other side in any way is high treason for both - the only difference is that those found guilty face banishment from the Seelie and death from the Unseelie. Luin left Seelie lands years ago, choosing exile rather than giving up on his Unseelie soul mate. Only, his soul mate never came and hope is harder to cling to with each passing year. A new path opens up to him, but it would mean giving up on his soul mate forever. Arrowan has been plotting an escape from his realm since the day he learned his soul mate is Seelie, but with tensions growing higher between the two courts, security is stronger than ever and even a rumor of trying to leave can get you killed. Before his carefully-constructed plan can come to fruition, he feels something terribly wrong with his soul bond and fears he might have run out of time.

Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance*
"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust. But in the courts of fae, trust is the deadliest trial of all. ***************************** Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (18+) Themes: - Enemies to lovers - Strong female main character - Protective / obsessive male main character - Fated mates - Prisoner-ally relationship - Court politics - Trails And so much more!

The Secret of Soul
“I tucked my light brown hair behind my ear and placed on my warm, light blue winter jacket and headed for the woods. He was here, breathing down my neck, yet not here at all. I felt his presence consume me, yet I felt nothing. The cold air whipped into my face and I looking into the July snow. “Whitney,” the spirits whispered. He was here.” What happens when one era ends and another begins? Whitney woke up from her afternoon nap when her best friend Sarah called. Apparently, the world was ending, despite the obvious knowledge it wasn't, and Sarah wanted to party. Whitney was always the third wheel when it came to Sarah and her boyfriend Jack, and was really not up for it, but she threw on some clothes and met them at the beach. Whitney met them, and after hours of torture, ran away from them after almost drinking cow blood. On her run, she saved lives and saw the world beginning to change. She ends the escape at Courtney's house, a local teen, who was drunk with her best friends. Unfortunately, the Ouija board "joke" turned into a true spell that slowly caused the human race to disintegrate and the rise of supernatural beings to become a reality. I dedicate this story to my best friend Zoe. Zoe, you're a constant inspiration for this and I love you forever for it!!!Tamamlanmış Hikaye
