Cassandra has spent her youth running the canals of Venice, keeping one step ahead of trouble by the use of her wits and stolen skill with the rapier. But now she has come of age in the eyes of society and a casual vow made when she was only a child has come back to haunt her, and the consequences may prove to be lethal. Torn from the only home she has ever known and exiled to a strange land, Cassandra is forced to ask herself why she has never wondered as to the parents that she never knew or questioned just who she is herself.

Veins of The Lost Moon
The moons remember what the world has forgotten. Hidden among mortals by her mother, Herinity, Avyanna has always lived in the quiet shadow of her gifted sister, Delilah. She was never meant to awaken, but when it comes, what should have been her long-delayed awakening becomes something far older, far more dangerous - a power whispered about only in the oldest lunar myths: the Lost Moonstone. Now hunted by prophecy and dreams of a kingdom lost beneath fractured moons, Avyanna must navigate a world where truth and illusion blur, and every secret her mother kept begins to unravel. As war stirs beyond the veils of Galariah, ancient forces awaken - including the exiled god who calls her "daughter." The High Council fractures, her sister succumbs to shadow whispers, and reality itself begins to bend under her emotions. As the moons align and the veil between realms shatters, Avyanna must decide whether she will be the Balance reborn or the ruin her blood was destined to bring. Because when the violet moon rises, salvation and destruction will share the same face. Power born of moons always demands sacrifice. And Avyanna is beginning to fear the price is her soul. Family. Love. Friendship. Betrayal. Loss. Only fate is in control now.

She needs her godson to be prepared, before entering a world that views him as their savour.

When a mission goes wrong and a witness survives-someone she was told didn't exist-The Whisper begins to question everything she's ever been told. As secrets unravel and memories stir, The Whisper must confront the truth behind her past, the lies she was raised on, and the dangerous possibility that she was never meant to be a weapon at all. But she brings the boy she should have left behind, and with him comes a trail of questions she can no longer ignore. Together, they work to solve the mysteries of The Whisper's past, following clues buried in forgotten stories and half-remembered dreams. (WARNING: BLOOD, DEATH, ABUSE, TRAUMA)

Stolen Breath
Elara knew Oakhaven was dreary. She just didn't know it was deadly. After the sudden loss of her parents, eighteen-year-old Elara is exiled to the perpetually rain-soaked, isolated town of Oakhaven. The moment she arrives, she feels the oppressive weight of the forest-a place where the shadows whisper and the air hums with forgotten magic. One restless night, she dares to cross the boundary into the ancient woods and meets the town's oldest secret: Cassian. He's dangerously beautiful, utterly cold, and has been frozen in time for two hundred and fifty-four years. Cassian is the Warden, bound by an unbreakable covenant sealed by Elara's ancestors centuries ago. His silver eyes are the only light in the gloom, and his gaze tells her everything she needs to know: the waiting is over. Elara carries the final payment. Cassian came to collect the debt. The cost of his freedom might be her life, but the magnetic pull between them is a terrifying promise of a fate they can't escape.Complete
