✦ Book One of the Dawn of Illstarye Series ✦
Hiraeth forced herself to believe that being dragged halfway across the world to Norway by her friend was a good idea. Until they got lost in the mountains in the night with dead phones and shadows moving all around them. Deep in those mountains, an earth-shattering bellow echoed in the night. Running for her life, Hiraeth makes her escape to the dark salty waters but instead of plunging into the Norwegian Sea, she fell into a pocket of space and time.
When she awoke, she found herself no longer in her world but in one with two hanging moons and shadowed monsters hunting her.

Amos University is a prestigious institute with a thousand years of history. Mage families send their sons to Amos to learn their craft, make connections with other families, and prepare for their future. Mixing magic and young men promises that no one year is boring. Club rivalries, hazing, and missed assignments can become a matter of life and death. But underneath it all there are predictable variables, controls placed over the students to prevent certain apocalyptic type events from happening. There are natural laws to magic which no mage can change or cross. Such as: all mages are male. In body or soul, every mage is male. Until Naena. A bastard from the Western Cape, Naena has spent the previous three years living on the streets. She is uneducated and lacking in certain social niceties. Her mother was once a maid to a mage family, learning a coded language as a young mage in the house did, but nothing else is known about the woman except her name. The men who find Naena are determined to keep her alive long enough to find out what her appearance means. The students are both wary and intrigued. While the faculty are forced to take on the first female mage in the history of the world, nothing says they need to help her with her studies. Or to stay alive.Complete

The Descension
Saeya Ardere Ellfire was born high above the clouds, on floating islands of insane mass. Living in the sky was not what you would have expected. It wasn't peaceful, or beautiful. All five of the aerials were entirely consumed by immense fog, all except Skyward. The eye would scarcely catch a glimpse of the blue sky or the overwhelming glare of the sun and it most certainly didn't see the moon or stars. Living in the sky was like being a bird trapped in a cage with no escape. At least-no escape that had been accomplished successfully. Book 1 of the Series. • Five different stories from different povs of the same world that eventually come together. •Complete
