Thief. Mage. Fae. Healer. Soldier. Outlaw.
In Orelen, a land where mages rule and faeries lurk in forests, Bronwyn makes her living prowling the streets of Inasmont, picking the pockets of wealthy folk and performing the occasional burglary.
But magick is dying throughout the country, leaving thousands of mages dead - or worse, without their magick, a shell of their former selves. So when High Mage Elora Caleris offers Bronwyn an ultimatum - to rot in prison or join her expedition to discover the source of the blight - she leaps at the chance to see the world outside the capital.
An unseen danger simmers in the shadows. Glory or ruin are within reach. And the fate of Orelen lies in the hands of six souls...
As long as they don't kill each other first.

Chase the Villian
Two childhood friends. One turned golden boy loved by all, shining on the court and in the classroom. The other became a shadow dangerous, sharp-edged, and unapologetically cruel. Years later, college brings them back into each other's orbit. But nothing is the same. Not the stolen glances, not the late-night silences, and definitely not the way one of them now feels like the beginning of a war. What begins as a slow unraveling soon spirals into something darker. Secrets claw their way to the surface. Loyalty turns to obsession. Love becomes a game of power, punishment, and possession. This isn't a story of soft touches or sweet confessions. It's about chasing the villain, even when you know he'll ruin you. Especially when you want him to. Some stories aren't written to be safe. Some are written to hurt and still, you beg for more.
