In a world where darkness threatens to consume all, the Vigiles Sancti, once mighty protectors of humanity against evil, find themselves on the brink of collapse. Blessed by God with divine sight to see heavenly beings, the order's gift has become a curse as human greed twists it into something sinister tainting it with their relentless pursuit of power sparked by the Hellsfall Codex. What started as a mere record of demons and cultists killed by each house has turned into a catalyst for moral decay, sparking a vicious race to the claim of superiority.
Amidst this chaos Selah Thorne, the daughter of the presumed-dead leaders of House Silverthorne, now shattered due to its desperate attempt at rebellion, is raised in secret until one day her world is thrown off its axis as her parents vanish without a trace. Determined to uncover the truth, she throws herself into investigative journalism.
Selah's path collides with the enigmatic Lucas Bledman, when she stumbles upon a terrifying battlefield where Vigiles Sancti clash with cultists. Dragged into the turbulent world of the order, Selah must confront the secrets of her family's past and the corruption that destroyed them.
As Selah navigates the treacherous world of the Vigiles Sancti, she is faced with a choice: Will she take up their fight for justice, or be consumed by the same lust for power that has rotted the order to its core? And what of Lucas, heir to the tainted legacy of House Bledman? Will he blindly follow in his ancestors' footsteps, or will he find the strength to break free and forge a new path?

The Shadow Wanderers
Legend has it, if you stand at the edge of the cliff at the crack of dawn holding a candle and your most beloved possession, you can open a doorway between dimensions. So when Calista Davis turns a deaf ear to every mock she's gotten from the people of Erini, and stands at the edge of the cliff holding a candle and her mother's pendant, she's not sure if she can leave or something else comes through. Suddenly, her ever so lonely life isn't lonely anymore as a chiseled face with a pair of scintillating red eyes, who claims to be the King of the planet Vakenes, appears out of nowhere. Her boring days take a dramatic turn and soon she's visiting planets she'd never heard the names of. In addition, she gets surrounded by troops of vicious demons, blood curses, and the threats of the demon protector, who wants her dead. ___ FIRST PLACE in the Clover Awards FIRST PLACE in the Flower Awards SECOND PLACE in the Regal Awards ____ Reader's Review: "YOU'RE MEANING TO TELL ME YOU AREN'T PUBLISHED?

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.Concluida
For Her Favor
"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.Concluida
Two Moons
For centuries, the House of Viridelle has borne the gift-and curse-of Sight. Selene Viridelle, the last of her line, carries more than visions in her blood; she carries the weight of an ancient prophecy foretelling that a child would shape the fate of kingdoms. Now, the prophecy seems to be at last coming to pass... and not in the way she hoped. Forced into an arranged marriage to King Zahir of Qamara, Selene faces a gilded cage. The king seeks not love, but power-wishing for his heirs to inherit her magic and bind it forever to his throne. As a week-long celebration leads up to the wedding, whispers of rebellion and water shortages stir unrest among Qamara's people, threatening to spill into the surrounding kingdoms. When Selene's visions turn dark, revealing that staying in Qamara means death, she seizes her chance for escape-falling in with a secretive band investigating the kingdom's water crisis. Among them is a brilliant but guarded engineer, Renric, whose haunted eyes hide royal blood long thought lost... and Darian, his charismatic, ruthless companion whose loyalty conceals dangerous ambition. The two men share a bond forged in war and secrets-but one that fractures under Selene's presence, unraveling into betrayal and hidden rivalries. Every secret revealed brings Selene closer to the truth-and to a love that could rewrite the destiny carved in her blood. But in a land of lies and legacy, even love may not survive the coming storm. ***TRIGGER WARNINGS: Abuse, emotional manipulation, domestic violence, toxic relationships, drug and alcohol use, eating disorders, murder, and light mention of self-harm and suicide ideation.***
The Aeon Below
The Aeon Below Deep beneath the frozen ribs of the mountain lies a place the world pretends not to see, the Cave of the Dead, a place where light dies and the air itself hums with mourning. They say those who venture in never come back sane..if they come back at all. For centuries, no one has reached its final chamber - a cathedral vast and golden, carved for gods long forgotten. No one... until Dahlia. A down-on-her-luck woman desperate to escape her parasitic relatives, Dahlia joins an expedition to explore the cave, hoping to make enough money to buy her peace. Instead, she finds him, a corpse that isn't quite dead, standing before a massive flat monolith that flickers like a tomb-screen, each word it shows pulsing with thought. A being who calls himself Caelir, once a god, now fallen and bound as the barrier between the living and the underworld. When Dahlia accidentally touches the Black Salt Stone, she gives Caelir what he's been waiting centuries for: a tether to her mind. From that moment on, his voice curls through her thoughts like smoke, mocking, taunting, amused. For the first time in hundreds of years, he's not alone. For the first time in her life, Dahlia has someone who listens though she wishes he wouldn't. But Caelir's interest in Dahlia isn't mercy. To awaken his preserved body, to tear free of his prison, he must drain the soul of the one who touched the Stone...her. And though he tells himself it's inevitable, her stubborn humor, her greed, and her defiance begin to unravel something inside him, something dangerously human. As Dahlia delves deeper into the cave's labyrinth of death, she realizes that her worst enemy isn't the whispers of the dead... It's the voice inside her head. ~~~ Early draft, being revised for publication elsewhere.

The key to proving Siobhan's innocence lies within the highlands, a home she never thought she'd see again. Siobhan isn't sure she's ready to confront the past that's hunted her for so long, but continuing to deny the truth only puts her and her companion Wren in greater danger. Wren's patience for seeking the truth is waning while his magic grows stronger, and Siobhan worries he lost more than his fiancé to magic. As she struggles to help him learn control, she realizes more than friendship connects them. This fragile link puts Siobhan in a place she never expected, reinforcing that everything she's ever known is a lie. Ever faithful Elias has left Siobhan's side for the first time since she was born. He believes she's going to need allies in the coming battle to reclaim her birthright. Elias knows after Siobhan was framed for murdering her father, the future King of Ardorn could be the last supporter she has left. Prince Eloy, already scarred by the broken union between Draygon and Ardorn, will only lend his support if Elias returns to him what Draygon has stolen.
