Klara Elmsworth, a promising young Mage with a haunting past, is entrusted with a secret by her dying mother. Klara is shocked to her core, more so when her mother asks her to share it with only one other person.
Struggling with an aversion to elves, Klara's resolve is further tested when she must team up with an elven Adept and heed the guidance of Araellor, an elven hunter, with whom she has constant problems. Matters become even more complicated when she finds herself being gradually drawn to him.
Together, they venture into The Nexus, an ancient ice fortress on the frigid island of Coldarra. Their task? To locate a possible cure for the Scourge - the plague that led to the tragic purging of Klara's hometown, Stratholme.
Determined to find out if the scrolls indeed hold the promise of a Scourge-free future, Klara requires aid in deciphering them. Only one person can help - the very individual her mother mentioned. The dilemma is heightened when she discovers the 'secret' impacts the elven hunter, Araellor.

A Lasting Legacy [ Thranduil X OC ]
COMPLETED story with a COMPLETED SEQUEL; "A Permanent Lineage" *40 chapters overall! '...She had dreamt of what his lips would feel and taste like for literally centuries and they didn't disappoint. The first touch of her lips on his was like a taste of water after years in the desert...' The war of the ring is over. Lady Arden of Ardor belongs to an ancient line of powerful half-breed Elves. Rumors hint at what their powers could possibly entail but no one knows for sure. Some say they are clairvoyant and others proclaim them to be shapeshifters. Many say both. One thing is for sure; all of Middle Earth fears them. But the war could not have been won without their aid and now the cursed line is asking for acceptance. No longer do they want to wander the forests endlessly, moving from kingdom to kingdom as permanent nomads. Now they call for a meeting between the fellowships' 5 bloodlines, requesting a permanent lineage and kingdom. There are just 2 problems that hinder lady Arden from finally receiving the honor her and her kin deserve. 1. The kingdom they wish to call theirs borders Mirkwood forest. 2. The king of Mirkwood is not so inclined on being neighbors with cursed creatures, especially their queen. Raised to look down upon anything not of full elvish form, Thranduil is enraged by the audacity of the creature and her people who have plagued his borders for centuries. However many do not know that the 2 were once inseparable. Long ago the 2 elvish races lived in peace until tragedy struck. Ever since then, Thranduil has hated Arden and her people with a passion. When it comes down to the last vote, it is none other than Thranduil who holds their future in his hands. Will he take advantage of Arden in the process of deciding? Will Arden finally be able to change his mind and in the end gain something more eternal than a legacy?

Foxtale
A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera. Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty. Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn't ask for this, nor the trouble that followed. There's no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking. • Animalfolk leads in a world of men • Found family beneath the ruins of an empire • Reluctant Mentor and Reluctanter Apprentice • High Magic meets Low Fantasy • Character First Worldbuilding with vibe-based Storytelling Oh and uh, cover is temporary. Better than AI art, it's deranged, its Foxtale. ====================================================== Book is officially finished! Details of what's to come next attached at the end of chapter 48.

The Last Queen {Thranduil FanFiction}
An account of the last days of the ElvenQueen. Lairiel of Lorien was a Telerian elleth, and guardian of the Valar's creation. A chance encounter, on a political exchange to Greenwood, has her fate entwined with that of the Great Forest - she chose Oropher's son. She is Thranduil's most beloved treasure, and the light of the people she so readily embraced. But, as Greenwood falls into darkness even the King and his Queen are not immune to the evil of Sauron. ***Note: I wrote this story ten years ago, and I'm keeping it very much to its original form and plot. Therefore this is not a Gundabad story, nor a dragon fire plot. It is not influenced by the hobbit movies. It was how I imagined the tragedy of the ElvenKing, and was my very first fanfiction*** ***Disclaimer: All recognisable characters belong to the master Tolkien. Without him we would never have had such wonderful freedom of imagination. Lairiel and Ellenya are my own beloved OCs, their stories do belong entirely to me.***Complete
