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.

Foxtale [Vol. 1] - Ley of the Land
Cael is cargo. Bought, sold, and about to be handed to a buyer who's already paid in something worse than gold-until he breaks his cage and runs into Kymera, a marsh so drowned in wild magic that its rivers glow and its ruins whisper. There he meets Eldinor: a white fox arcanist, alone but for a bad-tempered raven, who tells him plainly that he doesn't belong here and can't stay. Cael follows him home anyway. He has nowhere else to go and the magic waking in his blood will kill him if the fox doesn't teach him to control it. But Cael's old owners haven't given up. A wounded slaver with something to prove, an old mercenary who's tired of the blood on his hands, and an imperial sorceress who sees Cael as property of a fallen empire are all closing in on the swamp, and on the secret Eldinor has buried there for years. Some things you have to face together. And some lies are told out of love. A dark-fantasy found-family story about hope, trust, and the cost of protecting someone from the truth.

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?

A Raven's Tale
Beneath broken stone and warped metal, a solitary raven panics as it senses imminent danger. It escapes certain death mere seconds before the structure finally crashes to the ground. On soaring above the devastation, the bird spies a wet-eyed woman, and her image is oddly emblazoned on its mind. Pulled inexorably towards the north of the Eastern Kingdoms, the bird's experiences give rise to dreams of the wet-eyed woman, and eventually, memories start to slot into place:- War against the Void Lords. The Dark Portal collapsing. The necessity to shape-shift within the time portal. Consequences. Sarah. Illidan. And a journal with a spell to revert the raven to the man he truly is - Archmage Khadgar. But have Sarah and Illidan found the journal? Making his way to Stormwind, the bird overhears devastating news - he is believed dead, and a state funeral is pending. Despair fills him as his only hope to be whole again is growing ever more distant - the journal has gone undiscovered. Is there a way he can let Sarah and Illidan know he is alive? Or is he doomed to remain a raven for all time? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ All rights for the recognised World of Warcraft NPC's, lore and locations in this story belong to Blizzard.

The Barrowland Slayers
[Wattys 2022 Shortlist] The Elven battlemage Gynefra Caul-Marrel has fought many foes over her two centuries. Humans have proven the most obstinate, yet they have forgotten the lessons that led to the War of the Great Coalition. That short-lived race has now spread into the shattered former battlefields of that conflict, building villages atop barrows of ancient dead, toiling away in mines better left abandoned. When a plague spreads through their lands, she is dispatched by the Watchful Tower to investigate. The horrors are much worse than she'd imagined. An unholy alliance has formed in the depths below, which threatens to tear apart the fragile order that's existed since the War of the Great Coalition. It's not enough to simply fight-the Great Evil they face requires a unified defense from every realm. Yet even saving human refugees isn't enough to dampen the paranoia of the Inquisition. The grievances between Elves and humanity have been built over millennia and seem impossible to mend. Yet if they cannot succeed, kingdom by kingdom will fall, until the mortal world is swept clean. Under Gynefra's leadership, a new War of the Great Coalition must be waged-yet this time united in struggle against the Twisted One, who threatens to devour their realms.Complete
