All is well in the Tridom. Wars have stopped, the people are happy and money is flowing freely. It seems that everything is going to be fine.
Except it's not.
Unbeknownst to the denizens of the Tridom, an ancient evil is returning. An evil with dark intentions, a powerful army and worst of all, a never-ending supply of snarky comments. They might not know it, but these people need heroes. Strong, confident heroes.
Unfortunately, what they got, was Blue Cyantam, Jenna Sedrays and Ty Zurasus. A mage who hasn't been trained properly, a thief who is too curious for her own good and an ex-bandit who is too lazy do get anything done.
These three adventurers are forced to create a companionship and save the people of the Tridom.
Whether they like it or not.

Her Name Was Magic
She was born from prophecy. She fell in love with a girl who wasn't in it. Eira was meant to save the realm or destroy it-depending on who you asked. Bound to a forgotten star, hunted by nobles, and feared by her own coven, she was trained to lead but never taught to feel. Then came Lyra: wild-hearted, vine-blooded, and utterly untouchable. A warrior with secrets of her own and eyes that made Eira forget every rule she'd ever followed. As rebellion brews and ancient magic stirs beneath the city, love might be their greatest power-or the thing that unravels them both. Witches. Queerness. Betrayal. Magic that blooms and burns. If the world ends, it'll be because Eira loved her anyway.Complete
A Heart Untamed
Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.Complete
We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story.
