All Ren wants is to be left alone. After withdrawing ten years ago to leave someone-- or something-- behind, Ren has lived alone in her cabin. Nobody to see her. Nobody to talk to her. Nobody to use her. But when a strange girl shows up at her doorstep and refuses to leave, Ren is forced to come back into life and face the world she left behind-- for better or worse. All Piya wants is to be an adventurer! Twelve years old with only her lute and the clothes on her back, Piya Nightclaw is a young bard with a big voice. She's going to make her name known, and going on huge adventures is the perfect way to do it! Unfortunately, her skill won't take her far if nobody will give her a chance. But she's gotten as far as she has by being good at what she does and refusing to listen to naysayers, and she's not about to stop. When she finds her way to a grizzled old woman living in the woods, she's thrilled-- a retired adventurer! And she's going to mentor Piya whether she likes it or not! All Tok wants is to feel safe... He did, once. Kinda. Sorta. But since the day he escaped to the surface, his entire life has turned upside down. After being captured by siren hunters and saved by a small adventuring party, he ends up traveling with them, hoping to reach a city where he can finally be protected. But the past has a way of creeping back in... Has he really escaped what he ran away from? And what happens if his past comes for his new companions? For fans of Dungeons and Dragons and other fantasy RPGs, Starsong is the story of a rag-tag party from wildly different lives, brought together by a search for stability and life. But, of course, life isn't that easy, not when you get involved in magic deals, traps, and even conspiracy along the way... -- Notes: This content the maturity of a middle-grade novel, and as such, I kindly ask all readers to refrain from swearing or inappropriate speech while commenting.

Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.
