The Secret City
Lady Aria of Li-Aval feels like a prisoner, with a magnificent manor as her cage. Her father hides her from the rest of the world because Aria has hair like strands of gold. Literally, her hair is gold. When Aria's father tries to marry her off to an elderly man, she takes her deceased mother's necklace and runs away with her servant, Tina. They stumble upon Torenth, a city hidden behind a waterfall, and the Guardians welcome her into their castle like family. Lord Deric tries to win her heart, but Aria's eyes are on Owen, the shy blacksmith. When Aria finds out she is the next Guardian of Torenth according to a prophecy, she must figure out a way to keep her father out of Torenth. For if she cannot be the next Guardian, Torenth will be lost forever. Note: I wrote this ten years ago when I was 14 so it is rather short! Only 24,000 words.Lengkap
The Magic Within
Alaric has always felt out of place in his small village, but everything changes when an unexpected event awakens a dormant power within him. Thrust into the ancient and mysterious Eldewood, he begins a journey of self-discovery and magical training under the guidance of the enigmatic wizard Vesperius. As he learns to control the magic coursing through him, Alaric discovers that he is no ordinary wizard-he is a vessel for a long-lost, ancient power that many would do anything to control. As Alaric faces trials that test not only his magical abilities but his courage and resolve, he begins to uncover hidden truths about the forces vying for his power. Enemies both seen and unseen lurk in the shadows, and Alaric soon realizes that his destiny is bound to something far greater-and far darker-than he ever imagined. He must navigate treacherous alliances, the constant threat of betrayal, and the unrelenting pressure to master the magic inside him before those who seek to use it for their own destructive ends succeed. In this epic tale of magic, danger, and self-discovery, Alaric must find the strength to rise above the challenges before him and choose the path that will determine not only his future but the fate of the world itself. The Magic Within is a story of transformation, of learning to wield power responsibly, and of confronting the darkness within and around us.

Dragon Bound - The Saga of Flames and Frost
Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Lengkap

For a second her face looked very serious, but then she smirked at me again. "Going for it tonight I see?" she said and raised an eyebrow at me."Do you run away if I say yes?" I asked, taking her hand in mine. My heart did a flip as she shook her head. She closed her eyes as I slowly leaned against her and tilted my head. I let one of my hands on her neck. I felt her breath against my skin as I closed my eyes as well. My lips brushed against hers. - Chapter elevenLengkap
