A phantom pulls strings from the shadows, influencing a never ending war.
Meanwhile, Lyra, a tinkerer and inventor, finds herself in the midst of discovering a new technology that would send the Overworld into a new era while their neighboring country, the Underworld, lies in eternal darkness.
However, tragedy strikes as a death would lead her from a path of discovery to a path of revenge, hardening her heart and her skill to overcome what obstacles lay ahead. Creating unlikely allies and a love she would've never imagined in her battle worn journey.
What will she sacrifice; her humanity or the one she's destined to be with?

Twenty years after the last great war, what's left of humanity survives under the Dominion- An iron-fisted regime that controls the only clean air left on earth. The surface is a wasteland of ash, storms, and death.... or so everyone's been told. Kael Draven once enforced the Dominion's will.

To stop the Dominion, he'll have to cross the dead lands- and he can't do it alone. Lyra Vance has survived her whole life out here. Reckless, volatile, and untamed, she's the kind of woman who'd rather burn the world than bow to it. She doesn't trust Kael, She shouldn't. But when their paths collide, survival forces an alliance neither wants- and sparks a war that could change everything. In a world built on ashes and secrets, trust is dangerous. Love is lethal. And the truth could kill them both. ASHFALL - Where the sky burns, and the survivors are the ones who learn how to fight back.
FIRECRACKER ʰʲᵖ
Elestara Lyra Black was everything a proper pureblood girl should be: elegant, cunning, coldly brilliant, and thoroughly unimpressed by fame or foolishness. She walked like a queen-in-waiting and proudly bore her mother's maiden name. On top of that, she was also Draco's twin sister. And Harry Potter? He was everything she was raised to despise: reckless and impulsive, too brave for his own good, and determined to get her to notice him. They were Lily and James in the next life, only Lily was a girl with hair the color of starlight and eyes the color of frost. She was a star, Harry's star, and most of all, a firecracker.

The Girl Who Fixed the War
She was never meant to exist in this time. But without her, none of them would have. In the final battle of Hogwarts, a stray curse strikes Hermione Granger's Time Turner, hurling her decades into the past-straight into the heart of the First Wizarding War. Blood-adopted by the Potters and going by the alias Lyra, she finds herself among a generation not yet broken by war: James and Lily, Sirius, Remus... and Regulus Black. As she navigates shifting alliances, manipulates Death Eater politics, and dismantles Horcruxes before they're even made, Hermione refuses to let another generation die for a war they never chose. But rewriting history comes at a cost, and the more she changes, the less room time has for her. Falling for Regulus Black was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming a myth. A story about sacrifice, second chances, and the quiet power of choosing peace. Because not every hero is remembered-some are erased to make room for the lives they saved.Complete
THE CURSED VEIL OF SERATHYN
In the mystical kingdom of Serathyn, an ancient curse haunts the royal bloodline. Every firstborn daughter bears the mark of the Veil-a dark enchantment said to either unleash ruin or restore forgotten magic. Princess Lyra, born with silver eyes and cursed veins, is feared even by her own court. She is the prophecy incarnate, destined to either free her realm-or doom it forever. On the night of the Eclipse Festival, Lyra's dormant powers erupt, tearing open a rift that awakens shadow beasts, whispers of a long-lost twin, and a war that could swallow the kingdom whole. Forced to flee into exile, Lyra finds herself hunted by assassins, betrayed by blood, and pursued by the Warden of Hollow Flame-a mysterious protector with secrets as ancient as the Veil itself. Torn between duty and desire, Lyra's heart becomes a battlefield. A forbidden romance kindles with a sworn enemy. A lost twin may rise as her rival-or her ruin. And as kingdoms fall to darkness, she must choose: Will she break the Veil and rewrite destiny? Or become its eternal queen? Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Shadow and Bone, and The Cruel Prince, this dark fantasy romance is filled with forbidden love, twisted fates, magical courts, and a heroine who must rise or burn with her crown.Complete
Black (J. Cameron) (HP/Twilight crossover)
Lyra Black is the daughter of Sirius Black. She's been through a lot throughout her seventeen years of life. As soon as she turned seventeen, she ran away from her old life and went straight to the States. She hoped to have a new life, away from all things to do with the Wizarding World, other than her magic and money of course. The Dark Lord is rising in ranks, meaning more and more people are dying or becoming Death Eaters. Being a pure blood Slytherin meant Lyra was one of the main people chosen to be a Death Eater. Lyra refused to be on the dark side, but at the same time, she refused to work under Dumbledore. Dumbledore was a joke, and she seen straight through his lies. When Lyra went to the States, she kept in contact with her uncle, Remus Lupin, and his wife, Nymphadora Tonks. Lyra loved Lupin and Tonks more than anything, so it hurt for her to leave them behind, but she had to get away to stay alive and protect everyone she loved. She had lost almost everyone, and she refused to be the reason she lost anyone else. Moving to Forks, Washington was a huge change. She didn't know what to expect when she moved there, but she really didn't expect to find shapeshifters and vampires close to where she lived. She was different as well, but she believed she was alone. She didn't expect to find someone to love, nor did she expect for things to fall apart around her more than they already had.
