In a world torn apart by a brutal war between the Fae and humans, Lyria, a battle-hardened leader of the Fae resistance, has always known one truth: survival is earned through bloodshed. But when she crosses paths with Corin, a deserter from the human army, everything she has ever believed begins to unravel. Corin isn't like the others-he's not here to fight, but to survive, seeking something beyond the endless cycle of violence.
As the war rages on, Lyria finds herself questioning the very foundations of the battle she's led for years. When the conflict becomes more than a fight for land and power, but a fight for the souls of those caught in its wake, she must face the ghosts of her past choices. Can mercy and understanding ever prevail in a world ruled by conflict, or is it too late to change the course of fate?
With the future of her people at stake, Lyria must decide whether to continue the war or find a way to build a fragile peace. But in a land where the line between friend and foe is blurred, and the price of peace may be more than she's willing to pay, Lyria's greatest battle may not be on the battlefield, but within her own heart.
A story of survival, sacrifice, and the quest for redemption, *The Fae Queens Gamble* explores the power of choice, the cost of war, and the hope that even in the darkest of times, change is possible.

In These Days of War
The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector? The book cover was painted by me. :) Content warning: violence, gore, explicit sexual content, mentions and depictions of death, grief, emotional manipulation/abuse, suicidal ideation, and indoctrination.
A Thread of Crimson
A single death entwined their destinies. Love made it impossible to part. When their paths cross after a grisly murder, worlds start to collide. It's supposed to be a fleeting encounter. But fate doesn't care for the lines drawn by ancient treaties and bloodstained history. As forbidden love sparks between them, unrest stirs. Whispers of war echo through both realms. The fragile peace between fae and humankind is crumbling-and within the Night Court, betrayal coils like a serpent in the dark. Aldric is torn between protecting the one man who sees him for more than the impure creature his family does. And Roman must choose between duty to his people and the love that could cost him everything. With war looming on both sides, Aldric and Roman must risk their lives-and their hearts-to defy the forces determined to tear them apart. Love was never part of the plan. But neither was war. (Will release chapters every week or so)
A Shattered Peace
In a land divided by war, two enemies are forced into an unlikely alliance. Nikolai, a charismatic and detached elven playboy, is thrust into the dangerous politics of his kingdom when a fragile peace with the Hebrews, ruled by the royal Hebrew family, is threatened. Crowe, the rebellious young prince of the Hebrews, is haunted by his royal blood and his inability to live up to expectations. He seeks solace in alcohol, shunning the duties of his title. When the kingdoms face the brink of open conflict, both men are sent on a perilous mission that will determine the fate of their people. As they journey together through war-torn lands and face ancient forces beyond their understanding, their volatile relationship slowly transforms. The bickering and disdain between them turn into something deeper, something forbidden-an undeniable attraction neither can control. But their love, as intense as it may become, is bound by the cruel constraints of their roles. With kingdoms at war, a love between an elf and a prince is a tragedy waiting to unfold. Caught between their duty and the growing feelings they have for one another, they must decide what they're willing to sacrifice in the name of peace-whether their kingdoms, their identities, or each other. In a world where magic and betrayal intertwine, can forbidden love ever survive the cost of war?Complete
