Zordania
"Feel that?" My breath brushed against her ear. "That burning power, running through your veins like molten lava?" She shuddered. Her hands trembled. "Don't fight it," I continued, voice steady, coaxing. "Welcome it. Let it blaze. You can own it; you can control it." Her breath hitched as the flames surged in her palms, crackling with untamed energy. Her fingers twitched as though they ached to let loose. But I wasn't done. Slowly, I reached out and took her hands, without pausing to think about the damage her fire could do to me. The instant my skin met hers, a shock ran through my body and my element surged through me without warning. Ice surged from my veins, creeping over my forearms, sliding down to meet her flames.

The Cadre of Embers
•••••••••••••••• He took a step closer to her, and she took one away from him. "When two people make love, it is sensual, two hearts bonding, and caring for one another.

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. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.
