Would you sail into uncharted waters for answers?
Rae is a pirate, by circumstance not choice. After her life was ripped from her when her father was taken by warriors from a distant kingdom and branded a traitor, she fell in with the sea thieves and assassins of the Kingdom of Alkisar. For the last twelve years she's been working for Malakai, the Pirate King, whom she owes a life debt. But when her wind-slinger magic, strangely colored eyes, and mysterious past mark her as a target by savage powers both within Pirate's Jaws and across the Sixth Realm, she becomes desperate for the truth. Rae may be willing to pay almost any price for answers, but when the Pirate King threatens her freedom, she decides she's done being someone else's puppet.
In a realm where all manner of creatures exist and magic is as valuable as money, Rae sets out on a journey to find her father and get answers about her past with the help of a few daring pirates and unlikely dreamers, a swashbuckling bastard, and her spirit guide, Caladrius. What she discovers surprises her and she realizes she may not know the world, or herself, as well as she thought.

Dragonfire: Celestia
In the world of Dragonfire, anything is possible. Flying, teleportation, invisibility, the ability to create a lightning storm on a whim...anything can be done. And anything can exist. Goblins, Orcs, Dragons, Dwarves, Kitsunes...there are countless races, and countless abilities. A world of fantasy in which anything is achievable. Or so it seems. After all, everything has a cost. And victory...victory is the most costing of all. Across the Black Sea, guarded by the Leviathan, there exists a large land separated into five territories. Celestia, Arvan, Ingres, Illicen, and Arumi. These five territories are named after those who control them. At least, that is how it used to be. From a distant land, the Snake Kingdom managed to bypass the Leviathan, and invade these five territories! Under the guidance of General Clauve, they crushed everyone in sight, until their only remaining opponent was Celestia. But they made a mistake, and Celestia capitalized. In a crushing defeat, the Snake Kingdom was bested after nearly 8 years of conflict. After the war ended, Albedo Aria, a soldier from Celestia, was promoted to the rank of General. But she didn't feel like a hero. Suffering from severe PTSD, this story follows her as she tries to overcome the nightmares of war, and move on from the terrible things she was forced to do. She was raised to be a soldier, and joined the war from the age of eleven. As a soldier of Celestia, she could never, and still cannot ever disobey any orders. When war calls, she must answer. Whether she is truly willing to or not. But after four years without conflict, surely things couldn't reach that state again? Or perhaps that isn't the case. After all, her dear cousin must deliver a letter to her. A letter telling her that the Snake Kingdom is on the rise in their very own land. A letter telling her that every sliver of happiness she has gained after the war ended will be lost. A letter telling her that she must return to war...Complete
