Liya Virelan knows-without a shred of doubt-that there are only twelve realms. Her brothers scoured the world to prove it. So when the King of Varkesh-the same one who had her brother executed without cause-asks her to lead an expedition in search of a so-called thirteenth realm, she agrees for one reason only:
Revenge.
Liya has trained her whole life in secret, sharpening her skills within the palace walls with one goal in mind: vengeance. And this mission? It might just be her chance to finally take it.
What she didn't plan for is the runaway prince who sneaks onto her crew with a fake name and a suspiciously charming smile. Or the fact that he's joined by a questionably named best friend who may or may not be the brains of the operation.
Kaelen Thorne doesn't see himself as a runaway prince. He prefers the term strategic adventurer. His plan is simple: pose as a Varkeshi soldier, find the hidden realm before anyone else does, and claim it for Kolgrym. Easy, right?
Except for the minor complication of falling madly in love with the sharp-eyed, emotionally unavailable soldier girl who absolutely does not want anything to do with him.
But the thirteenth realm is real. And it's not what any of them expected. Magic is waking. Old truths are unraveling. And Liya might have to choose between the revenge she's lived for... and the boy who won't stop making her laugh when she's trying to stay mad.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete

House of Ash and Gold
Power wears many faces. Magic is just one of them. When a sickly noble heir stumbles upon a strange gift - the ability to see through the veil of power. He sets out to rebuild his crumbling house, not with sword or spell... but with silver, strategy, and secrets. But in a Kingdom where strength is currency and weakness gets buried, Cael Varissen must learn fast: wealth is fragile, war is inevitable, and magic? It's far older and hungrier than anyone cares to admit. What if the most dangerous magic wasn't in spells, but in shrewd business deals... and dangerous alliances of the heart? In a world where political ambition, economic strategy, and forbidden desires hold as much sway as any ancient power, every alliance comes with a price. This is the heart of House of Ash and Gold. ... What to expect: Slow-burn political fantasy with teeth Layered worldbuilding A subtle, mysterious magic system Romance threaded through ambition What NOT to Expect: Instant overpowered MC Fast-food pacing Harem or shallow romance One-note villains Endless exposition dumps
The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.Complete

Against the System
