Every year, the gods demand blood. This year, they chose her sister.
In a world where magic is forbidden and the divine rule through fear, Maeve has learned to survive by following the rules. But everything unravels on the Godswake-the sacred day each year when those marked by the Fallen are revealed and the hunt begins in the name of purity.
When her sister, Aeris, is marked, Maeve makes an impossible decision: she'll find a way to take the mark onto herself.
With the help of Dorian-Aeris's quiet, watchful best friend-Maeve is thrust into a world of ancient magic, burning cities, and whispering forests. The ritual to transfer the mark is forbidden, the price unthinkable. And if they succeed, the consequences could ignite something far more dangerous than the gods ever intended.

Unbound Relic
They chained her underground for a thousand years. Waking up was never part of the plan. She was the kingdom of Aethermoor's most dangerous secret-a girl with power so catastrophic that the Seven Throne Council chose eternal imprisonment over execution. Bound in unbreakable chains and sealed beneath cursed earth, her name was erased from history. For a thousand years, she slept in darkness. Then she woke up in a high school classroom. The chains are gone. Her magical world is gone. Instead, she finds herself trapped in the body of Ione Castellan, a seventeen-year-old loner who died four days ago. The face staring back at her in the mirror is foreign-soft ash-gray hair and gentle doe-like eyes in a striking jeweled lilac shade. This fragile body feels nothing like the warrior she once was. This world has no magic. But it has something worse: monsters that look human. Through Ione's fractured memories, she learns about Ashcroft-a city drowning in unsolved murders and serial killings. Bodies appear in alleyways carved with symbols she recognizes. Ancient symbols. From her world. Navigating high school is bewildering enough-what is "Wi-Fi"? Why do people stare at glowing rectangles all day?-but her old powers are awakening, causing lights to flicker and electronics to explode when her emotions spike. Worse, she's seeing things others can't: shadows that move with intent, and runes that shouldn't exist in this magic-less world. In a city of serial killers and ancient magic, the girl who should have stayed buried might be the only one who can stop what's coming.

The Mark of the Starflower
Aeloria has spent her life running- from guards, from hunger, from her mother's bitterness. By day she sells spices at the market. By night, she smuggles what she must to keep her brother and grandmother alive. Magic is outlawed in Pitaya, but Aeloria has always known she was different. The mark on her collarbone proves it-though she's never understood what it means. When her childhood best friend Riley returns from the royal guard stronger, older, and far more dangerous than she remembered, friendship turns to something more. But someone else has noticed Aeloria: Prince Alastair, golden heir to the throne, who is far too charming-and far too curious about her mark. Drawn into a web of forbidden romance, political intrigue, and secrets that stretch beyond her kingdom, Aeloria begins to discover her hidden power: flux, the ability to bend intention into reality. A gift-or a curse-that could change the world. But when the king himself marks her for death, Aeloria learns the truth: The Starflower is no ordinary birthmark. It is prophecy. And she is its heart.

And how far would you go to protect the ones you love? "You should know by now I'm pretty stubborn. You can't make me do anything. I don't care if the universe says we shouldn't be together.
