Atalanta's life has been anything but fair-a cruel father, a broken mother, and the crushing responsibility of raising her younger siblings alongside her older brother. Books are her only escape, the one place where her world fades and adventure, love, and magic take its place. But when an attack at the dock leaves her drowning, the universe answers in the most unexpected way: by dropping her into the very pages of her favorite fantasy series.
Only... it's not the story she remembers. Eighteen years have passed since the final chapter. The legendary heroes are now parents, and their world has changed. And in this new reality, Atalanta's arrival is anything but ordinary.
Lucian, the formidable and enigmatic son of the original heroes, rescues her from the lake. Powerful, feared, and loyal to the truth, Lucian is intrigued by the strange girl who knows too much about his family's past. As suspicion turns into curiosity, and curiosity into something deeper, the question remains-why was Atalanta brought here, and what role is she meant to play in this unwritten sequel?
A story of found family, unexpected love, and rewriting fate, this is a journey where the line between fiction and reality disappears-and a girl lost in the pages may be the key to saving more than just herself.

"Overall, I think it's a great book and something I'd expect to see on a shelf in a bookstore somewhere." "I read another chapter and devoured the whole damn thing over an afternoon." "All-in-all the book was thoroughly enjoyable and very professionally written. Definitely better than almost everything else that I have encountered on Wattpad... it was a compelling read."

First Apprentice
A riveting coming of age story about an orphaned dracon shifter's struggle to control her own fate. "Black as a moonless night, might makes right," Joel whispered the old saying under his breath. His fingers clenched around my wrist before he released me and stepped away, his aura flashing with yellows and spring greens - excited and amused. Mostly excited. Definitely not afraid. "Precisely," I said. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched Grandfather's deep purple aura turn orange. Feigned disappointment. In his opinion, aura reading was a potential weakness and one he never hesitated to exploit. He only broadcast his emotions when he wanted someone to read them. I rolled my eyes. "Stop acting so disappointed, Grandfather. This is what you wanted, isn't it? Why else would he-" I nodded to Joel "-be here? Our world is beneath his notice unless you invited him." "Lured," Joel supplied helpfully. So I wasn't the only one Grandfather tricked. "Tell me, Grandfather. Did you want Director Nease dead?"Complete

Destiny
In the beginning, there was nothing. Just a vast void of nothing. All consuming darkness. And then there was cold. Ice. The ice spread from the core of the earth to everything until the world was formed. And then there was heat. For a while there was war between heat and ice. They fought for dominion over the world. Ice was the first and believed it was to be in charge. Heat supported more life and believed it should be allowed to rule. Eventually, when both almost destroyed the world Ice had created, they decided to merge and rule together, to release both their powers over the world and create life. They did that and then they went to sleep, dormant in the village of Azarath, the village where the first witches were born. The village where it all began. ******************** "What am I? I'm not human as we all thought, that's for sure. I'm not a witch, I can't cast a spell to save my life! I'm not a vampire as the absence of the speed and fangs indicate. I'm not a werewolf as my remaining on two legs every full moon proves so what am I?" Kat shouted to the winds as they roared around her in the clearing she stood in. "Aren't you gonna answer me?!" she asked again, tears rolling out of her eyes as she began to rise above the ground, the power inside her threatening to overwhelm her. "You are nothing and you are everything" the reply finally came, silent but still able to be heard above the fierce winds. And then all of a sudden there was silence. There was nothing. ******************* This is book 1 of The Destined Five series. The other books can be found on my profile.Complete
