In a realm where fire runs through veins and power is bound by blood, love could ignite an unstoppable war...
Lyra Emberheart was born into fire-noble, brilliant, and bound to the flames that should have made her powerful. But while her magic burns bright, her body is fragile, leaving her an outcast in the elite halls of Drakehaven Academy, where strength is survival. Determined to forge her destiny beyond pity and whispers, Lyra hides behind intellect and iron will... until her new combat instructor shatters her careful world.
Commander Caius Nightforge is everything Lyra is not: ruthless, commanding, scarred by battle-and wholly forbidden. Tasked with preparing the academy's elite for war, he sees through Lyra's polished façade to the wildfire beneath. What begins as a clash of wills sparks into a volatile connection neither of them can resist.
As tensions rise across Aetherya and elemental factions move toward chaos, Lyra and Caius are drawn into a conspiracy that threatens to tear the realm apart. With war looming and their bond deepening into something dangerous, they must choose between duty and desire, survival and surrender... or risk losing everything to a love that could burn the world down.
Ember's Flight is a slow-burn, steamy fantasy romance set in a magical world of elemental power, brutal politics, and forbidden passion. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Her Name Was Magic
She was born from prophecy. She fell in love with a girl who wasn't in it. Eira was meant to save the realm or destroy it-depending on who you asked. Bound to a forgotten star, hunted by nobles, and feared by her own coven, she was trained to lead but never taught to feel. Then came Lyra: wild-hearted, vine-blooded, and utterly untouchable. A warrior with secrets of her own and eyes that made Eira forget every rule she'd ever followed. As rebellion brews and ancient magic stirs beneath the city, love might be their greatest power-or the thing that unravels them both. Witches. Queerness. Betrayal. Magic that blooms and burns. If the world ends, it'll be because Eira loved her anyway.Complete

Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving.

And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along?

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. It's slow and gentle and undemanding. It's just you and the person you love, and nothing else in the world matters." She didn't know when he'd gotten so close to her, but her eyes burned as she read the slight expression that flashed across his own eyes... sorrow, as if perhaps remembering something, or someone from his past. She didn't know why it made her chest hurt, he was only a brute after all... •••••••••••••••• Set against the enchanting backdrop of mid-18th century England, "The Cadre of Embers" unfolds the extraordinary journey of Althea Lezant, a young and unmarried woman disillusioned by societal constraints on women.
