Every witch returns from the Trials except one.
Valerie Hardy, a gifted witch who hopes to change the world, has dreamed of competing in the Trials since she was a little girl. The winner becomes the next Ascendant, spending the rest of their life alone in service to the community.
Winning is nearly impossible, but that doesn't mean Valerie can't do her best and make friends. Along with talented sweetheart Kiana and nonbinary challenger Blair, Valerie aims to reach the top and prove to herself that she's good enough to do something meaningful with her life.
Valerie has grown up supporting her autistic brother and volunteering as much as she can with her best friend, Daniela. She's ready to have her character, skills, and dedication tested. But making a real difference is about more than being good, and it may require things she doesn't expect.
Sapphic (GirlxGirl/GL), neurodiversity-affirming, and without AI. Rated PG. All art by Luna Rose unless stated otherwise.

Mirror, Mirror
Starla has a destiny, which she'll remind anyone who does or does not ask. She is an Ice Princess, a magical sorceress blessed with the power to keep the ever-advancing Winter at bay. At least, that's what she's SUPPOSED to be after a lifetime of rigorous training. However, just a year shy of embarking on her heroic journey, her life as she's known it shatters. In an accidental display of ice magic, a poor city girl named Rayna outs herself as the true Ice Princess. Amid royal scandal and Winter's intensifying cold, Starla is forced to put her jealousy and hero complex aside and train the new girl. To make things more complicated, Rayna doesn't seem to really identify with being a girl, much less a princess. As Starla and Rayna grapple with the pressure of impossible expectations they can't meet and suffocating roles they didn't ask for, can they form an unlikely alliance and prevent a frozen catastrophe?
