Letters from the Other Side
She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.

The Atheil Chronicles: A Call to Fire
All her life, Ariana Lucade had lived on the border of the forest, happy and free beneath the reaching branches of the trees that she loved so much. She had always been content with her life exactly the way that it was: she had her mom, her cat, and her forest to keep her company, and she was sure that that was all that she would ever need. Never worrying about the future, never wanting more than what she already had, Ariana spent her days amongst the trees, letting her mind do the wandering for her while she kept her own feet planted firmly on the ground. That is, until she meets a mysterious stranger one night on a path that never should have been there in the first place. In that one act, Ariana's whole life is thrown into chaos and she's introduced to a world that she never could have imagined existed. Things aren't quite as magical as they seem, though, and Ariana soon finds out that the forest holds much darker secrets than she could have ever dared to dream. This is Book 1 in a 4 part series. Book 2 is ongoing and titled The Atheil Chronicles: A Call to Blood. This book has mature scenes and the corresponding chapters toward the end of the book are marked with Trigger Warnings.Complete
The Hollow Prince
COMPLETED. *NSFW* Auralie doesn't believe in fae stories-not the ones whispered by dying villagers, not the ones about cursed woods or monsters that eat your heart. But when girls begin to vanish and strange symbols bleed from the bark of the forest, she crosses the veil in search of answers. What she finds is him. Unmoving. Inhuman. Wearing a crown of antlers and eyes like cut emeralds, sharp with amusement. He speaks in riddles. Smiles like a threat. And calls her little moth, like a name he's been saving. The first time they meet, she draws his blood. The second, he offers her a bargain. The third, he consumes her. The Hollow Prince says worse things hunt her now-creatures that wear her face, sing her name, and slip into her dreams. He claims he's the only thing standing between her and the dark. But the deeper Auralie goes, the more twisted the forest becomes-and the harder it is to tell whether the prince is her captor, her shield, or the very thing she was warned to fear. There is a curse. A game. And a price that was never hers to pay.Complete
Fae of Death
**[WARNING: this is bad. Read with your own discretion. Editing work was sloppy and story was a let-down.]** **Completed** Sera thought "aging out" of foster care was her biggest threat. She didn't expect to wake up in a violet sky, staring into the eyes of a man who breathes fire. As the Riftwalker, Sera's magic is a beacon that brings the Fae world to its knees. But she doesn't want to be a queen or a savior-she just wants to survive the courts that see her as a vessel rather than a person. From the quiet of the human realm to the catastrophic fractures of the Eternal Flame, this is the story of a girl who was never meant to be human, and the magic that finally broke her.Complete
Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete
