She carries the most powerful gem in the realm... and it's slowly killing her.
In a world ruled by powers and ancient magic, an innocent girl, Aurelia Murrelle is bound to Slyphrite, a sentient green gemstone pulsing with elemental energy. Feared by kingdoms and hunted by mages, she is both weapon and warning-born to command life and death itself.
But power comes at a price.
Every time Aurelia calls on Slyphrite's power, it drains a piece of her soul. And now, as the astral veil begins to thin and dark forces rise from forgotten realms, she must choose: fight for a world that fears her... or become the storm that ends it.
A blade drawn.
A prophecy broken.
A girl made of light and sacrifice.

The Airbone Fate [COMPLETED]
Arianna Sapphire always thought her life was ordinary-quiet days, familiar faces, and dreams that never reached beyond the stars above her window. But everything changed on that night. A sacrifice was made-one that tore her from the only world she knew and thrust her into another. One decision, one unraveling truth, and her simple life was gone forever. Whispers of royalty and magic soon followed. Arianna discovers that she is no ordinary girl-she is the lost heir to the mystical realm of Enchancia, bearer of the legendary Diamond Sapphire. Within her flows the ancient power of air, a force once guarded by her ancestors, now awakened in her. But with that power comes great danger-especially when the kingdom's most feared enemies, the Dark King and his merciless son Cyrus, set their sights on her. They want her gem. Her magic. Her life. To protect her, Queen Celestia assigns her most trusted warrior: Captain Travis Collen, a strict, mysterious royal guard with a dark past and even darker blood. Known for his cold discipline and silence, Travis never expected to care-not for a mission, and certainly not for her. But as they face trials together-ambushes, betrayals, battles that scar both body and soul-walls begin to fall, and emotions begin to rise. Against all odds, love finds its way between sword fights and shattered skies. But can love survive when fate itself seems determined to pull them apart? Will Arianna learn to control the power that she was destined to? Can Travis protect her from the darkness? Step into a world of royalty, elemental magic, forbidden love, and war that tests the very limits of loyalty. Because in Enchancia, nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes, love is the most dangerous magic of all.Complete
