Two sisters. One world in ruins. A bond broken by betrayal.
In the dying remnants of Earth, Kael and Nira Vire have only ever had one rule: stay together or die alone.
Disguised as boys to survive in the brutal rebel faction known as the Irons, the sisters have lived by blade, instinct, and silence. But during a critical mission, Nira hesitates-just once-and it costs their entire unit their lives.
Devastated and furious, Kael walks away, leaving her sister behind in the ash.
Alone and heartbroken, Nira is found by the enemy-the tyrannical Solar Regime. But instead of executing her, they mold her into something new: a weapon, a symbol, a soldier with a cause. Trained to fight and taught to forget, Nira prepares for the Solar Trials, the Regime's blood-soaked spectacle of control.
Meanwhile, Kael claws her way back from the wreckage, now part of a rebel movement planning to bring the Regime down from the inside. Rumors swirl of a deadly girl on the enemy's side-one with Nira's eyes.
As the sisters head toward the same battlefield, one fighting to destroy the system, the other to uphold it, they'll both face a terrible truth:
Sometimes, the person you love most is the one standing in your way.

No Saints In District Nine
In a future where the elite trade lives like currency and loyalty is enforced through collars and control, survival isn't a right-it's a contract. Miku and Clara were just sixteen when they escaped a death maze with nothing but blood in their mouths and hope in their lungs. They thought that meant forever. It wasn't. Clara vanished. Word said she was dead. Traded. Sold. Miku learned to stop trusting word. Three years later, Miku is no longer the girl Clara kissed in the ruins. She's a weapon now. Hardened. Trained. Built for vengeance. The mission is simple: locate the missing. Extract, if alive. Eliminate, if not. Until she finds Clara again-alive, changed, and wearing the collar of the enemy. Torn between orders and memory, between the girl she once knew and the one the world turned Clara into, Miku has to make a choice: finish the mission... or finish what they started. No heroes. No safe endings. Just two broken girls caught in a system that doesn't care if they live or burn.Complete
A Sunken Truth-Book One
Kaia Rynn has spent her life surviving on the floating islands, diving the ruins of the drowned world for relics to trade. But diving isn't her only skill - she's a thief, nimble with her hands and unafraid to pickpocket the wealthy traders who would never spare her a coin otherwise. Orphaned young and raised by her sister Elara, Kaia has lived alone ever since Elara mysteriously vanished six years ago. The whispers say pirates took her. Kaia has never stopped searching. One night, Kaia's thieving streak finally catches up with her. She's caught in the act by a sharp-eyed stranger - a man named Cassius Vale, who proves far more dangerous than he first seems. Instead of turning her in, Cassius strikes a deal: he'll keep her secret, if she helps him hunt down the pirates who stole his daughter. Reluctantly, Kaia agrees. What begins as an uneasy alliance becomes a partnership built on shared scars. Their search takes them across the drifting islands and into the abyssal depths, where rival divers, ruthless merchants, and storm-lashed seas are the least of their dangers. Kaia and Cassius uncover fragments of the past - relics that hint at pirate strongholds, hidden maps, and even the fate of the family they lost. But the closer they come to the truth, the more perilous their path becomes. The pirates rule the waters with blood and fire, and not all who vanish into their grasp come back the same. As Kaia and Cassius navigate betrayal, discovery, and the growing bond between them, they must face the hardest truth of all: finding their family might not mean saving them.Complete
Blade of Will
Cornelia Aurora Estawrozai, wielder of the royal family's magic and heir to the Lasmorthian throne... doesn't exist. The day she was born, she had a sister-an identical twin, born mere minutes later. What should have been a moment of joy quickly turned to dread. It was only the second time in Lasmorthian history that identical twins were born into the royal line, and the first time had ended in betrayal and civil war. Both twins had shared equal magic, but a rewritten contract ensured only the elder's bloodline would inherit it. That didn't stop the younger from turning on his brother, fracturing the kingdom in two. So this time, there was no celebration. There was fear. To prevent history from repeating itself, it was decided: the younger twin would be sent away. The elder would remain-but stripped of her inheritance. The royal magic would instead pass to a younger brother yet to be born. But their mother had other plans. Following a cryptic prophecy from the Oracle, she made a fateful choice. The twins were switched. The eldest, magic and all, was cast out. And the world never knew. Now, that girl-who named herself Sky-lives free of titles, crowns, and destiny. After escaping an abusive adoptive family and discovering her dormant power, she joined a guild of assassins led by a secretive, enigmatic master. Trained in magic, shadow, and steel, Sky has one goal: to be strong enough to choose her own fate. Whether she returns to claim the power stolen from her is not for others to decide. The throne may call to her. But only she will choose whether to answer.
An Illegal Dose of Love
Hero, the only daughter of an arm dealing father, comes back to her home from a vacation well spent with her father in Bora bora. From the beautiful sandy beaches of the sunny pacific island, to the Alaskan chilly air, she is forced to return to her home far too soon. School was schedueled to start, unfortunately. Never in her life would she have guessed that a pack of wolves -were-wolves to be exact- had taken refuge, from a reason they absolutely refuse to tell her about, in her house with the most frightnening of secrets and had nestled in it. Quite comfortably, might I add. She was even more stricken back by the so called Alpha, with his mesmerizing, enticing saphire blue eyes that could pierce through her very soul and peer into it, and that, oh, so alluring smirk that makes Hero's knees weak -a feeling no man had ever made her feel before. Secrets unravel and horrifying truths uncover before Hero's very eyes. Ones she never, ever, knew about of herself. And it all spirals downwards from there when the Alpha confesses to her that she's his Mate, his other half. Now, she is left to deal with a possessive Alpha who keeps repeating that she belongs to him- much to Hero's dismay- and a pack of horny dogs while balancing school. *******Complete
