OUTLAWED
Elara, a young girl born into a broken world, where the royal family holds absolute power and mages-those with the ability to manipulate the elements-are hunted to the death. After witnessing the brutal murder of her father at the hands of the royal family, Elara's mother hides her daughter's identity, pretending to be the mage in order to protect her. But when the royal family learns of a new mage bearing a powerful mark, they arrive at Elara's home, and her mother sacrifices herself to save her daughter. With her mother's death haunting her and the royal family's forces hot on her trail, Elara flees into the woods, unveiling the magic she's kept hidden for years. In the depths of the forest, Elara discovers a hidden group of mages-boys and girls, families-each with their own elemental power: fire, water, earth, air, blood, metal, and ice. For the first time in her life, Elara is not alone. But her refuge is fragile. As the royal family intensifies its search, Elara must decide whether to stay hidden in the shadows or rise up with these newfound allies to reclaim her life and bring justice to those who destroyed her family. With vengeance in her heart, Elara's journey becomes a fight for survival, and a rebellion against the oppressive rule that has outlawed her very existence.
The Mourning Star
When betrayal shatters her world, Serelith Vayne is left with nothing but grief-and the shadow that answers her pain. Once a healer touched by light, she now commands a darkness born from loss itself. Haunted by what she's done and hunted by those who fear what she's become, Serelith joins a band of wanderers chasing redemption across a kingdom built on lies. But as war stirs and a cult of illusionists rises, she must decide whether her power will save the innocent-or consume her entirely. In a world where truth cuts deeper than any blade, only the broken can see what lies beneath the light. A darkly poetic fantasy about grief, found family, and the fine line between vengeance and mercy.
Stormbound

Liora, an apothecary with a gift she's spent her life hiding, lives quietly at the edge of an enchanted forest-until a battle of old magic tears through the sky and leaves a wounded stranger on her doorstep. Aric Vale is dangerous, charming, and far too familiar with the kind of power she swore never to use. But when royal hunters and ancient forces close in, Liora and Aric are thrust into a fight for survival that unravels everything they thought they knew about the world-and themselves. The deeper they journey into a realm of forgotten gods and fractured light, the more the storm inside them both begins to awaken. Caught between loyalty and desire, past and destiny, they'll have to decide whether to fight the fire growing between them... or let it burn everything in its path. Magic. Betrayal. A love born from lightning. The storm has found them-and it never lets go.
