The Embassy failed Hokora the eve four Emissaries came home in coffins instead of carriages. Now, The Land Without Time is on the brink of collapse--Akasha is just the only one willing to admit it.
When standing vigil leads to a letter from the Ambassador, the headstrong Shapeshifter finds herself playing a strange game of Roulette for the chance to avenge her former mentor, meanwhile searching for the final, missing Emissary. Her only goal? Climb the ranks of the Embassy to discover the truth behind her family's long-cold disappearance--or become human in the process.
Luckily, infiltrating the human state of Kutcani will require just that; humanity.
Unlucky for her, however, is the odd team of outcasts she's forced to partner with for the investigation. Particularly a certain lying Siren who seems to see through her every breath, right down to the core.
But as tensions in Kutcani escalate and the uprising leads down a much darker, violent path, choices will be made and spirits will be broken.
Discovering her truth, unravelling several strange disappearances, and the motives lurking underneath is only the beginning of a much more twisted crime.

Ayn's Healing
Ayn is a witch with healing powers. Shapeshifters have killed her parents and the only animals she cannot speak with are wolves. When she graduates from the Teaching Clan and finds out that she has to cross the River and live in the Wolves' Mountains for one year, she is less than amused. Kari, first-born shapeshifter Alpha, almost lost his wolf after the death of his mate. He could rise again and become the pack leader if only he would complete his training ...and find another suitable Luna. When he realizes that his second chance is his mother's guest, a daydreaming stubborn witch from across the River, he is less than amused. The bond may be a strong force, but can a witch walk the Wolves' Way and face the dangers it is paved with? **** "I need to stop..." I sigh, catching her wrist before her fingers reach the back of my neck, and I untangle her arm from me. She lingers on the recliner but now there is a big gap between our bodies. The warmth she left on my skin is quickly dissipating in the spring night. "Fine." Ayn stands and searches my eyes. Her scowl has my wolf whimper in submission and makes me curse my self-imposed hard line. "I am going to need your hoodie," she orders, stretching her hand out to me. "What?" I exclaim, briefly shocked by both the tone and the content of her words. My hands however are already executing her command, unzipping my jacket. "The last time I was able to sleep, I was covered with your hoodie. Your scent is comforting." She states it plainly as if it would be an obvious and broadly known fact. Like the Earth being round. Like two being a prime number. #1 in Healer - December 2021 #7 in Lycan - December 2022 ~95 000 words Cover photo by Jr Korpa via Unsplash Cover photo by Marc-Olivier Jodoin via Unsplash hiComplete
The Academy of Sin
In a world ruled by supernatural elites, The Academy of Sin is where power, privilege, and danger collide. Everyone knows the academy is no ordinary school-it's a proving ground for the strongest and most dangerous supernatural beings. But when Kaia Winters receives an invitation to attend, she discovers she isn't there to learn. She's there to survive. Kaia is part of a secret experiment, designed to harness the raw power of forbidden magic. Her abilities are rare and uncontrollable, and if the academy's leaders have their way, she'll either be the weapon that wins them the war-or the casualty that proves their theory wrong. Assigned to four powerful partners, each with their own dark agendas, Kaia must learn to navigate the treacherous halls of the academy. There's Alec, the brooding demon with a sinful grin and a taste for chaos. Gabriel, the angel whose icy exterior hides a burning rage. Ryder, the shapeshifter with a devil-may-care attitude and a knack for secrets. And Silas, the necromancer who sees more in the shadows than he lets on. But as Kaia unravels the mysteries of the academy, she discovers that her partners aren't just allies-they may be the only ones who can keep her alive. And as tensions rise, so does the temptation. Trusting them could cost her everything, but falling for them? That could be the deadliest sin of all.Complete

But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse isn't so safe. Vampires live down the street. Yet, unlike their blood-crazed kin, they exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to them. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. The story is being worked into an audiobook on Youtube via Text-to-Speech using ElevenLabs. Each chapter will eventually have a link. Or find me on Youtube at FaeSparksOfficial to listen to the book 1 playlist. Notes: Strong sexual content will begin in book two.
