In a world ruled by elemental covens, power decides who lives-and who burns.
Nova Vale never knew she had magic. Her mother hid it from her, keeping her safe-or so she thought. But when power she can't control explodes in front of the wrong eyes, she's dragged into the Keep-a marble-walled prison where cruelty wears the mask of tradition.
Under constant watch by a cold, unyielding enforcer, Nova is pushed to her limits in rituals meant to break her. Yet whispers of rebellion stir in the shadows... and a bond with a legendary creature hints at a destiny the covens never saw coming.
Her magic isn't a curse.
It's a threat.
And the Keep is about to learn what happens when you cage the wrong witch.

The Sleeping Fortress
Blood remembers fire - but mercy decides what burns.

As rival Houses scheme and the Council demands obedience, the fortress stirs, whispering in dreams of the war that once shattered it.

The Sleeping Fortress begins The Vale Chronicles - a dark-romantic fantasy of conscience, power, and the mercy that binds them both.

Children of The Fallen
"I didn't think that the first night at my new college would end with me getting my back broken. And not in the fun way. I'm kind of annoyed about it. Not how I wanted to kick this year off. I got into my dream school, University of Miami. Big change from New York but I've loved this school since I found out what college was. I was looking forward to this for a while. I had decided to spend my first two years at a nearby community college to get my pre rec classes out of the way and save money. It was definitely a good idea, but the vibe of the school was: go to class, go home, and that's it. So to get to a big university I was excited for that cliche "college experience." I was excited to get shitfaced at a frat party, hookup with random guys, join a sorority and probably regret it. It's where you're gonna make the most mistakes, I mean it's the first time most people have complete, or almost complete freedom. Every adult ever always told me "college is where you're supposed to find yourself" and I was really hoping that would reign true. To kick the year off I wanted to have a fun night out with my new roommates who weirdly didn't have any social media so I was moving in with no prior knowledge of these two other than their names Victoria Brooks and Chloe Whitlock. I wanted to get to know them and get to know the area I'd be living in for the next two years. So it was pretty inconvenient for this shit to happen on the first fucking night." * * * * * Morgan Sinclair had expectations for her junior year at her new college: parties, roommates, clubs, friends, even classes and assignments. Among those expectations, was not: finding out about the existence of vampires and the fact that she is one. After one *almost* fatal night out she's forced to navigate a whole new reality. Vampires, lycans, a psychopathic father, betrayal, and blood- and it'll all take her away from everything and everyone she's ever known.Complete

The Obsidian Academy
In a world where the line between magic and madness is razor-thin, The Obsidian Academy is a place of brutal education for the young and the gifted. Located on the fringes of reality, the academy trains its students not only in arcane magic but in the darker arts of manipulation, control, and subversion. Here, the stakes are not just high-they are existential. Every student is forced to confront their own demons, both internal and external, and survive the trials that test their limits. Alara Greyraven, a young woman with a past she can't remember, is reluctantly enrolled at the Academy after an inexplicable event marks her as one of the "chosen." With no knowledge of why she's here or what she's meant to do, Alara must navigate the tangled webs of deception, betrayal, and forbidden desires that pervade every corner of the school. Alongside her are a select group of outcasts and misfits who, for reasons they cannot explain, have been bound to her fate. The rules of the Academy are simple: Power is the ultimate currency. Survival is a game-and the players must sacrifice everything to win. Magic here is not just about spells; it's about power, influence, and control over both the living and the dead. As Alara uncovers the truths buried within the academy's obsidian walls, she must decide who she can trust-and who she can use-for her own ascent to the top. But in a place where nothing is ever truly what it seems, she must also confront whether the price of power is too great to pay.Complete
