She was born a Halfling. Made a Warrior. Crowned in blood.
Xadie Durate-Greenbriar never wanted a crown.
She wanted freedom - to ride through faerie lands, no silk gowns, and to live far from the venom of court politics. But when a forgotten relic resurfaces, threatening to tip the balance of power, Xadie is thrust into a deadly game of lies, loyalty, and betrayal.
Sent to retrieve the relic with Rowan, the son of a rival king and her sworn enemy, Xadie uncovers a plot that could destroy everything she loves.
As secrets unravel and hearts betray, she must choose between duty and desire, vengeance and mercy.
Power is seductive, but thorns draw blood.
I am absolutly obsessed with Holly Black's Folk of Air seires, her books inspired me to start writing my own stories, which are currently a work in progress. Xadie's conditon is based on my own experiences with Hypoglycaemia and my blood pressure issues, as I have never seen anyone woth my condition in a book, I decided to bring it forward into my own

"Is this the fate you had in mind for me?! I'm going to die today, and NOTHING will ever come of my life! Your CHOSEN is worth nothing to you!" Tears streamed up my face, and I steeled myself for the inevitable. As I fell, I caught sight of the landscape below-a beautiful forest, rolling valleys, waterfalls, and lakes. It was breathtaking, and I felt a pang of regret that I might never set foot on that ground. I tried spreading my wings again, but the pain was unbearable. As the ground rushed up to meet me, I saw a lake almost directly below me. I could only hope it was deep enough to break my fall. With one final, desperate effort, I slowed my descent just enough to aim for the center of the water. "Gods! PLEASE SAVE ME!" I screamed, my voice torn from my throat as I hit the water with a bone-shattering force. The impact knocked the breath from my lungs, and everything went black as I sank into the depths.

Blackwood Academy Love
When Jude Duarte and her twin sister transfer to Blackwood Academy - an elite private school for the children of the rich, powerful, and morally questionable - she expects drama, not danger. But one smirk from Cardan Greenbriar changes everything. Cardan is arrogant, magnetic, and untouchable. The golden boy of Blackwood - heir to a criminal empire disguised as wealth and privilege. Jude should hate him. She does hate him. Until hate starts to feel a little too much like attraction. But Blackwood isn't just a school; it's a battleground. Beneath its polished marble halls and fencing blades lie family secrets, blood ties, and quiet wars fought between CEOs and mob bosses. And Jude's father, who claims to be "military," might just be one of the worst of them. When a brutal betrayal exposes Jude to the darkness her father tried to hide - and a rival family sets its sights on her as the perfect pawn - she and Cardan are forced to choose: destroy each other, or burn the world down together. Loyalties will snap. Lines will blur. And in a place where love is as dangerous as violence - the only rule is don't get caught bleeding. All rights of the characters go to Holly Black - the author of The Cruel Prince series.Complete
