Book Two of The Ashes of Edrathis Trilogy
Everything she thought she knew was a lie.
Blair Nightwyck was raised to hate monsters.
To hunt them.
To believe her parents were slaughtered by the Shifters who tore the world apart.
But monsters wear many faces.
And the blood running through her veins isn't pure - it's ancient. It's powerful. It's forbidden.
Her father was General Thomas Rivers, the Dragon of Volaris.
Her mother, Princess Lyra of Solaria, the daughter of the last Fae Queen.
And Blair... is the lost heir of two extinct kingdoms.
The truth is poison - and now it's in her hands.
If she embraces it, she could raise Solaria from its ashes and restore the kingdom her mother died for.
If she rejects it, she could destroy everything her father once fought to protect.
And standing at the center of her war-torn heart is Malachi Ryerson - the man she swore to hate, the dragon she was taught to fear, and the king she was never supposed to love.
He's shown her mercy when he should have killed her.
He's bled for his people when the world branded him a monster.
And he's the one secret she can't bury, no matter how deep she runs.
As kingdoms prepare for war and truth becomes a weapon, Blair must decide which crown she will wear-
the one forged by blood,
or the one forged by fire.
Because love may save her kingdom...
or burn it to the ground.

A Crown of Ash and Echoes
The Shattered Crowns Trilogy continues in Book II - A Crown of Ash and Echoes, "Every crown carries echoes of the lies it was built upon." When Aurora Valenstar wakes in the dead lands beyond the Border, she believes she's the last living remnant of a kingdom gone to ash. But the truth waiting in the shadows is far crueler. She has not been stolen by monsters - she has been delivered to them. The realm of the Fae, once dismissed as myth, breathes again in ruin and vengeance. Its ruler, the enigmatic and terrifying Shadow-Crowned King, claims Aurora's blood is the key to restoring what her father destroyed centuries ago. As Aurora begins to piece together the truth of her captivity, every thread of loyalty she's ever known begins to unravel. Her father - the Peacekeeper, the healer, the man she once believed incapable of cruelty - waged a silent war of genocide. The "monster" she was taught to fear was not the one beneath her bed, but the one sitting on her father's throne. And as the veil between light and shadow thins, she begins to understand the depth of his sins - and the cost of the peace he built upon stolen lives. Worse still, Aurora's heart fractures with a second betrayal: her first love, long thought dead, lives. Alexander Darksong - the boy who once called her Little Star - now stands at the right hand of the very king who took her. His survival is not a miracle. It's a wound. He is no longer hers, and the loyalty in his violet eyes now belongs to her enemies. Between the Fae who see her as salvation, the king who sees her as a weapon, and the ghosts of two men who broke her heart in different ways, Aurora must decide what she truly stands for. Will she fight for the kingdom that raised her on lies, or the people her blood was taught to hate? As old gods stir and crowns crack under the weight of their secrets, Aurora learns that monsters are not born - they're made. And sometimes, they wear the face of the man who once kissed you goodnight.Complete

My blue eyes fumed in anger as my wolf was released. I am a white wolf. Liam's eyes bulged as he saw my true form. He then smiled ready to fight. I lunged for the bastard, knocking him to the ground. His other minions rushed towards me all attaching me at once. I attempted to fight against them. They kept coming on me and it was becoming too much for me to handle. My fur had gone from a snowy white, to a bloody reddish color. So much blood. I laid down. Maybe just a minute of rest. I saw Liam walk up to me. He looked down at me and smiled. "What's wrong little wolf? No more energy?" He smirked. Then Liam was suddenly thrown to the damp ground by something, a jet black wolf with glowing red eyes. He was beautiful with his gleaming coat and strong legs. The black wolf left Liam on the ground and fiercely killed all of Liam's minions easily. He wasn't finished with his prowl, he turned back to face Liam but realized that the pureblooded vampire had already run off. Then I hear a deep growl. "Mate", and my heart stops. ------------ Alexandra's pack is mercilessly destroyed by werewolves most hated species: vampires. The species has hated each other since the beginning of time.

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.Complete
The Bloom of Ruin
The gods are silent now - their echoes swallowed by the dying light of two kingdoms that once believed themselves eternal. Starlight flickers, shadows fracture, and the air itself trembles with the memory of what was lost. The peace that was promised is gone; the balance that was stolen demands its debt. Aurora Valenstar has become both salvation and curse - the last bloom of a kingdom built on stolen dawns. Her blood carries the seed of renewal, yet her heart bears the mark of ruin. Bound to the Shadow-Crowned King by fate and fire, she must choose whether to save the world that betrayed her or the monster who might still be its only hope. Love becomes a weapon. Mercy, a death sentence. And every truth she uncovers unravels the last threads of who she once was. In the depths of the Shadowlands, Killian Varyn faces the prophecy he's long denied: that to heal the dying realm, he must destroy the one soul tethered to his own. But even monsters can tremble when the light they feared begins to reach for them. When gods return to reclaim what was theirs, he will learn that the line between devotion and damnation is drawn in her blood. As Lumeris crumbles and the Veil cracks, blood will turn against blood, the skies will burn, and the last crown will fall not with a roar - but with a whisper. For in this final reckoning, life will only bloom through ruin, and the end will come not in shadow... but in light too bright to survive. Fate cannot be rewritten. It can only be fulfilled. And when the last petal falls, even the gods will kneel.Complete
