Elfo's history is a tale written in blood and sorrow.
Samara St. Claire, beloved by all, was slain by the mad wizard with the name of Lucious Zalde. Her death shattered the hearts of the people, scattering their hope like dust on the winds of time. For hundreds of years, the world bled from the wound she left behind, and Elfo, once thriving, descended into ruin. A very long time of mourning.
Halley Cross never meant to disturb the fragments of this fractured past. But in her search for her missing brother, she stumbled upon the remnants of a lost story-her soul tangled in the very fabric of time. Samara's return was no accident; it was fate.
In her quest to find her family and heal the broken land that time could not mend, Halley finds herself caught between past and present, between love and betrayal. A friend's treason a century ago cost more than life-it bound Halley to an ancient debt that now demands payment... and she must pay it with her own time.

Blood Bound, Bone Deep
Feyra has always known that her magic comes at a cost. Every time she heals, she takes the wound into herself-burning it into her skin, into her bones, into the scar over her heart that never truly fades. But pain is a small price to pay to protect the people she loves. Especially Mila-her best friend, her constant, her heart-sister. At the Academy, students train to bond with wyverns, master ancient magic, and survive the politics of bloodlines and power. But when Mila's shapeshifting demon heritage spirals out of control during a training trial, Feyra is forced to push her power further than she ever has before-nearly losing her life to pull Mila back from the brink. Now recovery is slow, the pain is unrelenting... and everyone has questions. Including Zeraph-the new third-year leader with a reputation sharp enough to cut. Stoic, disciplined, and carved from controlled fire, he believes Feyra's sacrifice was reckless. She believes he doesn't understand what loyalty means. And Zero-her closest friend and constant defender-has no intention of letting Zeraph dictate anything. But Feyra's scars are changing. Mila's demon forms grow harder to control. And deep beneath the school, in the old wyvern tunnels, something ancient has begun to stir-responding to Feyra's mark... and to the bond between them. Some magic binds. Some magic burns. Some magic was never meant to exist. And the price of saving each other may be becoming the very thing everyone fears.

Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe.

Once upon a time tomorrow (A story about the mythical character Nuada)
Alvhilde is a young woman with a handicap and a different sort of mind who goes on a journey to find what her dreams or rather her nightmares are trying to tell her. She finds a dashing sea captain with many secrets who always tells the truth, but just as she thinks she has fallen for him they have to part ways. She finds a small village on Ireland and an eccentric bookstore owner who decides to help her find out what the dreams are all about. Maybe she is related to a blacksmith with a hidden past, maybe the stories she grew up with are not just stories but a map to find the truth? She finds herself in the middle of a strange world that is also eerily familiar, with responsibilities she feels are not really hers and with a strange but unbreakable bond to a creature she thought was only a character in an old legend. She has to decide if she will stay and explore that bond and the feelings it stirs and the responsibilities that are now hers or if she will try to find that sea captain again and live the life he could offer, or maybe just go home to her odd artist of a grandfather. Some people want to find out they are special somehow, have special abilities, others just want a good night's, sleep. /Nord This book is dedicated to my maternal grandfather. I will always love and miss you!Complete
Song of a Siren
Caroline was shaped by grief, sharpened by betrayal, and sent back to the men who lit the match. Hunted through the waters her kind once ruled, she watched her brothers dragged from the sea and hung like a trophy by the very family that called themselves righteous. Now, years later, she walks into the lion's den-not as prey, but as the end of mercy. Zakaria, heir to the blood-stained legacy of sea-killers, never questioned the stories his family built their power on. Yet, when Caroline forces him to look at the truth-her truth-he is faced with a choice: protect the lies that shaped him, or destroy them alongside everything he's ever known. What begins as a brutal confrontation spirals into something far more dangerous: obsession, guilt, and a twisted echo of love neither can afford. Because some wounds were meant to bleed. And some love stories are written in blood.
Feyra has always known that her magic comes at a cost.
