When a girl taught to believe she's insane begins to question the lies that built her reality, the truth waiting beneath may shatter both her world - and the one beyond it.
Synopsis:
Coryna has spent her life trying to silence the voice of madness her mother insists lives inside her. The boy she once loved - the one who made her feel seen, alive - never existed. Kyran was a figment of her imagination, a symptom of the sickness her family has always feared. At least, that's what she's been told.
But the medallion she wears - a bronze circle etched with a phoenix and seven stars - pulses when she touches it, as if remembering something she's forgotten. Shadows whisper her name. And when fragments of dreams start to blur into waking life, Coryna begins to wonder if the lie was never hers.
As reality fractures, she's drawn toward Lumendara - a hidden realm of light and shadow, where magic breathes and truth demands sacrifice. There, love and betrayal intertwine, and the line between sanity and illusion fades into something dangerous and beautiful.
Flame of Shadows is a story of love lost and remembered, of a girl torn between the expectations of a cruel world and the call of one that was never supposed to exist. Because some ghosts aren't born of madness... they're born of destiny.

Untouched
He was forbidden magic wrapped in a mortal body. She was the spark that could burn him or save him. Of Fire and Shadow - Series Summary In a distant future, humanity has lost what once made it human. Souls are hollow. Emotions erased. The ancient walls dividing realms of Light (the Fae) and Shadow (the Demons) have collapsed, fusing time, worlds, and species into one fractured existence. To maintain control, the High Council outlawed the most dangerous force of all - feeling. Love, passion, grief, and joy are forbidden, declared the root of chaos that once ignited wars among realms. Peace was purchased through emptiness. Survival meant never truly living. But fate stirs in the gray between worlds. A woman named Samira, believing herself human, discovers she is the last royal of the Fae - a hidden ember of emotion in a world gone cold. When she crosses paths with Xalen, the ruthless King of Shadows, their connection awakens something long buried: desire, compassion, and the pulse of creation itself. Their forbidden love becomes the spark of rebellion - a rising storm to reclaim the right to feel, to live, and to love again. And once the soul of the world is reignited... nothing will ever be the same.

When a tragic accident forces him to flee with his best friend Jace and the fiercely brilliant Erica, Bel is thrust into a world of ancient rites, forbidden magic, and secrets buried deep within his own bloodline. He doesn't know why the Council wants him, only that their eyes burn with fear... and that his very existence could tip the balance between worlds. As the trio races across cursed forests, crumbling villages, and shattered memories, Bel must confront a truth he was never ready to face: He was never just running from something. He was being called to something greater. Something darker. In a world where shadows hold the truth and light can lie, Bel must decide what kind of monster he's willing to become, to save the people he loves. Shadowbound is a journey of identity, survival, and self-acceptance, the first step into a trilogy where destiny wears a broken face... and hope is found in the dark.Complete
