"Vespera has a legacy name she needs to live up to, but when the Nymph from the forest demands to be freed, Vespera proves she is not the witch her mother had tried to mould her into."
Vespera is the daughter of the Great Witch who locked the Nymph away in the forest. For most of her life, she's been unable to live up to her mother's legacy. When the dark creatures burst into the Warden's Castle, she's forced to step it up and fulfil her duties.
At the same time the voice of the trapped wood nymph lures Vespera into the forest, demanding to be freed. With each secret uncovered, Vespera keeps asking herself who the real monsters are in this story. Getting closer to the nymph, in more ways than one, she's faced with choices she never thought she'd have to make.
Vespera is determined to find out the truth, even if it will cost her the love of her family and friends.

Morana the Cursed
KILL ONE TWIN, FREE THE KINGDOM. On the island of Wyrith, death has a name: Morana. Gifted - or cursed - as the realm's last necromancer and most lethal assassin, her power is a whisper from the grave. However, even she struggles to bridle the magic clawing under her skin. Life breathes through her twin sister, Ilyana. The urge to heal even the smallest of wounds fuels the tips of her fingers, yet not even her blessed magic can bring back the family she's lost. All that's left for her to inherit is a duty of isolation and sacrifice. When an archaic necromancer curse awakens, sealing in Wyrith and taking lives one by one, the sisters face a harrowing choice. After a decade apart, will they unite to unravel the ancient magic before it's too late? Or will secrets and enemies shred their last hope for Wyrith, leaving nothing but an island of corpses?

The Nerd's Secret |Ongoing|
Note: I don't believe you need to read the first book but I think it'd be more fun if you did. (The Bad Boy's Secret) This story may be triggering at some points. If you have any questions regarding that please don't hesitate to message me. When you're a loser and friendless nerd you stick to what you're supposed to do. You get good grades, deal with the bullying and attempt to forget the past. But there are things an everyday nerd, such as myself should clearly not do. One: Don't crush on the most popular girl in school. Two: Be sure not to get sidetracked in your studies by including yourself in electives and such. Three: Don't get superpowers. Now what to do when, possibly, you might have done all the following listed above? This wasn't like a test where I just knew the answer. So you can imagine how long it took me to come up with the realization of what I should become. Or in other words, who I should become! Maybe I shouldn't have been begging for a change because this is a bit much...
