Some cages are made of stone. Others are made of roots.
Nyla is buried in the dark. Locked away in the high-security vaults of Eldergrove Academy, she is completely severed from the world, trapped by an institution determined to make her disappear.
But behind the locked doors, survival requires a dangerous price. To stay alive, she must embrace a volatile, forbidden power that violates every law of elemental magic-a chaotic force that threatens to consume her from the inside out.
The lines have been drawn. The lies are unraveling. And when the cage finally shatters, the modern world will have to face whatever walks out of the dark.

What Burns Beneath
Brin wakes to fire and blood. Fae monsters descend on her once-peaceful village, leaving her best friend at death's door. All hope seems lost... until one of the monsters offers to save him. For a price. Brin accepts. Now, whenever she falls asleep, Brin finds herself face to face with the Fae. With each night, their time together transforms from a nightmare into something almost pleasant. But Brin's been told her entire life that Fae are bloodthirsty, cruel, and never to be trusted... no matter how charming this one seems. She flees to the north, hoping to find aid from a sect of holy warriors. Along the way she meets Renner, a mercenary who agrees to act as guide and guard. He's far from charming and the two find themselves constantly at odds, but he's her best chance of making it north in one piece. Their journey is fraught with danger. Fae prowl the wilderness, preying on mortals. Towns that should be safe are filled with humans in league with monsters. And every night, the Fae waits in her dreams. What to expect: 1. A heroine with strong moral convictions. 2. Romantic fantasy with a fairly dark plot, but plenty of cozy moments. 3. Strong emphasis on atmosphere and thoughtful story development. 4. Slow-burn, series-long enemies-to-friends-to-lovers arc. 5. Themes of found family, self-sacrifice, and unconditional love. 6. A fun twist on the "chosen one" trope.Complete

" She stuttered cutely. I chuckled. "Let me remind you. Your stomach will not be the only thing I will be staring at. There are so many places where I want to stare. For example, your pretty long legs, your creamy stomach, and your enticing blue eyes, small but cute nose, and your luscious lips which are, right now, begging me to kiss them, soft and hard, without letting you to breath." I said, whispering the last sentence in her ears, while she held on to my tunic tightly, as if she would fall, if she were to let go. "S-Stop." She said, softly, as I chuckled at her shyness. ••• Ranking: 27/08/2022 3# in King and Queen 13/10/2022 1# In king and queen 20/02/2023 5# In Goddess 11/06/2023 1# in King And QueenComplete

Learning How to Bend
Liliana "Lily" Hamill is just your average working woman. 5'5" with wavy brown hair the color of milk chocolate and blue eyes, she's never been described by anyone as "a catch." She's pretty enough, what with her athletic frame and well-proportioned face. She rises every day, runs almost every morning, and gets ready for work just like many twenty-something-year-olds in the United States. She's been working mostly in the marketing department at Andino Incorporated since she graduated from a college in Texas at twenty-one, and she's lived in New York City for the past two. She doesn't think she's anyone special. But she is, because Lily has been blind since birth, although her disability has never held her back. That burden has fallen on her insecurities. Now, though, she's attempting to face her fears. Her closest childhood friend, Joseph Montran, has invited her to a company social event, and Lily grudgingly has agreed to go. All she knows is that it's informal, that she and her guide dog, Chelise, can mostly hang out with Joe and his wife, Katherine, if that's what Lily wants, and that she shouldn't be afraid to "act natural." What she doesn't know is that social event will change her life forever. //// I KEEP EDITING AS I'M WRITING.

It shattered alliances, cracked loyalty, and left scars no victory could erase. The war is no longer hidden-and neither are the costs of knowing too much. The crown tightens its grip. The Veilborn no longer stay in the shadows. And the people Zyraen trusted most are forced to choose where they stand when survival demands betrayal.

Because fire may ignite a war... but ashes are what remain when the heart survives it.
AISLIN | I
❝You are just a WOMAN. You can't fight in this war, you're weak. It will chew you up and spit you out, you can't keep up with us.❞ The commander scoffed with a low chuckle. A couple of men behind him chuckled as well. Evander's gaze burned into the side of my head, awaiting my reply like everyone else. ❝If I can't fight, then why did the Queen herself ask me to take over your job for the time being?❞ I asked, pulling my dagger out from its sheath, taping on Commander Leland's breastplate with the tip, ❝Careful who you call weak Commander because you clearly don't know who I am.❞ He crossed his arms defensively, ❝Oh yeah? And who are you?❞ I leaned forward lightly, ❝The name's Aislin.❞ ________________ Her name was well-known throughout the kingdoms. Some believed she was just an urban legend, while others thought she was real but some believed she didn't exist at all. She was labeled "the infamous warrior" because she was known for destroying kingdoms with her bare hands. She was a woman, but she set a strong example for tens of thousands of men. She disappeared after a horrific accident. Years had passed, and she had led a life free of violence. After all those years, she was itching to return to the battlefield. Her wish was granted when Queen Aria of Kavan herself approached her and informed her of the events unfolding in her kingdom, requesting her assistance. A sexist Commander, a caring queen, a slacker army, new friendships, and an intriguing yet hothead prince are among the challenges she faces. She's got a lot to handle. --- REVIEWS (more inside) "If you put equal portions of action, adventure, comedy, mystery, romance & feminism in a ninja blender and set it to high power, YOU 👏 GET👏 AISLIN👏.
