Over a thousand years have passed since a war between the gods in the world of Eishade, ended when the opposing gods, the Andlatkin were killed by the peaceful and life-giving gods, the Tarstkin. Since then, the world has turned their backs on any affiliated with the slain gods. The dreyri, monsters and demon created by the worst of the Andlatkin, roam freely and seek to destroy those who led to the destruction of their creator. Eishade is constantly on the tipping point of war, as various people and cultures fight to stay alive against the attacks of the dreyri and each other. Countries have risen and fallen in the past millennium and very little has stayed the same. The gods who once constantly intervened to provide balance have become silent and the devoted lose their faith.
Asta Traust was born of the Afridrkyn, a warrior clan descended from the Protector Veru, the leading god of the Andlatkin. Made an orphan after an attack by the Ilistari Army on their secluded village far north and deep within the mountains, she must come to terms with the world she has inherited. With the help of her sole friend and mentor Rottur Orosta, Asta becomes a mercenary in order to hide in plain sight of those who would rather see her dead. As reluctant as she is to become a major actor in these conflicts, Asta must come to terms with who she is, and who she is meant to become.
Through Asta's eyes, the narratives and personal lives of other actors are shown as they fight for power over their own lives in a world quickly slipping into chaos.

HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete

Rune and Ruin
To bait a falcon, a very small bird is fitted with ball weights attached to a string held by the falconer. When the raptor attacks, the rolling dive will tangle around the legs of both birds, thus ensuring the falcon cannot fly away. Further training involves both the string and treats, often meat from the same small birds, encouraging the predator to return to its handler. Centuries of war between the gods have caused an imbalance in the mortal world. Stark lines of division have resulted in three species, all vying for survival against an increasingly harsh world; The Tasuri, demon-shifters with noble houses stretching back before the founding of cities, shapeshifters in their clans and dens, and the Acera, those without fang, claw, wing, or hoof. The Tasuri city of Rune has never been more powerful, or more desperate. A plague has hit, a disease of infertility that is decimating the population of the purebloods and shifters. The Tasuri and shapeshifters turn their attention to the small, remote villages and towns of the Acera. Defenseless, there is nothing to stop the two powerful groups from enslaving the Acera and destroying the balance of their world beyond recognition. The ruin of the Acera is underway when the Tasuri House of Fyriin births a Warlord. The young warrior, Falx, takes his army of demons into the hills. There, he is gifted a young Acera slave as tribute. Thania has every reason to hate him, but she bears more weight on her slight shoulders than Falx could possibly know. What happens to the world when you take the bird away from her falcon? Warning: This is a historical fantasy, paranormal romance. It will have explicit scenes, including scenes of nonconsent. This world is brutal and harsh. Please take care before reading!
