Demeter was born nothing. The daughter of concubine, it was expected she would be the same, regardless of her wants. She would never marry, never come into her own money, and her only prospects lay in her own beauty and potential to pass that beauty on to her daughters. However, when a childhood friend comes into a position of power, he returns to court demanding to have Demeter for himself. Is he actually buying her freedom under the false pretense of a marriage though, or are his intentions far more sinister? Tirian is no longer the gentle boy she once knew, he has become cold and mysterious, but Demeter is determined to gain her independence, regardless of Tirian's strange cruelty. Demeter must simply outwit her devilish husband and figure out the Maze that is his vast Northern estate, but of course not fall for any of Tirian's wicked magick either. For Demeter fears the longer she stays in Tirian's presence, the harder it is for her to turn from him.

Elfhaven (the Danu Cycle: Fiann Trilogy Book 2)
The outposts are one thing, fey court is another entirely. With an inherited title she didn't earn and massive shoes to fill, Niamh tries to adjust to fey court. Dwendardian's forces are bombarding the castle, demanding Niamh's head for their leader. The harder she trains, the less adequate she feels, not in the least when her growing power only seems to be present when Eamon's annoying her. There is very little difference between love, lust and obsession. But, there is more than looming threats to the safety of all realms; the king's sons are caught in their own games and aren't averse to getting someone killed. While Eamon reminds himself his feelings for Niamh go no further than a simple fey obsession, he is still involved in the tug of war for power among the king's children. Fey obsession is a dangerous thing... So, oaths are formed and relationships tested as Niamh and Eamon are forced to hide away with the hope the fey can draw the fomorians away from Elfhaven. There, their own relationship is tested as Niamh gives in to her attraction to him. ...and, Eamon's will not be the only oath broken. But, once the threat is passed and they are back among others, Eamon is cold, distant, and his oath is near broken. But, not as broken as Killian, who senses the connection now forged between Eamon and Niamh. In faery, friend and foe hangs on a single whim. As Niamh continues to learn more about her fey heritage, she will come to see that there are many layers to the fey psyche. And, while she's slowly shedding some humanity and becoming one of them, she's only barely scratched the surface.Complete
Pawn, volume 1 of Different Worlds
As much as you might think, the gods are not omnipotent. Their biggest handicap, for example, is that they can't interfere directly in mortal matters - that is, what happens on earth. So, they send Chosen Ones, creatures whose only purpose is to serve them, till the death, if they accept. That, though, is a decision Aisha is hesitating to take when she meets a boy with abilities like hers. Will she make the right decisions, or will she take action too late? But most of all, is she willing to save the empire from the evil tyrant, and is she even capable of it? The cover was made by myself on IbisPaint. PS: the first chapters are a tiny winsy bit boring but I hope it won't be a problem 😅 TRIGGER WARNING: violence, murder, torture, delicate subjects (racism, family problems...), blood, gore scenes... all of these following can appear in the bookComplete

Silver {Book One}
"What of this thief I hear that has hidden themselves in The Lands of Luxury?" I say. Rail lowered his emerald eyes towards the horizon. "Have you thought of my proposal?" Rail asks, avoiding my question. He had asked me many times to become his protector and leave the True One. Of course, I always say no. It pained me to see the hurt in his once peaceful eyes. "You know my answer." I whisper. I lay my hand on top of his. There was always a spark that clouded my mind when I touched Rail. I pull away, dropping my eyes. "This was a wonderful gathering, Rail. Thank you, but I must return to the True One." I begin to light the room with my silverlight overpowering Rail's golden blaze, getting ready to flash. "Wait! Stay to find the thief. Please, Aderes." I'm hovering over the floor. Rail grabs my hand, and the shock brings me back to him. I lower myself and let go of him. "I will stay until the thief is found. Then I must return to the True One's heaven." I try to smile at Rail to calm him. It works. His green eyes linger on me as I walk away from the balcony and return to the gathering. *** After meeting Jay, Sarah's father is killed, which causes her to accidentally tap into unknown powers. Sarah begins to learn the truth about who Aderes is and how Sarah herself is connected to her. But most importantly, she learns who's been lying to her since the beginning.Complete
