Sixteen year old Tesania is the only survivor after her village and family are massacred by magically altered beasts. In the aftermath of the attack she senses her father’s sword calling out to her, the hilt reforming to fit her small hand as she draws the blade from its sheath. With its magic tingling at her nerves, she embarks on a mission of revenge. A meeting with a King’s ranger not only diverts her to the royal city but also awakens emotions she has never felt before.
When it is discovered her father’s sword is the ancient weapon spoken of in the decaying parchments of the Tenule chronicles; the King tasks her with destroying the orb that holds the life force of the evil mage, Trannyth’s, beasts.
Now she can only hope that the sword forged with her ancestor’s blood will make the difference when she stands before Trannyth and demands her vengeance on his beasts.
Tesania is available online.

Dragonica
Dragonica was a first draft that has been rewritten and renamed. The new piece will be uploaded under the name Necrotic Dawn Eternia is a boundless world, compassed by three resplendent moons: Andromedus, Andromita, and Jediah. The kingdoms thereof are beginning to favor science over the older, magical arts, which are ever-fading. Legend has it that ancient dragons and orithuns, bloodthirsty, humanoid creatures rumored to now be dwelling underground, sought to eliminate the magical arts from the arsenal and collective knowledge of all other Eternian species, albeit it with independent reasoning. Celestia Lunalia is a sorceress, one of the last of her kind, from just outside of Atreus, an Eternian village just large enough to arguably constitute a town, populated by a tight-knit, hardworking community. Despite her coveted abilities, Celestia leads a modest life tending to her farm, solemnly practicing the arts passed on by her late mother and father, and enjoying the company of her protective lynx-Maine Coon, Violet. Her life is suddenly turned upside down, however, when orithuns surface and begin attacking travelers and residents of Atreus, culminating in the mysterious Ilios, an enigmatic man seemingly unknown to everyone, saving her life without convincing explanation. Everything she thought she knew about her world is brought into question and shattered in turn upon embarking on a journey of discovery, danger, and growth as the world around her erupts into war and she seems to be the only one who can save it.Complete

Illara had trained all her life for this moment. She had been chosen - from all eligible women throughout the three kingdoms - to be presented to the dragon. Her noble sacrifice would ensure the safety of her lands for a full year. She glowed with pride at the thought. And any moment now the massive dragon would come soaring over the mountains, his massive strength and awesome power - What was this? Along a rocky pass, moving with the persistence of a love-struck cow, was something metallic. Something shiny. Her heart thundered with panic as the object drew closer and resolved into a shape. For she knew it could ruin everything. It could cause the destruction of all she held dear. It was a knight. * * * Half of all proceeds of the Dragon novelettes benefit battered women's shelters. While this first book is non-explicit, due to the strong sexual content and adult situations in future books, this romantic suspense series is recommended for readers aged 17+. The series is structured for readers to read along as I write them to offer feedback and suggestions on the complex storyline. If you're the style of reader who would prefer to wait until the entire series is finished before you tackle it, that is fine! Simply wait until the series is complete and I'll offer the boxed set. I do that with all of my books. The reason I publish as I write is that I don't write full time and it can sometimes take months for me to finish up a storyline. There are readers who don't want to wait - who would rather read along as I go and stay engaged in the process. That way they can provide feedback and suggestions on the storyline. Whichever way works well for you, I provide an option. I'd love to hear from you at my website at OpheliaSikes.com.Complete

Women in her village are expected to clean and cook, while the men and other boys are praised for their mighty hunting skills and swordsmanship. Females are seen as uncapable, a liability, while males are seen as strong and talented.

The Dragon Huntress
Even when growing up, Elia didn't fit in with the other girls. They would dress up in dresses. She wore cloaks. They would cook and sew. She would throw knives. They liked boys. She liked bows. Elia was a bit of an outcast to her village, with her striking dark brown hair that was always kept back in a fishtail plait, and her light blue/green eyes that seemed to change colour in the light. She had no parents, and at 16 lives alone, and breathlessly waits each year to watch the dragons during the Week of Xanithar, admiring the way they fly, wild and free. This year is her year of testing, at 16. The first of the four dragon riders to get to the village can claim it. The moment that dragon rider sets foot on the ground of your village, the emblem of that academy is hung from the flag and any new dragon riders in their village are the new students for the academy. Each village has 4 new dragon riders, this is the way it has been for years. Male or female they are claimed and tested to find the four riders a week after. The challenge for the dragon riders in the Week of Xanithar is to claim as many strong blooded villages as possible. And now it's her turn.Complete
