The Emperor's Edge
Imperial law enforcer Amaranthe Lokdon is good at her job: she can deter thieves and pacify thugs, if not with a blade, then by toppling an eight-foot pile of coffee canisters onto their heads. But when ravaged bodies show up on the waterfront, an arson covers up human sacrifices, and a powerful business coalition plots to kill the emperor, she feels a tad overwhelmed. Worse, Sicarius, the empire's most notorious assassin, is in town. He's tied in with the chaos somehow, but Amaranthe would be a fool to cross his path. Unfortunately, her superiors order her to hunt him down. Either they have an unprecedented belief in her skills... or someone wants her dead.Complete
A Court of Sirens and Shadows (An ACOTAR Fanfic)
In the heart of the Night Court, Loralei has spent her life honing her skills in combat, refusing to be the girl who waits in the shadows. Born to Gwyneth Berdara and the legendary shadowsinger Azriel, she is the embodiment of strength-sharp, quick, and deadly. But beneath the surface, something stirs within her, an inheritance she doesn't fully understand, a latent power tied to her nymph heritage. When Kieran, a cunning thief from the Court of Nightmares, crashes a ball to steal a mysterious relic, he has no idea that his mission will entangle him with the daughter of a shadowsinger. Loralei should kill him where he stands. Instead, she finds herself drawn to him in a way she can't explain, as if something within her is reaching out. As the relic becomes the center of a brewing war between the Night Court and the Autumn Court, Loralei begins to feel the pull of something darker, something powerful-an unspoken force that is tied to her bloodline, yet she can't quite control. Bound by fate and their own dark abilities, Loralei and Kieran must navigate treachery, political intrigue, and a dangerous attraction neither can afford. But in a world where shadows whisper and unknown powers lurk, temptation can be a deadly game. The next generation of the Night Court rises. And a game of courts is about to begin.
