Aoife Olette is an orphan, raised in the belly of the city's cathedral and ever in the shadow of the Maker. With her head lost in fairy tales and stories of the past, she knows little about the world, but all that changes when the young orphan is framed for the murder of the inhabitants of the cathedral. Forced to abandon the only home she has ever known, she is joined by her only friends, as the two of them seek to prove her innocence. Joined by a man on the run with a past he won't speak of, and the spoiled son of the Lord of the Sands, the four of them will be tied together in more ways than they realise, as they endeavour to discover the truth behind the plot they find themselves embroiled in.

Nyxia & Wawa: TWIN SHADOWS OF THE FORGOTTEN
In a world where humans hunt demi-humans for sport, two orphaned girls cling to each other for survival. Nyxia, a mysterious demon girl born of a failed experiment to resurrect an ancient evil, hides her horns and tail beneath her cloak. Wawa, a half sea-bunny demi-human with an unknown lineage, carries the blood of something far more powerful than anyone realizes. Adopted into the same home, the two become inseparable sisters, facing hardship, prejudice, and the harshness of a world determined to erase them. But when a god reveals their destiny - to restore balance by finding the scattered relics and reawakening legendary weapons - their bond is tested in ways they never imagined. Together, they fight through brutal trials, clash with kings, and uncover truths about their pasts that shake the foundation of who they are. Yet shadows follow them closely - embodied in the Crimson Rouge, a masked killer whose blade moves faster than death itself... and who hides a bloodline secret that changes everything. As the sisters grow from children to warriors, betrayal tears them apart, destiny drags them forward, and war between humans and demi-humans threatens to end the world. To save it, Nyxia and Wawa must stand side by side - or watch everything they love vanish into shadow.Complete
