The Stolen Amulet (ECHOES OF ETERNITY SERIES, BOOK I)
What happens when a simple birthday gift unravels the threads of fate itself? The land of Yuvell thrives on magic, where ordinary lives intertwine with the extraordinary. Among its people is Sarah Day, the eldest daughter of the Day family and the successor to her family's pottery shop. On the day of her coming-of-age celebration, Sarah receives a strange yellow amulet from her older brother, Dorian-a gift she doesn't fully understand, but cherishes all the same. Days later, Dorian vanishes without a trace, along with several magicians from her hometown. The only clue left behind is the amulet that is pulsing with a strange power that Sarah cannot yet comprehend. Nonetheless, determined to bring her brother home, Sarah leaves behind the comfort of her shop and ventures into a world brimming with mystery and deceit. During her search, she crosses paths with a mysterious man named Euros, whose guilefulness hides more than he lets on. Though their alliance is uneasy at first, Sarah soon realizes that their fates may be more intertwined than either of them dares to admit. As they follow the trail of the missing magicians, histories that have long been buried slowly began to resurface. Each step draws Sarah closer to the heart of a conspiracy that threatens not only her journey-but the balance between magic and mankind itself. Now, with deception at every turn and trust growing thinner by the day, Sarah must decide: how far is she willing to go to save the ones she loves? And when the truth finally surfaces, will she be ready to face it?

Amelia's been on the streets since she can remember. She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester. Amelia's been trying to find her mother for as long as she can remember but all she has is a name. What neither Amelia nor Ezra knew, was that that name would connect them in a way neither would've ever imagined. She finds someone so broken under that cold exterior that she can't help but want to help him. They get thrown into a world of witches, wizards and magic and evil. They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil.

Masquerade
The kingdom of Verlockend has a secret. Within its emerald green hills and spanning lakes lies a deadly curse. Behind its citizens' extravagant masks exists a condition beyond compare: hideous boils that cover every face. For as long as Fawn has known, this is the way life has been under the rule of King Malin; everyone within its walls is mandated to wear a mask at all times, so as not to reveal the cause of Verlockend's mysterious solitude to its enemies. The curse that covered the miles of fruitful land long ago is not only hard to look at, but deadly as citizens continue to age. The elderly members of the community are starting to disappear more and more often, sent far away from civilization due to the violent characteristics of the curse. Their heartbroken families never see them again. Despite the horrors of this, Fawn lives a comfortable life as a baker's daughter. Having lived this sad tale all her life, she has grown used to spending her days hidden behind cloth. But even within the mundane kitchen life, a secret as big as her kingdom's always looms in the back of her mind: she is not cursed. She was born an anomaly, the one Verlockan citizen without those grotesque features the curse brings; her skin is smooth and white as milk, keeping her immune from the curse's claws. When the home she thought she knew is suddenly turned upside down, Fawn realizes that she cannot live surrounded by secrets any longer. Her chance comes upon meeting a cunning stranger named Jacinth, whose bold spirit leads them both into an unexplored land to discover the truth behind all the lies. Along with wise Kendry, confident Wrendolyn, and some companions along the way, Fawn finds herself as she discovers the story behind her kingdom's fate - and if there is a way to break the curse once and for all.Complete
