In a place that isn't really anywhere, at every time at once, the leaders of an ancient war rule over their soldiers. They have had years of peace - free of the bloodthirsty 'wolves' that pursue their kind.
That is, until a human breaks through the doors - trailing a wolf, and changing everything. Chaos is emerging from the smoke, and at the center of it is one cruel goddess.

Fate is stirring and Death herself cannot stop it, but that is why she has a champion. **Sequel to Heart of Flame**Complete

As war erupts between light and shadow, both must face an undeniable truth: they are not just warriors-they are weapons of the gods. And the real enemy? It may not be each other, but something far older and more dangerous, lurking in the darkness, waiting for its moment to strike. Blood will spill. Kingdoms will fall. And in the end, only one will stand victorious. Will Astrid become the shield that saves her people, or will Svarog drag her into the abyss? The battle for the North begins now.Complete

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete
