Whisper of the Long Lost Princess (Academy of Secrets)
For centuries, the hidden kingdoms have whispered the same forbidden tale a prophecy buried in moonlight and starfire. They speak of a child born beneath a blood moon and a sky of falling stars, a girl whose breath holds the hush of the wind, whose heart echoes the voice of the earth, whose touch summons flame and frost and thunder. A princess, stolen before the first dawn could crown her hidden among mortals, her name erased, her power sealed behind iron gates and old secrets. They called her lost. They prayed she would never be found. For if she woke, the eight sleeping elements would rise again light, shadow, fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, and the spirit that binds them all. And kingdoms built on lies would fall to their knees before the child they tried to forget. But secrets are never truly buried. And fate never forgets its promises. In a quiet village on the edge of the old forest, she bakes bread in the warmth of a small bakery, her memories hidden behind a smile and the hush of rising dough. She answers to Lunaria a name she doesn't remember choosing and dreams of gates she cannot open. But the wind knows her name. The earth hums beneath her feet. Fire flickers when she passes. The storm watches. And the Academy that sealed her power watches too, its Council whispering that the lost star has begun to stir. When the iron gates crack open, secrets slip through a young elemental prince whose touch tastes of storms, shadows that whisper old truths, and a sister cloaked in starlight waiting to bring her home. In the hidden halls of the Academy of Secrets, where loyalty is as fragile as glass and power is more dangerous than lies, Lunaria must remember who she is before the kingdoms rise or burn in her name. Her story begins where all lost things do in the hush of winter, under a sky heavy with falling stars. And when she wakes, the world will never be the same.Complete
Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete

The Exiled King | ✔
Fifty years ago, demons invaded the mortal realm of Dargon, leaving a trail of destruction across the five kingdoms. The six Guardians of that generation united the kingdoms and fought back against the demons, scattering their ashes to the winds. Then, they vanished into legend, and with them, their powers. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? There are rumours that another demon army gathers in the fiery realm of the Abyss, greater than the first and led by a cunning mastermind whose motivations are unknown. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined-where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.
