In the shadow-laden corridors of Bricklow Castle, Lady Elenis Fitzriley, a young noblewoman burdened with an insatiable curiosity, finds herself ensnared in a harrowing labyrinth of forbidden love, merciless betrayal, and unspeakable curses. As twilight descends upon a grand tourney orchestrated by her omnipotent father, the strands of destiny weave together to confront her with two Knights as polarized as night and day. One, possessing eyes as ethereal as moonlight, ignites a perilous passion deep within her soul; the other, shrouded in malevolent darkness, seeks to ensnare her very essence into a vortex of damnation.
The tourney turns insidious when a highborn lady inexplicably vanishes, leaving behind nothing but an air thick with dread and unanswered questions. In that cursed moment, Elenis's existence is irrevocably altered. Haunted by her own inexplicable metamorphosis and plagued by ghastly nightmares, she becomes a shadow of her former self.
Four years later, an unforeseen reunion with her long-lost paramour hurls her onto a nightmarish journey, teeming with malevolent spirits and ancestral curses, to unlock the eldritch enigma of her own transformation. Amidst the gothic splendor of 12th-century Norman-ruled England, a realm saturated with arcane rituals and pagan enchantments, Elenis comes to the chilling revelation that her salvation-or eternal damnation-lies in deciphering the intricate tapestry of love and darkness woven into her very being.

In These Days of War
The elven kingdom of Tírnéth, weakened by civil war, is unable to ward off the threat posed by the mortal men of Carransii. For the first time in recorded history, foreign feet scale the Aghadh Mountains and tread elven land in pursuit of the most coveted thing in the world: The magic of the Misty Bog. Lying to the north of Tírnéth and governed by the Seelie Queen, it is a domain even elves are forbidden from entering. Even so, Princess Eimhir and her younger sisters make the journey to its border at the behest of her father, King Lorcán, in a desperate bid to preserve his legacy as the enemy closes in from the south. He entrusts his daughters to the care of his enigmatic Warden of the North, who holds her lonely vigil in the Grey Tower of the Wall of Devin. But in these days of war, Eimhir refuses to be passive. She will not be a damsel in distress awaiting the cold kiss of her enemy's blade. With her mind honed by the cutthroat politics of the royal court, she wields it like a weapon, but can she maintain her ruthlessness through the burgeoning feelings she holds for her protector?

But never once has she seen one of its people-until the day a Colorless boy turns up in her village, carrying one of his people's most prized possessions: the pendant of Free Will.

The Aether Heart Chronicles: On The Trail...
The world's magic (Aether) has long since turned its back on humankind. What power remains belongs to relics, and those born touched by other blood. But in the harbor town of Runner's Rest, a woman named Nora Delway returns with a child who should not exist. The girl, Grealis, can shape aether with her own will; no focus, no stone, no charm to guide her. For the first time in living memory, something ancient stirs in human veins. Nora turns to Jack Willows, a hunter of things best left unnamed. Their history runs deep, tangled in guilt and sorrow. She asks him to protect the girl from the thing hunting her: a pale creature that feeds on magic itself and leaves the world colder wherever it walks. Their road leads west toward Rat's Nest, a town steeped in rumor and rot, where the cellar of a madman's house still waits with its doors half open. Along the way, they gather others touched by hardship and half-light: Bill the Bull, a stone-skinned fighter with debts and loyalty carved in equal measure, and Antoine Zerimar, a silver-voiced bard who carries more truth in song than courage in silence. Through taverns and graveyards, over storm-soaked roads and the bones of a dying age, they chase the faint hope that one child might change what the world believes is possible. Yet hope is a dangerous thing, and every fire they kindle draws the shadows closer. Told from the far end of memory, this is the story of a world that learned too late what it had lost, and of a handful of souls who refused to stop searching for the spark that made it human.Completa
