Since the day Casimira Vale was born she was destined to be loathed by all Miripa. Carrying the blood of a child of Hegja, her life has not been easy in the country that despises her people. Even worse, having been raised in the Miripan where their prejudices run high and their loyalty to the king comes before all.
When the King gives the order to eradicate all Hegjinns from Miripa, it is up to Cas whether she will save her people or let them perish. The green eyes she inherited from her father have saved her so far, but if she resists the King there will be no going back. Will she be able to find the courage to save her people, or will the instinct to survive overpower all?

Kingdom of Scourge and Shadow (The Sightstone Series #1)
The kingdoms of Caedland and Saroviya have been at war for centuries, and a darkness has spread across the Northern Lands. In the east, Saroviya has been crippled by fighting on multiple fronts, while Caedland still reels from the murder of its queen's consort and the disappearance of its princess nearly two decades ago. Now, in the war-torn lands between the two kingdoms, a new threat has emerged, an unnatural disease that specifically targets the witches who fight for both kingdoms. In Caedland, a new draft means that young witch Judith Craven must report to the kingdom's capital to join the New Army and begin her training in the military arts. There, however, she soon discovers that her power is not as it seems-and neither is her heritage. Meanwhile, in Saroviya, the king's personal Healer, Alina Kalinin, finds herself sucked into a dangerous political landscape when she is assigned by the leader of the Order of Mages to create a cure for the mysterious new disease that has appeared on her kingdom's border. Even as Judith grapples with awful power and Alina struggles to understand a disease whose origins she soon comes to suspect aren't natural, a group of criminals in the neutral kingdom of Rijkelund set out to steal a sacred artifact from the Saroviyan embassy. But, as they embark on a seemingly-impossible mission, they soon discover that all is not as it may seem, and both Saroviya and Caedland are playing a very different game than it may seem from the outside.Complete
Training For War: The Bond Once Severed Book 2 (Updating)

I will continue to try to publish once or twice a month on Saturday or Sunday.) The Masters are gathered, and the students have shown their skills, but the training has barely begun. Natalia waits for the new life growing in her body and her soul. She has made her choice, but it will not be the last one. In the safety of the Master's Vale, the complexity of the real world can be forgotten, especially during the rigors of training. But outside of the Vale, forces continue to move towards war. Lukas waits outside the Vale, trying not to become jealous of the life Natalia and Raja are building together. His purpose is clear, he must save the Kingdom from downfall, the Queen must not win this ground. But his reasons for fighting are beginning to blur and forces around him seek to shift his focus. Who is his true enemy? Raja should be happy. He has two bondmates, growing magic, and an offspring he had never anticipated. But everything feels like it is balanced on a knife's edge, and his Tribe calls to him. What will tip the scale? The intrigues of the Masters and the Queen become ever more complex, weaving a web over the three. As more people enter their lives, the tangles and snares multiply. No one can see the future clearly, but the Queen will not stop. So it is time for everyone to prepare for war.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
