[COMPLETE] A Novel of the Bloody Saints::
Mirrah, a young girl from a broken family, cut out her living heart for the power to protect her people. That sacrifice gave her enormous power over the elements, over the very spirit of her realm. The cost was dear. Now she is bound to the land, and unable to hate, or fear, or love. Every act whittles away the time she has left, so any moment could be her last. She even gave up her name to become THE ICON.
It was supposed to be an HONOR.
It was supposed to be a BLESSING.
But slowly she comes to realize that she has been lied to. There are dark secrets just under the surface of the world, and behind the shield she holds, an old enemy waits to STRIKE.
Somehow, this Icon must face the terrible truth of the world she inherited. She must regain what was lost without succumbing to the same fate as every Icon has before her. The darkness rises, and she must face it, or become what her people feared more...
THE ICON UNBOUND.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
HEIR | The Cursed Monarchy | Book 1
~ COMPLETE AND NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON ~ In the Five Kingdoms of Saol Eile, magic is the only currency and those who have the most cast long shadows across the land. Amidst lavish parties, sumptuous banquets, and sprawling castles, despicable tyrants have risen, calling themselves kings by right; emperors, by the laws of old magic, and monarchs, by the wealth they've procured. When it's rumored that an army of flesh-eating monsters has risen from the shadows, tyrant-kings are forced to submit to a far more dangerous power - the sorcerer standing at the head of it all: The Cursed One. Orphaned and penniless, eighteen-year-old Cecily Trask's magic has always been reluctant to emerge. But with the kingdoms at the brink of war, she vows to do whatever it takes to keep her people safe-even if it means breaking all the rules, reaching into the depths of her soul to unravel the bindings around her true power, and allying with the potentially dangerous prince, Daire Niadh, to do it. In a landscape thick with mistrust, desire, and incipient hope, Cecily and Daire cross paths in an unfamiliar world forever changed by violent forces neither of them understand. They should hate each other. They should want each other dead. But their grief both draws them together and breaks them down, until all they have left is their shared goal - to defeat The Cursed One, even though for Cecily, the journey means almost certain death. ❧ Copyright © Marcella Colavecchio, 2014 - 2020.Complete

The Halfling Society of the Righteous
A group of halflings come together to form a group they call the Halfling Society of the Righteous. They are all extremely powerful and their half-blooded nature makes them rare creatures. Magic flows through all of them, but one of them is more powerful than the rest. When the halflings discover that one of their own was killed, things snowball from there. Yet perhaps they were mislead. Now, seemingly trapped in the world of demons, called the Underrealm, they are faced with the fact that the realm itself is dying, and if the Underrealm dies, so will the rest of them. And only Ayla and her friends can stop this from happening. They will not have to undertake this adventure alone, but it will be hard. Friends old and new will help, but there is another dark force which lurks in the background, and it is consolidating powers. It will strike when they least expect it to...
