Moving miles across the country isn't easy to handle. And for a girl like Lisette, it's almost impossible. However, secrets lie in Hillington, Maine. Like the babysitter who knows a little too much about magic. And the girl next door who has a sixth sense for plants. But soon, things get stranger. Lisette finds herself in a different world—one with mythological beings and garish creatures. She soon learns that she has a duty to fulfill and that she has the weight of the world on her. What do you do when you're the sole superhero for not one, but TWO worlds?

Song of the Moonlit Garden
In a world that fears what it cannot name, there lives a girl who speaks the language of the wild. Liora was born beneath a silent moon, her first cry echoing through the forest. From that night onward, animals were drawn to her - birds sang her name, wolves bowed their heads, deer sought her touch, and every lost creature found its way to her door. To the beasts, she was warmth, gentleness, and love. To the villagers, she was a curse - a witch who bent nature to her will. Banished to the forest's edge, Liora built a small home among the moonlit trees, where she lived surrounded by the creatures who adored her. She tended to the wounded, sang to the restless, and found peace in their company. But the world outside would not leave her be. One by one, five men - each powerful, scarred, and searching for something they cannot name - are drawn to her haven in the woods. Some see her as salvation. Others, a mystery. And all will come to love her in their own way. Yet darkness lingers beyond the trees, and as the whispers of witchcraft grow louder, her moonlit garden will become both sanctuary and battleground - where love and destiny entwine like roots beneath the earth.

For seventeen-year-old Dahlia Winters, this is her truth. Her coping mechanism is to simply forget and deny the strangeness that is her life. Orphaned, her past remains a mystery. Now residing with a foster family, she finally feels normal-or attempts to. Yet, dreams continue to torment her. Not only consumed by visions of miraculously healing wounds, but of a lust for something she should never naturally crave. Then a green-eyed stranger enters her life echoing her inner thoughts and voicing warnings about others wanting to harm her. He knows things about her that no one should possibly know, and he awakens her in ways she never expected. This leads Dahlia to discover who she really is, for she is more than just human. With this newfound knowledge, and the elements suddenly fighting against her, she finds it hard to trust anyone. And as she finally awakens and comes to grips with the power she possesses, she fights to stay alive. Before the world, as she knows it, ceases to exist. (ᴘʀᴇᴠɪᴏᴜꜱʟʏ ꜱᴇʟꜰ-ᴘᴜʙʟɪꜱʜᴇᴅ)Complete

Royal Flame
Fate has a deeply poignant way of reshaping lives, as beautifully captured in the story of a young woman named Liora. With a kind heart and a spirit full of warmth, Liora lived with an intellectual disability that made her journey through life all the more challenging.

For her mate, the powerful Lycan named Malzahar, Liora's unique needs were nothing but a facet of her beauty; he cherished her as a queen long before their bond was officially recognized.

Yet, beneath the surface, there existed secrets that held the potential to change their lives forever. As Liora and Malzahar traversed the complexities of their relationship and the expectations of their pack, they discovered that life's challenges, rather than tearing them apart, offered invaluable lessons in compassion and empathy. Together, they came to understand that love, resilience, and understanding could turn obstacles into opportunities, proving that with the right partner by your side, even the most difficult paths can lead to the most beautiful, fulfilling destinations.
