The boundaries between real and myth may be fading, but the people of Iherion is not prepared to face the nightmares from their childhood, nor are they willing to accept an orphaned, power-less girl as one of their own.
When Khoeli leaves behind the monastery where she grew up, she unknowingly sets into motion plans that have been brewing for hundreds and hundreds of years. But with a past that's still foggy and little idea of the power she holds, how can she ever learn to lead Iherion against the shadows? Are the shadows even the true enemy?
The fall of the Tu'uli upended Zamir's former life as a guard's son. Distraught and left fatherless by the murders, he unwittingly formed a lifelong contract with the mythical Mo'ori - gifting him with raw power flowing through his veins. But when a retrieval mission puts him face to face with a person he thought was dead, it takes every ounce of his being to hold back the truth about her past.
While Khoeli takes her first steps into her newfound powers, Zamir grapples with a terrifying secret as the ghosts of the two's tangled past come to collect their dues.

The Shadow of the East is a monster. Tyrin Caderyn is no better. They've met before, but memory painted each a ghost and a flicker of familiarity. Both of them hail from strong and vicious bloodlines. Time and tragedy and choice bind them together. War is on the horizon, and Shadow is in the midst of schemes and plans greater than her. She's on the run from a man she learned to hate, and her own past. Her secrets can destroy her. Tyrin is an Elite warrior for the Ilystari Realm and answers only to the king and queen. When he's sent to hunt down a powerful female, he doesn't question the orders. But when he meets her, everything changes. Darkness encroaches and alliances break. Bonds are formed and friendships shatter. There is a greater power at play than either of them realized. Has fate drawn them together, or something stronger? -- She huffed a quiet laugh. "Well, I suppose I'll get paid one way or another for his death. If you let me keep his body, you have a deal." Tyrin darted his eyes back to gauge the honesty of her response, but she sounded sincere. He finally nodded. Her grin was nothing shy of wicked. Something inside his chest reared it's sleeping head and purred at that expression. "I hope you and I never meet again. These Realms aren't ready for us." Weren't ready for her, he wanted to correct. A shiver of a promise zinged through his blood and he grinned back at her. "What's your name, little assassin?" She started melting back into the shadows - back the way she'd come to give him the privacy of the kill. "I am no one and nothing. Forget about me, pretty male. It won't do to dwell on a shadow." And then she was gone.Complete
Selena - The Twin Moons
A young orphan with unique powers is on the run from assassins alongside a mysterious young man. 🌙 When passion and power collide, nothing-not even a prophecy-can dictate the future. 🌙 Selena wasn't meant to exist. Newly arrived in a distant family, she discovers she carries the powers of two feuding Lunn lineages: telekinetics and telepaths. An impossible combination that inspires both awe and fear. Hunted and thrust into the center of an ancient, ambiguous prophecy, she's forced to ally with Nikolas, an elusive boy whose cunning and silence conceal dangerous secrets. Between mistrust, biting remarks, and attraction, neither dares to admit a fragile bond form. Essential. And ready to shatter at the slightest misstep. While the prophecy identifies her as the phoenix, it also cautions that through her, an evil force will awaken. The enigma persists: is this shadow an object, or a person? Amid betrayals and revelations, hatred and passion, Selena must find her place in a world where power is memory and emotion-and where love may prove her greatest weakness. 🌙 If you enjoy low-fantasy tales with romance, suspense, and unexpected twists, this novel is for you. 🌙 A huuge thank you to @BleuSaphir51 for the stunning cover (which I translated)!

GODUS (Engl.)
The city holds its breath. Bells fall silent, markets cease, even the sea seems to freeze its rhythm. A judgment awaits: the execution of a student suspected of carrying the legacy of the demon. But who is this boy? He comes from a remote desert village, hidden from the world. A quiet observer, more familiar with the pages of old books than with the voices of his peers. Raised by his aunt, while his mother-herself a servant of the goddess Thal'ra-regards him as a stranger. On his seventeenth birthday, the great festival begins. And for the first time in years, he speaks again with Elyra. She lives in the village like he does, yet comes from beyond its borders. A foreigner, and yet familiar. Between them something stirs that surprises them both: an unexpected closeness. But as the celebrations unfold, one figure remains missing: Zaire's teacher, his master since childhood. No one knows where he has gone. And as the absence of his presence grows heavier, two figures in white cloaks draw near. They carry prisoners whose very sight raises questions. Why has the teacher vanished? What are these figures? Who are the prisoners? And why does his own mother cast him aside so mercilessly... A web of faith, betrayal, and hidden truths tightens. And at its center stands a boy who will soon learn that even the most distant desert lies beneath the gaze of the gods.
