In the vast nomadic lands beyond Brennath Amar and the Solure desert, there are few places that remain relatively untouched by the savagery and displacement of ancient wars.  The walled city of Divaros is still among the few where one can rest one's mind and be happy.  Guarded by both its natural resources and remote terrain, as well as a mysterious and covert peace forged long ago in blood and magic by its ruler Kyle, Divaros remains a pristine vanguard in a world overrun with threats.  

Divaros and its people will soon have the grace it no longer questions, shaken by outside sources that may or may not be advantageous to its very existence.  Many will be tested, some will be found wanting, and some will emerge as leaders in a fraught and still dangerous world in need of hope.

Lucien's Folly is part one of the Divaros story.  Lucien, son of Kyle Temedis, the ruler of Divaros, senses the impending changes coming to his homeland but he sees few ways to protect everyone and everything precious to him particularly Dahlia, the woman who means more to him than anyone.

Ariella doesn't want to love a human, they have ruined her world, tried to steal from her, taken those she loved away from her and made her life difficult on a regular basis. Rogues still roam the planet, avoiding detection and hounding the family property with constant attacks. One little prophecy keeps the Mordecai family in the rogues sights, continuing their efforts to return control of the planet to the humans. Ariella doesn't want to love a dark being either. They too have ruined her world, lying and cheating on her. Some of those men from her past can be ignored, avoided by choice. But there are some that she can not avoid. There is one from her past that she wished she never had to look at again. He might be her past but he is her present too, creating inner turmoil for Ariella. Social functions and elder meetings have always been hell for Ariella, having to face the one man she wished she could plunge a stake into. Lucian Eliade Leonte. As the son of the ruler of the realm, her former boyfriend is always going to be a part of her social circle, always going to be a part of her life. In her eighty-five years of life, all Ariella has ever wanted was to be loved by someone who would do the right thing by her. But the men that had entered her life had taken a knife to her world, twisting it in her heart and causing grief. Sworn off all men, she now lives her love life through her feeding. Never exposing herself, never letting her guard down. Her frozen heart is rock hard, never to be broken. At least, that was what she hoped. One slave bought for duties at her family residence will change how Ariella lives her life. Can the slave break through the facade of a domineering, cold hearted woman to be the love of her life? Or will he be like all the men before him, becoming a liar and a thief? © This story is copyrighted no part may be reproduced by any process nor may any other exclusive right be exercised without the permission of xMishx 2013/14

From the day she discovered her magical talents, Talwyn Farrier has been haunted by the same dream. Stranded in unfamiliar lands, she's tormented by swarming shadows, her missing father's cries, and the full face of the green moon, Vidias, looming over her. When her latest hope for insight into her dream hits another dead end, she's convinced her journey to the jungle-bound city of Trocari was all for nothing. New places bring new possibilities, however. After a fateful meeting with a travelling trio and their eccentric benefactor, Talwyn receives a golden opportunity to find the answers she needs in exchange for filling in on a routine job.

Dangers mundane and magical gather at every turn. As their quest takes them beyond - and below - the bustling streets of Trocari, risks and revelations push Talwyn and her companions to their limits. Can they unearth the source of the corruption at the city's heart? How far will they go to protect their new bonds? And how does it all connect to the secrets locked in Talwyn's ever-present dream? ------ Updates on Thursdays.

Since Esmera was abandoned on a stranger's doorstep as a baby, the only person who has looked out for her is herself. Until a lark starts visiting her, leaving behind exotic flowers and iridescent pebbles that the internet doesn't recognise. Esmera can't believe her eyes when she recognises the lark in a painting in a museum. Her investigation takes her to the home of the museum owner, Tauram - a man who is more than he seems. When a magical force summons Esmera and Tauram to Milatanur, the hidden kingdom that is their home, they have no choice but to answer the call. Soon, it is not their decades-long betrothal that binds them but feelings they must ignore for the sakes of their fractured pasts and precarious futures. Around them, nature rebels under the unjust rule of a cruel sorcerer, threatening to engulf Milatanur. The formidable King Ruagu has spies everywhere, and those who aren't on his side turn to it out of fear. Loyalty will rot into betrayal, blood will be paid, and Esmera will be presented with her destiny to wield a weapon of unparalleled power. But only if she can elude her dark past long enough. *** Cover by @-DeeIsDead-
