Ice pirates...supernatural killer wolves....a country locked in ice.
Stranded in the backwards, superstitious city of Snowblitzki, Miss Damaris Evans is fleeing an arranged marriage when she books passage on the ice boat Bera. Little does she know that it's a ship of secrets. From the good-natured young Captain Cameron Hawk to the inept - and impossibly handsome - cabin boy Axel, no one on the Bera is what they seem.
A staunch believer in the transformative power of science and steam, Mari is skeptical of the old ways and the powerful magic of the Snow Sorceress that is accepted as common knowledge in this part of the world. While war tears the surrounding world apart, and the evil General-Consul Koschei is said to be unleashing an army of supernatural wolf warriors on the resistance in the mountain towns, Mari begins to see first hand the perils of war and repression.
When her voyage home takes an unexpected turn, Mari must choose between her head and her heart, save Axel from the clutches of the Snow Sorceress, and defy the terrifying commander, General-Consul Koschei.

The Source (Creasan #1)
In a world where dragons rule the sky and ogres walk the earth, a young woman leads a rebellion against the corrupt king in pursuit of answers and revenge. Eighteen-year-old Thea Wyvern has hated King Favian Lance of Creasan her entire life. It isn't a hard emotion to have when she has grown up witnessing murder in the streets and starvation in her family and friends. Raised in the rebellion known as The Source, Thea has been trained and conditioned to handle herself in battles of both violence and intellect. After the king executed someone very close to her, Thea has been working towards the king's demise as The Source's new leader. When an assassination attempt goes horribly wrong, Thea becomes the king's prisoner and is given a firsthand look at the people she has loathed her entire life. She takes note of the king's insecurity, the handsome Prince Fendrel Lance's carefully restrained demeanor, the abused look of Queen Ana, and the delicate balance of court life. Armed with this knowledge, she manages to escape the palace with a new plan to help her fellow citizens. If she can find Aestus, the dragon responsible for the founding of the kingdom, she might finally be able to overthrow the horrible king. It is a perilous and risky mission, but her fellow rebels agree to the plan. Joined by the prince whose motivations may only appear to be genuine, they head for The Forbidden Mountain, where Aestus is said to live. The rebels will have to fight against the mythical creatures of the forest, the weather, and their own prejudices. Meanwhile, the king and queen are caught in their own web of danger as Ana seeks safety away from her husband and the Lance family curse sends Favian spiraling into madness. The fate of the royal family, the people of Creasan, and The Source all rest on Thea's last-ditch plan, but her own trauma might very well be the largest threat to the mission.Complete
