Henrietta can burst into flames.
Forced to reveal her power to save a friend, she's shocked when instead of being executed, she's named the first female sorcerer in hundreds of years and invited to train as one of Her Majesty's royal sorcerers.
Thrust into the glamour of Victorian London, Henrietta is declared the prophesied one, the girl who will defeat the Ancients, bloodthirsty demons terrorizing humanity. She also meets her fellow sorcerer trainees, handsome young men eager to test her power and her heart. One will challenge her. One will fight for her. One will betray her.
But Henrietta is not the chosen one.
As she plays a dangerous game of deception, she discovers that the sorcerers have their own secrets to protect. With battle looming, how much will she risk to save the city--and the one she loves?

Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow. Genres: Epic Fantasy • Medieval Intrigue • War & Politics • Slow-Burn Power Struggle • Loyalty vs Destiny For readers who love: The Witcher, Game of Thrones, Vinland Saga, political intrigue, tragic heroes, and worlds carved by snow and steel
The Coven of Echoes:- Binding Shadows
In the ancient city of Vaedrah, where the streets twisted like the pages of an old grimoire and the air crackled with the power of forgotten rituals, magic was as natural as breathing. It flowed through the veins of the city's inhabitants-its witches, wizards, and spellcasters-who came from all corners of the world to study at the Coven of Echoes, an academy renowned for its diverse teachings and mystical traditions. But Vaedrah was not a singular place, nor were its witches of one mind. There were sects, each with their own schools of magic, each with their own philosophy of how to channel the arcane energy that pulsed beneath the surface of the world. From the ancient Druids, guardians of nature and elemental magic, to the enigmatic Voodoo witches, practitioners of the spirit world, to the meticulous alchemists and the wild sorcerers who conjured spells from thin air-the city held a rich diversity of magical knowledge, each tradition with its own unique complexity.Complete
