When they were five, Sawyer Everwood drew a hex sign on Luke Evanston's arm with finger paint and he couldn't move his hand for the next three days. When they were eight, she turned his favorite Spiderman action figure into a duck. When they were twelve, her pet dog/dragon/demon, Ernie, burned and then ate their science fair project. (Mrs. Dimico wasn't too impressed by a piece of charred cardboard).
But now they're fifteen, and Sawyer's "incidents" take on a whole new meaning. She's now destined to become the most powerful being in centuries.
And with power comes war.
Updates Thursday.

Bloom & Blood (Intersex)
In a world where loyalty is currency and power is everything, two women from opposite sides of life collide in a slow-burn love story laced with danger, healing, and passion. Siena Vale is a soft-hearted, resilient young woman trying to rebuild a quiet life after the death of her parents. With her teenage sister Lila depending on her, Siena puts her own dreams on hold, working multiple jobs and living in a cramped apartment with two close friends. Beneath her calm surface is a girl who's been through hell-especially with her ex-boyfriend Ethan, who started sweet but turned abusive and obsessive. Even after she left him, he continues to stalk and torment her, turning her daily life into a nightmare. Everything changes when Siena lands a job as a secretary at a private firm with intimidating luxury and tight security. It's there she meets Kingston "King" Moretti-a dominant, suited mafia stud with sharp eyes, quiet control, and a reputation soaked in blood and respect. Known as "The Stud King" in the underground world, King is a woman who commands fear in every room she enters-fierce, calculated, and unshakable. But beneath her tailored armor is a deeply private soul who's used to protecting everyone but herself. Siena is unlike anyone King has ever encountered-gentle, kind, and utterly unfazed by power. She's not afraid to speak up, even when her voice shakes. Her softness challenges King's cold world. And when King discovers the shadows chasing Siena-an ex who won't let go-her instinct is immediate and fierce: "Nobody hurts what's mine." What starts as protection evolves into something deeper. Sparks fly in the quiet glances, in late-night talks, in the way Siena softens King's hardened edges. But love doesn't come easy in a world like King's. As enemies close in and Ethan grows more dangerous, Siena finds herself caught between the peaceful life she wanted-and the dangerously beautiful woman who makes her feel truly safe for the first time.Complete
Deck of Fate
Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it. She has no desire to become a Diamond, with their supernatural intelligence, or a Heart with elemental magic, or Gods forbid, one of those pretentious special-powered Spades.

But when the Assembly brands her as a Spade, Elora's world is upended. Thrust into a deadly training base where survival is a test of will, she must navigate a world of privilege and power while grappling with her own prejudices.

When assigned to serve one of the most prestigious families in Arcana, she believes she's found her way out. But her newfound life of luxury comes at a cost, as she uncovers dangerous secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she wanted. As Elora and Rhiya's paths diverge, they must navigate the truth about their society, their symbols, and themselves. When the Clubs disappear and Arcana's fragile balance of power starts to crack, Elora and Rhiya must choose between embracing their new roles or dismantling the system that defines them.

I was a dead soul in the body of a youth. I would have cried if I was strong enough, but I was not... We both knew the pain too well. She was an anomaly and I was a reject. We may seem desperate for something more, but we both want a future. She wondered if she would ever find true happiness again. I wondered if anyone would accept me for who I truly was."

Remi's Great Escape (Forestfolk Prequel)
Before he ever met Siena, before he knew Foresthome even existed, Remi was an Aberration living under the iron-fisted rules of his tribe. Learn how a spirited and resourceful 12-year-old boy ousted his Plainsman oppressors in this prequel to the Forestfolk series. A little shoutout to maniacgirl for inspiring the title of this story. Though the events in this short story take place before Book 1 in the series, I recommend reading it AFTER you finish "Siena." I think it will be more satisfying that way, because then you'll understand the little Book 1 references I've planted here and there. Finally, the format of the title and cover for this story is different from the rest of the series. That's because I consider this to be bonus material rather than a continuation of the series. It's only 12 chapters long. I may change the cover at some point, but in the meantime, this is what I have. :)Complete
