    Bound by Destiny For seventeen years, Misty Woodmarsh has lived an ordinary life. Raised by her devoted Christian mother after immigrating from Jamaica to America, Misty has always followed the rules. She earns straight A's, serves faithfully in church, and dreams of attending college. Her life has been carefully planned, carefully protected...and painfully predictable. But as her eighteenth birthday draws near, strange things begin to happen. She hears songs no one else can hear. The ocean seems to call her name. Animals stop and watch her as if they know a secret she doesn't. And her mother-once calm and unwavering in her faith-begins praying with a fear Misty has never seen before. Hidden from the human world for centuries, four ancient races have been waiting for a prophecy to awaken. A merman prince from the deepest seas. A powerful fae heir bound to the magic of the ancient forests. A fierce wolf shifter destined to lead his pack. A mysterious vampire noble who has searched centuries for the one soul promised to him. Each feels the impossible pull of a bond that should never exist. Each believes Misty belongs to him. But Misty is no ordinary human. Her eighteenth birthday will reveal a truth powerful enough to shake every supernatural kingdom and expose secrets her mother has guarded her entire life. As darkness rises and ancient enemies awaken, Misty must discover who she truly is, why four worlds are fighting for her, and whether destiny is something she can embrace...or something she must defy. Because some bonds are written in the stars. And some destinies were chosen long before the world began.

    In another world, Elara and Cait would have grown up like sisters, but that world was shattered by the choices and failures of their elders. Twenty years later, it is this same inheritance that will bring this scientifically-minded priestess and thrill-seeking thief back together in a quest to discover the truths that lie somewhere between unreliable memories and unconditional love. Following a raw, character-driven path that probes the complexities of human connection, they will face down the dangerous traps unwittingly set for them by those who love them most. But they won't face these challenges alone. They are both aided and obstructed by the very elders whose choices set them on this path; by a mysterious stranger without a past and the quiet young boy who has given him purpose, and by a magical feline who oscillates between faithful protector and indifferent demigod.

    "Darkness doesn't always hide. Sometimes, it blinds." *** Emmanuella Orinomwen Ignenedion. Meticulous. Pristine. Disciplined. Clean. A wonderful assistant pastor to my father's mega-church. That is the script I feed to the world. To my parents, I am the perfect, submissive daughter. But that is only what they are permitted to see. They have never heard the screams silenced by the fire. Or the nightmares' golden promise of unyielding terror. For a long time, I preferred it that way. I buried my survival inside a tight-knit bubble of schedules. Out of sight, out of mind. But my clockwork existence shattered the moment Mary forced her way into my orbit. Unpredictable. Uninvited. An eye that saw what no one else had seen. And she made me see too. Darkness. Gross darkness that fueled my father's church. A rotting ledger of hidden cash, stolen lives, and an ancient malice hiding right beneath our pristine marble floors. With her, I realized: Words can be as thick as knives. Smiles as thin as paper. And blood can ripple as cold as deep water. Holiness or piety is not by mere words or appearance. Because I know, now better than anyone, that anything can be faked. As even the devil masquerades as an angel of light. I spent my life blind to the abyss in my own home. This is the story of how I stopped pretending. Note: mentions of some triggering content in this book

    In the quiet village of Alderwyn, young Fenric lives with his father Brennon, a legendary apothecary whose remedies can cure illnesses beyond the abilities of ordinary healers. When Brennon mysteriously disappears during one of his regular journeys into the forest, the entire kingdom searches for him, but no trace is ever found. Refusing to accept his father's fate, Fenric ventures deeper into the woods than anyone has dared before and discovers a hidden path leading to an enchanted portal tree. Beyond it lies the Realm of the Fae, where he learns a shocking truth: Brennon was taken to help save the Fae Queen, who lies trapped in a magical sleep between life and death. To free his father and save the Queen, Fenric must journey through a series of extraordinary realms-each with its own people, wonders, and dangers-to obtain rare botanical ingredients found nowhere else. As he earns the trust of trolls, elves, goblins, dwarves, gnomes, and dragons, Fenric slowly uncovers the hidden story of his own childhood and the remarkable man who rescued and raised him. What begins as a search for a missing father becomes a life-changing adventure across magical worlds, where healing, friendship, and courage prove more powerful than any sword.

    In a family portrait, everyone smiles. But what happens when one face no longer fits the frame? Raised among good people - hardworking, generous, certain - one child begins to see cracks in the story everyone else calls truth. Love becomes a script. Belonging becomes performance. And silence grows old enough to vote. Being Known is a painterly meditation on family, identity, and the quiet rebellion of becoming someone your own blood no longer recognizes. A story about the cost of honesty - and the strange peace of stepping out of the picture.
