I, Ruin
I used to play my father's obedient daughter, keeping my assassin training secret, my best friend safe, and fantasizing in secret about Lunar Davith Adurian, the scarred, smirky guy who was always nearby, pausing in a space of heat behind me, his breath near my hair while dusky blushes graced my skin.Then the mutation leaves us writhing on the classroom floor, no breath, no scream. I stagger up along with the other students, dazed and disoriented. Feathers of vivid hues unfold from our shoulders and whisper over our skin. But our professor's wings swarm with spiders and my crazy takes over and—I leave him dead on the sun-drenched floor.Now on the run with Lunar, I wage an underground war a...
Heiress of Healing
The people of the Seven Demesnes live in unease. Every generation, seven sons are born to rule their seven walled cities. Without them, mankind is fated to fall. Now, something is killing them before they can be born. When Iminique Demascus senses a nameless evil striking at the unborn royal children, she has to make a choice. A noblewoman and a healer in a world where aristocrats and mages belong to different castes, she is forbidden by her father to ever heal. Breaking his dictate, she saves a single girl child. No one thanks her. Neither the child's parents nor the people want a girl, reviling her for surviving when the males perished. Left as the princess's sole protector and faced with adversity and hostility from nearly every quarter, Iminique allies herself with the wizard who once dragged her to the brink of death and then inexplicably let her go; a wizard who has his own secret agenda and casts spells that should be impossible. Meanwhile, in the south, a young sorceress falls prey to an ancient enemy, one weaving his own plans for bringing mankind to its knees.
Under a Caged Sky
"You have three hours to tell us where she is, or else we kill him." That's the choice they give me. Betray my best friend, or let my partner die. As if I haven't already seen him die once. As if I don't already know the annihilation of watching it happen while I'm held back by those who should protect us. But then they offer me a second choice. Tell them my story and set him free. It's a no-brainer. I tell it. It's a story of learning to live with wings, of falling in love in a caged city, of the illusion of freedom in a world where everything is controlled and no one around me is who I think they are. But mostly it's about how far I'm willing to go for love. And how far I'm not.

No One to Save Her
*Serycia Fade, a slave marked for death...* I run into the most impoverished level of our walled city, where poisons and toxins swirl in oily black puddles on the streets, and people are gathering in a square in line for food. But they can't be here. I scream at them to get out, get away. And the world explodes. *Soren Lost, a Level 1 nonentity...* She breaks into my life like a shard of sunlight shining in a squalid world just before the square explodes. Staggering out of the rubble, she offers me a pill that will give me a month of health in exchange for me getting her back out of Level 1. Only thing is, a powerful man has her marked for death; she's got city protectors on her tail; her former master has been mind-wiped and doesn't remember she exists; and I have a sister to protect. I should refuse, should leave her mired in her own troubles. But there's no one else to save her. So I take the month of health and do my damnedest to save her myself. Good thing, too, because if I get her to the lab on Level 3, her research might be the key to finding the cure for the virus that dooms us all to die at twenty-six. If I can keep her alive that long.

Wishes and Whispers and Sibilant Hisses
Wishes Once, no one loved her. She lived solitary and neglected behind castle walls, her parents only half-there, the servants having long fled. Fantasizing away her days, the abandoned princess put herself together into a young woman by carelessly stuffing all the empty nooks in her life full of books and wishes and imprudent dreams. She lived all unsuspecting that, far away, a youth existed who had never had a library from which to pilfer books. He only knew a world from which he stole souls. Whispers No one loved him, either. He'd once been a goblin's captive, and several of his human fragments had been pared away-like his conscience. And so, when he infiltrated her deserted castle, he had no trouble at all trailing wicked whispers around the put-together princess, promising to give her her greatest wish: companionship. But after what he'd done to her father, could she really trust him? Sibilant hisses Not that it mattered what he or she did, because the goblin king spied from his thousand windows into the world, and he had his own wishes...
The Wicked Orc
Orc boys sometimes grow up to be wicked... On a dreamlike day, an impulsive princess kissed a dying orc boy in a sunlit garden. Years later, failing to save her kingdom which balances on the brink of revolt, she flees a nightmarish reality to track down her exiled elven love. He's been ruthlessly slain. And the remorseless orc who killed him cages her in his fortress. He locks her behind bars by day and demands too much of her by night. Gradually, though, he unveils to her his world, his people, his tormented past, his embittered soul, and she stumbles into moments of unanticipated resplendence and overpowering bliss. The lines between good and bad blur. But she has to stand her ground. She has to shield her heart. Because how can a captive confined to a gilded cage freely give a heart whose love has blossomed in a poisoned prison? Reviewer reactions: "...really perversely compelling in some awful way... I love, love, love, love OMG love that he is all, "Pretend I'm him - your lover." So many feels! It's so f*cked up and so great." Trigger warning: a fiercely emotional captive/captor romance, kissing/touching for trade ('do this for x'), and a heroine who will survive it all
The Splintered Princess
A magic dagger. A beautiful man. And me. We were a match made to be destroyed. The dagger lured me in with whispers: I was meant to be an empress, not a farm girl, simple, sequestered and common. Daring to dream of power and love, I picked the dagger up. And I reached for him. Avid and ardent, we were both vicious in strength and feral at heart. But he protected those he loved while I-heedless, rash, slapdash with my emotions-played carelessly with the lives and hearts around me. But others played better. My country's overlord kidnapped my family and forced me into a charade: be a decoy princess to protect his queen. My weapons trainer hid his true agenda as he taught me to fight with sword and dagger, to identify poisons, to ingest them, and to sever my soul. Even the spirit of the man I loved suppressed a secret savagery behind his charm. But his spirit, split from his body, was no equal for his physical form. Captured by the enemy and warped into an atrocity, his true self made our love a battlefield... strewn with a thousand downfalls... one for every time I defied him.
