Just because you're chosen, doesn't mean you want to be

Nicolas loves his village life just the way it is, everything as it's supposed to be.

When he is chosen for a task, he finds himself going out into a world he knows little about and feels completely unprepared for. His only comfort is that all he has to do is deliver a message. That should be pretty simple, right?

One near death experience later, Nicolas finds himself in a world of heroes, villains, magic and far too many undead creatures for his liking.

Caught up in events he can't control, he must, with the strange companions he meets along the way, foil a plot that may destroy his Kingdom as he knows it, maybe even the world. Thousands of lives are in the hands of someone who has never even picked up a sword, but at least he knows not to hold it by the pointy end.

Start your journey into the magical (and often dangerous) world of Etherius here, and follow this unlikely group of companions as they battle and banter their way through all manner of perils!

In Aidan's world, magic means power.

Indebted to a cruel duke, Aidan and his older brother make ends meet by tending sheep out in the country. It's a bit boring, and the sheep can get really stinky, but Aidan wouldn't have it any other way. His brother is the only family he has left.

When his brother is taken, Aidan refuses to sit by and do nothing. He enrolls in Mountainfall Academy to become a powerful Mage or Adventurer.

From the moment he enters the academy, it's clear the deck is stacked against him. He's an outcast with little knowledge of magic and a rival who'll stop at nothing to get him expelled. With the help of some new friends, he might survive his first year, but only if he can learn to control his unique magic.

If you love coming of age magic academy stories with found families, dragons, and other mythical creatures, Mountainfall Academy is for you. A clean teen high fantasy novel that adults will enjoy as well, this adventure is perfect for fans of Robyn Wideman, Pedro Urvi, and DK Holmberg.

Our parting shattered one soul and healed the other, carving a rift between worlds that may never mend.

Paislee

My family faded into the shadows of memory the moment I fled the cursed bounds of Ryker's estate.

Ten years passed in silence, until an unexpected message from my sister, Pandora, pulled me back like a spell I couldn't resist. I had no map, yet the path unfolded in my mind as if etched there by ancient magic. Even when a dark stranger warned me to pivot, I continued, drawn inexorably toward the place I'd sworn never to return.

Ryker may be gone, but something malevolent still clings to the land like a stain on my soul. An unseen force coils in the air, whispering secrets I can't quite hear. I ache to run—to vanish again—before I'm forced to face the remnants of my bloodline… or whatever they've become.

Pandora

I missed her.

Not in the sweet, aching way poets write about—but like a curse that wouldn't lift, a shadow clinging to my every step.

But I'm chasing one outcome, one forbidden hunt. The one person capable of granting it has been exiled. Now, with the fractured remnant of my family on the verge of reunion, the chance to reclaim the life I once dared to dream lies days away. So close I can taste the magic in the air.

All it will cost me is everything.

Every loyalty. Every oath. Every life tethered to mine.

I only have to betray them all.

Romantic & sexy dreams link a false princess to a dangerous, disgraced fae prince in this fun, steamy enemies-to-lovers romantasy.

In her dreams, he envelops her in love. In real life, he imprisons her in ice.

Assassin, liar, impersonator—dreamer.

As a royal decoy, trained to replace the Krastel princess even in a political marriage, Astra's life is not her own. With a duty like that, how can she dream about love?

And yet she knows she has a kindred soul. She can feel his presence every night, holding her in his arms, surrounding her with his warmth.

But ice-cold reality crashes in when Astra's carriage is attacked by the Crystal Court's disgraced prince. Banished for heinous crimes and armed with powerful stolen relics, he's a wielder of mighty magic and can even infiltrate minds.

It turns out that he is the man in her dreams.

And this is about to get very, very awkward... 😳

A Cursed Son is a fun, sexy, enemies-to-lovers romantic fantasy for fans of fae, elemental magic, arranged marriage, forced proximity, snarky banter, and dream connection.

The ruthless Arcaian soldiers use tears to steal magic, and now, they're after me.

In an emotionless world, tears are a precious commodity, valued for their magic and sold on the black market. When I find a vial of these enchanted tears, it paints a target on my back with the Arcaians.

I can't defend myself against an army, so when one of their rogue soldiers offers to help, I'm forced to create an alliance; but aligning with the rugged, battle-scarred Talon comes with risks of its own. Especially when his heavily guarded secrets put us both in more danger than I could ever have imagined.

Aside from not wanting to become a magic-producing slave to the Arcaians, I can't help but be drawn to Talon. But when I discover his darkest secret of all, his allegiance wavers, leaving me with no one I can trust.

Now I have no choice but to take up this fight alone. The tears have chosen me as their guardian, and if they fall into the wrong hands, my people and their magic will be enslaved to the Arcaians forever.

Fans of Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo will love the bold twists, riveting worldbuilding, and slow-sizzle romance of Chosen Guardian!

**Updated 4/10/2025**
Our traditions are old, but my wrath is fresh.

Dragonis Academy makes rulers or weapons, and I don't need a crown to prove myself.

My plan is to enter the academy, march into Shadowcarve, and sharpen into the blade my father always wanted.

I'm a Shadowblade, the hidden knife in the night—unseen by you, unexpected by them, honed for a marriage I never wanted.

Dad took the girl I was, but the woman I am is untouchable.

A fated mate will break my chains, and Dragonis Academy? They're about to learn what real terror is.

I'm not bending the knee unless I'm kicking the old ways in the teeth.
