The Lies of Lena

2024

Passionate and Dark. Forbidden Romance. Forced Proximity. Angst.The Otacian Chronicles is a Dark Romantasy that will progressively get darker as the series continues. Please be mindful of the content warnings. Lena Daelyra has always lived in fear, as do most Mages in Tovagoth. Mages are discriminated against, hunted for sport, and have no laws that provide them protection. She has kept to herself her entire life, even after she and her mother found a permanent residence in the kingdom of Otacia. That is until she meets Quill Callon, a handsome resident of the Inner Ring, who agrees to train her in weaponry—a safe way of defending herself. As her feelings for Quill develop, she is taunted by the reminder that she can never show her true self, show what she really is. Not even to him. Silas La’Rune, Crown Prince of Otacia, has been kept inside the castle walls since he was five years old, since the kidnapping and murder of his younger sister, the Princess. He hasn’t known freedom. Hasn’t even seen his kingdom, except from the castle windows. It isn’t until the Queen allows him one day outside the walls that he sees Otacia for himself. One day that changes everything. When something devastating separates Lena from the man she grows to love, things are not the same when they find each other five years later. Not at all. And when Lena and Silas’s story finally becomes intertwined, it is clear the fate of Magekind rests on both of their shoulders.

The Sins of Silas

2024

Passionate and Dark. Forbidden Romance. Forced Proximity. Angst. The Otacian Chronicles is a Dark Romantasy that will progressively get darker as the series continues. Please be mindful of the content warnings. “I felt it then…felt how her presence was nothing more than a constant tease—a reminder that he could not satiate that hunger… could not feast on what it was he truly desired.” Five years ago, Silas La’Rune lost everything. After the deaths of his mother and Lena Daelyra, the love of his life, something in Silas changed, turning him into a cold, merciless man. His sole purpose became eradicating the kind he believed responsible for those deaths. Witches. Silas, also known to the people of Tovagoth as “The Slayer of Witches,” ended lives without remorse. Without mercy. Until one day, he raided a Mage village and saw her. Turns out Lena was very much alive. Not only that, but she had hidden her identity for the entirety of their romance. She herself was a witch—a Mage. Despite his anger and hatred for the Mages, Silas showed mercy when he met eyes with the woman he had once loved. The two joined forces, wishing to recruit allies to not only overthrow Ulric La’Rune, the King of Otacia, but to rally against the necromancer that now terrorized the land. While hiding their history from their friends, Lena and Silas must battle their rising feelings for one another amidst their forced proximity, where every glance serves as a reminder of the many days they were tangled beneath the sheets, lost in each other’s embrace. Silas couldn’t be with Lena, couldn’t hold her in his arms or feel her lips against his...because he was a married man now. But despite his commitment to another, he couldn’t get his first love out of his mind. In this thrilling sequel to The Lies of Lena, Lena Daelyra and friends travel south on the continent, fighting various foes while piecing together ancient prophecies in the hopes of finding Oquerene, a realm the seer Igon Natarion has entrusted Lena to find. This triple\-POV action\-packed romantasy novel is filled with romantic tension, sexy banter, and heartbreak.

The Memories of Merrick

2025

These are the forty‑three missing days that rewrite the meaning of everything you thought you knew. Set during the 43 unaccounted days at the heart of The Sins of Silas, this pivotal installment returns to the Valley of Awakening, a realm that reveals not only truth, but desire. Trapped in isolation and uncertainty, Merrick and Erabella are forced to rely on each other to survive. What begins as cautious cooperation soon unravels into something more a forbidden tension born from proximity and the unspoken ache of everything they’ve lost. As the days go on, cracks form in the armor they’ve both worn too long, and with every trial, the carefully drawn lines between them begin to blur. Through traumatic flashbacks, fragments of their pasts begin to surface. As truths are revealed and walls crumble, the bond between them grows–not just physical, but soul-deep. And when the final page brings us back to the moment of betrayal, now seen through Erabella’s eyes, everything makes sense. Because love and survival rarely walk the same path, and sometimes, choosing one means damning the other.
