Magebound

Melusine’s blood is worth more than her life; just a drop can heal or harm. For eight years, she’s been shackled to the kingdom that murdered her family as they drain her and suppress her true power—hidden wings and a serpent’s tail.

A mysterious band of mages liberate her, but there’s a price to Melusine’s newfound freedom. They want her to retrieve the long missing Staff of Boreas. Though their intentions are questionable, she is in no position to deny.

But the staff doesn’t belong to the mages. Its true owner, Kalais, has been watching Melusine in her cell. He’s winged and charming, but a nasty curse is keeping him away from the staff. If the mages secure it first, he will never reclaim his rightful place as the North Wind. To help him, all Melusine has to do is betray her saviors.

Caught between her magical emancipators and a fallen immortal prince, Melusine isn’t sure who has earned her loyalty. Before she can choose, the very mages who saved her magically bind her to their will.

With her personal agency lost and her heart drawn to a man she should not trust, Melusine must fight for freedom and begin to rely on the monstrous body that has only betrayed her in the past.

The Crescent

Lydia is happy thinking she’s going to be head librarian, she never dreamed of being the empress. On the continent of Ceirlonia, powerful crystals called Gems choose the rulers of the land by embracing them with magic. Tending books becomes a distant memory when Lydia’s ever absent mother visits with one such Gem in tow. With one touch, the crescent shaped Gem embraces her, and Lydia is hurled into an adventure she never asked for.

Trahern is a mercenary running from his past as a member of the Blades when he is hired to bring Lydia back to the capital safely. The Blades have acquired a taste for the Crescent and crave revenge on Trahern. Together the pair dodge ravenous gang members and face peculiar monsters – all of whom would gladly trade Lydia's life in exchange for the Crescent and the authority it represents.

But the Blades aren’t the only obstacle that stands between Lydia and the Emperor’s throne. Strange things are happening throughout the continent. Giant beasts are ravaging the land, and people are disappearing from their homes. The longer Ceirlonia goes without an Emperor, the more it changes for the worse. The clock is ticking, and the time to restore the continent to normalcy may be running out.
