Only the banished know what lies beyond the woods... There are whispers of what lurks in Witch Knell, the forest where sinners perish. The villagers call it The Eating Woods because what's taken is never returned. Only the banished dare to approach. Maevyth Bronwick knows better than to enter the misty labyrinth, but tragedy forces her beyond the archway of bones into a dark, fantastical world. There dwells Zevander Rydainn, the cursed lord of Eidolon-a cold-blooded assassin-tasked with hiding her from the magehood that seeks her death. Zevander must protect Maevyth, whose blood can break his curse. But his growing obsession with her threatens to destroy everything. Including himself.

The narrative highlights the tension between hope and inevitability, ultimately questioning whether love alone can alter a predetermined destiny.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things- I'd find the cure for what ravaged her-and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I receive an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, a secluded, prestigious school on an island off the coast of Maine. Legends say it's haunted by the exiled souls of long-dead patients. But the ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity. Devryck Bramwell, known on campus as Doctor Death, is my devastatingly handsome professor. He loathes first-years like me-yet his dark gaze tells me all the ways he'd devour me if given the chance, and his stolen kisses burn with forbidden jealousy. Together, we're a toxic disaster waiting to be exposed. And when the truth surfaces, we may be the ones to resurrect Dracadia's most depraved secret.

A love so forbidden, it would shake the heavens. My father called them messengers.He once told me they walked among us, and that somewhere in this dark and godless city, there shined a faint sliver of hope. I had only to look for the signs. Well, I’ve spent my whole life investigating the inexplicable, and all I've found are the unsettling vestiges of iniquity - the evidence of another world shrouded by the obscure. Purgatory to some, where depravity hides in shadows, and girls like me are little more than delicious bites of temptation. Others call it Nightshade. This peculiar place is where I first met the cold and callous recluse living in a decaying cliffside cathedral. Jericho Van Croix is the epitome of everything I’ve been told to fear. A raven-winged harbinger who wears intrigue like a warm black cloak. An enigma that I’m determined to unravel – even if it means getting closer than I should. One touch is forbidden. Even so much as a kiss would be my demise. But the sin on his lips burns me up like a wild flame, and his growing infatuation weakens my resolve. Giving him what he wants, though, will mean no chance for redemption, or escape. What's worse is, the signs I’ve followed yet failed to see all these years begin to unmask a terrifying reality: That falling may be my only saving grace.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born.Funny how things changed over time. How the fairy tale twisted into something far more crooked, darker than I ever imagined.In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.Lucian Blackthorne is as cursed as I am, and equally shunned by the locals, the fishers of men, who believe him to be the devil in the flesh.Perhaps he is, with the way his amber eyes draw me in, ignite me like an infernal blaze. And the sins he whispers in my ear are as wickedly intoxicating as the man himself.Yet, his touch is heaven and his will is my weakness.He calls us forbidden, an unsalvageable tragedy, with no happy end. Maybe we are. But in this story, he’s the one who needs saving.

Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told. Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers. Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew.Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out.For some, they’re nothing more than the vestiges left behind—a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree.My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth.Juniper Unraveling is a full-length standalone romance set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Sequel to Juniper Unraveling. I was fourteen when I was sold to the men in black uniforms. Too young to understand I served a purpose beyond that of the other girls they’d taken. For the greater good. Now, after four years in Calico, I’ve seen more death and suffering than during my days of surviving out in the Deadlands against the threat of Ragers and famine. I didn’t think this world could get any bleaker. Didn’t think it could take any more from me than it already had. Not until I finally learned my purpose. That same day, I walked the dark halls in the bowels of this hell, where the suffering is in silence, and ghosts of the dead whisper through the walls. A place where nightmares are real. A place where I met my Champion—the most revered Alpha in S-Block—locked away in his dark cell. For the greater good. He’s their weapon, their only line of defense against the mistakes of the past: the mutations that could wipe out all of what’s left of us. Me, I’m his whipping girl. His reward for good behavior. And his punishment for acts of defiance.

Decades have passed since our world was decimated by the Dredge. Some say it was an act of God. Others believe the devil himself breached the gates of hell and turned the masses into the mindless infected with an appetite for carnage.Those of us who’ve survived the Calico experiments know the only thing more terrifying than the monsters that seek to ravage what’s left of us, are the men who created them. Ones too capable of hiding their true form, and burying their darkest secrets.Somewhere beneath the facility lies the answers, a cure for our suffering. To reach it, we’ll have to open the haunting tomb, where man’s deadliest mistakes, the most violent mutations, lie trapped within its tunnels, waiting to be set free.Our only hope in surviving them are the very Alphas who were designed to hunt us down. The titans forged by cruelty and pain.Kings of carrion.We taught them to love, and in turn, they vow to protect us. To deliver the cure for humanity’s sake. Except this world doesn’t give without taking, and any chance of saving us will require the greatest sacrifice of all.SERIES Unraveling (Book 1)Calico Descending (Book 2)Kings of Carrion (Book 3)
