WIP Introduction: Broken Sky
​
Genre/vibes:
Adult fantasy, adventure, comedy/dramedy
Type:
Standalone
Story:
When the A’ Shae Light is slain, and Stars no longer glow, so then the Sky will open wide and swallow those Below. The sky has cracked, a war's been fought, a prophecy found, and Lonan Fiddershin is about to unveil a conspiracy sixteen years in the making. One that points an ugly finger at his own king. His discovery takes a turn when he finds a strange glowing object on his bed - a lost A' Shae artifact - alongside a note warning him to keep it hidden. Soon after, Lonan comes face to face with an assassin and a legion of royal guards. Killers sent by the king, himself, in hopes of silencing the history Lonan means to unearth. Upon a narrow escape, he teams up with a pair of unlikely, inter-rivaling allies: a fiery berserker with something to hide, and a stoic priestess hungry for vengeance. But each night there are fewer stars than before; the sky wound cuts deeper, and their time is running out. Lonan must use the artifact to find the last A' Shae, to help recover the magic that was stolen from them, and somehow convince a band of people who would rather watch the world burn to save it. Before it's too late.

WIP Introduction: The Last Lambs
​
Genre/vibes:
Dark adult fantasy, epistolary, mystery, noir
Type:
Standalone
Story:
In a post-post-apocalyptic world, disgraced Finder Searu-Fal Evima takes on what she believes to be a simple kidnapping case. All across the Fold, children have been disappearing, and grisly murders are on the rise. Her own case is not all it appears to be, and soon Searu finds herself chasing down a notorious killer with a horrible secret. But there are whispers... of rival cities set to war, of mythic cults, and an ancient power that shouldn't exist. To learn the truth, and live to tell it, Searu must fight her way through a tangled web of rumors, spies, and two-faced allies. Only then can she decide which truths are worth living...and dying for.

Updates:
Draft two completed, with beta feedback. Cleaning up the next draft to prepare for querying (and possibly another round of betas).
