Lies in the Shadows
The Clans remain imprisoned. The prophecy is unraveling. And time is slipping away. Genevieve’s mission is clear—though anything but simple: free the magical Clans trapped by a centuries-long curse before her twentieth birthday. Only a few short months remain, and if she fails, every last soul will be condemned to silence, trapped forever in the paintings that hold them captive. Yet nothing could prepare her for the devastating truths hiding in the shadows—or for the dangerous attraction she can’t ignore. When she’s forced to work with her nemesis, Genevieve discovers nothing is as it seems. The king she once despised may hold the key to releasing the mythical creatures. But every secret he reveals blurs the line between ally and enemy, loyalty and betrayal, love and hate. The closer Genevieve comes to answers, the tighter the web of lies draws around her—spun not just by her adversaries, but by those she trusted most. With the freedom of hundreds of lives at stake, Genevieve must face the question she fears most: How much of herself is she willing to sacrifice to save them?
Secrets on the Wall
Magic wasn’t lost. It was imprisoned. And she is the key. When sixteen-year-old Genevieve Emberlyn brushes her hand against a dusty museum painting, the last thing she expects is to awaken a mythical creature—or stumble into a hidden world lurking in plain sight. Suddenly, she has the power to bring magical beings to life, each one tied to an ancient Clan, trapped for centuries in their painted prisons. But magic shouldn’t exist in the Twelve Cities, and Genevieve’s newfound ability puts a target on her back. When her best friend, Nox, betrays her, she’s forced to flee for her life—hunted by the King himself, a vengeful tyrant who shattered her family and won’t stop until he destroys her too. The deeper Genevieve dives into generations of lies, the more she realizes she may be the magical beings’ only hope for freedom. With her fiercely loyal sister Louanne, a mischievous shapeshifting golden retriever named Waffles, and a dangerously alluring stranger hiding secrets of his own, she must race against time to restore the balance between humans and magic—before it's too late. Secrets on the Wall is a thrilling YA fantasy filled with unexpected allies, unbreakable sisterhood, and a reluctant heroine discovering just how far she’ll go to protect the people she loves.
Mend to be Broken
She was never meant to be ordinary. After growing up in an orphanage, twenty-two-year-old Aurelia Jenkins lives an ordinary life. She loves her job, walks her dog, and spends far too much time at the local bookshop and café with her vivacious best friend, Esmee. Magic belongs in books, not in her veins. Until the night it awakens in her. A violent encounter unlocks a power she cannot explain, forcing her to flee and leave everything behind. When Aurelia meets Asher, the fire warrior sworn to protect her, sparks fly. While he may be infuriating—and, okay, his dimples are really distracting—Asher is the only one who can train her to control her abilities. Air fuels a magic in her called animadverto, and she must travel to the Kingdom in the Sky to discover her birthright. Years ago, the Purple Slay shattered the four elemental Kingdoms. No one knows who orchestrated the massacre. No one knows why. But whispers claim Aurelia’s power could change everything. But Aurelia’s magic is not simply air. And when her heart shatters, so will the world.
