When I was young, I loved more than anything the rare visits made to my grandmother's house. Visiting her was like living a children's fairytale come to life. Not only did we cross over a river, and pass through a wood, but she lived in a cottage surrounded by herbs and flowers, and I was often warned of dangerous creatures lurking beyond the gated gardens. When she died, her fairytale cottage in the woods, and everything there in, was left to me, her only granddaughter. Despite my parents urging me to think it over, I packed up the few things I owned and moved. Aside from the keys, the lawyer gave me a simple note written in gran's scrawling calligraphy. It read: "The ink of our souls binds us beyond the pages of time." As someone who had dedicated their studies to becoming a scribe in the towers, I assumed she was referring to the importance of accurate records for future historians..... Timeless records, right? No. Apparently she was quite literal, as I was informed by the soul of the warlock bound to the deed of gran’s house...

Iris is an orphan leading what she considers a normal life. As the oldest in Father John's care, she works hard to help bring in the money needed to feed and clothe the younger children, and she does it without complaint. Everybody in town knows and loves her. Someday, she'll get married and start her own family, but a war looming over her home makes someday a distant prospect. Then magic invades her simple life, and everything she knows is turned upside down. She's suddenly the center of a war between dragons and humans, and the only person she can turn to for help is a stranger who may or may not be the enemy. Char and his brother Rath are dragons and certified troublemakers. They're a favorite at parties, especially among girls, and a pain in their commanding officer's side. But Char's familiarity with humans earns him a scouting mission that brings with it more trouble than he could ever anticipate: a simple orphan girl. She's too innocent for the tangled web of magic tightening around her, and he's too impulsive to stay out of it, even if that means lying to his brother and risking his life to keep her out of the hands of a psychotic mage. Their adventure is about to begin. ***** Content/trigger warning: There is no explicit content, but themes and content are mature and include instances or mention of alcohol use, blood, child abandonment, death, depression, loss of a loved one, murder, off-screen rape, racism, sexual assault, torture, and violence. ***** Credits: Cover created by me using Canva.

Maybe finding a true mate isn’t always love at first sight. ***** An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can’t pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but maybe the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they’re not true mates. And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over. At least there’s a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he’d find, but he’s kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so even though this one isn’t his true mate, he decides to give him a chance. But maybe it doesn’t always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it – if you give it an opportunity to grow.
