An urban faerie tale with Southern charm
Emma is a faerie on the run from a bad human husband. All she wanted was to fall in love with the mortal man that she watched from a distance. How could she possibly know how bad that decision would turn out to be? At least there's one good thing that came from her decision...and there's no way she's going to let anything happen to change that.
She's tired, but fierce. One thing she's sure of, she's not about to let him get his hands on their daughter.
Passing as a human and hiding her abilities to keep from being discovered isn't easy. She's broke and exhausted but determined.
Emma soon finds herself in Salt Bend, Missouri. She gets a job as a waitress in a café. He's getting closer to finding her, but she may have more protection than she realizes.

"Upstairs!" I hear a yell and pounding footsteps. I crawl out of the window until I'm hanging from my hands. I take a breath. I let go. ~ Living in a small town with a single mother, Mia Glenn never expected anything special to come of her life. She never thought she would go on an adventure as harrowing as the stories she read. Until one day she narrowly avoids being kidnapped, discovering in the same day a whole new universe that she is supposedly a part of. As she navigates the elven world of Earthe with the help of a particularly attractive elf boy, she learns secrets about her identity and her father's, of whom she believed had ditched her and her mom at an early age. Soon Mia discovers that peace isn't as easy as it seems, and while Earthe may be beautiful, there are dark parts that are creeping back to the light. Even in a world of perfect beings such as elves, lies can be spun as precisely as an arrow can pierce a target, and evil can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Mia is used to reading about this kind of stuff, not living it. Safe to say she finds herself in one hell of an adventure. - - TW: if you need a tw for fighting, violence, weapons, blood, death, etc. I would read with caution (I don't get into any gory details, but there are scenes w/ this) I will put tw's for the more violent scenes.Complete

In the Moonlight
A girl in a white veil, the forest calls her to itself. She will be lost in it forever. A quiet voice, a whisper leads his bride far away. Somewhere there stands an old castle, a cursed prince dwells within its walls. When the full moon rises in the night sky, the monster awakens. The white veil of the bride turns crimson. A story as old as time. Nereyeny ran towards the forest as if her life was at stake. She hesitated for a moment before crossing the line of no return. She looked back at the place where she had grown up, lived, and was supposed to die and lie in the ground there forever. All her life layed there, everything except the one thing she longed for the most. Freedom. "Nereyeny!" They were already looking for her. She couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. She turned on her heel and stepped into the darkness. She knew that no one would dare to chase her there. Only a fool. People were afraid of the cursed forest. Eyes watching your every step. Whispers leading you into the void. Creatures from the depths of hell itself. They say dark forces dwell there, no one who goes in will ever come out. And Nereyeny was proof that it was all a lie, spending almost every day there, running under the treetops like a wild wolf. She didn't believe those tales. About the full moon. About the proud prince. About the curse. Until she too became one of those lost in its bowels. Trapped in the same trap as Prince Astreus, son of the Sun and the Moon. A proud prince, real, made of flesh and blood, who is not at all like she has heard of him. At least the fairy tales are wrong about one thing. And maybe they are wrong about everything. Secrets, pride, the whims of the gods, and maybe even fate itself. A burnt-out faith in breaking the curse. Nereyeny must now find a way out before the next full moon comes and the monster finds her.Complete
Made Sacred
Some say she was blessed. Others say she was cursed. Only the forest knows the truth. At the edge of an ancient wood, a man who aged too slowly fell in love with a woman who burned like sunlight. Their story wasn't loud. It lived in quiet rituals: tea brewed on rainy mornings, laughter in the garden, hands that stayed even when words couldn't. He never meant to cast a spell. Not truly. But one night, the world heard him anyway. Then, long after his final breath, she remained. Unchanged by time. Held in place by a love that outlived its ending. The forest remembered. The air hums with something unspoken. And the girl listening begins to wonder if the magic ever really ended at all. Made Sacred is a tender, haunting tale passed down from father to daughter. It's about love that echoes, grief that roots deep, and the spells we never mean to cast but carry with us all the same.
