Aerith always believed she was an ordinary mortal-clumsy, geeky, and completely out of place in the world. But on the eve of her 18th birthday, she discovers a shocking truth: she's no ordinary girl, but the long-lost daughter of the Fates, destined to rule the Underworld as Hades' queen.
Thrown into the realm of gods and monsters, Aerith must learn to navigate her new life among immortal beings, where loyalty and power shift like the winds. Tutored by gods, pursued by ancient rivalries, and bound to Hades-a brooding, powerful god who's been waiting for her for centuries-Aerith faces the daunting challenge of learning how to rule an entire realm while still figuring out how to be herself.
Can she rise to the challenge of ruling alongside the enigmatic Hades, or will the forces that oppose her destiny tear their fated union apart? With humor, heart, and a touch of magic, Aerith must learn the ropes of royalty and love in a world where even the gods themselves play by their own rules.
How to be a Queen is a fun and fresh take on Greek mythology, blending romance, adventure, and self-discovery into an unforgettable journey through the immortal world.

Shadows of the Soul
Book Description: In a realm where gods reign and mortals toil, Psyra, the radiant goddess of souls, walks a delicate path between the divine and the mortal. Born from light but weighed down by eternal loneliness, she is drawn into the intricate web of power, desire, and destiny that binds Olympus. As Psyra is courted by gods who seek her for their own ambitions-Zeus, consumed by obsession; Hades, a shadowed figure of mystery; and Apollo, a charming light that burns too bright-she must navigate a world of love, manipulation, and betrayal. While her bond to the mortal realm keeps her grounded, it is an invisible cord of fate pulling her toward both her destruction and salvation. But when Zeus devises a dangerous scheme to claim her, Psyra is forced to confront her deepest fears and the truth of her own strength. Caught between the storm of Zeus' desire and the quiet flame of Hades' affection, Psyra's journey will test her power, challenge her loyalty, and ultimately determine the fate of gods and mortals alike.
