[AMBY'S 2024 FANTASY NOVEL FAVORITE]
The Elves lost Their Magic.
The Princess is a Dragon.
The Halfling is a Shifter.
And Witches Rule the Realm...
Liss has spent her life trapped in Cradelow Valley, dreading a bleak future of rigid structure and forced Engagements. The Darkbane elves lost their magic-and possibly their minds-long ago. In the time Before. But Liss still believes in magic and the outside world. So when the Council announces a dangerous decree at her Sixteenth ceremony, she curses clocks and determines to find a way out. A way to freedom and, hopefully, more...
If her best friend doesn't try to stop her.
Goddess, why is Dev always so careful? It's exhausting.
If only there were someone out there she could trust...
Meanwhile, beyond the confines of the valley, Zan the changeling is a decade into scheming ways to rescue his half-sister from the witches who kidnapped her and stole her magic-powerful, crystal-based magic of the Yansu dragon-elves.
Ayer was the Yansu crown princess, which makes Zan...
It doesn't matter. There are rumors of curses breaking and Darkbane elves returning to reclaim their realm. If that's true, then his moment might finally have arrived.
Just imagine, the Darkbane elves and dragons united against the witches...
The fallout would be epic.
A twisty, ambitious Upper YA Dark Epic Fantasy that will keep you guessing and professing your 'Team' well before the grand finale!

The Blade and The Bird
She'd spent many years playing in this forest as a child. While Selene had enjoyed her novels in the warmth of the house, a blanket wrapped around her narrow shoulders, Sidra always came home covered in mud and scrapes from hours out in the wilderness. She'd take an axe out into the forest and pretend to fight off monsters, the terrifying Mystics that her grandmother had told her stories about. She'd pretend to fight Lycans, knocking out their massive teeth one by one. She'd stand atop rocks and throw her axe at the trees, pretending they were wood nymphs come to steal her away. She'd always return home and tell Selene about the monsters she'd fought that day, spinning together a story of courage and bravery for her little sister. She felt that pain in her heart again as she thought of those times. Through the years, she'd stop going into the woods to play, and she'd instead find stories for Selene. Books of all sizes and shapes, no matter the content, because it made her feel close to her sister just as she had before her parents died. She thought of her family now, how she was all alone. Her parents had been gone for years, her grandmother, and now even Selene was missing somewhere. She needed to find her sister, she couldn't lose the last bit of her family. **Complete

The Witch of Ashes
8 years ago, vengeful magicfolk, tired of the discrimination and culling of their kind, rose up against the plainfolk kingdom in the north after a devastating curse swept through the kingdom. Now, a young witch with a past to hide, tries to live a peaceful life in solitude, but yearns to attend the new mage academy.
