Manuscripts (In Progress)
The Wings of Tormorant (revising)
As the bastard daughter of a war hero, Riadra Tevro is the only member of her family excluded from the Ordained, the divinely-favored nobility that rules the mountainous kingdom of Tormorant. When mysterious and sinister forces tear apart her family and drive her from her home, she joins an ignoble but promising thieving crew to survive.
Years later, she is recruited to steal a priceless artifact from one of Tormorant’s most powerful Ordained: her half-brother, Zalthizar, whom she hasn’t seen since the day she fled the city all those years ago. Assuming a new identity, she enlists in the Zephyr Knights as a Wing, Tormorant’s elite order of soldiers that ride the giant birds of prey native to their land. Her ascension within the Wings is tumultuous due to her iconoclastic nature, and she’s torn between her loyalties to her crew and her need to unravel the mystery surrounding her family’s disgrace to vindicate their honor and name.

TBD - Lovecraftian Fantasy (initial draft)
The city of Bleakhallow is the last bastion against the desolate bloodwastes, the origin of the violent phantasms that threaten to overwhelm the last vestiges of civilization. Bleakhallow has survived through the strength of the Darkwatch, whose Sentinels roam the lands surrounding the city, ridding them of evil. Varcissa and Vincent Wolfe, recently orphaned twins, are admitted to Darkrise Academy to learn the knowledge and skills necessary to become Sentinels themselves. But Darkrise Castle has many secrets: about the phantasms, the Sentinels, the city, and even about the truth behind their twisted family history.
