Summary

On Dovarum, the Primes rule the Secondaries, even though the Secondaries have every reason to be in control.

Naurie, a Secondary, lives a peaceful, if regimented life, until a Prime-directed mass relocation separates her from her parents and fiancé. She’s left to care for her younger brother and sister as they journey to a new town weeks away. She meets Theo who, like herself, has Secondary marks on both his hands – an anomaly among her people. As a part of the underground rebellion, Theo knows what this means—Naurie has a power the Primes cannot suppress—but he refuses to tell her, even as her abilities start to manifest.

Join Naurie as she navigates the intrigue, hides her abilities, and fights to fulfill her dream of having her family together again.

Summary

Ellie Martin was living the life she always planned for herself. In 48 hours, everything she had ever taken for granted begins to unravel: her family, her health, her future. And it all started with a stubborn plant and a headache.

Strange things begin to happen to Ellie after she spots a pair of green eyes watching her at school. Two days of turmoil and confusion lead Ellie to her breaking point, until finally, she finds herself alone in the woods with an unnerving stranger before losing consciousness. She wakes up in a world she never even knew existed and learns that she’s the lost Summer Princess of Fae. Ellie struggles to cope with her new identity and powers, in addition to a debilitating illness that leaves her completely reliant on the strangers around her.

All she wants is to return to her normal life, yet Ellie is locked into a betrothal to a Winter Prince with sociopathic tendencies. She is torn between self-preservation and duty to her people, whom the Winter Queen has threatened to slaughter should she flee. Her fiance’s brother, Arlo, is tasked with helping ease Ellie into her new life, but instead, an alliance – and perhaps a friendship – forms. Hopefully he is as trustworthy as he is charming. Ellie tries everything she can to take control of her own life and destiny. But has she ever actually been in control, or has someone else been pulling the strings the whole time?

Key Features

  • A mix of our world and Fae
  • Main character out of her element
  • Love Triangle, Enemies to Lovers Romance
  • Familiar Fantasy tropes without feeling worn out
  • Relatable characters

The “Work in Progress”

This Untitled Series anticipates five books.

Status: Brainstorming, Worldbuilding, and First Draft(ing)

Genre: Adult Fantasy/Romantasy

Summary

This project is still in development. The world is loosly based on Hungarian culture, except of course, there will be magic.

The first book will be a dual perspective story that follows our two protagonists, Mira and Bence. Mira grew up in an orphanage in the capital city. Her story begins when she is assigned a job at the palace at eighteen. No one warned her that the orphanages stock the palace’s harems, and she is hand selected by the heir of the kingdom. However, when she discovers a new truth about herself, her cirumstances quickly change, and she’s thrown in with a small army of people like her going on a quest to find the Wind Witch.

Bence is the second son of the ruling emperor. His father and brother take very little responsibility for the kingdom, preferring to empty the treasury. Bence does what he can to help, but he’s more focused on his relationship. His brief meeting of Mira starts a spiral of information and truths he never knew. What he uncovers not only puts himself in danger, but will also force him to make a decision about how much he’s willing to intervene to save his Kingdom from destruction.

World Build Process

One way that I’ve been brainstorming ideas for the magic of this world is by watching “Hungarian Folk Tales” on Youtube. My favorites so far are “The Salt Princess” and “The Walnut”.

Key Features

  • Found Family
  • Slow Burn Romance
  • Low to Mid Fantasy World Build
  • Slowly Unraveled Mysteries
  • Characters with Space for Big Arcs
