A young adult fantasy with action, adventure, romance, castle intrigue. A high fantasy twist on the Cinderella fairy tale.

The Violet Fox

Rise. That's what my heart tells me. But to fight our many enemies And finally unite my people, I must destroy what I've become. Kiera Driscoll and her allies return from their perilous journey to find their home in ruins. The East has retreated. For now. But they're up to something in the mountains, and their brief occupation has left the West with no food, weakened defenses, and an angry populace crying out for a leader. Keegan Tramore is the rightful ruler of all of Marlenia, but his memory is not what it was, and thus it falls to Kiera to carry the broken realm on her shoulders. There is only way to restore Keegan to his former self: the Midnight Tablet, a primal artefact and the legendary origin of all magic. It promises secrets and knowledge to its possessor, as long as they're willing to pay the price. Magic has corrupted everyone Kiera has ever trusted, and now that same magic she has sworn to destroy has awoken within her. As Kiera spirals into darkness, she must decide, once and for all, what-and whom-she will sacrifice to rid her people of the tyranny of magic.

The Midnight Tablet

Burn hot and cold. Read minds. Disappear at will. Dream your own death. Welcome to Sparkstone University, where some students are more gifted than others. When Ingrid learns she's been accepted at the hyper-secretive Sparkstone University, she is sceptical. It's an honour to attend, apparently, and yet barely anyone has ever heard of the place. And everyone seems a little too happy that she's there: especially when she meets Sunni and her group of friends. They seem to already know Ingrid. As if she was expected. Expected to save Earth from an imminent alien invasion. Like she has superpowers or something. As if magic and mutations exist. As if aliens are really planning to attack. That just sounds ridiculous. There's no such thing. ...right? Wrong.

Stars in Her Eyes

There are two kinds of people in Marlenia: those who are loyal to the Frostfire family, and those who pretend their world has not been turned upside down. Everyone believes Kiera Driscoll is dead. Only her friends know the Violet Fox is alive, because they're in hiding with her deep in Feenagh Forest. Prince Keegan Tramore, who married Kiera in secret, faces a far worse fate. Cursed to slumber eternally, Keegan has been captured by the powerful Frostfire family. The curse is spreading, only affecting those born on the surface. Worse, the Frostfires pin the blame on the Freetors and persecute them relentlessly-a nightmare for Kiera, who wants all Marlenians to live in harmony. Difficult, now that the Frostfires and their Northern allies-including Kiera's bitter enemy, Lady Dominique Castillo-have usurped Keegan's rightful throne. There is one hope: the Emerald Cloth, an artefact with legendary healing properties. Although Kiera swore she'd never seek another artefact again, she will do anything to protect her people. The Frostfires seek the cure as well-and they'll go to great lengths to prevent it from falling into Kiera's hands. Whatever the cost, Kiera must free Keegan and her people from the magic-induced slumber before the kingdoms succumb to the curse of the Silver Spear.
