On Lantern
Young Adult, Paranormal, Fantasy
Blaise has spent seven years trying not to die.
Born with a failing heart and parents determined to keep it beating, she's gotten used to watching life happen from the sidelines. But when one reckless drive puts her in the path of a van sinking into an icy river, Blaise doesn't think about what her heart can handle. She thinks about the people trapped inside.
Saving them nearly kills her.
It also gets the attention of the Soul Saver Society.
Hidden behind the ordinary world, Soul Savers are part of a secret system built around one impossible idea: sometimes, a person headed toward tragedy deserves another chance.
The chosen are given the opportunity to relive the days leading up to the moment that changes everything. One assignment. One chance to make different choices. One chance to alter a future that has already happened.
But second chances don't happen by accident.
Someone has to prepare the assignment. Someone has to make sure the right person receives it. Someone has to step into their life and convince them that the impossible is real.
That's where Blaise comes in.
For a girl who spent most of her life believing her broken heart made her useless, saving souls should finally give her the purpose she's been searching for.
There's just one problem.
Changing someone's future doesn't erase the future they left behind—and sometimes, a soul was headed toward tragedy for a reason.
Dark fantasy, urban fantasy, apocalypse
Humanity has already destroyed the Earth twice. Mother Earth won't give them a fourth chance.
The Earth is dying.
Again.
After centuries of pollution, destruction, and greed, humanity has finally pushed the planet beyond its breaking point. Their solution is simple: abandon Earth and find another world to call home.
Mother Earth has other plans.
Nikita knows exactly what comes next. Once human herself, she is now one of Mother Earth's Guardians—an immortal tasked with carrying out the Reaping. Billions will die. A chosen few known as Green Thumbs will survive. And when the last human has been sorted, Mother Earth will wipe away everything humanity created and give the planet a chance to heal.
Nikita has survived Reapings before. She knows the rules. She knows the cost.
But this time is different.
The Earth is taking longer to recover. Fewer humans are worth saving. And the time between humanity's mistakes is growing dangerously short.
This is their third strike.
There won't be a fourth.
Humanity doesn't need another world. It needs one last chance to save this one.
Young Adult, Paranormal Fantasy
Chaska has spent her entire life avoiding three things: responsibility, attention, and becoming anything like the royal family she was born into.
Unfortunately, destiny has other plans.
When the gates between the Realms prepare to open for the first time in generations, Atlantis must choose one of its royal children to serve as Ambassador of the Sea. Chaska expects the honor to go to one of her stronger, smarter, far more ambitious siblings.
Instead, the Elders choose her.
Suddenly, the princess who never believed she belonged is carrying the hopes of an entire Realm—and drawing the fury of a sister who has never forgiven Chaska for having anything she wants.
But just as Chaska begins to believe she might actually be worthy of the destiny chosen for her, a celebration turns to bloodshed.
A prince is dead.
An ancient alliance is shattered.
And one white-tipped arrow may be enough to send Atlantis to war.
