THE DOMINIONS
ASH & EMBERS
BOOK ONE OF THE DOMINIONS SERIES
Overview
Darkness is its own kingdom, born of Death and destruction. And Asha Raynor, like many living things, had learned long ago how to dwell without the Light.
Recently graduated from basic military training, Asha Raynor finds herself faced with the grueling challenge of becoming the first female Soturi-the highest ranking military unit in the Kingdom of Perseis. But before she can successfully complete her elite training academy, Asha must first survive a merciless selection process, a hellacious series of military benchmarks, and the looming eyes of a sinister Major. As training with her Division teammates renews her lost sense of family and gradually repairs the fragile cracks etched into her scarred soul, encounters with the alluring lieutenant of her regiment threaten to demolish the stone walls she has securely built around her cold heart. But Asha quickly learns that the lieutenant is not the man she believed him to be, and the twisted secrets surrounding the death of her brother are not as clear cut as she initially thought. And with endless information causing her to question where her loyalties lie, Asha soon realizes that those in Leadership, the same military officials she has followed her entire life, might have played a key role in the brutal slaughtering of those she loves most. As the looming Darkness enters her mind and threatens to swallow her whole, Asha is faced with a splitting decision: become Perseis's first female Soturi warrior, or embark upon a journey that could uncover the answers to every question she carries about the death of her family. But what if she can have them both? And what if the attainment of one, is the answer to the other? Asha thus begins an adventure she never wanted; an adventure that will release her Darkest memories, and unleash the locked power burning through her veins-a magic more dangerous than any hidden secret...

STARS & SHADOWS
BOOK TWO OF THE DOMINIONS SERIES
Overview
She warned them to never underestimate her ability to shatter souls. But fools never listen. And now, all they are left with is one simple question: What do you call a warrior whom even the gods fear?
Fresh off the heels of Soturi graduation, Asha Raynor finds herself at a fated crossroads. Bound by oath to serve the very leadership that stole everything from her, she must choose: obey the system that shaped her-or burn it to the ground.
Haunted by her brother's death and the secrets buried alongside him, Asha is determined to uncover the truth. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous her path becomes. Enemies close in.
Betrayals cut deep. And just as vengeance edges within reach, a single, shattering revelation changes everything--rewriting everything she once believed about the worlds, the kingdom, the Council, and most of all...herself. As war brews and the kingdom tightens its grip, Asha must decide what kind of warrior she wishes to become: one led by rage, or one willing to risk her heart in a world determined to break it.

BOOK ONE OF THE CHAINBOUND SERIES
Overview
The Accord does not grant freedom... It teaches its children how to earn their Chains.
seren
I have always known what I am: expendable. Two weeks stand between me and my eighteenth year—the moment when I, like every other child under the Accord, will be thrown into the trials of Ascension, a merciless proving ground where power is promised to the victors and erasure awaits the Fallen. We are told it is an honor. A chance to become something greater. But I know what the others do not. Ascension is not a reward—it is a system. One that breaks the weak, rewards the ruthless, and crowns only the ones willing to sacrifice their humanity for power. It is the noble lie they have fed us for generations. Because the Accord doesn’t demand victory. It demands transformation. And once it remakes you—there is no going back. If I Fall, there will be nothing left of me. And if I win... There will be nothing left at all.

I’ve spent my life becoming the thing the Accord fears most: a weapon with nothing left to lose. They call me a Carver—one of the Dominarch’s prized Swords. The empire’s loyal monster. The nightmare they unleash when kingdoms need to kneel, and histories need to burn. And for years, I played my part perfectly. But now the leash is tightening. The Accord has sent me after missing relics, but the deeper I dig, the more rot I uncover beneath the Ascendant Empire’s polished veneer. And I’m starting to realize that some secrets might be dangerous enough to start wars—but others are dangerous enough to end empires. And if they want to drag me back into the dark… They better remember who taught me how to survive there in the first place.
