Zoey’s last-ditch attempt to find reasons for living almost failed entirely. Her uncanny knack for noticing details and nihilistic attitude kept getting her in trouble, and treatment at the psychiatric facility was not helping her faith in humanity. Until she finds herself across from a mysterious stranger, whom others treat as dangerous, while his actions towards her are anything but.

Ronan surrendered his freedom to protect The Village of those like him. Cryptfolk: beings formed from a fusion of spirit and soul. For twenty years he hid what he is, enduring abuse and loneliness while his inner nature threatened to break him from the inside out. But when he collides with Zoey three times in three days, he believes her to be a gift from The Mother.

With newfound purpose and a promise made, Ronan sets out to get them out of the facility and convince Zoey not to take her own life. But that’s the easy part. Outside, unseen strings are pulled with the intent to use corruption and law to break them both. As the past catches up to Ronan, they are forced to fight in more ways than one.

Will their bond be enough to weather the storm, or will all they build be ruined by the treachery of those who cannot let the past go?

In 2035, justice has become a spectacle, and Rebecca is the newest player in Live, the world’s most infamous reality show.

The rules are simple: win over the audience with your social media posts or face deadly battles in the arena, broadcast live for the world to see.

Rebecca doesn’t know how to navigate this brutal mix of survival and performance. Then she meets Reese, a self-made pop icon whose charisma and cunning have made him a fan favorite.

At first, he offers her an alliance. But as the show pushes them to their limits, their bond shifts into dangerous territory, caught between attraction, strategy, and betrayal.

Now they face something neither expected: genuine, raw emotion, exposed before an audience hungry for degradation. In Live, where love is just another weapon, their connection might save them or break them beyond repair.

The grand tapestries of history often overlook the unsung heroes – the ordinary individuals whose unnoticed actions shape the fate of empires. This is one such tale, told through a shifting mosaic of perspectives that reveal a world unknowingly on the brink.

The isolated Glimmerstone Mountains become a killing ground when demonic forces obliterate a monastery, a tragedy and warning lost on the oblivious empires beyond. Against a coming darkness unrecognized by the world, an Unexpected Vanguard emerges: two driven survivors and a volatile mix of amateur spies, treasure-hunting thieves, and a ranger more wine merchant than mercenary.

Isolated and underpowered, when steel and sorcery quickly prove insufficient, their perilous quest to unravel the enigma escalates into a high-stakes grift to steal a mysterious prize from an unseen adversary. Can this unlikely crew rise to the challenge, and what consequences might result from breaking Teffel’s fourth rule of thievery – “Always know who you’re stealing from!”?

The song is changing. And Elowen Sylvenor might be the last one who can hear it.

She left the valley of Kaldora to chase music, freedom, and a life beyond unvoiced expectations. But when she receives a vision of her grandfather’s death, she travels home to Falcon’s Perch Inn.

Elowen discovers much has changed in her absence. Beyond the villagers’ cold reception and her own grief, the forest is dying, and the land is failing. The old protective magic begins to falter as ancient forces awaken beneath the frost.

Her parents and brothers died tragically when she was young, and now she struggles to find her place with her grandfather gone too. She finds a new family made up of her herbalist aunt, a giant white wolf, a golden falcon, and her grandfather’s Elven friend.

Bound by blood to a land she tried to escape, Elowen must decide what to do. Accept a guardian legacy she didn’t ask for, embracing a power she can no longer ignore, or flee back to her unhindered life as a bard.

In a world unraveling, can one reluctant young woman become what the land needs?

If you’re looking for soft worldbuilding, slow-burn fantasy, and magic humming under your feet, welcome to Songborne.
