The Silver Dragon:
In a climate-ravaged world, only the poles left habitable, civilization relies on valuable Dragon Stones to temper the heat and cold of Eversun and Evernight. The imperial North hoards what resources it can, conquering lesser nations to keep its people in comfort. Meanwhile, Issla, a conquered satellite nation, scrimps by with the meager faith that their dragon ancestors may yet return to spare them. Marrow Kingsdotter is done waiting. If the Dragons will not come, she must take it upon herself to save the Isslan people. 
​
Promised in marriage to a Northern Prince, Marrow adopts a fashionable, flighty persona in the Northern court while donning the mantle of the Silver Dragon in secret. As the Dragon, she steals Stones for her people and humiliates Northern leadership at every turn. The only problem? Her fiancé, Azuron Aureliaz, has sworn to put an end to the Dragon.  As their wedding approaches, Marrow must navigate her growing feelings for Azuron while fighting for the welfare of her people. 

THE SILVER DRAGON is a 125,000 word adult fantasy novel, the first in a planned duology. Envisioned as a genderbent Scarlet Pimpernel (with magic!), the novel leans into Orczy’s swashbuckling adventure and angsty romance. Marrow and Azuron share echoes of Percy, Marguerite, and Chauvelin between them—at all times lovers, heroes, and villains in their own right.

The Magus Apprentice:
​When Wren runs from home, she switches her skirts for a doublet and breeches and swears never to look back. That is, until the magus, Calder Cross, catches her bathing in a church fountain. 

Cross invites her to join the twenty other girls who work for him—in a world of humoral magic, their menstrual cycles are valuable for spellwork. Wren accepts his offer and soon learns she has a gift for magic herself. But magi are traditionally men. To learn magic from Cross, she must maintain the facade of her male persona in the public sphere. In the midst of this, Wren forms fierce friendships with the women around her, reunites with her staunchly religious brother, and draws dangerously close to her magus teacher. When the city erupts with religious and political tensions, Wren must fight to protect her secrets and the people she loves. 

THE MAGUS APPRENTICE is a 92,000 word adult fantasy novel with young adult crossover appeal. With a setting and magic system inspired by Elizabethan London, the novel will appeal to readers of other gritty, historically inspired works like V.E. Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magic and Emily A. Duncan’s Wicked Saints

The Faerie Queene:
Hazel has heard whispers of faeries in Blackwell Forest, rumors of both miracles and mischief. When her family moves to Blackwell, she seeks out a miracle—healing for her dying sister, Netta. 

Hazel walks the strange forest, a place of beauty and magic, but also of shifting paths and deceptions. There, she meets Leland Hughes, a terse, distant man, whose past is tied with the faeries. When the Faerie Queene steals Netta on the summer solstice, Hazel and Leland set out to rescue her. Together with their guide, an exiled faerie princess, they must face the dangers of Faerieland—necromancers, dragons, and illusionists who mold minds and topple thrones. In the midst of this, Hazel grapples with Netta’s fading health, wondering how she will live a life without her sister in it. 

The Faerie Queene, a Young Adult Fantasy Novel of 60,000 words, combines lyrical storytelling with elements of the epic classic by Edmund Spenser. The novel re-envisions Spenser’s great work and updates it for modern audiences, swapping Redcrosse Knight for a young woman equally intrigued and terrified by the world she’s thrust into.
