Forsaken Ends is a standalone Merrow-centric novella exploring the dynamics of Fire and Water Elements. 

Fire burns. Water drowns. It's more than an elemental mismatch...

Kyliah and her fellow captive are held inside a cave while their rescuers rush to find them. As time trickles away, her Merrow instincts pull her survival instincts to the forefront.

The water can help her, but it will kill him. Saving her strength is the easy option, but can she live with the result? 

A Core Flame can’t survive near water and the cave is flooding. There’s no end in sight and working together might just be the very last thing they do.

Two Brothers. One Choice. Same Result...

I know what I saw. I can't believe everyone's been so blind about it this entire time. If I can just tell one person, then maybe, we can figure a way around this. 

It's too deep. It's too dark. I can't do this alone. 

And I don't want to die for it...

***

Juan's brother is missing, likely dead, and no one seems to remember him at all. Bedridden from his near-fatal injuries, he's in no condition to speak of the unspeakable things he's seen. Juan needs the kind of help that only a Jester can provide...

 

Jamie's ready for a new assignment and a new mentor, Galira, the Earth Jester. But working with Galira is vastly different from Ghasper and returning to the Pits brings up old memories and new problems. 

 

Can Jamie help Juan find the truth? Or is something far more sinister at play in the shadows of the Pits?

It was supposed to be a simple off-realm assignment, not whatever this was...

It’s supposed to be a relaxing change from the constant rotations in Nevarah. A disaster site is perfect for using my element and getting a chance to make some new friends, bleed off some excess magic and maybe clear my head a little bit. 

It’s really strange that no one seems to care about the lack of magical safety protocols. I don’t want to get in the way, but none of this is safe and I don’t see how it’s sustainable. No one wants to listen and I don’t know anyone here. Should I keep my mouth shut? Or should I say something? Because I don’t want to get kicked out of rotation. 

Especially not when they need my help. I just wish I wasn’t seeing things now…

Vacation in a gorgeous castle off-realm? Yes! Cute ghost hunter dragel Alpha? Absolutely! Actual ghosts lurking about the castle? This is NOT what I signed up for.

I seriously think I need a refund...
