The Moonlit Destiny

Shadow_Hokage12
Lucina is a girl born into shame—the illegitimate daughter of a prostitute, raised by a cruel Baroness who beats her daily and treats her as nothing more than a servant. Her only comfort is her silver hair and the mysterious healing power she discovers within herself. But when she heals a wounded dragon in the forest, her life changes forever. That dragon is Hakan, the powerful King of Tayar, who has been searching for the girl who saved his life ten years ago. He claims her as his bride and takes her to his kingdom, offering her a chance at a new life. But Lucina soon discovers that being a queen comes with impossible burdens—she must bear the child of a dragon, a feat that has killed countless women before her. As Lucina navigates the treacherous politics of the dragon kingdom, she faces the jealous ex-queen Garrett, uncovers dark magic being used against her, and discovers shocking truths about her own identity. Through trials of love, betrayal, war, and sacrifice, she must decide what she's willing to give up for the man she's come to love and the kingdom she's sworn to protect. A tale of redemption, forbidden love, and the power of healing—both of the body and the soul.

The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me *character portraits commissioned
