Rebellion in the Mist (Book One of a Romantasy Trilogy): PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE WHAT YOU TELL THEM To have her magic unlocked, Ness Riseworth exchanged ten years of her life in service to the Imperial Protectorate.
Her assignment for the last decade has been training new magic wielders. But when a woman with a striking resemblance to Ness dies on her way to a rebel gathering, the Protectorate doesn’t care that Ness has no experience with spying, only that she is their best hope to infiltrate this group plotting against the Empire.
When she struggles to maintain her cover as a rebel leader, her attractive commander reminds her that people will believe what she tells them. He may be off-limits, but he is becoming increasingly jealous of the smoldering moments Ness shares with a handsome rebel leader to gain information.
Time is running out for Ness to uncover all she needs to know to stop this rebellion before it becomes a war.

She is a lynx shifter whose soul refuses to be tamed, even after years of agony. Her voice is gone, stolen by the trauma of screaming until her vocal cords give out and silenced forever by the permanent needles of a collar embedded in her throat.

Can she escape her bad luck or will it catch up with her like it always does?

While she tries to find her feet, she meets a grumpy cat with a secret and reconnects with an old friend in the local antique store.

Years of horrible treatment might finally come to an end when she’s chosen to free her wolf but the relic needed for the ceremony is missing. Determined to prove her worth, she agrees to set out on a journey to retrieve the relic and change her destiny.

What else has the village been hiding from Akira?
This Delicate Flame: A Cozy Sapphic Romantasy (The Rendworld Trilogy Book 1): "The day the assassin came to Rylla's door, she sighed, rolled up her sleeves, and grabbed her healing kit." Rylla Stirkiv likes her life. She likes her little house on the outskirts of a quiet village. She likes the magical forest where any herb she could want grows, and where magic from the Rend splitting her planet in two turns the leaves rainbow colors. She does not like the hardened assassin that arrives bleeding on her doorstep. Tarinne is the antithesis of Rylla. She's brash, headstrong, and abrasive. Her skin is marked with more scars than Rylla has ever seen in her life. What's more, she kills people, while Rylla is sworn to do the opposite. But as she nurses Tarinne back to health, the two women discover they have more in common than they thought, and that maybe, just maybe, Tarinne likes the slower life that Rylla leads. It's too bad the king Tarinne is sworn to has other ideas...
The Last Griffin (A Lost Sovereigns Tale (LGBTQ+) with themes that deal with Love, Loyalty, and Betrayal): Only seven years prior, Særenfell Split from Glasterra.

Cuddled close, they listen to their nursemaid recall an origin tale of the goddess Skathi, and her mount, Iver, the last griffin. Skathi, goddess of the hunt and mountains, is fickle in love. She is loyal only to her people, and her heart belongs to her griffin, Iver. That is until a defiant sea nymph arrives on her doorstep. Banished from the sea god, the nymph wishes to serve Skathi in her realm. But Skathi’s suspicions spur her to challenge the sea nymph. If she passes the impossible test of cleaning her griffin’s talons, she will be allowed to stay. What Skathi does not realize is that her challenge sparks the beginnings of her own heartbreak.
