Logline: After discovering a prophecy about an ancient machine that can steal magic, a grief-haunted teenage Water Elementalist must learn to trust and unite with her fellow Elementalists to stop a dark Magician from destroying their world.
Blurb: Grief has frozen Celmira Khan’s heart ever since her best friend Monica died. Celmira’s ability to trust others is as elusive as the elemental water currents she controls. When she uncovers a long-buried prophecy at her school’s end-of-year banquet, her solitary plans are ruined as it calls for her to unite with Earth’s five other Elementalists. The prophecy warns these rare wielders of the world’s primal forces that the fate of magic is in their hands. In a world where magic is life itself, they must work together to find and destroy the pieces of an ancient machine that threatens to drain all magic. Driven more by self-preservation than prophecy, the Elementalists struggle to trust one another and work as a team while they decode the locations and battle magical creatures to secure the pieces.
They aren’t alone in searching for the machine. Syna Keng, a ruthless Magician hungry for power, attempts to retrieve the pieces to steal the world’s magic for herself. If the machine falls into her hands, the world’s magic will be in danger. As they race against Syna to recover the pieces, each of the Elementalists reminds Celmira of her lost friend--from the overbearing leader to the teammate who thinks the mission is doomed from the start. Celmira had no one in the world but Monica, and now even she is dead. So how can she start to trust the Elementalists now? If they all cannot learn to work through their issues to unite as a team, Syna will discover the machine before them, and the magical community will perish.

Blurb: Queen Zemara has spent her life hiding her winged-people from the human world. As the sole-ruler of the Avians, she has always relied on perfection and control to lead and keep her kingdom safe. But it just takes a short excursion for her to meet the human prince, Xander, and put the fate of her kingdom in the hands of a human she can’t control. Somehow, Xander is able to see through her, unraveling the perfect mask she has worked her entire life to build. Soon, Zemara realizes she can’t live without him and, risking the secrecy of her kingdom, she defies her long-held values to marry Xander.
When Xander’s ideals of unity with humans and Zemara’s reality of seclusion and safety clash, their trust fractures. Feeling threatened, Zemara pushes Xander out of leadership, forcing him to leave the kingdom for the protection of her people. In their moment of vulnerability, a rival Queen attacks with her army of blighted Avians that are able to overpower Zemara’s kingdom. Zemara must trust and reconcile with Xander, or else her clinging to control could mean the devastation of her kingdom.
Fairest Betrayal

Genre: New Adult Fantasy
Word Count: 66,000
Logline: In a kingdom where being a witch is a death sentence, when Princess Neve of the White Dynasty discovers she has magic, she must train with a witch coven in secret to harness her powers so she can defeat her stepmother, the queen, and take back her kingdom.
Blurb: Princess Neve doesn’t regret having her stepmother, the Queen, sew her lips shut. In fact, she is glad to be spared from court by having everyone believe she is unfit to rule. To Neve, the silencing has only cost her the chance to be loved. She doesn’t realize it has also left her under her stepmother’s control.
When rebels ambush the royal ball, Neve’s dormant magic awakens. She looks to the striking Cormac—her stepmother’s personal guard—for help. Against his orders, he introduces Neve to a secret witch coven that will train her before anyone learns she’s a witch. As Neve's bond with Cormac deepens, so does her desire to convince her stepmother to unsew her lips. Then perhaps Cormac will be able to love her.
When the coven reveals that her stepmother killed her father, Neve is fueled by the need to escape the Queen’s control. She aligns herself with the coven’s rebellion against her stepmother. Convincing her to unsew her lips is no longer enough. To truly be free, Neve needs to take back her kingdom.
Years of blind obedience to her stepmother have left Neve unprepared to lead the coven. She has never strategized a battle or inspired her allies, and she must find her voice before her stepmother’s soldiers scour the kingdom and find them. Neve needs to hone her magic and take charge of the coven. If she fails, her lips will remain stitched—keeping her from being able to love Cormac, and her kingdom will be lost to her stepmother’s clutches.
