Stone Souls

ETCH is a New Adult Fantasy novel about elves with geological magic. Ilva and Vali are a female-female couple who struggle with personal trauma, disabilities, and uniquely unrefined biracial magic, in a world ransacked by segregation and war. There is audacious adventure, steamy sexual content, a lot of personal growth, and a world full of wonders. Their blood bonds pull them every direction in this story, showing just how dangerous fear and assumptions can be. In the crumbling continent, Zoriya, elves possess geological magic. Lords and Ladies rule the land, home to segregated classes of elves, and lust after power and control of all. Sylvite, Stolzite, Silver and Stone each hold dominion here. When elven relations begin mixing both blood and magic things get... Interesting. Ilva has always been more comfortable in her own company. She believes that no one understands her, nor does she belong anywhere. Finding truth in these feelings, she isolates her unmanifested self for decades, hiding a secret not even she knows she keeps. A secret that could change the world. Vali has been physically blinded by magic. She is a powerhouse of purpose, endeavouring quest after quest, seeking to discover the answers this world holds for her and break free of her limitations. However, freedom from anything seems more than challenging when you are bound by duty. When the two heroines of this story cross paths, they challenge each other on things they never before questioned. Together, they quest forth and fight many forms of injustice with committed and amiable attitudes. In a wide, undiscovered world, these heroines will fight dragons, sirens, tyrants, and more. Follow Ilva and Vali on their romance filled journey through the lush forests, underground villages, crumbling cities, and wraith controlled wastelands of this world. Will they rise against the unjust power struggles of this never ending war, or will greed and pride be their greatest downfall?

Zoriya will end. Malicious curses and tormented shadows are an ever-present threat as characters fight battles and beliefs, and as nations come together to aid their fellow elves. Adaptation becomes a means for survival. New allies and enemies arise. The Wraith Wan, new creatures, and shadows of spirits. Witches boasting magic of old, a Sapphire king who holds more than enough power to love a cursed soul, and an Ix queen who gives gifts to special souls. Naiade of the water, Meliae of the woods, and Oreade of the winds. One can never have too many friends when one's foes are formidable. Ilva and Vali search for what they truly long for-purpose and vision. They seek answers and chase promises, only to discover there are more questions and clauses. Life becomes ever more complicated in their spiralling story. Can they save the citizens of Zoriya, or will they make mistakes that cost them a price they did not intend to pay? Follow these characters in this ultimate conclusion, where magic evolves, and souls submit to their fates.
