Unexpected journeys
Toria Connor, warrior-mage and professional mercenary, tripped over an artifact in the ruins of Nacostina. She found herself thrust a century in the past, before the city is destroyed during the Last War. Adrift in a time where she must hide everything important to her, from her mercenary career to her true magical ability. She survived with the help and friendship of the man who found her. Then, she discovered a way home.
Unknown futures
Liam once spent six months with a woman who challenged everything he thought he knew. But no matter how close they became, Toria could never remain by his side. Then, she vanished, leaving him with nothing but memories…and instructions for how to survive a war.
An unlikely reunion
On her return home to Limani, once more in the correct place and time, Toria is shocked to discover Liam waiting for her. The bond they forged has withstood the test of time, but whether three days or a century apart, neither of them are the same person they remember. And some things are too dangerous for the human brain, even if time no longer remains their greatest obstacle to building a life together.
Storm and Quill is a fade-to-black M/F paranormal romance about what happens after the big adventure, featuring age gaps, second chances, a magic-wielding aromantic mess who no longer understands how time works, and the pansexual elven scholar who took the long way around. It is set in the same world as the author’s Steel Bonds and Steel Empires series but can be read as a standalone novella with a happily ever after and no cliffhanger.
