The Cursebreaker series
In a world where animals can talk and curses are real, a cursebreaker and her companion cat search for a cure to a girl's madness to prevent a necromancer's vengeance from destroying their world. Uniting with the animal world as well as those they once thought enemy, Olga and Raisa fight the Dead across the kingdom they may never call home again.

The Universal Mirror
On the island of Cercia, the gods are dead, killed by their followers and replaced with the study of magic. Magicians are forbidden to leave their homeland. Laws bind these men that prevent them from casting spells on the living—whether to harm or to heal.
Quentin, a young nobleman, challenges these laws out of love for his wife. His best friend, Asahel, defies authority at his side, unaware that the search for this lost magic will bring them both to the edge of reason, threatening their very souls. The Universal Mirror shows how far two men are willing to go for the sake of knowledge and what they will destroy to obtain it.
