Warryn Brex is a mystery, even to himself at times. He must face the fact that he is hated by Elves, and loved by Goblins but is a stranger to everyone else. His magic comes from within, from personal knowledge and not learning at any guild or from a master wizard. In a society where "sorcerers" are almost unheard of, Warryn has learned to hide his identity from everyone, including himself (he can barely even remember his real name). He has also learned to hide his innate abilities from those who he thinks may wish to cause him harm. The journal of a man on the run from his life. The life of an adventurer with hidden powers is never easy. This is the abridged version of this story. A full version is currently being edited and is more than double the word count.

The world has changed. Humans now know that supernatural creatures exist, and honestly it went better than anyone could have hoped. Until things that haven't walked the earth in centuries started waking up. Delany just wants to carve out a little life for herself under the radar. She works her jobs, she collects her pay, and she goes home. Everything seems to be going according to plan until something evil passes through a portal from Faerie to Earth. Maverick follows the creature through, tasked with hunting it down and returning it to the bonds it escaped in Faerie. No one knows Delany's heritage, but when Maverick crosses paths with her in his pursuit of the loosed evil he has some good guesses. Now she has a choice to make, she can let the evil kill Maverick and have one less worry, but with that she risks it destroying Earth in the process. Or she can help him return the creature to Faerie and find a way to keep the frustratingly persuasive Male at arms length. Delany knows what will happen if Maverick learns the truth, but something about him makes her want to risk it.

Jordan Haverford is stuck between hunting demons, committing crime, and trying not to die from either. All he wants is to go home, but his chances look bleaker than ever. ***** Balancing his education in magic and demon-hunting with an apprenticeship to the assassin Arlen Blackheart is hard enough. Keeping his sister safe and avoiding assassination by Arlen's fanatic ex-student at the same time is pushing Jordan to breaking point. As he is drawn deeper into the life of an Unspoken and the knife-edge politics of the assassins' guild, shedding his old self - and his aspirations of escape - might be the only way to stay sane. Darker things are stirring at Nictaven's borders - the Whispering Wall is showing signs of strain, and sickness haunts the outer settlements, creeping closer to Shadow's Reach with each passing day. Within the city, the dead grow restless. Wonderful cover by Acacia Heather - Caysaaaa on Wattpad!
