The supernatural doesn't always take the form of an overpowered hero, an alien race threatening mankind, or a world inhabited by nymphomaniac mermaids. In the world of Nick Flieger, disillusioned 17 year old in search of a higher purpose, it takes the form of the Milites, a secret organization that performs good deeds for mankind. When a mysterious red-haired girl arrives at Nick's bathroom door with the opportunity to join the Milites and abandon humanity's social structure, what can he do but accept her offer? In the days that follow, however, he learns that having superpowers doesn't transform him into a superhero - instead of giving him a purpose, they lay him bare to the structure of society more than ever before, leaving Nick to find who he truly wants to be. Before he can even do this, Nick is pulled into a conflict that involves the mysterious head of the Milites and the structure of the organization itself, showing him that even in a supernatural world, good and evil are never clearly separated. Deceitful Wings is a humorous, soul-searching, supernatural mystery with only a smidgen of parody. Just like grandma used to make.

[Reviving and continuing soon... on Royal Road!] Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. At the ripe old age of twelve, Ty's life is falling apart. Going to a new school is made even more difficult when his grandfather dies of unknown causes. Without him around, Ty feels the pull between standing by his grandfather's belief of holding onto the kid inside and pressure from his father to "man up" and leave it all behind. All of his troubles finally reach a head when, on the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Genno, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. The list of trials range from a girly-girl version of his best friend (who wants to do nothing but kiss), an army of plush creatures (that are far more deadly than they sound), and a nightmare version of his town where propaganda and a puppet master have reduced the population to mindless slaves. But the worst part is the master behind it all, a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again.

Along the border of the Realm of Man, one tiny tilt in the Balance will shake the very foundations of The Nine Realms... Calais Erbryn (or Callie, as she prefers to be called) knows who and what she is. She has been groomed for her role all her life. Her family, and the families that make up the town of Nerem, are not your average townsfolk. Each of them comes from a long line of people born with a natural talent for harnessing the forces of the natural world around them...Adepts who can wield tangible magic. But don't call them witches... Her parents, along with 11 other Adepts, sit as The Circle, the governing (guiding, rather) body that serves as counselor, mediator, judge, and jury. But their world is not a completely safe one, and each Adept in line to take a seat vacated by an Elder Adept is assigned to a protector on their 18th birthday. This protector is known as the Guardian. Their sole duty is to follow one order, regardless of what they must do in order to carry out that one order: Ensure the continuation of the life of the Adept they are Assigned to regardless of the cost. The Shifters in the neighboring town are growing restless, and the residents of Nerem are rocked by the arrival of several Alder Faefolk...ancient beings who are presented as descendants of the long-departed Fae, but whom are rumored to be the Fae themselves. The Faefolk are Equalizers of the Balance, but when they discover a tilt beyond the scope of their skills, they flee to Nerem to seek Sanctuary amongst the Adepts. Even worse, Callie's 18th birthday is tonight.
