**This is a REWRITE of The Gemcutter's Daughter, structured very differently and may deviate in plot** Every dwarven city has its Spark, one that grants life to the great artifices carved into living rock and cruel steel by the god Tek himself. A machine set in motion when the turning of the world began again, Dhuldarim has survived millennia without faltering. Until now. The Spark, it seems, is going out. Divine help is impossible: the great god Tek is silent, slumbering where none can reach. The ingenuity of dwarves is their only hope of salvation. To return the Spark, a great power is needed-power that can only be found in the Deep. To trespass so into the depths of the earth is suicide even for a dwarf, but the Heartforge has spoken: Tali Khondurahl must go, and go alone. There are things that live in the Deep, they say, that dream of the red flower wielded by the dwarves. They dream...and they hate. Aided on her journey by a golem of stone, a siren freed from eternal imprisonment in the Deep, a human mage far from home, a strange deep-dweller, and a scion of her people's most ancient foe, Tali must face an evil so powerful it has survived the millenium since the Revealing without interruption, lording over a dominion of misery and subjugation. For Lekt, one of the Forsaken who dwell deep beneath the Lands of Tek, hatred and pain are the natural laws of life. But when an opportunity to choose arrives in the form of Tali Khondurahl, he finds there are parts to life beyond the might of claws and the crushing cold darkness that has always been his home. His quest for freedom can only be stopped by his death, and he has no intention of dying. But to address ancient sins, to save two worlds, to vanquish the darkness, there may yet be Hell to pay.

[Posting to RoyalRoad] Working night shift as a nurse isn't exactly the eternity Eisheth was dreaming of, but even demons have to make do. Stationed at St. Nick's Hospital in Purgatory, she trades one thankless position for another that might just be more than what she can handle: the psych ward. With hospital politics, budget cuts, chronic short-staffing, and the eternal war for the souls of humankind on her plate, Eisheth has her work cut out for her. All she says she really wants is a margarita and a million dollars, but mortals are tricky things and their stories might matter to her more than she realizes.

Don't even think about coming here unless you've read book one. Book one is called Obsidian Awakening, posted on my profile. Rated mature for everything imaginable (and unimaginable) one would call mature.

Some things are deadly when broken... Sold for the price of a pig, trained into the most expensive male escort in the peninsula, Hasheem, the Silver Sparrow of Azalea, finds himself running from his hard-earned life of privilege when a woman decides to die in his room. Forced to escape through hostile territories belonging to desert warriors, Hasheem runs into Djari, the immovable daughter of a tribal chieftain who offers him protection in exchange for an oath of lifetime servitude. Prophesied by her oracle brother as the one born to end the centuries-long war between her people and an empire, Djari's precarious destiny plunges them both into the blood sport of power, politics, and warfare that exacts heartbreaking sacrifices in exchange for peace.

Finn and the Halflings (A working title)

Old World New World

[THIS STORY IS FREE WITH EXCLUSIVE BONUS CONTENT] A fake relationship, a diabolical plan and a threat to the human race. The only thing that ties them together is an eighteen year old girl's choice, that could change the course of everything. *** Every year five hundred children are abducted from planet Earth and taken to Pluto to serve as slaves to aliens who are far superior to the human species. When a slave turns eighteen they are allowed to choose their fate for the rest of their lives. They are only given three choices; remain a slave, become a fighter or serve as a Plutonian's lover. For the past eleven years, Aria has spent every second waiting for an opportunity to escape and when she's offered a dangerous but rewarding arrangement by a prominent Plutonian, she is quick to agree. But when the lines between love and hatred blur, will Aria ever be able to escape or will her risky circumstances kill her first?

Isidra yearns to become one of the Andarae, a global peacekeeping force of mortals and dragons. Syl has a grudge against the Andarae because they betrayed her family. When the Sanctuary of the Andarae is attacked, a magical accident binds Isidra to Syl. Irreversibly connected by blood and soul, they're forced to team up as a dragon-rider pair and train together. That would be bad enough, since they can't stand each other...then bloodless corpses start turning up, and it becomes clear that someone's hellbent on destroying the Andarae from within. With the future of both their races at stake, Isidra and Syl must put aside their differences to solve the string of violent crimes. But that puts a target on their backs, which means the next bloodless corpses might be them. They'll have to stay one step ahead on this magical murder mystery... Because if they can't learn to work together, they'll die together.

Aleyr Frostborn has survived a hundred prophecies of her defeat, breaking each one by slaying the champions of light sent to kill her. Amongst the forces of good, her very name is a curse, and with good reason. Beyond her own evil, it is said that so long as she lives, the reign of the Godslayer himself will last: the lich king who the terrified masses call the King in Black. While the kingdoms and empires that surround the blighted lands of the undead lands struggle to survive and beat back the tide of evil, the machinations of the Eternal Kingdom's dark court barely contain bitter struggles for power between the forces that have made it what it is. With one foretold hero brutally snuffed out, another will inevitably arise. For Aleyr, the cycle only further embitters her towards the gods of good and all those who serve them. But the truth is that her downfall might be something much closer to home than their prophecies, those last dregs of mortality beating inside her own chest. With a thoughtless intersection between cruelty and mercy, she begins a chain of events threatening to tear the Eternal Kingdom and her own loyalties into shreds. After all, many things can be broken, not just prophecies. (Posting to RoyalRoad under K.
