Pip is the happiest boy in the kingdom of Lindensea, until he loses everything and becomes the saddest boy in the world. Falling in love with a dishevelled young nobleman who is leaving the kingdom seems like a piece of foolishness that will only break his heart. It took hard work and determination for Pip to survive. It will take time, luck, and a sprinkle of magic for a chance at true happiness. But are the stars on his side, or working against him? The question remains: 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘙𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯? 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘙𝘶𝘦?

A simple mission to find a reclusive goddess could be the answer to all her problems, there's just one problem. Old grudges have a habit of coming back to bite you. Orion is lost. Raised by two bickering aunts he's never had much time to figure out what he wants. Without much of a purpose he spends his time trying to live up to expectations, then one mistake catapults him into the center of an ancient dispute.

A race of human beings with horrific ancestry, an Empire's conquest of a faraway island, a man's search for divinity. Here lies Gehenna, here lie the damned. ***This novel contains mentions of violence, murder, rape & suicide -- Reader Discretion Advised*** Author's Note: Growing up with shows like Supernatural and Black Butler, reading novels like Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth, and most importantly reading the Bible the full way through, I've gotten extremely fascinated by the esoteric aspects of Christian mythology and Biblical lore. This story is inspired heavily by such Christian motifs and symbolism, specifically the Nephilim and the Book of Enoch. The setting of the story, rather than being the modern world, is instead the Age of Discovery. The reason being that, this era - the early 16th century, was a tumultous period when Christianity was spread via the early colonial Empires, and much of it involved horrific tales of the Inquisition and subjugation of conquered peoples. What better a place, then, for a novel inspired by Christian mythology than such a period? ----------------------------------------------------------- Highest Tag Rankings: 1st in #thought-provoking --- November 22nd, 2022 2nd in #cosmichorror --- September 30th, 2022 3rd in #lovecraftian --- September 8th, 2022 3rd in #biblical --- January 19th, 2023

How long is a lifetime? For Luc, it stretches far beyond human reckoning. As punishment for a crime that shook the foundations of the world he once belonged to, he is now condemned to walk the earth among mortals. Luc has carved out a vast empire for himself through both respectable ventures and shadowed dealings, but none of it brings him peace. One rain-slicked evening, from the balcony outside his favored courtesan's room at the infamous Bessie's brothel, Luc watches a line of enslaved girls being dragged in. Among them, a girl with hair like the sunset and fire in her eyes is struck for resisting. Something ancient stirs within him. On a not-so-uncharacteristic impulse, Luc decides to buy her. ... Aida, stolen from a faraway land, is young, bruised, and burning with defiance. Her presence was never meant to matter, but soon she becomes more than a passing distraction and inconvenience to Luc. She cracks something long buried in his soul: a memory of grace, a glimpse of light, a pull toward something he thought lost forever. Forced to share a living arrangement neither of them truly understands, their constant clashes breed awkwardness, tension, unexpected moments of humor, and something more. Can two broken souls, worlds apart, save each other from the darkness they were never meant to endure alone? *This story is original fiction with Luc as the main character, set in an alternative Victorian era. It is intended to be the prequel/spin-off to 'Until The End Of Time', where Luc played a major part toward the end. Slavery is depicted.

Once a powerful and celebrated witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death, she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all-of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again-and if so, what price must she pay? The Exile is the first book in a slow-burn tragic romantic fantasy series. It is a quiet story about two people who were never meant to meet, finding each other in the unlikeliest of places. Warning: The world of The Stormcrow Cycle is dark and rather grim; most civilizations practice slavery and all its abuses. Please mind the "Mature Content" tag. I do not include individual trigger warnings, but you can expect everything typical of a Greco-Roman-inspired society going forward. Book I is a quiet romance with a HFN. Book II ventures into more traditional fantasy territory. Please note this series is a tragedy, not an industry romantasy or romance. Book I is currently being edited for Kindle release. The series is on hiatus, but not dead! Please note that the series will not update on Wattpad once out of hiatus! Please follow me on Royal Road or Scribble Hub for story updates!
