Running from his dark legacy, the werewolf hunter River must align with his enemy to protect himself from a vengeful pack and his own family; a low fantasy enemies to lovers story. River is a werewolf hunter, born into the esteemed, silver-lined legacy of the Ferreus Clan. It's not a life he wants and not a life he chooses for himself, and on the eve of his twenty-fifth birthday - on the cusp of an initiation ritual that will seal him into the coffin of his family's legacy forever - he runs. River stumbles upon the quiet town of Crescent Valley, a largely mundane, quaint place of old bookstores and pleasant cafés and peaceful nature walks. He also, through no fault of his own, stumbles onto a gruesome murder scene. Body torn apart, blood still warm, an odd symbol carved into the man's bare, scratched chest. He recognises the signs. Crescent Valley has a wild dog problem. Thinking of his hard-won freedom and desperate for peace, River vows to himself- one last job. So he sets out on a mission to find the killer and put an end to them, if only so he can sleep without feeling the cool handle of a silver knife in his paranoid grip. River soon becomes entangled in a feud between rival werewolf packs clawing for territory, and the alpha of the Crescent Moon pack, Rowan, is getting a little too close for comfort. In Crescent Valley, where monsters roam the streets, it is kill or be killed. Quite literally. ───── • ⋆⋅➶⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Complete Story length: 95,000+ words Disclaimer: Some parts of this story are rated mature.

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

[NOW A PUBLISHED NOVEL!] The Moon is dead. The holy book She left behind is full of mysteries. The wolves in Her woods long for blood. Six years have passed since the beast was due to stir. Since then, Erin Teague's pack has labelled him a 'heretic.' He has kept his head down to survive, protected by his stepmother, Theresa. But no secret can stay buried forever. After a diplomatic mission goes wrong, Erin finds himself facing the ire of Valerie Lessard, the zealous Alpha of a neighbouring pack. Valerie is determined to have Erin sacrificed according to the words of the Unath Imom-the holy book of their kind-which weaves a narrative as disorienting as the forest itself. But Erin has a secret. Six years have passed since he woke up able to read its words, written in a language thought lost to time. Something is horribly wrong with its verses, and Erin is determined to translate it, no matter how many laws he must break. As the threat of Lessard Pack looms large, Erin flees with his work to the isolated Norwood Pack. There, he comes under the protection of Alpha Marius Gray: a rebellious leader willing to bend the words of the Unath Imom to serve his own purposes. The pair have a shared interest in the inconsistencies of the Unath Imom. However, sinister truths about the Moon Goddess lie not simply within Her recorded word but buried deep within the land itself. The forest thirsts for blood. And within the pines, something dead stirs.
