|Book One of The Soul-Bound Chronicles| Classic J-RPG and anime elements collide with the Young Adult fiction writing style in this modern fantasy book following Josh Davidson, a teenage boy whose life flips upside down when he becomes soul-bound to a dragon ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ Magic, heroes, dragons. Josh Davidson has seen it all-in video games and movies, of course, because they would never be anything but fiction. Yet his dreams are slipping into reality, he is experiencing sudden energy surges, and a persistent voice is taking residency in his head. All of the insanity explodes when his bully goes on a murderous rampage, and the only one who can stop him is a beautiful girl wielding a bow and shooting magical ice arrows. The experience leads Josh to the truth: he's a Paladin, someone soul-bound to a dragon. Not only does he now have a dragon reaching into his thoughts, but the new status comes with magical powers meant to help him in his fight against the forces of darkness. Josh is more than eager to hone his new skills and help the Paladins in their fight, but the darkness they face is rising from its slumber, intent on destroying the Paladins and everything they stand for. Josh will have to learn fast, because the most important decisions are those he cannot escape. Decisions that risk not only the war which the Paladins fight, but the very people he holds dear. ➢ Word Count: 130,000 - 135,000 ➢ Amazing cover made by Dayisdemigod ➢ Featured in Fantasy account's Young Adult Fantasy Reading List ➢ Featured in YASciFantasy account's Quests & Queens - Fantasy Adventure Reading List ➢ The Fiction Awards 2019 Best Fantasy Winner ➢ Editor's Pick Featured January 2021

She went missing a year ago. Her friends, unable to find her. Now, she haunts their dreams, begging to be found. Welcome to Malachi Peak, where not everything is as it seems. - Buried in the cemeteries on the outskirts of Malachi Peak are more than the bodies of past residents. With them rest hundreds of years worth of secrets, pushed down so far that they haven't seen the light of day. The witches, those left after the Salem Witch Trials, went west, desperate to find a new home. Prevailing, they settled in what would eventually be Malachi Peak, Oregon and became the first pentacle to consecrate the land. On one fateful Halloween, today's Pentacle came together to complete their final bonding ceremony. As they were in the middle of it, darkness blanketed them. When they could finally see, one had just...disappeared. Fast-forward a year, things are starting to fall apart. Whispers among the factions say the witches are weak, that it's time for new leadership. The witch is still missing. The year anniversary has passed of her disappearance. Most presume she is dead and others refuse to believe she's gone. As powers escalate and the missing witch sends the Pentacle signs, the remaining members will have to unite to find her. A/N Strong language. Updates Sundays and whenever else I want :) Cover art done by the awesome @annie1loves1you

Time, though seemingly linear, is far from being so. Lilac Mellows thinks she knows all about the time she's spent alive. She knows most of it was spent as Trash Class, the lowest of the low. The only thing stopping her from falling to the depths of despair is her de-facto sister, Chickadee. Not wanting to burn in the flames of war, Lilac takes the opportunity to try and save her only family left. Through dodgy dealings, precarious agreements and mysterious help from a supposed long-lost friend, Lilac and Chickadee get increasingly entangled in something deeper. Only then does Lilac realise that things, even reality and time, are not so simple. Though all she wanted was to live with Chickadee, her murky, time warped past begins to rear its ugly head and forces beyond her comprehension are starting to move once again. Now Lilac has to find a way to keep her and Chickadee safe from various conspiracies spanning universes and millennia. *Cover is by me.* *This story is also on RoyalRoad.com*

Randall Cashe, a mechanical and electrical engineer, joins a team of scientists in a Mars-mission habitat hoping to rake in a massive payday. Their goal: to produce their own air, water, and food while testing the building with simulated disasters. When the outside world succumbs to a lethal airborne pandemic, the hermetically-sealed structure is suddenly the safest place on earth. As tensions among the group of scientists rise, Cashe has every intention to not only survive, but thrive. After all, why would he let a world-wide apocalypse and a few murders prevent him from making a profit? The parts I publish initially will be 90% where I want them to be. Feel free to criticize anything.

Determined to save the country he loves, he prepares to take the throne he fears. Upon returning home, though, the Ladies of the court connive to make him more puppet than prince.

Unsure who to trust, he swears to forge his path alone. But when a vengeful witch offers him a deal and the girl he cares for tangles herself into the danger, he'll be forced to befriend darknesses he'd rather run from than face.
