Valérie du Lis has never once considered love as a possibility. As a famous courtesan in Talin's royal court, trained by the legendary Hushed of the shattered High Kingdom, she is well aware that her fortunes are dependent upon giving up on such ridiculous ideas. The arrival of the passionate, poetic noble from one of Talin's Dark Blood families throws everything she has considered true of love into question. However, even as they find their paths, Fate has designs of its own, linked to Valérie's deepest secret: the winter curse laid upon her soul.

(Posting to Royal Road) Malle Hämarik is a vampire who understands the modern world well for an ancient creature. She's found her niche as a contract killer, but there are always those who would end her if they had the chance. Working together with a silver-tongued former street rat with his own bloody history and a gruff forger with a bad reputation, she's made a life for herself. Evading hunters and navigating the criminal underworld is a well-practiced dance for her, but her steps become far less certain when an old specter from her past returns and an ancient prophecy that she wants no part in rears its ugly head. Things fray further when her twisted heart gives itself away to a heartbroken jazz singer with nothing left to lose. Is the true death unavoidable? Can Fate itself be denied? Is love anything more than a siren's song? For Malle, there are no easy answers.

[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.

(Posting to Royal Road) Revenge is a dangerous foe. After the destruction of the town of Dalle by the forces of an evil general, the thorn knight responsible for the protection of the people butchered there has risen from the dead, transfigured not as a holy warrior, but an abomination: a revenant. Bound to life by the insatiable hunger for the destruction of Ghyslain "Shrike" Roche, she cannot die until her broken oath is atoned for by the shedding of his blood. Even her past is lost to her as she begins her quest, the only name she has for herself the one emotion she can no longer feel: Sorrow. The path to retribution, however, is fraught with peril and complications. Every step, darkness calls to darkness. When the price of eternal rest is evil of her own, what will she become?

One of the few students of Jedi tradition after the purging of the order by the Empire, Lorash Entaira has lived her life hiding in secret under the tutelage of Master Vori. With a visit to an old Jedi temple that ends in the awakening of an ancient Sith warrior, everything is thrown into conflict. The hunters of the Empire will never stop and it seems only the Dark Side can help. For Seia Zadar, sith scion imprisoned in secrecy on a long deserted world, Lorash is the breath of life itself. Stepping beyond her prison will mean testing all she has learned and taught over her life, but the Sith Code has never steered her wrong.

(Posting to RoyalRoad) Old sins, they say, cast long shadows. Born into a world of magic with not only none of her own, but with a power inside her that actively negates magic, Mara Spell-Breaker has learned to endure her place as a pariah and perpetual outsider among the people of the Red Mountains. At least, until a chance meeting in the woods promises a new world and hope of escape. The past is not only her prison, though, but the punishment of Heaven on all her kind. The hubris of Mara's people summons forth the end of their world at the hands of a power so great that it will not stop until only the ashes of a civilization remain.

***First Five Chapters Only, Whole is Published*** The laws of the legion are eternal, handed down by the gods of the Imperium themselves. Out of the ashes left by the great cataclysm that was the end of a world, the Princes of Iron arose and forged themselves a dominion ever expanding and engulfing the lands around theirs. Called demons by the other races, the Divine Princes rule with thaumaturgy at their beck and call, unfeeling and perfect. Within the legions, dark engines of destruction and conquest, glimmers of light sometimes appear. For Tita Nautia Helva and the soldiers of Fourth Legion, such a suggestion strikes just in time to shake their world down to its foundations. The question in the aftermath is simple: who will you become?

(Posting to RoyalRoad as well) After the destruction of her native city, Ilati must find a way forward to make a new life and avenge the fallen, shedding her old life as high priestess of the goddess of love like a snake leaves its skin. But with a sorcerer at her shoulder that she isn't certain she can trust, a charioteer with a dark curse, a nomadic warrior with a child who is not dead and not alive, and the Mother of Demons herself involved-can she survive? Can she hold onto the righteous path or will revenge drive her to seek another? Great Nysra, who claims her grandfather's title King of Kings, is not about to surrender his grip on the conquered lands. With skin that can turn even gods-blessed bronze and the power to conjure spellfire and lightning, is it possible to even topple his throne? Between his dark gods and his vast army, Ilati faces an impossible task. But woe to the men of Nadar, for they have let a lioness slip between their spears...

There is something wicked in the air. Legions move, demons plot, and the world shakes on its foundations. No living thing is safe as the flames that scorched the Wild Reach move ever closer and closer to the realms of men. The Princes of Iron seek one thing above all other things, an artifact without equal from a long forgotten age: the Desolate Throne. The only thing between them and the conquest they desire is a fragile alliance, a few staunch companions, and the Lady Penitent. One way or another, the world as it was known is ending. Sequel to The Lady Penitent.

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.
