The Veil is breaking. The stars remember. Before gods could bleed and time learned to count, the stars reigned absolute. They sang. They watched. They judged. Aurelith, goddess of Mercy, shattered celestial law by loving the mortal world too fiercely. For that transgression, she fell struck down by the hand that once adored her most. Centuries have passed. Her name lingers only as myth. Now the girl who carries her final ember is waking. Maria quiet village healer, orphan without roots discovers she is vessel to an ancient, forbidden divinity. The kingdom trembles. Sleeping gods stir. And Vaelith, the blue-flame god who both destroyed and worshipped Aurelith, returns from exile, determined to reclaim what eternity tore away. Yet Maria is not alone. At her side stands Kai, a mortal snared in prophecy and the fractured shade of Kaelen, a warrior forged from starlight and ash. Around them gather grieving queens, betrayed princesses, power-hungry nobles, storm-witches, blind seers, and rebels who wield forgotten names like blades. Beneath them all, the Nameless One, unmade yet unyielding, claws upward from the dark. This is no longer one girl's story. It is a war for memory itself old gods against new heirs, collapsing heavens against rising empires, a tapestry of souls who have not yet realized they are threads of the same cloth. When the stars fall, who will catch the fire? When the Astral Veil tears wide, who will remember who they truly were? This is the story of gods and girls, of fire and fragments, of names lost and names reborn. This is Aurelith rising.

Jade didn't come to OxRiver to fall in love-she came to disappear. Betrayed. Broken. Done. After a past she barely survived, Jade wants nothing but quiet: a new town, a steady job, and walls high enough to keep the world out. But Monique crashes into her life like a storm-sharp-tongued, wild-hearted, and everything Jade's been running from. Their chemistry is undeniable. Their connection? Dangerous. Because Monique isn't just a student-she's a spark that could burn it all down. As buried secrets claw their way back and the line between past and present begins to blur, Jade must face the one question she's spent her whole life avoiding: Can you ever truly start over... if your heart never stops looking back?

{Book 1} One must fall to rise again. And so a shooting star fell down from the heavens, descending to earth after being wished upon. Oh angel who flew high up above, how far to have fallen from grace. Could it be that his damnation becomes salvation? Life may be wickedly cruel, but it sure as hell is dangerously beautiful. - Mia B. Geminius, cover made by me. This marks the very beginning of my Descendance series [I apologize if you clicked on this and end up being disappointed. Thank you for your precious time ཐ Please pardon a few typos. Most of the views are from me coming back to edit/reread so if I keep editing, the pictures I've added might get deleted. Hope that isn't too bothersome.] "Thou mayest choose for thyself, for it is given unto thee" (Moses 3:17) Orion was a perfect star, once rising and shining up in the sky. He was a celestial being, an angel residing in Heaven, who was sent by God to Earth as a divine helper to help humankind. Orion was an archangel, a warrior who fights against evil such as the wickedness and snares of the Devil. He had fallen in battle. To his horror and surprise, it was by the very same humans that he was sent to help and protect. How could such a wicked thing have happened? It was so unexpectedly cruel. Humans chose to be evil. They were not tempted or possessed. It's in humanity's nature to choose whether they want to be good or evil. God gave us free will and choice. It is what makes us humane. As Orion fought to his very last breath and gave up his life to save these humans, they took his wings... *✿❀*❀✿* Falling For You A boy corrupt by darkness He despised everything and everyone around him. A girl who was too good for this cruel world She saw past all of his imperfections. By the time she knew it, she found herself already falling for him. In his eyes, she was an angel. But he was forsaken. Far too broken to possibly love anyone. How could he? When he couldn't even love himself.

20 years ago, the world was on the brink of extinction when the Galactic Federation saved Earth. Since then, humans pledged their loyalty to serve them. Human's connection with one of the higher beings in the universe, resulted in Earth's civilization rising to a higher level. Two decades passed and new generations rose. I, Alexa Stanfield, a 20-year-old college student, found out that the Galactic Federation saved Earth for a dark purpose. For two decades, we've been conscripted and nurtured under the guise of care, only to unveil our grim fate as pawns in an Intergalactic conflict, thrust into a war we never signed up for. The previous species that Galactic Federation sent were annihilated quickly. Therefore, they were forced to use us, as their new human army, opposing the plan's timing. My friends and I were selected as candidates with the resilience to withstand mind manipulation. We endured an intense training regimen that was more like a deadly game of survival. The Federation believed that this was the only way to prepare us for the war since they have no time to waste on conventional methods. My friends and I share an unbreakable bond and loyalty, soon to be challenged by the most harrowing trials. Armed with only our school learning and raw life experiences, we'll face murder, death, sacrifices, and betrayal. A kid, old, man, or woman, there's no exception, regardless of age or gender. Our training ground? Safira, a verdant moon planet. This is the story of our involvement in the most intense training of our lives.

On a day that began like any other, a fifteen-year-old boy lost everything he had ever valued--while gaining a Power that can shake the very foundations of two worlds. For David John Trent, nothing will ever be the same again after a near-death encounter with a cloaked assailant lands him in a hospital ICU. His reality starts to spiral out of control in what appears to be a never-ending nightmare, as he becomes the target of ancient, malevolent forces from another realm. David's only hope of survival rests in the hands of an exiled Druid who is shrouded in many secrets--and a Power that he can barely understand, let alone control. Thrust into the dark realm of Ervon, he now must walk a treacherous path of self-discovery--a path of swords--to face an immortal foe that threatens not only Ervon's existence, but the fate of his own world. ✧☽ ✧ 🗡 ✧ ☽ ✧ Laurel Wreath Awards 2023 Winner: Most Enthralling World Hall of Fame 2023 Awards 1st Place Winner: Adventure Sunset-Moon Awards 1st Place Winner: Action/Adventure Happiness Awards 2nd Place Winner: Fantasy/Adventure/Action ✧☽ ✧ 🗡 ✧ ☽ ✧ Cover Art by Aravis Brightspell

A decaying city known for its underground clubs, art scenes, and haunting beauty, juxtaposed against the sadness that permeates its streets. The time is modern-day, where technology and despair intermingle. Lila Hart, a promising art student, has always hidden her turbulent past behind bright colors on canvas. After suffering a devastating personal loss - the brutal murder of her sister - she spirals into a world of grief and self-obliteration. Lila's coping mechanism leads her into the arms of the city's underground art scene where she meets Adrian Black, a brooding, talented artist with his own dark secrets and obsessions. As Lila and Adrian's connection deepens, they draw closer to the truth behind each other's pain. Adrian carries the scars of childhood abuse from his father, a once-renowned artist whose career was destroyed by addiction. His art is the only way he knows how to express his anguish, but it often teeters on the brink of madness. Reader aggression advise *Severe trigger warnings *
