Dru Tabris was never meant to survive. After killing a nobleman in the name of vengeance, all that waited for her was dead. Until fate intervened. Conscripted into the Grey Wardens, she is thrust from the executioner's rope into a war against ancient monsters stirring beneath the earth. The Blight spreads like rot, and when betrayal from within leads to the king's death, Dru and Alistair, fellow warrior, are all who remain. Hunted by the crown they once served, they become fugitives in a land teetering on ruin. Their only hope lies in a fraying alliance of mages, mercenaries, and outcasts-each with secrets of their own. To end the Blight, Dru must unite a broken kingdom, face the ghosts of her past, and confront a destiny written in blood.

**Wattpad Featured Story** Zahra Kasmut has lived before our time. In an ancient life, she fought against Set, an Egyptian deity, who had amassed a commanding army to overthrow her country. He butchered anyone who opposed him--man or woman, child or elder--and set countless towns and villages ablaze. With her city starving from a seemingly endless siege, Zahra and her companions had only two choices: kill an Egyptian god or die trying. Somehow, Zahra survived Set's onslaught on her city, but not without an unwilling sacrifice that forced her away from her brother, uncle, and nation she had defended. Thousands of years later, she now walks among us. Unaware of her true past, she goes about her mundane days craving more to life; all while trying to understand who the distant yet familiar voices in her head belong to. One man, however, is aware of who she truly is: Akar Usi, a beloved ally of Set. Since the siege, he's been trapped under the ruins of his collapsed city, waiting to emerge and spark the civil war of Ancient Egypt once more. First, though, he'll start with Zahra--he'll start by making her suffer. --- Cover by the brilliant @MayFreighter !

'A Sorcerer's Demons' is a fantasy-werewolf hybrid which answers the question "what if a mage became a werewolf?" Of course there's more awaiting us in the darkness than that as we follow Zanthos, the betrayed mage, through his whirlwind tour of the Freelands at the hands of slavers. Follow our hero as he wrests back control of his own mind from the rage-fueled insinuations of 'the beast,' and learns that facing your demons is more than just a metaphor. Updates on Thursdays and Sundays.

ISLAND LEGENDS is an epic fantasy adventure series set in a galaxy reeling from devastating wars, filled with countless alien species, a rich history of powerful magical forces, and the interventions of many gods and demons constantly at war. *** James Island was born two years ago as a fully grown man. While struggling to build a life for himself in the desert city of Tyken Town, James finds his world turned upside down when he is confronted by Evan Goodheart, a strange young alien who claims to be on a mission from the gods to find James and save his own people. Despite trepidation, James finds an affinity with the lost and bewildered Evan and takes it upon himself to help him find his way; all while attempting to maintain some order in the life he's made and his construction work responsibilities. Throughout the course of the day James will discover just how entwined his fate is with Evans as the truth of his unknown past is revealed to him, setting him on a perilous journey that will lead him across the galaxy. *** Among its many influences are the grand operatic adventures of the Star Wars universe, the ensemble cast of desperate heroes of a Final Fantasy game, and the long and all-important journey of The Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time series. I also like to think of it as a serial television show, where we learn more of the characters as the progressively complex story develops, with new characters being introduced along the way. ISLAND LEGENDS: THE AWAKENING OF JAMES ISLAND was previously published by Solstice Publishing and is now looking for a new publisher. * Only the first few chapters are available on Wattpad as a teaser *
