❃ AWARD-WINNING WATTPAD FEATURED STORY ❃ Still reeling from the fallout of the Battle for the Broken Shore, Khadgar learns Azeroth has less than one month left before Illidan rises again as Sargeras's avatar. While the battle for Illidan's soul rages within the Nether, Khadgar must gather the quarrelling nations, find and breach the Chamber of the Eye, and stop Gul'dan before it is too late. But at what cost? ❃ In the endless void of the Twisting Nether, Illidan wakes, formless. His fallen body--long housed in the Vault of the Wardens--has been stolen, his awakened soul trapped by the immense powers of the Necromancer Gul'dan, servant of the Dark Titan Sargeras. Taken away and hidden deep within Suramar's ruined Temple of Elune, Illidan's body hangs suspended in fel energy, transforming into a powerful dreadlord.

He watches, horrified, as he eradicates his home world, consuming all life, leaving Azeroth burning in eternal flames. But Illidan's fight is not yet over. By waking him, Gul'dan has granted him one final chance to settle an ancient score: to bring an end to the Burning Legion once and for all. As his soul drains little by little into the Titan's avatar, Illidan realises he cannot stand against the Legion alone. In so much darkness, there must be light. There can be only one. The memories return, of an age long past, of the one he loved with all of his heart. Even in the silence of the Nether, his heart still longs for her. From beyond eternity, The Betrayer calls to her, asking the impossible.

❃ AWARD-WINNING PUBLISHED NOVEL ❃ BOOK I OF THE TRANSCENDENCE SERIES ❃ Growing up during the centuries-long conflict between the empires of Egypt and Hatti, the young princess Istara is taken hostage by the King of Hatti to secure the loyalty of her father, the King of Kadesh to the empire. Soon her new life in Hatti's glittering capital becomes all she knows. Bound in blood before the gods to Hatti's unwilling crown prince, Istara, now Hatti's queen-in-waiting, learns she will never be loved. But the drums of war beat again, and when the scheming plans of Hatti's king threaten the existence of all civilization, the gods give Istara a choice: to leave behind everything she knows to save mankind, or remain where she is, powerless, a token on the game board of kings. On the brink of one of the most brutal battles in history, she chooses to risk her life to deliver a message to the only man able to prevent the prophecy from becoming a reality--her mortal enemy, the Pharaoh Ramesses II. Wounded, cold and hungry, she wanders in the battle's horrific aftermath, and aids a powerful commander, who she learns protected her once, and has been bound to her ever since by a prophetic dream of his future. Despite his resistance, and Istara once more becoming a pawn of kings, they must confront an eternal love so powerful, not even kings, the gods, or death can keep them apart.

. . ------------------ ~☽ ◯ ☾~ ------------------ I'm a wolf...I hunger for you in ways I didn't think imaginable. This obsession is eating me alive. I feel this hunger no matter what I do and I'm starved. It's insatiable and only you can quench it. Every full moon it's the same. It's the time of the Wild Hunt, when the wolves disappear into the night, tracking the prey, a deer or stag. Some are easier to catch than the rest, but the prime prey, is the Golden Stag, the one that evades them every time. Most girls don't make it past fifteen. They are caught and taken as a mate before they learn how to survive the great hunt. The longer a girl survives, the more appealing she becomes. She begins as a deer, fresh and unaware...vulnerable. If she lasts three moons, she becomes a stag, the more respected prey and the more skilled...worth hunting. The one who has survived the longest is crowned the Golden Stag. Every Alpha male; the strongest, quickest, boldest, track the scent of the Golden Stag. It is different from that of the others, intoxicating...tempting. To bring down the Golden Stag is a mark of skill and authority, well worth the time spent pursuing it. The Wild Hunt. It makes me feel alive and dead, free and caged, broken and whole. I am the Golden Stag. Catch me if you can. . ------------------ ~☽ ◯ ☾~ ------------------
