London, 2026 - New security laws threaten the existence of the free press. Where the exposure of government secrets is harshly punished, the dangerous research is left to a squad of deviant freelancers known as the BLACK INK SOCIETY - a witty thief, a well-read anarchist and a psychopathic genius. With highly illegal methods and infamous creativity, this unlike group of investigators uncovers secrets, affairs and scandals directly under the eyes of the powerful. As a newspaper editor is murdered under mysterious circumstances and the team starts to trace back his research to a secretive pharmaceutical corporation, they find themselves in a mesh of lies and corruption that soon puts their very lives at risk - and threatens to reveal their own, dark secrets. But the Black Ink Society will deliver the news. Whatever the cost. ~ A dark, fast-paced dystopian thriller filled with coolness, wit and sardonic humour. BLACK INK SOCIETY has reached #113 in Sci-Fi and is now featured on BadassReads and Lemon-Haze's "Young Writers to Change Wattpad". "My eyes were glued and my imagination was full steam ahead. [...] Anyone who enjoys smart dialogue, quirky defiant characters and intelligent writing will get a kick out of this." - Mr. Ridiculous' Reviews "This story is amazing. There's nothing more I can say, read it and you'll see what I'm talking about." - Rainbow's Reviews "BLACK INK SOCIETY [...] reminds me of a cross between Sherlock and the A-Team. In other words, two of my favorite things put together, and I'm loving every bit of it." - Mack's Critiques and Reviews

The world as we know it is controlled by Nobles - powerful wizards that have power over everything. It is the age of ice; a time of ages past, lost in our historical records and unbeknownst to the world today. The commoners who don't wield magic live under their thrall as slaves, doing everything humanly possible to avoid earning their wrath. A single misstep could spell torture or death. One morning, a commoner accidentally takes matters into his own hands by standing up against a prominent Noble's son. The ensuing altercation enrages the boy's father Malevolent Drake, who delivers an ultimatum: A hundred commoners are to die in three days to restore his house's honor, or the elimination of the entire commoner camp. Faced with that reality, the leader of the camp hatches a plot to bring in outside help to combat the Noble army. With time running short, nobody really knows if the plan will even work - given the fact that the Nobles themselves have a few tricks up their sleeves as well. Tricks that could spell doom for everyone involved... * Highest ranked #63 in Adventure (Apr'16) & #708 in Fantasy (May'16). Updates every Tuesday & Friday :)

11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?

After a century of bitter warfare, the Starfronts and the Colters finally reach an uneasy truce. Prince Nickifer Starfront wants to hold this peace for as long as possible, but his bastard brother Rynn Stant is seemingly doing all he can to ensure that a new war is started, and the King, Rickardo Starfront, does nothing to stop him. With the kingdom divided and many of the vassals under him distrustful of their liege and leaning towards rebellion, how will Nick keep this peace? Meanwhile, the Gryphon Riders of the Trident are stirring, displeased with the Colters for not repaying them for the gold they loaned. However, Tyler Colter has an offer for them that they may not be able to resist. Cover image courtesy of Nathan Parkart on Deviantart.
