There is rumor of a man who can bend the seas to his will with a passing thought. That this man stands at the bow of a ship larger than a palace, so deadly in passing only the ghosts of men can recall the size of its crew. They say he is dressed in velvet black, with gold garnishing the material in such intricate patterns only the sea sprites could have composed its mastery. More wilder tales depict his vessel guarded by sea-monsters on either side, leading his ship to mythical shores littered with rubies and silver. No one knows his true identity, so each rumor whispers a different name that suits the tale. In Evangeline Carmichael's homeland, they call him the Gilded Raven. But now she is far from home, deep in uncharted waters. And if a flag of black and gold is seen at the edge of the horizon, it doesn't quite matter what name is muttered under her breath. Whatever is whispered, it will be the last thing to leave her lips before she is struck down by his blade. Unless she is, in fact, the treasure he seeks. * A U T H O R ' S N O T E This is my Nanowrimo for 2019 - so all updates will be coming over the course of this month. If you don't mind a few grammatical errors (as this will be my first draft) I'd love for you to join me on this journey. I've never published a Nanowrimo story, let alone simultaneously while I write. So, here goes nothing. Assuming updates will transpire every 2-3 days - depending on my word count goals.

But Adonis is known for the trail of broken hearts he's left behind, and Ellie doesn't want to be just another starry eyed girl to fall under his spell...

** WATTYS 2018 WINNER ** Not one person in the history of the world ever said being Deathsworn was an easy thing. Fun, sometimes, and completely your fault, but never easy. You have one rule that you obey, unless, of course, you want to die. Your life is your list, your list is your life. For the Gallowmen, their journey as Deathsworn has seen them travel the broken realm of Oblivia. From Green Country to the Island Kingdoms, from Sand Country to the Scavania. Death follows where they go, their list gets shorter, and the dream of life becomes half-real. It would be fine if things were that simple. But curious things are happening in the west and the Burned Priests are charged with confronting the Empire's greatest threats. Where they point, the Deathsworn must go. They'll do their job, ask no questions, and get their freedom. Or they'll die trying. *Deathsworn is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.

Fear the dark. Bar the doors. Don't breathe a word. Wait for the Hooded Men to save you. The people of Nictaven live in fear of the night; governed by magic no one save a few can control, in a land plagued by demons and cannibal tribes, and isolated from all other worlds for centuries, they're right to.

But in an abandoned crypt worlds away, Jordan Haverford is about to change that. It wasn't quite the holiday he had been hoping for. Plunged into a world where who you are and what you believe can kill you, a world of demons and knives in the dark and wars fought from behind the doors of the rich, Jordan's gentle Oxford upbringing isn't quite sufficient preparation. Instantly a pawn in a deadly game, separated from his sister and watched from the shadows by an assassin with a vendetta, he finds himself in the company of an Unspoken who has an uncanny knack for finding the Gifted - and Jordan can't seem to get rid of him.
