The king is dead. And those that did it are literally getting away with murder. Thanks in part to framing two innocent men: one a former and trusted general of the late King, and the other his naive, not-so-worldly son, the prince. Together, they must join forces to track down those who actually did the foul deed, bring them to justice, and clear both their names. But, as with all things that sound so simple, they rarely, if ever, are. When a former associate of the general turns up, making an offer they can't refuse, these two mismatched companions are sent down a path to new adventures that neither of them ever asked to be a part of. And in the process, they will give rise to a new legend: the legend of The Inglorious Brotherhood. **Episode 1 COMPLETED 19.5k words** **Episode 2 COMPLETED 25k words** **Episode 3 in Contemplation** **Episode 4 Being Dreamt Up** Total: 39k words (ongoing) ⭐Awards⭐ 1st Place: 🥇Monthly Sunflower Awards (Sept 2019) 🥇Creativity Awards (2019) 🥇Creative Awards (2019) 🥇Platinum Awards (2020) 🥇 Aesthete Awards (2020) 🥇 The Wolf Awards (2020) 2nd Place: 🥈Rainbow Awards (2019) 🥈The Witchcraft Awards (2019)

A dark foe. A forbidden love. A deadly, high-seas quest. Mercenary sailor Jack's past comes back to haunt him when his crew receives a commission during the height of hurricane season. Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.

[Finished and being edited] Once captured by a distraught king, a fierce warrior is forced to choose between saving his family or his country. But choices are never that simple. *** Book 1 of The War of Fire and Ice. The centuries-long war between Fire and Ice has reached an uneasy standstill; but, as time progresses, that newfound peace starts cracking. Thorn, a good warrior with a dark past, has been captured by the crazed Fire King who will spout Machiavellian ideals to obtain the item he desperately requires. However, the king carries a heavy burden that the rest of his court are more than happy to take advantage of. Meanwhile, panic blooms throughout Ice as Thorn's absence creates a hole that their king and Thorn's wife are unable to fill. Seeking to unite their divided kingdom, the Ice King and his close subjects search for ways to survive the upcoming war. There is more than one layer to the Kingdoms' troubles. There is more than one issue in the rulers' hearts. There is more than one outcome of right or wrong. And sometimes, death is the only answer.
