In a world where tall ships have led to expansive conquests, people are saying a masked man is leading a resistance against the imperial occupiers. Able Houser, a scholar struggling with a stalled career, is both skeptical of the stories yet hopeful that they could be hiding the trail of the insurgents his father was helping when he vanished twelve years ago. After turning up hints of a government cover-up, Able sails across the sea to investigate further and becomes entangled not only in the conflict between the imperial enforcers and the native people but also in a long-standing conspiracy.

"Thou shalt not surrender to those of injustice." Being named "Justice" isn't as easy as one would have thought especially if you specialize in the Art of War. However, that's how things seem to be for Astraea Twine, Commander in Chief of the armies of Ecarlious. Since long, Astraea has taken a blind eye to the pull of guilt. After all, doesn't the greater good always win? Yet, Astraea can't help but doubt the crown's power... and intentions. For far too long, too many wrongdoings have been done, staining her hands bloody. Too many lives taken for the mere greed of the crown. Slowly regrets began to devour her, piece by piece... Those innocent lives slaughtered. Children and elders both, burn. Life to ash. Warm to cold. Simple as that. As Astraea begins to doubt the lines of friends and foes, a price comes about. The crowd hears the news...of her betrayal. Now no longer the once respected Commander, but rather the treacherous traitor. No longer does she serve injustice, no longer will she cower in the presence of the crown. Together with many newly founded allies, her conquest to a better world begins. Perhaps, even love is possible, the one thing that could ruin all. Yet so strong, enough to unite us all. In the world of where magic and power rules all, one cannot hope but to surrender. And thus forward will the dance of life and death begin. Long live the Commander of Legends. The cover is made by @Endlessheights- Discontinued unless I somehow get inspired again.

❖ QUEENKILLER, KINGMAKER Book 1 ❖ Feudal Southeast-Asia filled with magic, daemons, and a royal conspiracy. This is Isla's quest for the truth, and her slow spiral into becoming her very own worst nightmare. When the gods ascended thousands of years ago, they left behind the divine gift of theurgy. Its powers still echo amongst men, but run fiercer yet in the blood of kings and queens. And one of them will stop at nothing before Isla is dead. A betrayal lures her out of refuge and into her journey home, where she must unmask her enemies before they unmask her. The theurgy that she has had to keep hidden for many years can be her greatest ally or her most lethal foil. Only her wits can guide her through the dangerous politics of the Surikh court. But amidst the plots and schemes bubbling around her, she uncovers something far more sinister than the identity of her enemies. Something that can change her entire life; indeed, entire kingdoms. ↝ this work contains violence, profanity, and sexual references ↜ ↝ Winner of Wattys 2016 HQ Love Award ↝ Winner of FANTASCI's first season Chosen One awards ↝ Winner of The Cryptic Awards 2018 ↝ Featured in Fantasy as of 18-01-2017 ↝ Wattpad Editor's Pick January 2021
