Ruby is a teenage runecaster that somehow became Merlin's failed lab experiment. He doesn't remember what the madman magitech inventor did to him that caused him amnesia, but he'd rather escape not knowing than be treated like a lab rat. While on the run, he finds refuge with Seri, a winged boy who's convinced that the world is out to get cambions like them. Stranded in a derelict house with only each other for company, the homeless amnesiac and his paranoid host can offer each other what the other needs, but Ruby didn't escape one cage just to end up in another, and his bid for freedom could expose them both. If lies are a blanket of blissful ignorance, then the truth is a rat maze growing more complicated with every turn. *** Aug. 16th 2022 status: the new draft is coming soon. Check out the sneak peak chapters and save the book in your reading list. This story incorporates the myth that Merlin was a son of a demon, but instead of the medieval era, he lives in a world where science and technology coexist with magic: a perfect place for one skilled in all three. REVIEWS and achievements (of the early draft): - I just love the creativity of this story! I can't think of any story to compare it to, because it's simply so unique. - @TeamofDreams - This book is unlike anything I've ever read. Time travel is one thing, but when you add one of the most famous wizard of all time, you get to a whole different level of arousing intrigue. - @Messi_Forever, author of Game On, Alpha. 2nd place in The World of Walker Awards 2020. 3rd place in The Dream Awards 2020. 1st place for best graphics in The Peacock Show Awards 2021 .

She's nauseous and weak; still, she forces her brain to stay awake. Ignoring the pain of reopening old injuries. There are more bruises she can't hide, more pain to bear, but she's finally tired to do it in silence. She wipes the humiliating tears off her face. "Don't you dare touch me again." she defies the monster. "I don't even think God is on your side," he says with a reeking smell of alcohol. At the same time, a loud thunder with the brightest lightning illuminates the sky, the rain pours heavily A tall man elegantly walks forward, evidently upset he glances at the girl with the corner of his beautiful crystal blue eyes, tearing apart the man who has dared to put his hands on the girl he's been trying to protect. "A leech like you would never understand the depths of my trust for this girl." The God of Water stands behind her, like a bodyguard. "Giving up has never been an option for you, perhaps taking the garbage out of your way can help you find your freedom." The mysterious man says. Just as he finishes his sentence, a bolt of lightning strikes loudly in the sky. He turns to face the monster as he freezes in shock, He knows, this time he won't be forgiven.

[Reached # 2 on Regency and # 1 on Austen] After the death of her father, Lady Sarah Jane is passed around her inheriting cousins and uncles as the tolerated ward no one wanted to care for. Years later, when the last of her relatives passed, and with the threat of dissolving the Rosenberg title looming around the corner, Sarah Jane must find a way to secure her future in a society that places prime importance on men. Stumbling upon an old document that could save her, she discovers the uncommon arrangement between her father and the late Viscount Killsworth. The agreement places her into the capable arms and mercy of Killsworth's son, an unmarried gentleman who turns into her protector and guardian. Lord Killsworth keeps himself isolated due to a secret. Although he welcomes the sizable inheritance, he did not expect that it comes along with an atrociously mannered savage of a ward. Yet, when his ward demands for a Season, he soon realizes that obliging her might become the ultimate rescue of his broken, wicked heart.
