Azaziah Azar is not like the pirates he shares a ship with. He never would have led them to the fabled Golden Siren if he'd known it really existed. He wishes he hadn't. Az and the siren are both trapped on board The Merry, captained by the unstable Rowan Slade and forced to work for him. At first, they want nothing to do with each other. To Az, the siren is an unfeeling, dangerous predator. To the siren, Az is just another pirate out to make a pretty penny off his shining golden scales. But as Slade's plans for the siren escalate, Az realises that maybe sirens and humans aren't so different after all. When feelings start to develop between the two, and Slade's work causes the siren's stress to reach its peak, Az will learn that what is right isn't always what is easy. Cover art by Limey

📕 Blurb: 100 years ago, the Lunarians and Solarians lost their home. Banished from paradise after generations of war, both peoples now live together in exile within the Varee, waiting for the one person capable of opening the path back: the Key. Dawn was never supposed to survive long enough to become that person. Born as an impossible child between light and darkness, Dawn grows up caught between gods who play games with lives, heroes haunted by their sins, and a world still struggling to forgive itself. To become Key, he must survive impossible trials and discover what he truly is-before old hatreds buried by war claw their way back from the dead. To save the world, Dawn must first survive becoming the thing everyone else needs him to be. But can he forgive them? 🔆 Similar Inspirations: Kingdom Hearts, Full Metal Alchemist, Made In Abyss, Attack On Titan, Hunter x Hunter. ❗️Content warnings: Bullying, ableism, mild innuendo, crude humor, infrequent profanity, racism, fantasy violence, graphic injury, slavery, emotional abuse, none explicit nudity, and passive suicidal ideation. 🧮 Current word count: 90,050

*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.
