    Every culture had had a war through their history. Every victim had been affected in one way or another. Every moment in that war had sadness, pride, remorse, and hope. Who are the ones that are suffering the most? The nation's leader? The people? The land? The soldiers? Their families? If emotions were the make of these wars, then it should be the end of it. A fantasy fused novel of battle, hatred, revenge, sorrow, and hope. Set in the Warring States of ancient China with mythical realm of celestial beings. When all the emotions from war had created something, it would be the Guardian of War in the depiction in a relatable form. Through history, minds of contrasting ideas started battles dragging their followers, willing or unfilling with them to death or great sorrow. The cries of the soldiers' families all created a being to grant their wishes- a guardian but as time grows the being forgets what she was born from and is sent to experience a life of suffering era of war. A little piece to try- - A king of a small state had ridden out with his army had finished a devasting victory battle. As he looked around at the aftermath on the outskirts of his lands layered with blood-stained dirt, unidentifiable bodies of friend or foe and even refuging villagers. Even the land was tired of the battles- it was wasted. The king assumed that nothing in front of him would be still alive as he rode pass with his fatigued horse. In the deaf of the wind he heard faint crying, he scanned over the bodies on the blood-soaked mud. His steed jumped and nayed putting the king out of balance. A figure slowly raised up covered in maroon mud. It was too short and slim of statue to be a soldier. As it raised completely up to its own feet and the only pure sight was the pair of the whites and dark eyes. He realized what he was seeing-- a little girl. In her eyes, the king saw the sorrows of the people and the land.

    In a reality where the living and the dead intertwine, Gesar, the once mighty king, roams his ancient Tibetan castle as a ghost. His heart, as cold as the snow covering the mountain tops and consumed with bitterness, melts when he meets Nur--a woman like a warm summer breeze, who is drawn to forgotten histories and untold tales. As their fates meet, Gesar's long-dead heart stirs with an unfamiliar warmth, and Nur faces an impossible choice: to save the cursed soul she's grown to love or condemn him to eternal solitude. Amidst the snow-capped peaks and forgotten ruins, their love defies time and human greed, but the shadows of ancient conflicts threaten to extinguish their fragile hope. *** Note: It's loosely based on The Epic of Gesar of Ling. The grand winner of the Immortals' Conquest 2022.

Since then, nothing felt right. Invisible footsteps. Fogged mirrors with no steam. Drawings of faceless smiles. And a "new friend" who says... she used to live here. She says Mama promised. She says this house was always hers. She says... Qisya will never be alone again. Because sometimes, what you think is your child... is just a new face for something that never truly left.

    Four heirs are dead. One remains. And the crows have finally found their own. In Jakarta, the children of powerful families are dying-quietly, impossibly, and without witnesses. No suspects. No rumors. Just "accidents" too precise to be coincidence. Adi Surya Wijaya was never meant to be the last one standing, but as the deaths mount, the rational world he trusted begins to unravel. Crows gather where they shouldn't. Old houses grow heavy with a malevolent presence. A ritual keris trembles in its sheath. To survive, Adi must rely on Irfan "Laks" Kusuma-an investigator bound by rigid discipline and a life lived at arm's length. Laks is everything Adi is not: cold, calculating, and far too familiar with the shadows. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the tension between them simmers beneath every unspoken glance and restrained touch. From the neon streets of Jakarta to the mist-shrouded temples of Central Java, they are pulled into a world where myths linger and the ground remembers every drop of blood spilled. Adi and Laks must uncover the truth behind the Orde Gagak before the curse claims its final sacrifice. Orde Gagak is a dark urban fantasy steeped in Southeast Asian folklore, blending supernatural mystery with a slow-burn M/M romance. It is a story of inheritance, belief, and the quiet pull between two men standing on the edge of the old world. Note to Readers: This version of Orde Gagak is a sample of the completed story. If you've enjoyed walking through the shadows with Adi and Laks, you can find the full, finished novella on Google Play Books. To see how the mystery ends and support a solo indie author, simply search for "Orde Gagak by Jem Goe" on the Google Play Store to download your copy today.

    The Shell of Djinns Synopsis In the lush, mystical archipelago of Southeast Asia-where ancient myths cling to the shadows of modern life-thirteen-year-old Ferio lives far from the realm of magic and memory. Raised in the restless streets of Singapore, he knows little of his grandfather Tok Khazim, the last shaman of Bawean Island and guardian of powerful secrets. But destiny stirs. When Tok Khazim vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Ferio is pulled into a legacy older than empires. He inherits three relics bound to the spirit realm: the Shell, home to 1001 djinns-whispering spirits of both light and shadow; the Ancient Garment of Melaka's sultans, which grants invincibility but threatens to erode the soul; and the Keris with Seven Curves, a weapon of myth, each blade a key to salvation-or destruction. As Ferio's dormant powers awaken, so too do the djinns. They speak in riddles, tempt with power, and stir chaos in his heart. To master the relics, Ferio must confront his grandfather's buried past-a pact with forbidden spirits, the betrayal of a brotherhood, and a sacrifice that fractured realms. Enemies emerge from hidden corners of history. Forgotten gods stir beneath the waves. And within Ferio, a question burns: Is his fate written in blood, or can he defy it? The Shell of Djinns is a sweeping dark fantasy rooted in Southeast Asian mythology-a tale of inherited magic, haunted legacies, and the price of power in a world where spirits are never silent, and destiny always demands a toll.
