In early 13th century, Latin invaders came on their flying galleys and conquered the defenceless Byzantine Empire. Forty years later, a fragile peace between the victorious nobles is maintained by way of anemo regattas, races of flying boats, with the winner granted any wish that is in the Emperor's power to deliver. Ikaria is not a Latin - she's a half-Greek daughter of a brilliant anemo engineer, and a genius of the science herself; her dream is to one day win the great regatta of Egriponte, the most prestigious of all competitions - but the commoners have just been banned from taking part in the races. To realise her dream, she must ally with a nobleman - a mysterious Greek turncoat, Mikhael.

"In 'The Candle of Love,' a thousand words weave a poetic tapestry, portraying the enduring flame of love symbolized by a candle. The verses gracefully navigate through time, storms, and shadows, illustrating a love that perseveres, illuminates, and transcends. The imagery of the waxen vessel, moonlit nights, and the dance of shadows creates a vivid portrait of a love that remains steadfast, resilient, and eternal. This poetic odyssey invites readers to immerse themselves in the radiant glow of a love that withstands the tests of time, casting a warm and bright beacon in the coldest nights of life."

A story is never a single tale. Two and a half centuries have passed since the Orders of knighthood defeated the demonic threat of the Predation. Now, thanks to the wisdom of the Association of Merchants and the intellect of the Guild of Engineers, the land is thriving once again. Its citizens sleep soundly in their beds, mistakenly believing that the peace will last forever. Templar Rourke has dedicated his life to hunting down the insidious devices of war that the Predation left behind. His search has led him to the besieged city of New Broker, where he uncovers a terrible truth. Now he and the obstinate Forge Guard Warvitch must escape the city to save the land from ruin, but to do so, their collective skills are going to be sorely tested. Meanwhile, Yosh Morrina, accomplished thief and fraudster, leaves civilisation behind to search for his lost love. Rourke and Morrina have never met, but their tales are tied. Their shared story will take you on a journey to a new world's distant corners. From the wealthy streets of Naddaran to the rising sands of the southern desert, and from the sweltering heat of the Cusp Jungle to the storm blown seacoast of the Lost Lands. **PLEASE NOTE. TALES OF ENGINES & DEMONS WILL BE PUBLISHED ON AMAZON ON 14TH MAY. ON THAT DATE, THE MAJORITY OF IT WILL BE TAKEN DOWN FROM WATTPAD, AND ONLY A SAMPLE WILL REMAIN.**

The knights of Klinberg, riders of the madriel pride, are preparing themselves for the High-tourney, where the new Command of their Order will be decided, and with it, the future of hostilities. But this year the contest for the Orders' leadership will not be settled in the jousting ring. Four children will play a part in its outcome. Grifford and Tahlia Layne; brutish son and wayward daughter of the Order's finest Pride-commander, Maddock Jonas, a farm-boy who has heard his future told by a voice from the vault-weed, and Dakskansia, an Engineer's daughter, imbued with strength and intellect but not with courage. Their actions will set them on a course that will shape both the future and the past, but before they can do that, they must overcome their enmity towards one another.
