Nauticalfantasy Stories

Kemek: Legacy of the Starborn is a fantasy series set in the imagined world of Kemek, a realm inspired by the cultures, histories, and traditions of Africa. The story centers on Afion, a young captain from JaWara determined to rise above the life of a pirate, and Princess Axali of Nisa'Iiha, who longs to be more than a ceremonial presence in her kingdom's court. Their personal quests for identity and purpose unexpectedly entangle them in the turmoil of Rema, a southern kingdom fractured by a civil war that threatens to engulf all of Kemek. As the conflict deepens, Afion and Axali must safeguard their companions and allies while uncovering a conspiracy far older and more intricate than the roots of the Mun Giti rainforest.

The sea remembers what the world forgets. Raised above the shoreline, David Dawson grows up with salt in the air and unanswered questions in his chest. Years ago, the ocean showed him something impossible-something beautiful-and then closed over it as if it had never been. Time passes. Childhood fades. But the pull of the water never loosens its grip. When a quiet, unfamiliar girl arrives from afar, carrying the sea's cadence in her voice and mystery in her eyes, old currents begin to stir. As land and ocean draw closer, secrets long submerged ripple toward the surface-about family, belonging, and the thin, fragile line between myth and truth. Set where waves meet stone and memory clings like tidefoam, Fish out of Water is a story of love shaped by two worlds, of choosing where to stand when the horizon calls, and of listening-truly listening-to what the sea has been whispering all along. Setting: California Era: 1907 (Ch 1), 1918 (Ch 2 - 21)
