The Song of Vallis
"All that is made must be unmade, And all that rises shall be felled." Before the rise of mankind, before memory itself, there was Ahm-the body of all that is-and The One, its spirit. From their eternal dance was born the world of Vê, a living realm of mountains, oceans, flame, and storm. Upon this world rose the dragons-the Nezulim-ancient beings of mind and fire, who ruled for ten thousand ages before envy and pride brought their fall. When the heavens split and the Bolide descended, it carried a new race: men, refugees from a dying world called Meä. Guided by prophets and enslaved by reptilian lords, humanity built its kingdoms upon the bones of dragons and the ashes of paradise. From this bondage rises Mosul, the Son of Antoc, a king who dares to defy the gods. His rebellion will ignite the last great war of Vallis-a war of dragons, men, and immortal prophets whose destinies are bound to the cycles of creation and ruin. Told as a translation of the lost scripture of the Neandilim, The Song of Vallis is a mythic epic that spans worlds and ages-a fusion of cosmic theology, heroic tragedy, and apocalyptic prophecy. Fans of The Silmarillion, Paradise Lost, and Dune will find themselves immersed in a vast mythology of fallen gods, eternal recurrence, and the unending pursuit of divine knowledge.Complete
The Trials of the Crowned Heart
I was born to wear a crown but never to choose my own fate. They say the trials are tradition. That six princes fighting for my hand is how peace is kept. But I know better. These halls reek of secrets. My father won't meet my eyes, and my future is being bartered behind closed doors. And then he arrived. Prince Malric. The dark one. The uninvited one. The one whose kingdom was never supposed to exist. The moment I met him, I knew: the danger isn't the trials... it's the truth no one dares to speak. They want me silent. Obedient. Married off like a pawn on a game board. But I've never been good at playing by the rules. So if they won't tell me what he's really here for, I'll find out myself. Even if it means sneaking through shadows, breaking royal law, or letting my heart betray me. Let them try to control me. I am not a prize.
