During this time of peace, war is brewing in the hearths and souls of people tired of living inside foreign borders. However, war is a costly bussiness in which the victor is not the one with the higher numbers or better strategies, but the one who is willing to pay to the last coin at the bottom of the sack in order to ensure their soldiers have the sharpest swords and toughest armor, the swiftest arrows and stronger bows in order to ensure victory. This job of producing and selling the best equipment in the Free World falls to Armando and his crew.
 "Tough times are coming dear boy and if we don't carefully pick a side before the flood we will find ourselves drowning in the waters of our own stirring." Armando de Vici

55 parts Complete
Fauns dancing around fires. Griffins soaring high. Unicorns galloping across wide fields and centaurs battling giants. These are things Amelia Cromwell sees every day. She doesn't know how they happen or why she sees them but every time she looks through a rain covered window or at a patterned wall, they're there. Does she feel crazy and odd about these sensational images? Absolutely. It feels like something is missing in her life, but what? Now that her father has gone off to war she has to stay at the beautifully empty mansion of Professor Kirke. When four siblings arrive at the mansion, Amelia's life is thrown upside down. With an irritable boy, an emotional little girl and two protective older siblings, life could not have suddenly become more complicated. Throw a mystical land and magical creatures into the mix, and the result is confusion, anger, hope and love. Edmund Pevensie seems ready to grind Amelia into a million pieces, but when she is his only comfort and last hope in a land where nothing is familiar, could love bloom in the depths of his shadowed heart? ****************** "Yes. I'm not ready to die yet. There's still so much I have to do..." "Like what?" He sighed, "I've always wanted to sign up for the army - to help us win the war so that other children don't have to be separated from their parents like we were. I need to see my dad again, make sure he's okay and not dead with a bullet in his chest. I have to... apologize to Peter for being a complete arsehole of a brother. I have to tell Susan that I'm really thankful for her making sure I'm okay, even when I was so rude to her. I have to tell Lucy that despite all the problems we had as brother and sister, I love her... I love all of them... more than they know..." Amelia heard a single sniffle as he tried to wipe away the tears at his eyes by rubbing his head against the fabric on his shoulder. "We'll get out of here, Ed, you'll be able to tell them all. I'll make sure of it."

Wren, a sharp-tongued and self-serving pirate, has always sought treasure above all else. But when he encounters an ostracized, amnesiac god with a mysterious past, his quest for wealth takes an unexpected turn. Initially, Wren sees the god as nothing more than an unwelcome travel partner, but the divine being's help becomes essential in his pursuit of a legendary treasure that has eluded even his father, a renown treasure hunter. As Wren and the god navigate the seas and land, they find themselves entangled in a fierce conflict between vindictive gods and monstrous beasts that threaten their realms. The stakes are high, and Wren quickly learns that the path to treasure is fraught with dangers beyond his wildest imaginings. Amidst the chaos, Wren discovers that the real threat may not be the gods or beasts, but the rising tensions between the islanders and mainlanders. As these human conflicts intensify, Wren must confront the uncomfortable truth that sometimes, humanity can be its own greatest enemy. ___________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!
