The Earth is nothing but a poisonous shadow of its former self. From its war-beaten ashes, new societies and empires are reborn. Far removed from the gleaming skylines of Levem Teraam, the wanderers and religious tribes of Malkuth occupy the harsh deserts, foraging for whatever scraps of technology they can find to survive. Death comes to them from all sides-yet something darker and much more sinister seems to be lurking beneath the sands, shrouded behind centuries of mystery: the being they call the Shadow Man.

Immortal Presage: Dark Prophecy
Note: This is a small preview of the final book. Click here to purchase a copy of the book: http://a.co/gOUs3Sz ____________________________________________________ What are memories to us that live and die; Is it joy, pain, regret, hope, pride, hatred. Do those memories become the things we cherish for a lifetime? If the mind forgets does our heart remember? All these things wrapped in emotions and feelings; do these memories make us mortal, do they make us human? In a world of legends, where religion, science, and magic meld together, there are those who live their lives as well as they can, holding on to their memories and allowing their feelings to guide and move them toward a better future through life and into death. And then there are those whose lives are unending, everlasting, and unchanging-the Amara- the Immortals. Four lives have begun to move along a path bound to the fate of every immortal. Although their lives cannot be given up or taken, they move according to a destiny-a curse-that was left behind by those of the past many centuries ago. A prophecy has foretold the deaths of the deathless, but who or what could bring an end to the Immortals? In this novel, the immortals must face the possibility of extinction as the events of an ancient prophesy begin to unfold.Terminé
Transformers: Prime: The New Beginning (Updated 2025)
Five years have passed since the heroic sacrifice of Optimus Prime and the valiant efforts of the Autobots brought an end to the Chaos Bringer, Unicron, and marked the rebirth of Cybertron from the ashes of war. Peace had finally returned to the planet, and for the first time in centuries, the sparks of its people could beat without fear. Under a fragile but hopeful new order, the Autobots began to rebuild not just their shattered world-but their way of life. But peace is never eternal. In the shadows of Cybertron's forgotten warzones and ancient catacombs, a new threat rises-a cunning and ruthless warlord who has seized control of the fractured Decepticon remnants. Driven by vengeance and dark ambition, he plots to awaken Unicron once more and plunge the universe into chaos. As the Autobots scramble to prevent another catastrophe, an ominous prophecy begins to echo across the stars-one that speaks of betrayal, redemption, and a warrior of lost origin. Meanwhile, on Earth, a mysterious Cybertronian drifter known only as Orion Eclipse searches for the missing pieces of his past. Haunted by visions, fragmented memories, and the pain of a forgotten legacy, Orion is drawn into a conflict he does not fully understand. Once branded a Decepticon, now hunted by both friend and foe, he must choose between the dark past he's been chained to and the light that could define his future. As old enemies resurface and new alliances are forged, the fate of both Earth and Cybertron hangs in the balance. Will Orion Eclipse rise to become the hero Cybertron never knew it needed... or will his buried past drag them all into oblivion? In the end, one question remains: Will he be the one to light their darkest hour?
Buckets: A Star Wars Story
-Part I of "Heart of Empire, Heart of Rebellion" Series- TK-65780 has been an Imperial stormtrooper for so long that he's forgotten any other name he ever had. An orphan from Corellia, the Imperial military was his way out and he never once looked back. Lying wounded on the beaches of Scarif, he looks back across his career and at the friends he made. They're just a string of numbers in the Empire, and to the Rebellion they're just more identical faces of an endless army, but for him they each had a name. And they gave him one of his own. - |Highest Rank| #1 in #stormtrooper [9/5/2019], [5/29/2022], [11/2/2023], & [4/3/2024] #1 in #rogueone [4/2/2024] & [4/16/2024] #1 in #starwarsrebels [4/15/2024] --- Cover by @thesquarecheese --- **DISCLAIMER: I do not own Star Wars, or any of the related characters except for the original characters featured in this story.

The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Terminé

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥
Rebellion
Picked for the WattVamps February Showcase & now a Wattpad Dark Fantasy featured story! The Risen Series - Book 1 Rebellion I've been a cardholding member of the undead for centuries, torn away from the sun by a vampire with no care for human life. From the moment I opened my eyes to the night and had my first craving for blood, my Maker twisted and moulded me into exactly what he wanted; trapping me in his hold. Until one day he let me go. Content to live out eternity as no more than a shadow, I do my best to stay out of trouble. But trouble always had a way of finding me. During a hunt, I run into another vampire doing his best to go unnoticed; one so ancient the air around him reeks of power, and he claims he's just escaped imprisonment from the very council that used me to their own ends. Atanas demands I help him until he regains his strength so he can finish what he started a century ago, but I'm not sure that's all he wants from me. And while I'm no supporter of the council he seeks vengeance against, there are secrets that bind my life to theirs, and I know better than most that disloyalty means death. But in the shadows, a rebellion has been brewing, and I might be more important to both sides than I could ever have imagined.Terminé
