All twelve-year-old Reid Breton wants is to fit in at the exclusive school for boys where he was abandoned as a baby. Easier said than done when you're a poor orphan surrounded by rich kids and a headmistress with a grudge. So when Oliver, the twin Reid never knew he had, tumbles out of a tunnel in the wall of the dormitory basement, Reid jumps on the chance to escape.
He follows Oliver through the tunnel to the hidden land of their birth, Hollenmere, where Reid learns that he wasn't abandoned as a baby. He was kidnapped by darthags: faunish creatures who snatch babies from Hollenmere and dump them on Earth under the orders of their queen. While the thought of baby-nabbing monsters is more than a little terrifying, Reid hopes he will finally find his place in Hollenmere's woodlands.
That hope begins to crumble the moment he arrives and begins training as a soldier to fight the darthags. Though he is excited to learn archery and swordsmanship with Oliver, the prospect of actually fighting the darthags paralyzes Reid, not least of all because he isn't very good at soldiery. He gets sick in the practice yard, and his comrades treat him as a separate species, fearing the otherworldly diseases he might be carrying. Oliver is the only one who believes in Reid's abilities.
But when Oliver is captured by the darthags, Reid has to find the guts to face battle, or risk losing his only brother, and his only friend, forever.

Survivor
Since Dan officially joined Xaver's pack, two years have passed. The two are inseparable and always there for each other. Everything would be perfect if it weren't for this one problem. When it comes to the question of having offspring, the couple has different opinions and often quarrels. Time is running out, as the tradition of the Loup-ga demands a successor before a couple's wedding. But there is an even bigger problem than that. Humans have started investigating the island of the Loup-ga and are not very friendly towards the werewolves. One day, Xaver's pack is attacked, and he sacrifices himself for his comrades. Xaver is captured by the humans, leaving his pack behind. Now Dan has to face a great challenge: he must lead the pack and rescue his beloved at the same time.

The Rogue King {18+} (Book 2)
[COMPLETED] I was cursed at such a young age, abandoned by my own wolf and the Moon Goddess for something that wasn't in my control. I don't even think having a mate is in the cards for me... ✨🌘✨ I jumped when the final horn sounded, circling the garden before everyone became silent. They all returned to their seats, my father rising from his chair as I stood from my seat along with the other pups. I struggled to breath as we took our position, standing in the centre away from everyone else. My father offered me a reassuring glance though it did nothing to ease my anxiety, all I had to do now was wait. My eyes widened when the moons blue light shined down on me, illuminating my skin as I stared up at the sky in awe. "We thank the moon goddess for the power of her light..." I dropped my gaze back down, my fathers words surrounding us, "...Shall it bathe you and grant you strength, agility, speed like the wolf..." The pups around me began to moan in pain, capturing my attention as I furrowed my brows. Their features were all contorted by an invisible pain that inflicted them but I felt absolutely nothing. My heart raced when their groans of pain became screams but I- I suddenly drop to the ground, a painful throbbing in my head forcing me to the ground. I grip the sides of my head, screaming. I don't know how to explain it but it felt as though my brain was tearing in two, like my head was cracking open. When the pain stopped, I found myself surrounded by wolves, the shifted pups. Looking down at myself, I only see my body, no paws and no fur. I hadn't shifted... ✨🌕✨ Book 2* 'The Wolven King' is the first book and must be read in order to understand this one. ⚠️ WARNING!! This book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+. There are depictions of violence, mature language, sexual behaviour and sexual abuse.Complete

The Dreadfang
Allow me the grand honor of introducing you to Sam the Dreadfang. A dauntless warlord, an inimitable mentor, and the venerated father of ten-thousand-and-one. Yet the man wasn't always the greatness he stands today. Once, he was no more than a nameless boy - an orphan torn from his mother's breast and left to rot among the sworn enemies of his kin. Like so many of us, with the weight of the world slowly breaking his back, he should've succumbed to the cruel Mistress of Fate. But then, on one fortuitous day of murder and mayhem, came Dale - the Warbear - Abberford, and the boy saw himself elevated from the chains of poverty to a life of perilous adventure; a journey amid ancient Dwarven dynasties, Goblin kingpins, and crazed revolutionaries. They always said Dale had a scary eye for talent. They had no idea. When the mad wizard - Edgar Thaine - threatens to unveil the world below, a world long forgotten by mankind, the ancient order known as the Highgard sends their most treasured asset, the Warbear, to end the wizard's violent defiance and maintain the old world's privacy. Alongside his new master, Sam is forged to the likes of a young warrior, and taught the ways of a world he'd thought to know before finding himself shackled to the ultimate test: survive and breathe eternal glory, or perish and tumble down the abyss of the nameless.Complete
