The Exiled King | ✔
The world plunged into an era of peace, built upon the backs of the last heroes, who protected their realm and then vanished into legend, taking their powers with them. When the lost powers awaken in six strangers across the mortal realm once again, they seek answers... What danger has compelled the powers to reappear after half a century of peace? As demons once again begin to crawl from the fiery realm of the Abyss, it becomes clear that they are not acting on their own - someone cunning is leading them. But something doesn't add up. The deeper they dig, the more twisted the truth becomes and the more uncertain their path forward. Who... or what must they truly save their world from? As destinies unravel and loyalties are tested, one question lingers: What if saving the world... means trusting the very force that could end it? An epic trilogy of gods, mortals, and fates intertwined - where it seems that things may have been set in motion long before anyone could ever have anticipated and the path forward may just be the one that ends in death.

The kingdom Dulcia has fallen. Dark creatures have invaded the palace, inslaving all those who work there. The royal family--the only ones able to stop the creatures--have vanished into oblivion. No one has seen or heard from them since the fall. There are rumors. Rumors that they escaped the castle, rumors that they are assembling an army to fight the creatures known as Muraes. Only one thing is for certain. No one knows where they went, nor do they know if they will come back. ________________________________________ Every year, Clair's family goes to the king of Arium's palace for of the most lavish Christmas party imaginable.

Vicious Fangs (Mystic Bonds #1) | COMPLETED
❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

The Rogue Prince
Dear reader, Before you read this book there are a few things you should know. Magic is real. I know you think I am joking but that is far from the case. I want you to know that whatever happens in this book actually happened years ago. In writing this book I left clues to tomb of Albrecht Crysus IV, the King of Einvor. He is a very dangerous sorcerer and the location of his tomb can only be trusted to the smartest person who reads this book. So if you manage to solve all the puzzles and keep this secret and never visit the tomb unless it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. -AComplete
The Eighth Dawn
For a thousand years, eight divine bloodlines have ruled the world - each descended from a god, each born with a fragment of their creator's power. Light and Shadow. Fire and Water. Air and Earth. Dream and Reality. Bound together by creation - divided by pride. When the Kindgoms of Light and Shadow ignite the War of Dawns and Dusk, the world fractures in their wake. Sunfire razes coasts. Nightfall consumes cities. The other six kingdoms take sides, turning divine magic into weapons. But far beyond the stars, something older than the gods stirs. In a dying world where even the stars are fading, the last heirs must decide: will they defend the empires that raised them - or surrender their divine birthright to restore the balance that began all things?

Dark forces are arising in Faerie, a corruption threatening the very magic that balances the realms of human and fae. If Heather wants to return home she'll have to make a choice between returning to those she loves--or saving the world she always dreamed of.

Blade of Erogrund
Twenty years passed in silence since the Kingdom of Niron had stretched throughout the Far North from the Emerald Sea to the North Peaks. Armies of the remnant Kingdom ravage the woods mercilessly but the winds of change have begun to blow their cold breath through the Elderwood trees. Dunn - a village of the north - is one among many but when fire falls upon it in the night Godric finds himself thrown into a world far from that read about in books. Alone with the sole surviving companion, a girl by the name of Mira, Godric is left to discover the cold truth in the woods of Niron. Alone, that is, until taken captive by a mysterious band of travelers that promise to unearth the truth about the forgotten kingdom. Mystery burns as hotly as Dragonfire in this stirring novel of courage, intrigue, and secrecy where every page peels back the shadows to reveal a new conspiracy, sharpened blade, or coiling Dragon.
