Resting in a guarded fort, cloaked in centuries of black rumours and a bloody reputation, the Book waxes useless. Until the day a fledgling dictator steals it and begins using it to take over the world. The King of Ohadi sends his most trusted soldier, Captain Merric Greldor, to retrieve the book and end the threat once and for all. Merric journeys with an unlikely ally: a murderous thief named Kallista with a forgotten power. Together they must battle across a broken empire, fight fearsome beasts, help rally the oppressed and ultimately face off in a battle of the ages.
All while dealing with the spark of attraction that fuels the fire between them.

The Crown of Ash
Kaelen never imagined that a single artifact could change the fate of the world. When he discovers the Ember Crown, a powerful relic of fire and temptation, he is thrust into a battle not just for survival, but for his very soul. The crown grants unimaginable power-but every burst of flame comes with a cost. Its whispers tempt him toward domination, its energy tests his restraint, and its hunger threatens to consume everything he holds dear. Joined by a band of warriors, mages, and scouts-including the fierce Lira, the wise Fenric, the radiant healer Mira, and the cunning twins, Ryn and Elara-Kaelen must face Smoke, a shadowy enemy determined to seize the crown for his own dark ambitions, and the Black Hunter, a relentless predator stalking the battlefield. From the scorched plains to the heart of enemy fortresses, Kaelen's journey is one of fire, strategy, and moral choices. Every battle, every short breath, every flicker of flame tests his mastery, courage, and resolve. Will he succumb to the crown's seductive power-or rise above it to protect those he loves? In a world where fire can destroy or illuminate, the choice is his. The crown is his. And the ashes will tell his story. My first book (The Shadows Follow Me) will continue, as I have just been working on a Fantasy book.Complete

Opposite him stands Lord Aric of the South, a man whose cunning is matched only by his blade, burdened with the shadows of his father's sins. Once sworn brothers, now bitter rivals, they meet beneath storm-filled skies-lightning crackling like the gods themselves are watching. The rain washes over their armor, but not their hatred. Each believes his cause to be just. Each is certain the other must fall. Yet, as thunder roars above, both men sense a greater force stirring in the storm-an ancient power long forgotten, waiting to be unleashed. Their clash will not only decide the fate of kingdoms, but awaken a darkness that neither sword nor crown can control. Because sometimes, the fiercest battles are not against each other... but against the storm withinComplete
