After Death, Before the Fall is the first book of a planned trilogy.
What happens when someone with extraordinary power tries his entire life to better the lives of humanity, but that person keeps making the wrong decisions? How does that person, or the people affected by his decisions, recover from something a being with power beyond comprehension could do?
Panik Cinestar is the Prince of the continent of Borivye's most powerful Kingdom. He was born with abilities that were unheard of in a human before and, because he's so afraid of what would happen if people found out about his powers, he has to do everything he can to hide them. Growing older, in line for the throne, he finds himself in many situations that leave him with options nobody would want to pick from. Events that could potentially reveal his uniqueness to the world.
How does someone so kind hearted, so pure, so sympathetic, send an entire city to ruin and take many innocent lives? Three soldiers from across the ocean would like to find the answers from Panik himself.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
A Knight's Journey: The rise of a Modern World's cultivator
Author: This story has romance and cultivation elements, though the most important part of it is its characters. I strive to portray their doubts, worries and disappointments, along with their hopes, happiness and pride, as well as I can. Characters will learn, grow and bravely transcend their fears, all in the hope of being able to live freely alongside their loved ones. This is what I enjoy writing and I hope you will also enjoy reading it. Synopsis: What happens after you die? This was a question that baffled many, with two mainstream thoughts battling each other: Religion with its Manichean division of Heaven and Hell and Science with its nihilistic approach of returning to the Universe as cosmic dust. Turned out Damian Knight, now Demian Mikhailov, discovered that none of those theories were actually true when his previous life's memories awakened after being knocked out by a gangster's heavy punch to the head. Now 18 years old with a deficient body, he will have to find a way to navigate this World's deep waters, where Fighters with transcendent Physical Attributes were merely at the bottom of the power scale. From Intrinsic Superhumans to Elemental Cultivators, a single misstep and death could snatch him again, with everything he built in this new life disappearing as if a mere illusion. Fortunately, his Reincarnation came with three incredible gifts: an Equalized Adaptive Physiology Perk, a Soul Bond Perk, and a Soul Shield Perk. Armed with those three Perks, the young man will grow his personal strength to protect not only himself but also his Aunt, Adeliya, and his two older cousins, Brynhild and Seraphine from this World's hidden forces, and with some luck it may even help him deal with those new and growing feelings birthed from the collision of his two lives. 'Choices have consequences'. A story of tangled Reincarnations, Forbidden Love, and Cultivation to Immortality. Check my Patreon. Let's enjoy this adventure together. Calm Wanderer
Reaping The Red Heir
He smiled. The devil himself couldn't have crafted a more wicked grin. "What do you say we play a game, little Reaper?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his intentions. "What kind of game?" His grin widened, showing the tips of his fangs. I watched the prince curiously as he strode over to his bag. With a swift motion, he withdrew a bow and a quiver of arrows, flinging them at my feet without so much as a second glance. I furrowed my eyebrows, casting him a look of uncertainty. That sinister grin stayed plastered upon his lips as he said, "Run." *** I, Skyla Ashforth, am what some might call a "sociopath." It was a title that fit. Why shouldn't I embrace it? I am a vampire slayer, a Reaper of bloodsuckers, and an exceptionally good one, if I do say so myself. Yes, being a sociopath has its perks; I could manipulate and deceive with the best of them. So, when captured by the notorious Red Prince, I embraced the challenge of manipulating my freedom. Pierce Darcee, was a sadistic vampire with a God complex. The fool actually believed he could break me. Little did he know, I was the kind of Reaper who would dance through a battlefield, whistling a merry tune as I twirled my braids. I relished the challenge of manipulating his oversized ego, planning to stab that rotting, blackened heart of his with a venom-laced dagger. I crafted a scheme so delightful, so intricate, that I couldn't help but salivate at the prospect of victory. It was foolproof, or so my mind believed. But then... then there was that pull. That unexpected, unwelcome spark that ignited something within me. Feelings, of all things! Now, that was a complication. Disgusting, messy feelings that could very well lead to my destruction. Or his. It was a dangerous game we played, but then again, the most thrilling ones usually are. *Rated M for Murder, Mayhem, and some profanity. Sorry but no smutty interludes. You've stumbled into a blood bath, not a bodice ripper.*Complete
