In a world where races like elves, dwarves, and humans are constantly at odds, Ryker, a teenage boy, is caught in the middle of a dangerous pursuit. Born half-elf, half-human, Ryker's very existence is illegal, forcing him to live in hiding with his guardian, Doc, a mysterious and skilled doctor who raised him with discipline and care. On the night of Ryker's birth, a violent storm raged, and a strange face appeared in the fire, marking his life with an air of mystery and danger. Now, on his 17th birthday, Ryker's secret is discovered, and multiple races-including gods-begin hunting him for reasons he does not yet understand. Doc, always prepared for emergencies, has trained Ryker in survival tactics, teaching him to use hidden meeting points and escape routes. But for the first time, Ryker must put these plans into action on his own. As he tries to evade capture, Ryker reflects on the strained yet loving bond he shares with Doc, recalling moments of harsh lessons and tough love. Despite Doc's strictness, Ryker knows he is more than capable of handling the dangerous world around him. He must now navigate a forest filled with guards, untrustworthy villagers, and his own fears, all while unraveling the mystery of his heritage and why so many are after him. Armed with his intelligence, survival skills, and a powerful weapon said to be able to destroy gods, Ryker embarks on a journey that will challenge everything he knows about himself and the world.

...A sun paired with a returning star again as one... What if you and your soul-mate became separated? Not just in this plane, but between two planes of existence-- and he not even human! With the only hope of survival for both Rowan Crofter and the man she loved, they needed to face down a prophecy older than the dawn of our time written by a primordial elder race for its yet warring children. Rowan comes face to face with her past and finds herself enmeshed in turbulent, often mercurial emotions and deep heartache. Both are plunged into ancient magic and mayhem, multiple planes of existence, affairs of angels, past lives carried over, reality shifters, and a war that could eclipse more than the reality that we now know. All this, before the ancient prophecies clock runs out and the evil House of Lords, led by the dark one of old, the eldest of the Elderdark, Arminius Paxtornum bears down on them with the intent to annihilate all they know and love.
