Medieval Scotland (Pictland) 650 AD

Several tragic deaths... a misunderstanding, and an escape 
from certain death.
After his father's violent death, Kieran and his mother escape 
to neutral lands. On the cusp of adulthood, the past catches 
up with him and takes everything he had... well almost. 
As he struggles with his demons, both real and imaginary, 
he finds love and support in unexpected corners. Read on to 
learn more of how an entire nation crumbled... all because of a 
terrible misunderstanding between two clans that had become 
so much more. The terrible wars fought on both sides, the 
ever-growing grudges, the spreading darkness, the lives lost 
and blood split. And somewhere in the midst of that darkness, 
a spring brought on by new love and hope for a new reign.All Rights Reserved

Protector (Violent Delights 16) by kullman

The throne of England is in jeopardy. King Henry Vi is in a coma, with a 5 month old crown prince and a young wife left in power. The nobles of england will hardly allow the young queen to rule in her son and husband's stead, leaving King Henry's younger brother caught in an impossible position. Jasper Tudor will go on to win the War of the Roses and go down in history as an adventurer and military leader. Right now he's an eighteen year old boy with a sister in law to look out for and a nation on the brink of civil war. And a father who worries a bit too much about him. That too. Trigger/Content Warning: alcohol consumption. Some crude humor. Some suggestive scenes. Extended dialogue regarding sex. Childbirth/pregnancy loss discussed. Family issues. Some mature themes.

Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!

Days of the Dead Book 2: The Beggar's Tomb by kullman

Gideon Saint and Wales have had a year of peace since Kit Wren was condemned to the Beggar's Tomb. As for Kit? He's been falling for 300 years, and is about to be tasked with a new and dangerous quest in hope of salvation. An unexpected funeral is about to bring the English and Welsh royal families together in the wake of tragedy, otherwise known as the perfect moment for Kit to strike again. Gideon has the fight of his life ahead of him if he's to keep the peace and save his friends. In the end, he knows the answer to the mystery of Kit's power lies in the mysterious Beggar's Tomb. Dead people live. Living people die. Swords are described in loving detail, people are not. As always Henry V is here and he is fantastic despite being the primary antagonist. Magic, betrayal, murder attempts, dragons. It's situation normal in 1439. As always, this is historical revisionist fiction. It is book 2 in the 'Days of the Dead' Trilogy. Trigger/Content Warning: some profanity throughout. Mild innuendos. A main character's death is discussed at length. Troubled childhood/abuse is discussed. A character with autism is tortured by memories of being put in restraints. The final chapter contains extremely graphic violence and disturbing imagery that may be upsetting to some readers.

The Toils (Book One) by Elkeene

In the future, there is no medicine that can save you. The government is gone. The days are hot, and the dangers many. Welcome to the continent of Aotearoa. The country of Gossfordshire is in crisis - the King is dead, his children are being murdered, and trade with their neighboring country Motueka has dried up leaving Gossfordshire on the brink of starvation. Ritty, the King's son, seeks to restore the peace and bring Gossfordshire back to its glory days, but his efforts are increasingly hampered by Randall, the head councilman-come-dictator, who sets out to bring the kingdom under his control. Also stifling Rittys goals of normalcy is Magnus, aided by councilwoman Thatcher, who sees a much more egalitarian vision for the future of Gossfordshire. Between Randall's aim of national domination, Rittys want for normality, Thatcher and Magnus's revolution, and a mass migration crisis moving upwards from the Southern States, only one thing can be certain; Gossfordshire is entirely unprepared for what is coming. Content Warnings; - Coarse language - Light cannabis usage - Repeated acts of abduction in the context of war - Moderate graphic descriptions of physical violence toward people - Infrequent descriptions of violence toward animals & animal death - Infrequent descriptions of suicidal ideation, suicide attempts - Infrequent descriptions of ideas toward self-harm - Moderate descriptions of death in the context of warfare, murder and natural causes. This book is a free version riddled with typos, spelling errors, and poor formatting. An edited version will be arriving soon for purchase, with these errors fixed and the formatting improved. This blurb will be updated when that version has been released, so check back over the coming months.

Chronicles of Elysian: Legends Untold by paxxer71171

You Don't Want the Crown by kullman

Betrayal. Revenge. Murder. True Love. Knights. Princesses. Druids. Pirates. Madness. Gays. Magic. Intrigue. What more could you want from this darkly funny take on faerie tales? The old king is murdered. The crown prince is missing. Who in this diverse cast of characters is to blame? Is it the king's reluctant but dutiful wife? Is it the spiteful old queen? Is it the king's illegitimate son? What about the king's suspiciously loyal man-at-arms? Read and find out. Plenty of swashbuckling, magic, sarcasm, and plot twists await in the mythical land of Ulster. Trigger/Content warning: Violence, but primarily fantasy violence. Profanity throughout. Some brief crude humor. Some conversations and circumstances may be emotionally upsetting, primarily to do with parental abuse, as well as dysphoria. A character is stated to be suicidal, suicide is discussed. A character describes post-partum depression.

The Trials of Gideon Book 2: Steal the Dark by kullman

Gideon's got a riddle, a cursed tomb, and a new mess of problems. He finds himself in the middle of France, with an old enemy and a new foe. He's in a dead zone with no magic, no idea how he got here, and no plan. It's 1445, everyone's got a secret, and an old grudge is about to turn deadly for the people of Wales and England alike. Sequel Series to Last Knights of Cambria series, and the Days of the Dead trilogy, ergo it contains spoilers for those. Similar narrative style and tone, that is if you want English history explained like Lemony Snicket, then this is for you. Ahem. Living people die, dead people live. Swords. Epic Battles. Mysterious riddles. Coded messages. True love. Traitors. Murder. Found families. Yes, Henry V is here and he is awesome. Did we mention swords? Battles are described in loving detail. People are not. Yes you may learn something about the Siege of Meaux, but that's a risk you're going to have to take. Content Warning: some violence, peril, and some strong language. Death issues discussed. A character may be seen as suicidal. A character experiences issues relating to an abusive parent. Some family trauma. Some dark humor.
