Layne was an average citizen in Maire Village, foraging and hunting solely for food. He lived frugally and humbly, as anyone would.
While out on an expedition with his friends, he's captured by a shadowy figure and taken to a tomblike prison of nightmarish foes.
With next to no explanation of what just happened, and with no weapons to defend himself, Layne must rely on his own cunning, make connections with others trapped in the catacombs, and utilize his navigational skill to find a way out. As he does this, a forgotten past slowly reveals itself to him.
Two days before this event, he meets another hunter in the form of Ren, the runaway daughter of a famed crusader, and the escapee of a spoiled young nobleman who sought to make her his bride. Unbeknownst to Layne, Ren's past holds more than she tells him, and her powerful connections just might be the key to saving his life.
The world contradicts itself as myths, creeds, and legends prove to be unreliable interpretations of the forces both Layne and Ren encounter. Only a firsthand experience with the supernatural can tell them the truth.

Danger Mason's world is suddenly full of lies. He's pretty used to hiding, being a warlock has meant being hidden from the outside world. But now his mother is missing, and his life is uprooted to go and live with his father who he's never met. Danger doesn't know who to trust, his father's family is nice enough but his father is denying being his parent. And with clues to his mother's disappearance piling up, Danger begins to suspect that there's more to things than meets the eye. It doesn't help that his father's family is a prolific set of vampire hunters, with a tendency to sympathize with their prey. Trigger/Content Warnings: Some unsettling fantasy violence, creature violence. Intense blood and gore. Language throughout. Some mention of child abuse and eating disorders which may be upsetting to some readers. Somewhat suggestive dialogue between a married couple.

In Saving the Imperfect
A bastard, an alcoholic and a murderer - all have committed an equivalent crime. *** Layne Marks has always been a failure in the eyes of his family. The black sheep in the shadow of his more successful brother. At twenty-six, he still can't keep a stable job nor accommodation. Just another average person anywhere else in the world - but not in Eumain. In Eumain, there is no place left for imperfection. Here, a homeless person and a bank robber will both receive the same punishment - they will be declared as Rejects and taken away, never to be seen again. The citizens can only guess what will happen to them. One widespread rumour has it, that the Rejects are exiled into a remote, long-abandoned land, not fit for anything else - just like themselves. There, all the criminals of different degrees, have to depend on each other in order to survive in this harsh and dangerous place, infested with never before seen beasts. Layne Marks has always been reminded that it was only a matter of time before he would cross the line of what was seen as not perfect enough to live in Eumain.Complete

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.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
