In a world where power is built on blood, betrayal, and dark magic, the price of survival is steep. The great houses of the realm once ruled with iron fists but now, with the monarchy on its last breath, war is on the horizon. Each family seeks the throne, willing to deceive, manipulate, and spill blood to claim it. But something far worse stirs beneath their feet. A long-forgotten prophecy begins to unfold, tying the fates of these rival houses together. Ancient evils awaken in forbidden ruins, shadow demons whisper in the dark, and the dead refuse to stay buried. As supernatural horrors creep closer, noble heirs are forced into political marriages that may secure alliances or end in betrayal. Beyond the walls of wealth and power, the oppressed rise. The poor, long crushed under the heels of the nobility, are done waiting for justice. As rebellion brews in the streets and assassins strike, the realm is on the edge of chaos. Will the houses unite against the coming darkness, or will their thirst for spilling blood and power doom them all?

Gamleon's Tail ~ Welcome to the worlds of : Within ~
I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.
