'The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.' ~ Pliny The Elder
The kingdom of Thralmere suffers under the tyrannical rule of King Braeden and his family. His eldest son, Prince Fabron who makes sport out of hunting dragons and a skilled master of weaponry intended for mythical creatures. His daughter Princess Varian who has a taste for new lands, intnent on expanding Thralmere's borders, brutally if necessary. And his youngest child, still an infant, the Prince Yarin who is showing signs of magic ability. Ability which he probably inherited from his mother, Queen Nathalia who is so powerful she can cast curses on cities far away, bring death to an enemy she has never met, and spin spells over entire kingdoms. Why do you think her husband is still on the throne? He encompasses all these talents and more. Nobody in the kingdom questions his rule, because nobody has a problem with it or has full knowledge of his evil's existence, let alone its extent. Well, I say nobody. A small group of (mostly) people have escaped the spell, quite forcefully. Perhaps 'cast out' is a better term. And among those people, a few individuals hide. Not very successfully, as they are wanted dead or alive by the kingdom's guards. And among those criminals is one man.
Who has done nothing illegal, yet is an outlaw.
Who is never seen, but dresses as dark as a thief's pocket.
Who may just make a difference, yet doesn't intend to.

Terrasen has rarely known a moment of peace since it reclaimed its freedom. Following a brief battle with the citizens of Arcelia, a new threat has emerged. A group calling themselves the Revolutionists has formed and are vowing to destroy monarchies and topple kingdoms around the world. They have already launched numerous deadly and devastating attacks against unsuspecting settlements across Terrasen, and are becoming more ambitious with each passing day. To prepare for the coming war, the Bane has accepted many new recruits who are working hard to prepare themselves. Vaughan, the Osprey of Doranelle, has been tasked with aiding in the training of the new recruits, but it may be harder than anticipated.

Paragon - Book I
*COMPLETE* There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
Set in Stone - Haldir's Story -
"The Lord of Lorien looked at his wife - her thoughts were hidden behind her smooth, shimmering face. For once he could not guess what she was thinking. 'Galadriel - you have foreseen the brothers' death should they return to Mirkwood. But you know as well as I do that keeping them here might only extend their lifespan for perhaps a few hundreds of years, if at all. Dark times are coming, you can feel it. The chances are they will never see the Undying Lands in the West.' - The Lady of the Golden Wood looked right through him. 'One must never give up hope.'" When Haldir of Mirkwood and his brothers Rumil and Orophin are sent to deliver a message to Lothlórien, he expected to return within a mere couple of weeks' time. Yet the plans of the Lady are different and before he can turn around he is trapped in a forest completely different to the one he has grown up in. Adding to his confusion is the young elf Daera (pronounced: DaEra) who is clearly interested in Haldir yet she still has to fight her own demons. And her time to pick sides is running out... This story is set before and during the actions of The Hobbit and The War of the Rings. I might publish this story in GERMAN as well, so German readers, keep you eyes peeled!Complete![Tattered Banners - War of the Last Day #2 [EXCERPT]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/257216390-256-k929679.jpg)
Tattered Banners - War of the Last Day #2 [EXCERPT]
An EXCERPT of the story that is now published on Amazon. The fall of Paril paves the way for the Cursed Army to invade the rest of Gorania. Thousands of runaways from all six kingdoms flock north to the Frozen Forest, and humanity is put to the test as the Goranians are about to fight each other to the death for their place in Karun's Cave. Nardine and her mother believe they still have a slim fighting chance to end the Cursed invasion, but first they have to convince their restless vassals who are on the brink of mutiny, then deal with the obstinate Skandivians who regard the Bermanians as the threat. Halgrim seeks a friend's help to catch up with his family fleeing north, but the cost of that help might be heavier than he thinks. And Leila, dragged into a war she hasn't sought, makes an uncalculated move that will shift the odds, but not necessarily in the Goranians' favor. War of the Last Day enters a starker phase as more Goranian kingdoms fall, leaving the fate of mankind in the hands of clashing factions. Unless they realize that their broken sigils and tattered banners have become obsolete, nothing will stop the Cursed from annihilating every human being in Gorania.Complete
Prodigal - Book III
*COMPLETE* Allayria promised to do what it takes to stop the Jarles, to make the ugly decision. She thinks, at last, she understands what the dynast meant.
