Modern society collapses within moments of an invasion of mythical proportions. Demon clans, cultists, demon hunters, and even plain survivors form fractured factions and alliances in their desperate struggle for power. Nations cleaved asunder, families shattered, and lovers torn apart.
Damian Anderson is more than just a survivor. He is a warrior who has spent the last three years on the trail of the woman he lost. The journey has been treacherous and his battles harsh, but Damian marches on, determined to cultivate the power to defy the mightiest demons and their warlords.
The Windham Shield is a ragtag resistance group that lies on the outskirts of the cultist controlled city-state Aegis. Battered and teetering on the edge of utter defeat, the Shields are outmatched, outnumbered, and outgunned by the Barakhan cultists who wish to enforce their demonic gospel. Damian stumbles across a squad of Shields on the brink of being overrun by demons and rescues them.
Damian becomes the long-needed sword of the Shields, and gives them what they need most. A fighting chance. The Barakhan however, will permit no such heresy, and will go to any extremes necessary to crush the Shields and their new sword.

The Ghost With a Blade
Title: The Blind Death: Chronicles of the Takashi Empire In a world where gods walk among men and warriors fight for control, Mashu is a blind swordsman with a dark past, known as the "Blind Death." Once a feared assassin, his skill with a blade is unmatched, yet his heart is burdened with the weight of endless battles and the loss of his closest allies. His journey takes him through epic duels, intense training, and confrontations with gods, each more powerful than the last. As the Takashi empire crumbles, Mashu finds himself facing enemies from every corner, including Zen Takashi, a god so powerful he could destroy galaxies with a single strike. But amidst the chaos, a bond forms between Mashu and Swift, his protégé, a young warrior with an unknown past and a destiny intertwined with the gods. Together, they navigate a world filled with danger, loyalty, betrayal, and the ever-present scent of blood. On their path, they encounter new allies, such as Cola, a fierce warrior with a scar that tells the story of her past, and Koiro Sato, a friend who shares Mashu's passion for mastery. But with every battle won, the shadows of a great war loom larger, and the power of the gods grows stronger. Will Mashu and Swift find their way to victory, or will the gods' plans come to fruition, reshaping the world as they know it? The story explores themes of friendship, loss, loyalty, and destiny, all set against the backdrop of a brutal, high-stakes war for power. As Mashu trains his student, Swift, to survive and thrive in this treacherous world, both must confront their inner demons and accept the inevitable truth: only those who can endure the chaos of battle will rise to become legends.Complete

Grayson's Veil
"Ah Grayson," He drawled as he extended an arm with sharp claws to lean against the tree, "you finally stopped ignoring me. Do you know what this means?" The demon's smile only seemed to get wider, the eyes following suit. In a blink of an eye he was in front of Grayson, grabbing his throat. He brought Grayson's ear closer to its mouth, the smell of sulfur filled his nose making him cough and struggle against the demon's grip. "Your true self is finally coming alive." The demon's teeth clicked as he spoke. "This is going to be so much fun." Grayson is a troubled soldier who cannot remember anything about his past beyond the war. Eleanor is his wife who has kept her illness a secret, and will continue to until the day she dies. When Eleanor disappears, Grayson goes on a quest to find her, trying to find any kind of clue to point him in the right direction. But the deeper he dives into his search, the stranger things become. A new realm, suppressed memories, odd companions, and an old acquaintance that lives within him, all will either eat away at his sanity or have him become something darker. Something sinister. Something evil. **TRIGGER WARNING** This story will have rape, attempted rape, torture, and violence. May not be suitable for some readers.Complete![That's not me [K.
