For a millennium, the Realm of Cruor has lived in the dark, scorched lands since the Great war, in which the Taking of the Old Royals, and the Placing of the New Royals followed. The remembrance of the Dragons of House Feire that destroyed their lands, burnt their ancestors alive, and ruled over the Realm hovered among memories. For the Royals of now, it's become harder and harder for the Royals that rule over all of the Realm, the House Gueron, to conceal their secrets.
Amandla has lived all of her life, serving the Nobles, Knights, Lords, and Royals of Royal's Landing, not knowing her very own last name. Now, blamed for a crime she didn't commit, Amandla must make the hardest decision of her life; flee to another land, leave everything behind, albeit, not much, or face hanging for being falsely accused.
Corbin Water, the bastard son of Orev Heriet, commander of House and Land of the Serpent, is his House's best defender, along with his father's biggest mistake.
Shivani and Thana Revier are the twin daughters of Alaistar Revier, though they don't have much in common, they share the same mark of shame, the scorched, scaly flesh of a monster; of a dragon.
Through the lands of Realm Cruor, there is a cold as deadly as acid flame, which is rising an army of the dead, the undead, man, and mythic creatures.
For a millennium, since the time of the Great War, there has never been creatures as such, all except man, since the Feire bloodline was sentenced to death by the new Royals of House Gueron.
House Feire was wiped out, with their House symbol and creatures of myth, the Dragons, along with every other myth. None have been seen since, until now.. When small towns and lands are destroyed, pillaged, as such, the Realm begins to suspect it is the work of an unknown army.
Though, the Realm, especially the Royals of Now, don't expect what's coming.

Curse of the Stars Book 1
"You will seek death but you will not find it. You will long to lose consciousness but ever present you shall stay. Finally alone you will shrivel up and die without your own kind in all your magnificent splendor, and only after everyone you love is dead. By then, it will no longer matter, for when you finally have your light you will depart from it faster than fire from a raging wind. But perhaps you would have comfort yet little one. Death is a sweet thing in a world like this." Cursed by a Wishing Dragon when she was only a dragonet, Stygian sets off in search of a cure, leaving behind everyone she knows and loves. On her journey for help she meets more enemies than friends, with a little red fox as her only companion. At last she finds Turbulence; God of Confusion; the only one who can save her, or so he or she claims. *** Fyran, the Librarian's Apprentice is on the hunt for Leviathan; a legendary beast long foretold by prophecy, a prophecy she had disregarded as an old fable. Yet, ever since her father stumbled into their broken down house one dark night covered in blood and deliriously talking about a dragon with iron teeth, Fyran is no longer so sure. After her father dies and renders them all penniless, Fyran goes in search of this creature to take revenge-and the huge bounty on its head issued by the King of Sufta. Perhaps she will be successful and they'll no longer have to grovel as the poorest of the poor, and at the very least she'll acquire justice for the murder of her father, the only father she's ever had. But there is an old and forgotten prophecy as old as time fast approaching on the horizon. Nobody can stop it, fate is a force that can't be reckoned with, and everything that ever has and will ever happen to every citizen has already been foretold in their scrolls. The fate of Sufta is uncertain, and powerful forces are at play, but who has enough discernment to understand a long forgotten prophecy that's been dismissed by generations?Complete
Echoes Of Equilibrium: War Of The Worlds
In a world where balance is the key to survival, chaos threatens to tip the scales as a long war between humans and demons stretches on for millennia. A war fueled by ancient animosity between humans and demons. Leor, the Demon Prince and ruler of the demon realms of Valek'thar and Zaron, struggles to break free from the shadow of his father, the Primordial Demon King Aamon, as he tries to protect humans from the demons' wrath and end the war. Guided by an unyielding sense of duty, Leor forms uneasy alliances with demon hunters-Shania and Seraphina, and a god to protect humans from the wrath of demonkind, and the entire realms from the encroaching darkness of the Devourer-an primordial orb capable of consuming entire worlds with its chaos magic. Meanwhile, Seraphina and Shania, demon hunters of unparalleled skill, navigate their own moral dilemmas as they face demons that blur the line between ally and enemy. The trio's quest to end the war leads them to a demon-Azarath, Zariel's enigmatic envoy and second-in-command, who happens to be a shadow demon. As the fragile peace between realms crumbles and gods are forced to pull strings, the group uncovers an ancient, malevolent force pulling the strings behind the chaos-a dark god who broke the laws of existence itself. The heroes traverse breathtaking and treacherous realms. They face impossible odds, including obsidian-skinned creatures with glowing violet eyes, demons and also ancient entities. Each step unravels secrets about the true nature of balance and the sacrifices required to preserve it. Amidst determination, love, and the unrelenting march of war, Leor, Seraphina, Azarath, and Shania must decide whether they are willing to fight to protect the very foundations of existence-or succumb to the chaos that seeks to consume them all in the strength of their unlikely alliance and the eternal struggle to maintain balance in a fractured cosmos.

Rune and Ruin
To bait a falcon, a very small bird is fitted with ball weights attached to a string held by the falconer. When the raptor attacks, the rolling dive will tangle around the legs of both birds, thus ensuring the falcon cannot fly away. Further training involves both the string and treats, often meat from the same small birds, encouraging the predator to return to its handler. Centuries of war between the gods have caused an imbalance in the mortal world. Stark lines of division have resulted in three species, all vying for survival against an increasingly harsh world; The Tasuri, demon-shifters with noble houses stretching back before the founding of cities, shapeshifters in their clans and dens, and the Acera, those without fang, claw, wing, or hoof. The Tasuri city of Rune has never been more powerful, or more desperate. A plague has hit, a disease of infertility that is decimating the population of the purebloods and shifters. The Tasuri and shapeshifters turn their attention to the small, remote villages and towns of the Acera. Defenseless, there is nothing to stop the two powerful groups from enslaving the Acera and destroying the balance of their world beyond recognition. The ruin of the Acera is underway when the Tasuri House of Fyriin births a Warlord. The young warrior, Falx, takes his army of demons into the hills. There, he is gifted a young Acera slave as tribute. Thania has every reason to hate him, but she bears more weight on her slight shoulders than Falx could possibly know. What happens to the world when you take the bird away from her falcon? Warning: This is a historical fantasy, paranormal romance. It will have explicit scenes, including scenes of nonconsent. This world is brutal and harsh. Please take care before reading!

Forgotten

Blood Oaths and Dying Monarchy
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?
Mercy & Fire
Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language. Look for (!) as warnings. * Also available on Neobook @gnbrave. *
