| Book I in the Chronicles of Arcania |
A prophecy foretells two halves of one soul, destined to rise against the King of the Seas.
Etan has always feared the sea, and he's never believed in fate. But when a siren washes ashore, everything begins to change. Drawn to her by a force he can't explain, Etan is pulled into a war far greater than his fear.
As enemies close in and the tides turn violent, Etan must learn how to navigate his fears in order to save his world before there's nothing left to save.
In 'Valiant Sailor', love and war crash like waves and only together can they survive the storm.

A Pet for the Dragons
❝Three dragons and their naughty little pet.❞ There's a rule in piracy - never fuck with the Dragons because they burn you alive. Literally. I'm not a fan of following rules, especially when the Dragons' hoarding obsession makes them the wealthiest patrons. I shouldn't be surprised when I'm kidnapped by the dragons upon failing to fulfil my end of an important deal. As if my luck couldn't be more of a bitch to me, I get kidnapped by none other than the three Dragons from one of the most powerful clans in the Arctic- Radrox, Ivret and Zorge. Now that they have me, I must pay for my failed deal in cash or kind. But that's not what they seem to be interested in, especially with the dwindling population of dragon ladies and their dangerous obsession with me. Those three dragons are definitely going to burn me but with a different kind of fire. ~ It can be read as a stand-alone book. Themes: slow burn, some BDSM, smut (loads of it), dirty talking, knotting, breeding, reverse harem, romance, kink exploration, action, world-building and a purely character-driven plot with wholesome and humorous moments :) What's not in the book? - Grape. Even though there's a power imbalance between the FL and the MLs, whatever happens between them and her involves consent. No cheating. The MLs don't do each other in this book. ~ COMPLETE NEXT BOOK - A Plaything for the Dragons PREQUEL OF THIS BOOK - Her Alpha Mates

Hyunjin, a siren born without the lethal voice of his kin, has spent his life as an outcast, caught between power and vulnerability. When fate draws them together, their voices entwine in an ancient melody, one that whispers of prophecy, sacrifice... and the possibility of something greater than either of them. Bound by a mission that could save or destroy them, Felix and Hyunjin must brave the ocean's deepest secrets-while resisting the pull of a bond neither of them can afford. Because the sea does not grant love freely. And its price may be too high to pay.
