The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall
What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"

Legacy of Mayhem
Star-children aren't an oddity, but Ember, volatile like fire, born of death and new light, sure is-a very troublesome, talkative one, who has been kidnapped (twice) by a very miffed warrior, survivor of an apocalypse yet to come. Duly named Miff, said warrior has the mission of challenging Time itself and its rule over History. After a first merciful, failed attempt he must find another way to avoid the rise of a tyrant to lunacy. To avoid Mayhem. Two stubborn people on the run from governments and monsters, from the past that becomes the future, with the task of saving the universe twice-once each. If they don't drive each other crazy first. Focusing on the interactions between Ember and Miff and their conversations, this work's purpose is to explore how the burden of society's greed and expectations brings about the downfall of the individual and of itself.Complete
The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete
