Cairo is a desert country dominated by fire magic. The Government is considered corrupt, the people are unhappy, and a rebellion is stirring in the depths that's set on shaking the country to its core.
Living with the citizens are creatures called Kleptos--card spirits who control powerful magic. Among them is the Fire Kleptos, Aerie. Her Pyrroh is the Fire Mage, Cairo, the boy genius named after the country. Tagging along with them is their adventure-seeking friend, Cane.
Aerie can't remember her past. There's something about her that's different, and if there's one thing for sure, it's that she's no ordinary Kleptos.
Cane wants truth and justice to prevail. The first step is getting through to the Government, but it's torn apart just like the country.
Cairo is helping Aerie gain her memories. While he travels around the country in search of clues, he's thrown right into the middle of all the trouble.
But Aerie might just be the key to something much larger than anyone could have imagined. As Cairo continues to search for her memories, a past full of secrets is brought to life that might just change the course of history.

As long as the barrier held, the world was allowed to forget about the shadowbeasts of legend. Until now. Gale, a young mage-in-training aching to prove herself, is sent on a simple job to handle the purported animal attacks the desert people seem unable to fend off any longer. Believing the tales of shadowbeasts to be superstitious fancy, she expects to encounter nothing more than mirages and whispers on the wind. What she finds is hatred given form and vengeance given flesh, waiting for the moment to strike. The barrier is weakened, wavering, and an ancient enemy is gathering its strength to break free of its eternal prison. Gale must find a way to restore the barrier, or else die in a war millennia in the making.Complete
When Nina Happened
Aarav never believed a random Instagram group chat could change his life - until Nina. What began as late-night banter turned into secret conversations, stolen confessions, and a bond neither of them expected. But Nina's world isn't simple. With parents who monitor her every move, a "perfect daughter" mask she's forced to wear, and a secret rebellion of quiet sips and louder dreams, she lives two lives: one the world sees, and one she hides. Aarav becomes the only one who knows both. When fate brings them to the same college, their connection only intensifies. From whispered calls to midnight sneak-ins at his flat, from laughter in crowded classrooms to tears behind locked doors, their love becomes an intoxicating mix of chaos and comfort. They fight, they break, they heal - but above all, they choose each other, again and again. This is not just a story of love; it's a story of freedom found in another soul, of rebellion dressed as romance, of secrets heavy enough to break but beautiful enough to hold. In a world that wants them apart, Aarav and Nina learn that the most unforgettable love is the one you're willing to risk everything for.Complete

This is meant to be a bxb story and will be eventually, but it is a slow development. THIS IS A SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW BURN BL NOVELComplete
Daffodils and Hyacinths (Book 3 of the Forgotten Truths Series)
"One small incident can ruin or change a person's life - Now imagine a storm," Dusty winds spit at Sun'Tribe and her people. Cramped, multiple families are forced to huddle in one of the ruins; the only remaining proof of the original four tribes that used to stand. "Unifying us all is what should make us less insecure about ourselves, but our differences are what makes each one of us unique; special," In Sun'Tribe, everyone is the same. No traditions, no religion, no abilities, no culture, not even the way someone dresses themselves can be different. Dull, brown clothes, with hair cut down and pulled back in a simple manner. Difference is only for their Leader. The supreme ruler who never goes hungry, and lives in a large palace just for herself. It isn't until two lowly commoners take in the last of the outcasts, that their world sees a future of life again. ~*~ Written by the beas-TEAS, @EChO11111111111 (old acc: Echo__IsNoFurry) and @Ripplestream11 ; also credit to our friend who is not comfortable sharing her name (As of right now, Echo's account isn't working, AGAIN, so check both for updates) You don't have to read the other previous two books of this series to understand this book. "Forgotten Truths" is more of a backstory-based book, for the old tribes and some of the characters, which takes place a little over a decade before "Daffodils and Hyacinths", and the main details to understand this book are in "The Place where Dreams Fade," but if you're new, you should be caught up after reading 'TRIBES AND RULERS' and the Prologue. Updates might be a little irregular depending on our schedule We all hope you choose to give "Daffodils and Hyacinths" a go! NOTE: This book is not a fanfic, nor does it have any relation to "The Last Airbender" or "Legends of Korra". We definitely do see how it can be related to that, but we did not intend for that to be the outcome. Thank you!Complete

Not until she stepped into a place no human should reach - a glowing chamber of memory and fire called the Soulforge, hidden between time and afterlife. There, she meets Aarav - calm, distant, devastatingly familiar - the Soulkeeper. He's not a god, not a ghost. He's something worse: a man who remembers every soul he's ever failed to save. And when he looks at her... he sees the girl he lost lifetimes ago - the girl who begged the heavens to take her instead. The one whose love he never earned - and whose death still haunts him like flame. But Aaranya doesn't remember. Not the promises. Not the pain. Not him. Yet something inside her stirs - a thread, trembling beneath her skin. And soon, echoes from her past lives begin slipping into her world - in dreams, in symbols, in her very reflection. Now, as fate pulls them together again, Aarav must decide: Will he let her soul awaken on its own... Or break every divine law to remind her of a love that once defied even death? Because this time, the gods are watching. And not all of them want her to remember. A story of soul-deep love, forgotten lifetimes, and the divine ache of meeting someone you've loved in every world but this one.
