Cedar is dreaming. Her dreams are the same every night- she's running away from an unnamed darkness. And every night, she sees a boy. Every night, she jumps out to grasp his hand. She constantly misses, waking up in a cold sweat.
Cedar needs to figure out why she's having these dreams, and more importantly, how to get rid of them. But that boy isn't just a figment of her imagination. He was a real person, who had gone missing one year ago after claiming to have the same nightmares every night for weeks.
When Cedar finally catches his hand, she finds out that the darkness has a purpose- to take over everyone and everything it possibly can.
In this tale of three stone pillars, three worlds, and three keys, Cedar and the mysterious boy quest to stop the darkness, once and for all.
"Trust no one. Not even yourself. Because, chances are, the darkness has you, too."

Techno Knights - Corruption of Heroes
The third installment of the Techno Knight Saga. Centuries ago, Tim, a Techno Knight gifted with 'Forever Young', was summoned alongside fifty heroes from Earth to vanquish a rising demon lord. Their fight is over. But three hundred years later a new demon lord rises and fifty more heroes are summoned. But as the battle neared, Tim refused to join them, choosing instead a path of solitude, weary of war and the cycle of destruction that came with it. He thought they could handle it without him. He was wrong. The hero mages, once summoned as Earth's greatest champions, fell to temptation, power twisting them into tyrants as cruel as the enemy they were meant to destroy. Cities burned. Villages were slaughtered. And Tim, the one who might have stopped it, watched in silence, paralyzed by the weight of his own regret. Now, he has sworn to end them-to stop the heroes who betrayed their purpose, to erase the horrors they've unleashed upon the world. But everything changes when Tama, a kemonomimi survivor of their cruelty, stumbles into his life. Scarred by loss, shaped by solitude, she is living proof of the devastation Tim failed to prevent. Yet, instead of hatred, she offers him trust-a fragile bond built through shared grief, quiet understanding, and the possibility of redemption. Together, they must navigate a world ravaged by war, haunted by memories, and teetering on the edge of collapse. Can Tim truly atone for his inaction? Can Tama move past her scars? Or will the specters of vengeance consume them both before they have a chance to heal? A tale of war, redemption, and unexpected sanctuary, this story explores the blurred lines between heroism and monstrosity, solitude and found family, guilt and the hope for something more.Complete

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
