Book #2 of the Shinagowa Series
The land of Shinagowa, once a realm of balance and harmony, now teeters on the brink of chaos. The arrival of the "Savage Three"-mysterious figures wielding powers unlike anything the world has ever seen-has shattered the fragile peace. Their purpose is clear: to hunt and destroy Ciam Hikorashi, the last hope of a crumbling order.
Ciam, a reluctant hero burdened by the weight of his destiny, must rally allies both old and new to face this unprecedented threat. As the Savage Three unleash devastation across Shinagowa, their true motives remain shrouded in shadow. Are they mere mercenaries, or do they serve a darker, more ancient force?
Amidst the turmoil, new heroes rise from the ashes of despair. A rogue warrior with a haunted past, a scholar wielding forbidden knowledge, and a prodigy with a connection to the land itself join Ciam in his desperate struggle. Together, they must uncover the secrets of the Savage Three's power and unite the fractured factions of Shinagowa before the land is consumed by darkness.
But as the battle rages, Ciam begins to question everything he thought he knew about his world-and his own role in its salvation. The line between hero and villain blurs, and the cost of victory may be higher than anyone is willing to pay.
In this gripping second installment of the Shinagowa series, alliances will be tested, secrets will be revealed, and the fate of a world will hang in the balance. Can Ciam and his newfound allies restore peace to Shinagowa, or will the Savage Three's reign of terror plunge the land into eternal ruin?

The Age of Solace: The Silver Wolf
Volume 1 of the "Age of Solace" series. (Part 1 of 4). A serious dark-fantasy story. Descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes (Rated M, no lemons present). Peace. Conflict. War. Bloodshed. This is the way of things, and this is what happened between the dragons and mankind. Once they were allies. Man was ever growing and learning, while dragons were their guardians, watching over them. But mankind was greedy, and from that greed bred betrayal towards their great allies. In times long ago, dragon and man worked together to rid their realms of the demonic presence that once invaded their lands. Together, they defeated that enemy. But now, dragons are near extinct and the demonic menace has returned. There are humans that possess abilities that allow them to fight back, but it is not enough. Such humans have banded together, in a group called Corvin's blades. They hope to be able to defeat their enemy without the aid of dragons this time... but there is more to all of this than anyone understands. This story follows multiple youthful characters as they not only aid in the fight against the demonic threat, but learn and grow as they discover more about the lands they live in and of themselves. Views on dragons are changing, demons and spirits are invading, and two individuals are in the center of everything that is happening. Was it fate and destiny... or choice and coincidence? *Rated M for descriptive violence and gore, as well as dark themes* * Chapters to be updated* *Cover art was made by myself.

*** Sequel to Watty's winner 2018 *** Best read after Vol. I "Killing is the draught that must needs be drunk. Guilt is but the coin we use to pay for it." Moons have passed and wounds have healed, but the memories of Hammar are as lucid for Bard as the future is bleak. Once more the Gallowmen must venture forth armed with their wits, their weapons and their will, united in the knowledge that only through death can they purchase life. Their relationship with the Burned Priests straddles the edge of a wicked knife, and though their list may grow shorter, patience is a commodity that has run its course. Now the Gallowmen must travel as far east as one can go, to a corner of the map thats notoriety lies in it being perilously unforgiving to those who know it not. Here, death stalks the jungles, creatures of the dark hold dominion, and life is a luxury pledged only to the strong. At the edge of the world, Bard and his rogues must navigate more than mere men to get what they need. Their life is their list ... if they can survive long enough to see it through. *Deathsworn Vol II is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing for publication. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.Complete
