"True hope is swift, and flies with swallows' wings."
-William Shakespeare
Branded a traitor and relegated to the edges of civilization after escaping execution, Iorveth is now an infamous fugitive wanted by every authority in the Northern Realms. Unswayed, the elven commander chooses once again to fight, to rebuild his Scoia'tael forces and continue to make a stand for the future of the Aen Seidhe. His is a life of blood and pain, and of nights filled with a cold, echoing loneliness.
Then one day a stranger walks into his camp, and destiny shows Iorveth that even in the dark shadow of war, light still shines from unexpected places.

Suffocation
Harry Potter regained consciousness, the morning after his uncle raped him. He woke to find small horns on his head, huge black scaled wings on his back and a long, spear-like tail. Then the letter came. And when the goblins threatened to take Kovus, his five month old son, he ran, taking Kovus and hid in an alleyway, crying. Draco woke to find white feathered wings on his back and white wolf ears and tail. And when his father learned he was a light creature hybrid, disowned him. Draco left Gringotts and found his mate hiding in an alleyway and saw him get attacked by a deatheater. He saved him and discovered Harry Potter covered in scars, bruises and burns, holding a baby boy.

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One
Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.Complete
