In the sprawling forests of the Dawnwood, the life of Valmyr's people has changed. Endless winters and brutal blizzards force them into deep burrows while, outside, the old kin haunt the long nights. His only chance of saving his young sister is to flee into the unknown east...
Meanwhile, at the foot of the northern mountains, a mysterious prophet is building the first city of Men. Beneath the walls of An Cylas, Aevi must try to forget her past and become a leader, but just as a new warlord rises in the south, she discovers that their prophet is not who he seems to be.
Shadow of Dawn is the first book of the Godmakers Saga, a continuing series set in the same world and featuring some of the same faces. Each book, however, can be read as a stand-alone and in any order.

Dawn of Edä
"Behold thy destiny. For thou and thy seed shall be masters of this realm..." The eternal realms of Vê, Meä, and Edä rise and fall; where creation is born, pride soon follows. Dragons, forged from fire and spirit, rose against their Maker. Giants bent mountains to their will. And man, frail yet cunning, reached to seize the knowledge of the gods. Thus began the long descent- the fall of worlds and the sundering of grace. Amid the ruin stands Aeon, the last king of Vê, a boy crowned before his time and burdened with a wisdom too great for flesh. By his side walks Kethu, a warrior's son born of sorrow, bound by loyalty, and undone by revenge. Their friendship, forged in innocence and broken by betrayal, will ignite the final reckoning of Vê and the dawn of Edä. From the awakening of the serpent Ogrennon to the purgation of all life in divine fire, Dawn of Edä weaves the myths of creation, rebellion, and redemption into one eternal song- the testament of The One. Written in a voice echoing the lost scriptures of forgotten ages, Dawn of Edä is a visionary epic, a tale of light and shadow, of serpents and men, and of the mercy that endures when all worlds have fallen.Complete

RED
Alec Lightwood had a successful life. He worked damn hard for it. But at the same time he was lonely. Experienced yet inexperienced. He craved love and knew he would never have it. He craved real feelings, to be loved for who he was, to be loved in a way that would satisfy him, but he knew that was an unreachable dream for him. So he buried his true self deep inside himself. So deeply that he slowly began to believe that his own false reality was real. And it worked for 28 years. Until he saw Magnus Bane in a red light window on the streets of Amsterdam. ➡️ NOTES: I was in Amsterdam a week ago. I went to the red light district. The place has such an aura that of course my Malec writing brain cells almost exploded. I started writing this the same day, during my vacation. I was going to write a oneshot...but by the end (as usual) I couldn't stop. It will be 3-5 chapters, but this time they will be shorter than usual - about 1K word / chapters. ⚠️ Warning 🔞 The story is ONLY for ages 18 +. This is adult content. I can't deny it, the atmosphere of the place turned me on...and it turned Alec on... also Magnus, of course... **** English is not my first language. Please don't compare the characters with the characters in Cassandra Claire's books. In my story you will only find references to the TV series. (I don't own any of the characters. All belong to Cassandra Claire. The story is my own. You'll find a few references to the TV series. I only use the names to make it easier to relate to the story)Complete

A land torn by gods, ruled by monsters... and on the brink of war once more. A hundred years ago, two demi-gods clashed in a battle so fierce it shattered the continent.

Now, in the Age of Ruin, queens, kings, beasts, and warlords fight for survival and dominion.

GRAYWORLD - The Lost Grayling (Book 1)
Gray isn't a color. It's a thief. It steals memories, leaches vibrancy, and muffles screams in the chilling reality known as GrayWorld. For fifteen-year-old Kai, grieving his mother, arrival isn't a choice - it's an abduction into a place where time corrodes the self. Here, newcomers, Graylings, find their identities fading like breath on a cold mirror, their bodies subject to arbitrary, horrifying transformations: shrink into nothingness or expand until you burst. Forget the sun. Forget warmth. Forget who you are. The metallic taste of the lavish food only accelerates the Fade. Asking questions invites punishment. Survival means clinging to fragile anchors - a stopped pocket watch, a fraying photograph - while navigating a landscape of endless gray corridors, lurking Drifters who hunger for warmth, and warring Copies split into hunted Blacks and ruling Whites. When Kai witnesses the chilling "mercy" of the Butcher, a White copy who harvests souls, he's pulled into the shadows by Silas, a haunted Black copy bearing the weight of sacrifice. Finding refuge in a derelict farm hiding an impossible secret - a subterranean garden pulsing with ghostly light - Kai must ally with the cynical, scarred survivor Jax to unravel the secrets of GrayWorld's brutal Karma system and the nature of the unseen Arbiter who rules from his Tower of Bone. But in a world designed to erase you, can Kai hold onto his memories, his identity, his very soul? Can he trust his allies when survival demands impossible choices? And what happens when the deepest corruption isn't just in the ruling powers, but potentially within the very fabric of reality... and himself? Dive into the first volume of an epic dark fantasy series that blends psychological horror with intricate world-building. "GRAYWORLD" is a visceral, mind-altering journey into a reality where memory is currency, identity is fragile, and survival demands a confrontation with the shadows within and without.Complete

After the destruction of the obelisk and the hard-won victory over the Shadowborn, Aeryn Emberborn and her allies return to the Drakyn stronghold, battered but resolute.

To survive, Aeryn and the Drakyn must not only rely on their fire but also uncover ancient truths buried within their history.
