Growing up from a wide and remote area in the south-east of the Kingdom, Twig - a 13-year-old boy whose primary task is to collect firewood from the forests, learned a tale about a recently found cave in the middle of the forest that is motivated to explore. Upon arriving near the entrance to the cave, he was drawn by a mysterious force and miraculously survived the incident that led him to a beautiful, perilous, and dangerous hidden world. Little did he know that this is where he'd learn magic, and as a side benefit, he will establish a pact with a supernatural companion who'd let him conquer the domain.
Shocked yet excited, little Twig returned to his normal life, where everything had changed. To his disbelief, he found that nothing in the past seemed to be the same thing as it was. People grew up in an alarming instant, and he's still a little kid. He wanted to leave and search for the rest of his immediate family, but would that be all? Will he overcome all that has been learned and realize that his universe is indeed powered by magic?

A&D Book 1: Amulets & Demons (Editing Slowly)
In our world, there are two forces. One of darkness, and one of light. The forces of darkness dwell underground, in large caverns and ravines. The inhabitants of these spaces are demons, who are born of fear and anger, and thirst for it. These nightmarish creatures have one goal: slaughter the human race, and take over the world. Enter the forces of light. To them, genocide isn't that cool. They're like, "How about you NOT do that, 'k?" These shining paladins of hope (most of them, anyway) are trained to defend the world from these monsters. The guardians of the light are trained to protect at the 'Гэрэл Чапел' (The Chapel of Light). Jace, who came to the school expecting such, has spent years (one and a half) preparing himself to fight. However, he soon learns that the fight runs much deeper, and the stakes are much higher than he thought.Complete

Scarred, secretive, and unexpectedly adopted into a ragtag family. When a prince from the Woodland Realm proposes an exchange of favors, I'm sent north to the Ice Cloud Kingdom. Just gather intel.

ISOLDE I'm a young widow whose only purpose is protecting my son from my former father-in-law. I never expected to forge an alliance with a wolf shifter or to want more from him than safety. After all I've endured, how can I feel this way for a man I barely know? Still, he's my only chance, and the longer we're together, the more I wonder if I may be his, too. EIRWYN I'm just a little boy, but I know Mama's been sad for a long time. She tries to hide it from me, but I can see it. Then we end up in Isenheim where the ice is mean and rude, and a wolf giant takes her away from me. He'll bring her back, though. Stories never end with mothers staying gone. And once he does, the three of us can figure out how to make the ice nice again.Complete

BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.Complete![[OLD] First Draft Book 1: Shadow Kingdoms | REWRITTEN AS 'THE EXILED KING'](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/161878412-256-k972877.jpg)

Shadow Archive
When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world. But every answer he finds only leads to one terrifying truth: Kael once opened the Shadow Archive... and he is the reason the world collapsed. Now the grimoires are whispering again. The Monarch is returning. And the last line of the world is already being written. To save the future, Kael must walk back into the catastrophe he created- and rewrite the story that erased him. If it doesn't erase him again first. 🔥 Perfect for fans of: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, grim magic systems, emotional duos, tragic pasts, and post-apocalyptic mystery.Complete
