The Unknown Quest (Book One of The Horns of Elfland)
Thousands of years ago, one of Sherath's distant ancestors refused to take on a quest. The task has to be done - it's vitally important - but nobody knows exactly what it is. Their race is dying out, and time is running out; and until Sherath comes into his full powers, he can't do it anyway. They have been waiting three hundred years for the saviour spoken of in an ancient prophecy to lead them on a long journey to adulthood and open the doors for them. But their saviour, and the key to success, turns out to be a volatile teenager from modern-day Earth. Sherath has hundreds of years of education in how to use the Power he will have as an adult, with little access to it as yet. Farinka, on the other hand, has access to vast amounts of Power, but no training in how to use it, what can and can't be done, and what is dangerous to try!Complete
Who will Arise?
Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.Complete

To defeat the darkness, he must rise and become the light. *** (V1) - Participant in the 2024 Open Novella Contest | Round 1 Qualifier | Round 1 Winner | Round 2 Qualifier | Round 2 Winner | Longlister | Shortlister Featured by @Fantasy in their Epic Fantasy Reading List ✨June 2024 ✨ Featured by @ShortStory in their Novelettes Reading List ✨September 2024✨ Featured by @ShortStory in their Short Story Spotlight Reading List ✨March 2025✨ Featured by @Ambassadors in their Shorts and Poems Reading List ✨September 2025✨ Features by @Fantasy in their Mythical Creatures Reading List ✨October 2025✨ Prompt #21 - A Dragon, an Elf, and a Dwarf embark on a quest to find the lost heir to the kingdom.

Tragedy strikes in the Elves' first real contact with a servant of the Evil One as they cross the ford of the great river Afn on Mons Dei, leaving Farinka devastated; it takes many months for her to come back out of her shell.

The Western dragons take the six senior Elves south to recover Miirshekaar's Blade, but Hlammaeth will not let Nemeth keep it until after they reach adulthood; he tells Nemeth that Tarke has a decision to make first.

Destiny Reckoning
AARYAN never believed in fate. Born into hardship and shaped by struggle, he clawed his way out of the dirt only to find himself trapped in an unforgiving world where the strong prey upon the weak. To survive, he relies on sharp instincts, careful calculations, and an iron will-never blind faith. Yet, when an expedition goes awry, AARYAN is thrust into a world he never sought-a world of cultivators, ruthless ambition, and forces beyond his understanding. For the first time, true power-the kind that could rewrite his fate-is within reach. Forced into a ruthless sect where deception is survival and strength is law, AARYAN is caught in a web of scheming elders, ruthless rivals, and unseen hands shaping his fate. With only his wits, a growing mastery of cultivation, and an uncanny knack for getting into (and out of) absurd situations, he must carve his own path-one not dictated by destiny. But fate is not so easily denied. Shadows of the past stir, whispers of something greater call to him, and something far older watches from the dark. In a world where the heavens dictate the fates of all, AARYAN has only one goal: to prove that his life is his to control. Even if it means standing against the very will of the heavens themselves.
