A dragonhunter with a dangerous secret.
Frode has dragon magic... and if anyone finds out he will be executed.
A dragon with no home.
After a horrific accident, Sage is blinded and left for dead.
A war with no end.
Dragons and humans have been at war for decades, and with a traitor in the dragon's midst, it is up to Avrae to save them all... at a terrible price.
-------------------------------------------
Sneak peek:
"The Cletin is only accepting thirty new candidates this term, and only twelve will become full fledged members. I'm sure you're smart enough to know what that means," Grywell grumbled. Avrae took in a deep breath.
"I know."
"You may have to reveal yourself sooner than you'd like."
"I have no intention of doing that. But you should know that by now."
"When do you intend on telling Flare? Or the queen for that matter? What you are doing can be considered treason if you're not careful."
"I know. You are my teacher after all."
"I am no longer your teacher, for I cannot teach you anything that you don't already know or can learn from the Cletin themselves."
Avrae stomped her hind foot, frowning. There was no way that she would reveal her deepest, most terrifying secret she kept to any other living soul. Only Grywell knew her secret, and she intended to keep it that way for the time being. No matter how much she refused to accept the truth, she knew Grywell was right.
Sooner or later, her secret would be revealed to the entire colony. The question was though, how would the other dragons react to it?

The Book of Trials || ONC 2019
When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too. When a devilishly handsome traveler offers to take her to the City of Magic to break the curse, Veia finds herself hopelessly entangled in a danger more powerful than she could ever know. +++ ~ Featured Wattpad Picks: Hidden Gem (May 2020) ~ @StoriesUndiscovered Diamond list (2019) ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, Coral Awards 2021 ~ 2nd place in action/adventure, The Pantheon Awards 2020 ~ 3rd place in adventure, The Blue Rose Awards, August 2019 ~ Written for the Open Novella Contest 2019, gen fic open prompt (since expanded; 45k word count) ~ Also available on Inkitt, Prose, Sweek, and Quotev (but Wattpad has the best version) ;) Beautiful cover by @TheFashionPixieComplete
Heirs To the Flame
Ten years ago, the Phoenix chose its heir. Then it watched her family burn. Emberin has spent a decade hiding in Korr's slums, protecting her younger brother and the orphans who follow her. The world believes the Aetheris bloodline died in flames .... until divine fire erupts across three empires, calling to twelve surviving heirs. Her siblings think themselves the only survivors. They've spent ten years building power, nursing grudges, and preparing for a throne that can only seat one. But someone orchestrated their family's massacre, and that traitor is still pulling strings. Now Emberin must choose: remain a ghost and watch her makeshift family die, or step into the light and discover which of her blood siblings wants her dead. Because in House Aetheris, the most dangerous enemies wear familiar faces. *This is a temporary cover*
Whispers of the Damned: The Eternal Crossroads
Currently trending in HAUNTED PAST (#66) and MORALLY GREY (#583), this isn't a love story. It's a game darker than love. They say fate can't be escaped. But what if loving him is the thing that destroys her? Althea's life was never meant to be normal. Haunted by nightmares she can't explain and a past wrapped in silence, she's only ever known how to survive. Love? Trust? They're luxuries she can't afford. Until Calix-dangerous, unreadable, and hiding secrets behind every smile-enters her world. He was never meant to stay. She was never meant to matter. But now, their fates are entangled-and something far darker is watching. As buried memories surface and the truth about her parents' death unravels, Althea finds herself caught between love and destiny, betrayal and survival. Calix may be her only hope... or the reason she falls. In a world where souls are cursed and fate is written in blood, love isn't salvation-it's the beginning of the end.
Untold
'They pulled the chair across from me out and sat in it. The tavern carried on when the figure made themselves comfortable. My grip tightened on the hilt of the dagger. They pulled the hood of their cloak off and unclasped it. Their movements were relaxed and unhurried. I ran my eyes over him. He had strange black, swirling tattoos on his neck and long, pointed ears. His clothes were plain. I crossed my arms and sat back in my seat, keeping my eyes on his piercing midnight blue ones. He cocked an eyebrow. "Well?" I narrowed my eyes. "Well, what?" "What's your business here?" "I should be asking you that, considering you silenced a room by being in it." "Fair enough." He paused as the bartender brought another tankard over. "I'm looking for a travel companion." His voice was as deep as the shadows surrounding us. "You're an elf... Don't they prefer to travel on their own?" "Fae," he corrected as he pulled a pipe out of thin air. A black wisp of smoke surrounded his hand as he did so. "But yes, we do. I, however, have had enough of my thoughts being my only company." I nodded. "So?" He raised his eyebrows. I shook my head sadly. "This is something I need to do. Alone." "Alright." He looked a bit disappointed, which was odd, considering we had just met. ' What happens when you're going to kill the Unnamed One and meet a mysterious fae on your journey? Do you trust him, or leave him? And what do you do when you find out what he's been hiding? Iowyn Aedithas is on a quest to save her guild. A quest that could potentially be lethal for her. She's an awfully brave (some would say naive) human to be doing this. Demons have been attacking her guild, and she's had enough. She meets Evaris, the mysterious fae, on her journey and he becomes her travel companion. When they reach their destination, he reveals information that's previously been held close.Complete

An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.
