The Giant Awakening is coming. The dwarves of the Black Axe, protectors of the frozen North, know that much. It's been fifty years since the last one, since the war that almost ripped apart Suramar and Hiramar.
Kadrir, dwarf general of renown, and his band of new recruits, will have to trek to the Mountains of Asha to begin their watch at the most dangerous place in the world. They'll cross the wastes prowled by plagues of ashikh, evade the citadels of the giant-worshippers, and battle with mutant goblins.
But when the dwarves' old allies turn against them, a new, darker plot threatens to wipe out Suramar's tentative peace. Carrying the weight of the world's destruction on his shoulders, along with the baggage of an unexpected old romance, it's a race against time for Kadrir - before the giants are freed once again.
--
Ongoing novella with regular updates. While dwarves have complicated views on gender, the main romance is between two men. Easy reading with plenty of high-fantasy, dwarf-centric worldbuilding.

The Crownless Lands
Welcome, traveler. Step into the Crownless Lands-a realm that should have been golden but never was. The maps still show grand borders; the songs still promise glory. But up close you'll find frayed banners, broken vows, and people trying to live between the teeth of history. Here, adventurers hunt fortunes that refuse to be found. Heroes rise late or fall early. Lives are traded, stolen, and sometimes-miraculously-saved. And the creatures? Some stalk the roads and terrorize the villages. Others arrive with a lesson sharp as a blade. And the kingdom's worst monsters wear crowns made of lies. --- What You're Getting Into: A weekly high/dark-fantasy pulp serial-fast, moody, full of intrigue, sorcery, and razor twists. Each episode lands a complete beat and ends on a cliffhanger. Where It All Unravels: A continent under a failing crown: forts crumble, roads go quiet, new rules harden. Towns and frontiers fend for themselves-more grit than resources. Bloodlines, Beasts & the In-Between: Shifts among humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and classic creatures-some scourge, some uneasy allies. How the Story Moves: Chapters leap across the map, braiding many plots into one struggle. Local skirmishes mirror the bigger fight for a crown no one can hold. The People Worth Bleeding For: An ensemble of adventurers, exiles, heirs, and schemers. Not every arc finds light-some rise late, fall early, or trade all for one mercy. Your Weekly Drop: New chapters every Thursday, 6-10k words. Each deepens the world, sharpens the cast, and drives the saga-great for weeklies and first-timers. Important Note: The story follows multiple destinies; chapters are non-sequential and jump between plots across the Crownless Lands.

Destined to Burn (Calthia Book 1)
"He was a Dragon King bound by vengeance. She was an Elf Princess born to heal-not to love a monster." When Sylmara, the last of the Silverleaf Elves, is captured by the ruthless Dragon King Valtherian, she expects death-not a war of wills that ignites her soul.

As an ancient darkness rises, threatening both their kingdoms, Sylmara and Valtherian must choose: surrender to the hatred between their races... or let the embers of passion forge an alliance that could save-or destroy-them all. ✨ Why You'll Love It: Enemies-to-Lovers with fiery tension and forbidden magic. "Touch Her and Die" vibes-Valtherian's possessive rage vs. Sylmara's quiet defiance. Political intrigue, dragon battles, and elf lore woven with slow-burn romance.

Stories Of Bitu. Mythralis
NSFW. As always it happened on a twosday, the skies above the south of the elf kingdom Mythralis darkened as a invasion of demons decimated the lands in one dead mother's last spite filled fuck you to an invading army taking her home for silly, hard to understand and overly dumb reasons. Trigger warnings: violence, fanticy racism, sexual acts, the use of tobaco, drugs and alcohol use, the gealic language, autistic tramra, dyslecix writing.
The Ancients
A war plagues the livable north of Mokosh. Both dwarven and human lives lost. Trying to keep the peace a prince and his bastard friend make their way into the arms of yet another enemy. Yet the terrors of the world are not done plaguing them as they are thrust into a journey they have no business being a part of. Yet somehow a bastard, a ward, and two princes find the world's fate resting directly on their shoulders. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ADDING THIS TO SPICY READ LISTS I don't care but you WILL be disappointed. The first book contains no physical intimacy and the following books will, but it will be closed door because these characters are CHILDREN when we are introduced to them and will not be reasonable adults until book three. If I was also a teenager there could be some room for negotiation but I am an adult and I, therefore, expect adults to consume my media so this is the end of discussion. Author's note: I know I know, I put an Author's note in here already saying I was going to try to maintain one chapter a month. But unfortunately, the fascism is getting to me, and I (very unfortunately) am under govt. contract, so it is taking me a while to get through these, while editing plus proof reading, and doing literally everything else. Your understanding and patience does not go unnoticed. I appreciate you all taking the time to read my book. It is still going, even if there hasn't been updates in months. This party of four have been living in my head over a decade they have to come out. TLDR Fascism is kicking my ass. No, I'm not dead. No I didn't give up on the book. Please hang around I will get to finishing it, but it's taking me some extra time.
The Demon's Deal
When a personal grudge threatens to endanger the lives of not only himself but of all the people he holds dear, Seamus the half-orc is forced to enlist the help of his friends in order to deal with the threat. Yet not all is as it seems, and the journey eventually forces him to make an impossible choice. For exactly how wise is it to put your trust in a demon's word? ---------------------------------------------- NOTE from the writer: This is the short story I wrote based on a D&D arc in the game I run as a dungeon master. I plan to release a chapter every week, sort of episodic! It is also the spark that eventually led me to publish my first novel: The Lady's Gift - Part One of the Chosen Saga. I posted this as an example of my writing style, so if you like this, be sure to check out the novel through my profile and blog link! Hope you enjoy, and any criticism or comments are very, very welcome.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
