TEACHER and HUNTER
Terjal Rakmir, Headmaster of Cloudreach, is content to spend his days schooling pupils in the Conjurer’s art. However, when a direspawn (a creature brought over from another plane) wreaks havoc, gruesome death and destruction upon the lands, Terjal is immediately pressed into service by Cloudreach’s patron, Lord Vaukmond, Duke of Windemere and Protector of the Realm of Ryndorhn. Lord Vaukmond, the Warrior Duke, distrusts magic yet has no conventional means of destroying the direspawn.
With his former pupil, Aiya Lindsmund (now Adjutant to Lord Vaukmond), and his three Blades, Terjal sets out on a journey which begins at Quitonne, Ryndorhn's center of power and corruption, to a climactic battle in a deadly swamp guarded by creatures of nightmare.
At Quitonne, they find allies and adversaries. Ally: a disgraced aquamancer who restores his honor by healing the wounded. Adversary: an enigmatic necromancer whose name inspires fear and who controls a legion of undead servants.
At the end of their sojourn, Terjal and Aiya will uncover more than just the identity of the direspawn’s creator. Before the quest is ended, Terjal and Aiya will face forces greater than they could ever have imagined: forces fueled by a bitter, exiled sorcerer and his vengeful protégé.

A Mage's Wrath
Two hundred years of peace have passed in Zertima, a land filled with magic, creatures, and mages. However, after those two hundred years comes an era of fear, fighting, and death. The Venom's Curse, known as the world's greatest danger, has climbed up to reach a level of great power, with the help of his fierce hunger for battle and commanding, that is strong enough to possibly secure his rule of the entire mage world. In order to save Zertima from potential collapse and eternal perishing, four young mages are found, called the Elemental Mages. The Mages - Water, Earth, Fire, and Air - are taken to a sheltered location named the Mage Sanctuary to train together and prepare for their eventual battle with the Venom's Curse and to rid of the trepidation he has cast across all of Zertima. However, not all of the Mages are willing to commit their life to train with the others and help save the mage world. Ignacia, the Elemental Mage of Fire, is the newest and last mage to be Founded and come to the others. Along with easily getting into arguments with Water Mage Salil, she is in an internal battle with herself trying to decide what choice she should really choose to carry through with. *Book originally inspired by "The Burning Sky" by Sherry Thomas.

HP: Dragonborn comes [English version]
After shouldering the fate of Skyrim during his adolescence, defeating dragons, gods, and demons, the most powerful Dragonborn now faces an even greater threat. His soul, woven with those of hundreds of dragons, has become a coveted prize for divine and dark entities alike. In an unexpected twist, Akatosh, the dragon god of time, intervenes, sending the young hero-barely 17 years old-to a completely different world: Hogwarts. But the magic of this universe is unprepared for the primal and ancient force of the Thu'um, nor for a battle-hardened warrior with a past forged in the icy fields of the north. Constantly clashing with Albus Dumbledore, a manipulative figure with his own interests, the Dragonborn is forced to accept the role of a professor at Hogwarts-a strategy to keep him under close watch. However, his firm character, dark past, and immense power soon disrupt the comfort of the magical world. With hidden enemies, whispering souls within, and an unbreakable connection to Skyrim, will this northern warrior find purpose in a world he doesn't understand? Or will his arrival at Hogwarts unleash chaos that even magic cannot contain? --- Disclaimer: This is a fan fiction work created as a tribute to the sagas of The Elder Scrolls and Harry Potter.

Shadows In The Dungeon: Harry Potter
During Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, as whispers of Voldemort's return grow louder and Dumbledore begins to unravel the secrets of the Dark Lord's past, a new student arrives under a cloud of mystery. Eirdis Lunette-expelled from Durmstrang for dangerous spellwork and a disregard for rules-is sorted into Slytherin, where she quickly becomes a curiosity, a threat, and an enigma to the student body. Fiercely independent, Eirdis doesn't care for house rivalries or bloodlines, and her unexpected friendship with Harry, Hermione, and Ron raises eyebrows and tensions alike-especially with Draco Malfoy, whose contempt for her is matched only by a volatile, magnetic tension neither of them can explain. As danger mounts inside and outside the castle, Eirdis is forced to confront the past she left behind, the secrets she's hiding, and the darkness that Hogwarts itself is beginning to awaken. In a school divided by fear, one girl may tip the scales between loyalty and betrayal, light and shadow. Magic is power-but trust is everything.

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.
