Here lies a world of pain, a world where the potentials and shadows constantly war.
Everyone knows the shadows come from an evil king.
Everyone knows that the potentials are practically unstoppable.
What no one knows is the true evil lies in a very different origin, and when a groundbreaking reality resurfaces, who truly stands on the side of good and who on bad?
And who's to say they're truly different at all?

VOID; SHADOWS OF THE TWIN KINGDOMS
Power is the law of the Seven Kingdoms. Some are born with it. Others claw for it. But all must pay the cost. In the lands of Valtherion, Kaelwyn, Droskaal, Zurehn, Myrrvale, Os'Thera, and Varkune, kings wage wars in shadows, guilds weave schemes in silence, and creatures older than empires stir when strength is unbound. Wonders - children burdened with power too great to contain - wear limiters of rings and marks, each one a chain to keep the world safe from what they might become. Yet power does not sleep. It whispers. It hunts. And when it awakens, kingdoms tremble. In a world where strength is worshiped and feared, the true struggle is not survival... but what kind of shadow you leave behind. Seven Kingdoms. Countless secrets. One truth: power is never free. I'm the author of VOID; SHADOWS OF THE TWIN KINGDOMS and I'll be posting this on RoyaleRoad.com .

The Eighth Dawn
For a thousand years, eight divine bloodlines have ruled the world - each descended from a god, each born with a fragment of their creator's power. Light and Shadow. Fire and Water. Air and Earth. Dream and Reality. Bound together by creation - divided by pride. When the Kindgoms of Light and Shadow ignite the War of Dawns and Dusk, the world fractures in their wake. Sunfire razes coasts. Nightfall consumes cities. The other six kingdoms take sides, turning divine magic into weapons. But far beyond the stars, something older than the gods stirs. In a dying world where even the stars are fading, the last heirs must decide: will they defend the empires that raised them - or surrender their divine birthright to restore the balance that began all things?
