In the land of Lhor, dark forces are beginning to stir. Jamie Wyndwood has lived a modest life in the little hamlet of Rivermouth, trapping and trading. However, when unexpected tragedies put the townsfolk at risk, he sets off with his best friend on a dangerous journey to the capitol to seek help. What begins as a rescue mission soon becomes a struggle to survive in which Jamie and his people must fight to find their place in an unforgiving world. Under threat of war and the resurgence an ancient, mysterious power, nobody is safe.

"The Keeping of the Light" is an epic fantasy adventure told from multiple points of view, spanning the vast and mythical realm of Lhor. This story shares the same universe as my other fantasy series (The Everwander Chronicles) but is set in a different part of the world, at a later point in time. This is a tale that I've been planning, writing, editing, and rewriting for over 10 years, and I am now very anxious to share it with the world.

He has also learned to hide his innate abilities from those who he thinks may wish to cause him harm. The journal of a man on the run from his life. The life of an adventurer with hidden powers is never easy. This is the abridged version of this story. A full version is currently being edited and is more than double the word count.

In a kingdom where legends shape beliefs and fears, an ancient prophecy whispers of the return of the Devourer, an entity capable of reducing one of the five kingdoms to ashes, spreading death and destruction across the world. Only the kingdom bearing the Morning Star could hope to appease this devastating force. This legend, long relegated to the tales of the White Temple, comes to life on a winter night when the full moon, at its zenith, illuminates the birth of a strange child. Astral, so named for his eyes that shine like stars, is found by Virion, the leader of an isolated village in the vast Nightblade Forest. Despite the villagers' distrust, who see him as a harbinger of doom, Astral is adopted by Virion, who refuses to abandon him to his fate. At the same time, in the light-drenched capital, a princess is born. Liana Heliore, named by her father, King Armand, is immediately recognized as the child of light, destined to guide the kingdom toward an era of peace and prosperity. A sacred pact is formed when a luminous raptor, transcending the boundaries of the material world, seals a mystical bond with the young princess. Thus begins the story of Astral and Liana, two children born under opposing stars, whose destinies are inextricably linked. While one bears the mark of darkness and storm, the other embodies the hope of a kingdom. Their lives, marked by mystical forces and ancient prophecies, intertwine to upend the balance of the world.

Mercy & Fire by daughteroftMH

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.
