As She Sank, He Rose with Her Heart.

My dearest Aurelia
They called you a witch. They made you disappear. But your story didn't vanish with the smoke. I never knew you. And yet, I carry your name on my tongue like a secret I was never meant to speak. The lies they told still echo in our forest, in the halls of the castle, in the eyes of those who fear the truth. But I will find it. Piece by piece. Even if it means losing myself along the way. Because if the world dared to silence you, then it's my voice they'll hear next.
The North Sea Beast
"I'll tell you something about myself- I never mince words. Nature is a beast, Henry. We were not created to live in peace within it. Be grateful for those who let you down; pain is the only truth that endures." The sea wind howls a bitter truth across the North Sea coast: betrayal, not love, is the world's only constant. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but a brutal exploration of the human soul-a mirror reflecting the savage beauty and terrifying depths we all possess. The guilt-ridden, the desperate, and the cunning are all players in a high-stakes legacy that demands a price from every generation. Beneath the veneer of civilized society, a clandestine order pulls the strings, their influence woven into the very fabric of existence. Secrets fester within an ancient bloodline, grasping like tendrils into the present day. Honour clashes with avarice. Integrity squares off against ruthless force. Cunning faces brutality. Who will rise, and who will be consumed by the abyss? Rumors whisper of a slumbering entity, a primal force stirring beneath the surface. Will it awaken and claim its due, or will it remain dormant, a threat forever lurking in the shadows? Prepare to be swept away in an epic saga where the fate of many hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the beast is far more complex than it seems. --- Content Warning: Features an unapologetically cynical and eccentric voice, including scenes of violence, offensive language, and moral ambiguity. May not be suitable for all readers.
Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow. Genres: Epic Fantasy • Medieval Intrigue • War & Politics • Slow-Burn Power Struggle • Loyalty vs Destiny For readers who love: The Witcher, Game of Thrones, Vinland Saga, political intrigue, tragic heroes, and worlds carved by snow and steel
