In the thrilling sequel to Of Shadow and Death, the mysterious Dracul Dregoth and the tenacious Evette Star return to seek each other out amongst the ashes.
Though Evette once vowed to kill the King in the West, she soon realizes that he is the only one who can free her blood-bound wolf from the chains of death. Befriending her murderous enemy is what she must do to save herself and those she loves from the fierce, supernatural storm that threatens to tear earth and sky apart. The dead have come back to life, and they are ready to seek out their long-awaited revenge. Two mirrored lands want for rulers, and the people will have what they so desire. They refuse to bow to any king. They want for a queen, one who can wield the power to restore their voices, their land, and their hope. Seven woman wish to sit upon the throne, but only two will be crowned.
Of Silence and Decay is the second book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is to be trusted. No one is safe from the monsters that lurk within. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will find themselves amongst the saved.

Touch: Saving Ai | ✓
[Vᴏʟᴜᴍᴇ 1 - Cᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ] Evelyn White was born with a gift - or rather, a curse: the first time she touches someone, she sees when and how that person dies. Meeting new people is sickening. Walking through a crowd is hell. Not to mention that when she opens her big mouth to tell people what's going to happen to them, most treat her like she's crazy - even after she saves their lives. But meddling with the future has consequences, and Death is not all there is to fear. As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting. Trying to get close using mind games and tricks. It knows about her powers. It knows she can change Fate - and it's not alone. ------------------------------------------- This book is written in Australian English and uses British style grammar.

Deathsworn Vol. II
*** Sequel to Watty's winner 2018 *** Best read after Vol. I "Killing is the draught that must needs be drunk. Guilt is but the coin we use to pay for it." Moons have passed and wounds have healed, but the memories of Hammar are as lucid for Bard as the future is bleak. Once more the Gallowmen must venture forth armed with their wits, their weapons and their will, united in the knowledge that only through death can they purchase life. Their relationship with the Burned Priests straddles the edge of a wicked knife, and though their list may grow shorter, patience is a commodity that has run its course. Now the Gallowmen must travel as far east as one can go, to a corner of the map thats notoriety lies in it being perilously unforgiving to those who know it not. Here, death stalks the jungles, creatures of the dark hold dominion, and life is a luxury pledged only to the strong. At the edge of the world, Bard and his rogues must navigate more than mere men to get what they need. Their life is their list ... if they can survive long enough to see it through. *Deathsworn Vol II is a spin-off story from a much larger trilogy I'm currently writing for publication. Comments/reviews/feedback would be greatly appreciated wherever possible. Volume I of IV is COMPLETE ... Enjoy.Complete

Auria is meant to be wed-- at least, her parents believe so. It's a difficult world for an unmarried woman, and her parents only want what's best for her: a safe, well-fed life during the cold, wintry months. But, Auria doesn't want to be shackled down to a man... she doesn't know what she wants, or if she's even allowed to want more. If only she were born a noble, she'd be able to spend her days reading. She could read REAL literature, not just biblical propaganda spread by the church. Auria wants a life different than hers, but she knows her place--she has no choice. Determining that fighting fate is useless, she decides to give in to her parents' demands. It's during the church's solstice event that her new life plan unravels when the very God her people worship takes center stage. ----- Cyrus was one of the first creatures to ever exist.

He razed cities, destroyed all manner of creatures, and painted himself as a formidable foe-- even worshipped as a God of fire amongst mortal creatures for his life-bringing flame. Still, he was mateless. He has watched his brothers one by one find the missing pieces of their souls and yet he remained alone. His despair lulled him to sleep... but something has stirred his desires. 🔞18+, sexual themes and mature scenes. ~~Mate of the Dragon God is a romance fantasy set in an old-world realm, filled with magical creatures of all sorts ~~

Born of Flames
Asterria has entered an era of renewal following the battle at Durga's How, but its sense of peace cannot be shared by those who heard the dire warning given by the gods. Although ten months have passed, Morana and Tarion still believe that Astaroth could return and are determined to be ready to face him this time. But their people have other priorities which threaten to upend their lives once more. Division is spreading between the people who are pushing for Tarion and Morana to be crowned Asterria's new King and Queen, and those who believe their purpose has been served. They are caught in the rippling tides of change, and with the future hidden from even those who once wrote it, there is no telling where that change will lead. As the tension grows, Morana is becoming more afraid that they won't be prepared to face the new threats emerging, and of what will happen if her worst fears are realized. Only one Heir of Hadeon will remain standing at the end of it all: an immortal God-spawn, or the mortal Phoenix. Can Morana fulfill her destiny and the sacrifices demanded by it to destroy Astaroth once and for all, or will the world be lost in flames?

When a brutal attack leaves Morana alone and on the run, she has no choice but to search for answers, both about herself and about the Dark Lord pursuing her. Her only clue leads her to someone who may have the answers she seeks, but can she trust one who was created by her enemy? Time is running out for everyone and the end of an age approaches. Morana will either rise from the ashes or find herself in a grave beneath them. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements.
