Edris Edgewalker leads the meanest, toughest and most famous band of mercenaries in all of Aetherlas, or so he likes to think. Earning a living doing the Council's dirty work, they are given the task of taking down a gorgon whose nest of vipers have taken refuge in some backwater jungle ruins. A simple enough mission, until it's revealed that the Serpentkin are trying to resurrect their god so that it can finish eating the world.

The Circles of Magic 🌳 (The Curse of Magic Book 1)
As a Cursed elf, one born with no magic, Edwyr has been forced to live among humans for over ten years. He doesn't mind his job of defending the town that he now lives in from beast attacks, and he gets along with most of the humans well enough, but he can never quite make the bitterness and resentment over being exiled go away. Life goes on as usual until a talented but inexperienced elf named Feyrith arrives and tells Edwyr that the High Elven Council wants him to help Feyrith on a quest. Despite his hatred towards the Council, Edwyr ends up agreeing, if only because he doubts Feyrith can survive a trip like this alone. The task is to investigate strange magical energies in a ruin a few days' travel away. Edwyr assumes that the only thing to worry about will be avoiding getting killed by the jungle wildlife, but the mission turns much more complicated when they stumble across a conspiracy that aims to change everything about the elven society. Including both of their destinies. --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words]Complete
A Song of Faithless Shadows
Gwyneth had always felt connected to her faith, a higher power presiding over her. That faith had shaken that devastating day those years ago, the day that went on to haunt her every nightmare for years to come. She's still trying to come back from it, to not only restore her faith in life and love, but her faith in herself. The sanctity of her spirit- she prayed for resolve. Every punch was a prayer. Every mile was a hymn. Until her knuckles bled and her knees gave. Azriel had been surrounded by darkness his whole life, a poison on his world, on his being. He exercised restraint in his every waking moment, banishing that darkness within himself. Some guessed of the strain it put on him, but no one knew the extent of it, how deep his scars ran. It was better this way, he was sure. He had always thought that if there were a higher power- which he wholly doubted- such deities must loathe him to have burdened him such darkness. He hadn't much faith in the gods anyway, much less faith that he could sway their opinion on him. But Gwyneth and Azriel did have one thing in common: the quiet fight within themselves. They only knew one way: to go about it alone, couldn't fathom letting another in. But there's a magic in finding someone who is your equal but opposite, something transforming. And frankly, Gwyneth and Azriel could both use a little magic. All characters owned by SJM in the ACOTAR series. Story takes place after the events of ACOSF. Aligns with the events in my other fic: A Storm of Flames and Deceit. I haven't finished Crescent City, so this story takes place outside of the events of those books as well.

Flame of the inheritors
For two thousand years, the world has lived in the shadow of broken empires. The mighty Eralian Republic has crumbled into dust. The once-glorious Athracian Empire rules the South in terror but bleeds from within. And in the far North, forgotten legends stir - the Seolite Custodians, who guard a crippled god, and Ilmaraa, the hidden inheritors of humanity's first empire. General Marcius Varro has fought for too long. His company is starving, the rebels multiply like smoke, and the capital he serves is ruled by the corrupt Trusted Five. But when a letter arrives from the mysterious Emperor Cassander Veynar of Ilmaraa, promising not conquest but remembrance, Varro finds himself standing at the crossroads of history. Allies and enemies converge at the ruined Brass Meridian: Athracian envoys with velvet smiles, zealot Custodians with their living god, Ilmaraan envoys carrying rivers written like words, and rebels desperate for bread. A single day's truce becomes the spark of a struggle that will decide whether humanity embraces tyranny, memory, or fire. In a world scarred by plagues, rebellion, and immortal rulers who refuse to die, the last question remains: When conquest ends... what will humanity choose to be?
