Rumerra - The Journey Begins
Since she was a little girl, Velvet has been reading stories about great wizards and witches of Rumerra's past, wishing every night to wake up one day and be blessed with the affinity for magic herself. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against her. Both her parents had no magic and thus the chances of her developing it are slim at best. But the gods of fate smile upon her one day when she receives her mark of light, thus becoming a light witch. Acquiring magic is only the first step, however. After this comes the grueling and life-long task of mastering it. We accompany the young witch as she sets out on a journey of self-discovery, full of magic and wonder - or so she thought. Velvet quickly starts realizing that the world of Rumerra is not like the worlds she got to know in her stories at all. Compared to her hometown of Simula, Rumerra at large is vast and unforgiving. From the frigid tundra of the Frozen North to the craggy hills of Eldrasit, and the vast forests of the elven lands, Velvet encounters mercenaries, dragons, and a vast array of other creatures, all of which seem eager to demonstrate that the world is far more cruel and unforgiving than she thought. Good and evil are not so easily told apart, not everyone is to be trusted, friends can die and a happy ending is all but guaranteed. Will Velvet be able to find her place in such a world? Can she become the hero she admired in her storybooks and pass on her knowledge of magic to others as she always wanted? Or will the cruel reality shatter her illusion and bring the girl to her knees?Complete

DRAKONIS: Rise Of The Fallen
On the island kingdom of Wynther, where emerald forests meet snow-capped mountains and sparkling seas, a powerful legacy once thrived-one born of dragons and the ancient bloodline that could control them. For centuries, the kingdom flourished under the rule of King Eryndor Wynmire, a wise and noble leader, and his queen, Ellara. Their reign was marked by peace, prosperity, and an unbreakable bond with the dragons who once roamed freely in the skies above. But that peace was shattered when Draeven Malvoryx, a dark and ambitious warlord, sought to seize the ancient power hidden within the bloodline of the Wynmire family. Driven by his lust for control over the dragons, Draeven launched a brutal attack, killing the king, conquering the land, and imprisoning Queen Ellara. The people of Wynther were left broken, their homes razed, their hearts crushed beneath the weight of defeat. The kingdom's greatest hope, Ardyn Wynmire, the king's only son, was presumed dead in the chaos of the war-his body lost to the flames of battle. But fate had other plans. Saved by a skilled archer, Kaela Sylvanhart, Ardyn lives, though broken and haunted by the loss of his family and the fall of his kingdom. Yet within him lies a secret-a power that, if awakened, could change the tide of war: the ability to call upon the dragons, a power passed down through his bloodline for generations. However, that power is dormant, and Ardyn struggles to awaken it. A journey of survival, redemption, and discovery lies ahead. For Ardyn, the battle for Wynther is not only a fight for his people, but a fight to reclaim the legacy of his ancestors-and to face the darkness that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. The dragons are returning. And their fate, like the fate of the kingdom itself, lies in the hands of the one who can awaken their power.Complete
