Herah War Hej was many things: master artist, zealot teen, and unfortunate participant. One thing she was not, was human. Born in a universe where humanity never appeared, the artist is a Cendreux; one of many dragon-like, humanoid conquerors who've turned their backs on their god. She hopes to reverse this course and make weapons for her race's planet conquering needs. Before she can do that, however, Herah must first take part in a deadly game known as Recompense. Chosen as one of two representative of her universe by her Maker, Norwe, because of her mysterious power known as a Gift, the artist must complete a series of "acts", each having its own simple but heinous task to accomplish. If won, she shall be granted a single wish of almost anything she desires. If lost, the few things she loves will be destroyed. With this threat hanging over her head, Herah has to grapple with not just entertaining her Maker, but working with the hostile human leading her team and pushing through both sins from the past and the ones she's committing in the present. Herah is in for the battle of her life. But she is a master artist, and BATTLE IS AN ART.

***Final addition NOW PUBLISHED on AMAZON*** [5X FEATURED STORY] THE BRAVE RISE. THE SEVEN DRAGONS HUNT. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD IS FOUND. "Heran watched the white sails batter in the delicate wind above him, his tousled black hair collapsing forward to hide his beastly amber eye. The orange iris represented a dangerous fire combusting inside him, a permanent reminder that he carried the essence of the same evil that had destroyed his home." After years of enslavement by the Dragoness, a witch set on converting his home to worship her dark lord, sixteen-year-old Heran, a half-dragon, embarks on a quest to find the Light of the World, the answer to a mysterious prophecy that promises the kingdom of Roxundam's freedom. Allied with the unpredictable alchemist Zonis, a young dwarf charting their course across the seas in his boat, The Lillycove, and the alluring Ackie, a she-elf holding the vital location to their destined saviour, Heran traverses the beautiful yet harrowing world of the Southern Isles and beyond. To defeat the darkness, he must rise and become the light. *** (V1) - Participant in the 2024 Open Novella Contest | Round 1 Qualifier | Round 1 Winner | Round 2 Qualifier | Round 2 Winner | Longlister | Shortlister Featured by @Fantasy in their Epic Fantasy Reading List ✨June 2024 ✨ Featured by @ShortStory in their Novelettes Reading List ✨September 2024✨ Featured by @ShortStory in their Short Story Spotlight Reading List ✨March 2025✨ Featured by @Ambassadors in their Shorts and Poems Reading List ✨September 2025✨ Features by @Fantasy in their Mythical Creatures Reading List ✨October 2025✨ Prompt #21 - A Dragon, an Elf, and a Dwarf embark on a quest to find the lost heir to the kingdom.
