"A mystic has been forced to my home of Sola, wielding a suppressed power that flips the world I know on its head. And I, Raign Yrth, am going to take that power for my own."


Thaum grants the ability to manipulate objects and augments physical capabilities. It is the source of the royal bloodline's power and legitimacy. It is also illegal on pain of death. 

The enigmatic substance is how Raign Yrth, son of the mob boss Fyr Yrth, gets a cutting edge over his enemies. Although Thaum can melt the imbiber from the inside out or drive them mad, it is the greatest weapon known throughout the Crescent Coast - in the hands of those who have the will, intelligence, and skill to use it effectively.

That is, until Raign encounters a captured mystic who can use magick without the use of Thaum. A woman whom every major player in Auretheos is scrambling for, including rival gangs, the Queen, and even Raign's own father. The power she holds will determine who controls Sola, the capital of Auretheos, and by extension, the entire Crescent Coast. Maybe even beyond.

And that's a prospect Raign Yrth would never pass up.

12 parts Complete Mature
Now that he has the Serum from Elon's Crest, with the help of Mernaline, a mermaid descendant of the people of Mer, Klever needs to drink the Serum of Umelum, which is the blood of the immortal Oracle, Lady Comadina. But first he must travel to the far north where her successor, Lady Atenda, resides in the realm of Truthe at the sacred Palace of Orali. On his journey he will face challenges from those that have sided with the evil sorceress. Along the way he makes friends that become companions. He will meet leaders of armies, and the twelve tribes kings that are descended from the ones of old. Some, allies that will bestow gifts that will help Klever along the way...and others that will curse him, and set trickery against him, even in his darkest hour. Along with the twelve kings, Klever will meet and be guided by seven Elders of the Age, Watchers of time given a potion made from the Arora Opiate flower, common to fields of lemon grass near the Fraidis Mountains. The flower is used to strengthen the quality and prolong human life, but only lasts twenty five years at a time beyond three quarters of a century old. Klever will have to follow the Maps of Seven that will lead him through many different realms in his world Earthaine, and use the trinket of Iris to travel safely, and in the right direction. The Elders will help guide Klever to each destination on his three month journey, acting as hosts of refuge so that Klever can remain hidden away from the witch, Gwyniah, who is in pursuit of the Serum also. If she gets ahold of it, she will have ultimate power and would be indestructible; no living army could defeat her. With king Septimus, an unruly king and traitor, Gwyniah has access to nearly eliminable power. Klever must save his twin from the fate of death, and to do so, he must reach the north before she begins to cross the veil of immortality, for he must drink the Serum of Umelum in tandem if they are to survive. If they die, so does everyone else.

47 parts Complete Mature
A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.
