~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 1, BOOK 5~

*This novel serves as a concurrent story to both Viper's Bite and Shocker Rising. It does reference some minor events from those novels, but this story may otherwise be enjoyed separately.*

"Alpin would rather have Flamestar burn the entire world alive than see a woman ascend the Boreal Throne."  -Firebird

The Mage Aspects are an otherworldly order of elementalists who hail from another dimension. The four sects that compose them-the Fire Sect, the Ice Sect, the Water Sect, and the Earth Sect-work among the humans of Earth in secret, protecting them from natural disasters, as well as other more trivial crimes should the need arise. 

Quite possibly the Aspects' greatest pupil so far is the 17-year-old girl named Cassie, given the designation "Coldsnap" by her colleagues. Initially born with a slight vision defect, she has shown immense potential in her ice manipulation abilities, rivaling that of the Ice Sect's leader, Frost King Alpin, who sees her as a threat to his rule; furthermore, her clashing views on humanity compared to his own don't help much, for she believes that the Aspects should form proper relationships with Earth's inhabitants while Alpin thinks they should stay hidden. Fearful that she could usurp him one day, the Frost King banishes her from the Aspects entirely and casts her down to Earth, lying that he is preparing her for a "much greater purpose", when it was truly just an act of envy. 

Unfortunately, this paves the way for the power-hungry leader of the Fire Sect, Morton Flamestar, to begin enacting his plans to conquer Earth and drown it in an eternal flame, seeing humanity as not being worth the Aspects' trouble. Now, it's up to Coldsnap to unite the other three sects and push back against Flamestar's corruption, before the world's entire population perishes in the fires of his hatred.

One year ago, Prythian suffered an attack at the hands of the necromancer, Melantha. She was ultimately defeated, but the marks of her terrible influence still remain in the memories and on the bodies of her victims. Wynter, Heir to the Winter Court, bears many of those marks. Unable to live with himself after what happened on the island Inmortui, Wynter chose to go into seclusion and face his lingering trauma alone. Regardless of his attempts to isolate himself, there are those who refuse to abandon him, no matter how badly he wishes they would. Elodie Rohese has carried a fondness towards Wynter since she first met him, just before he was kidnapped by Melantha. She refuses to leave him alone in his isolation, and instead, visits his home frequently, even though he never admits her. Despite her uncle's wrath and prejudices, Elodie continues to reach out to Wynter. When circumstances finally drive Wynter to answer her, they are both swept into a storm of unresolved trauma and unacknowledged romance. Together, they can weather the storm, but apart, it will only break them. Disclaimer: I do not own the ACOTAR series or the characters and places therein.

How are you supposed to move forward when you can't stop regretting your past? Everyone walked away from the Battle of The Sun & The Moon a different person than they were before. With no time to mourn the loss of Princess Yue the team sets their sights on the Earth Kingdom; Aang needing to master earthbending and the Earth King's support vital to win the war. There the Avatar struggles with the stubborn element while the Akira struggles with her own inner turmoil. Free to make her own choices for the first time ever, Aelita finds herself in a near-constant battle with her inner demons. The life she once knew is long gone and the girl she once was has slowly been dying ever since that fateful night in Spirit Oasis. Shukaku said she and Aang would know when the world needed a warrior or a pacifist, but the signs are far from easy to read. But Aelita Kensin isn't the only one with demons. Walking away from the girl that used to be his peace and seeing his throne slip from his fingers has left Zuko resentful and hurt. If this was his rock bottom, he wasn't sure there was any climbing up. With fire quickly breathing down his neck the banished Prince must decide who he wants to be before the choice is made for him. Everything the Fire Lord worked so hard for was steadily being destroyed by a little girl. One son was a failure, his only brother a traitor, the Avatar a threat and Aelita Kenshin a problem he should've dealt with long ago. Admiral Zhao's loss at the North Pole was the first major defeat the Fire Nation ever had under Ozai's rule and he swore he'd stop at nothing to make sure it was his last. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. More determined than ever the team is ready to dig their heels in, prepared to face the war and any new challenges head on.

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 2, BOOK 1~ *This novel serves as the 1st novel of Phase 2 and a sequel to "Powerhouse" and "The Paragons". The events of this novel and the next one, "Mastermind", take place at the same time.* "The Iron Kingpin and his forces seek to bring us to heel. To subjugate us by fear and intimidation. The flame of the resistance flickers, and it's up to us to reignite it. We must stir the noble hearts of the Citadel's people. We must show them that this world has not forsaken them." -Moody Half a year after the official formation of The Paragons and Malcorchus's defeat, The Viper, Duncan Drevis, and The Crawler continue to diligently protect Mercury Heights from criminal activity. However, The Viper soon confesses to Duncan that she has grown weary of protecting the same city for four years, and wishes to have a change of scenery, even for a little while. Soon, the three of them receive a distress call from Duncan's old friend "Moody", the leader of a resistance group in a hidden city in Asia known as the Rusted Citadel, which is currently under the merciless, oppressive rule of the evil Iron Kingpin. When "Moody" calls upon The Viper, Duncan Drevis, and The Crawler to come to the city and assist the rebellion in liberating it from the Kingpin's grasp, the trio ally with Duncan's sister Monica Drevis, a.k.a. Shocker, and embark on another adventure together to save the people of the Rusted Citadel, whose tyrannical monarch has much darker plans for it.....and the world as a whole. • Cover designed by @Castiment

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.

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 1, BOOK 2~ *This novel serves as a direct sequel to Viper's Bite. I'd suggest either reading it or at least getting a rudimentary understanding of it before beginning this one, or you're probably going to get confused.* It has been 2.5 years since The Viper foiled Dr. Drevis's plan atop the Mercury Heights Space Needle. However, due to the events of the previous novel, her reputation has taken a massive hit; the government has officially declared her a threat and are now sending agents after her, with Vivian O'Leary and her superior Miles Burnstone at the helm. To make matters worse, The Viper begins experiencing strange visions at random intervals that appear to be telling her something---but she has no idea what---and they're beginning to interfere with her job of being a superhero. After she receives a cryptic call from her grandmother, who claims to know the true origin of her powers while discrediting her initial story as false, she departs Mercury Heights for the first time and goes to visit her in Honolulu to find answers, leaving the city under the protection of a newly-reformed Duncan Drevis and his partner, The Crawler, in her absence. Things get complicated after she is directed towards an organization known as The Opulent, who appear to request her help, but secretly have much darker motives. Meanwhile, Duncan and The Crawler have turned over a new leaf and now serve as the joint heads of a massive innovation company known as Lifeline Industries, which specializes in fields such as genetic modification and robotics design. After Duncan's long-lost sister, Monica, is accidentally mutated into the supervillain Shocker following an electrifying lab incident and goes on a massive power trip, Duncan and The Crawler must set out to stop her before she kills the electricity to Mercury Heights for good. • Cover designed by @Castiment

*COMPLETE* "People don't believe in us anymore. They don't believe that in the end we will do what is right. We can't let them down. We can't let Ben win." Decisions made on top of the lonely, wind-swept cliff of Lethinor reverberate around the five kingdoms as war begins in earnest. This is a sequel to Paragon, it's my very, very, very strong recommendation you read it first, otherwise you will be totally lost. I am not joking. If your interest is piqued, here's a quick blurb for Paragon: _____________________ There are whispers across the kingdoms that the Paragon, that strangely gifted person who can wield all four Skills, has been found. They're wrong, of course. No one has caught the Paragon. Allayria should know: she's it. But Allayria doesn't want to be the Paragon, and in her pursuit of freedom she finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies, caught in a group who might be even more dangerous than she could have imagined. _____________________ You can read Paragon here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/95374969-paragon Highest ranking: #86 in Fantasy 2/10/2018 WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.
