They are cold, ruthless, and merciless.
Savage, villain, 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫.
The Fallen care for no one and show no compassion to others. They have immense power that destroys them if they are not careful and as they are branded as harbingers of destruction, they are targets of loathing and suspicion.
With all of this, one Fallen has captured the interest of many.
Gods and Goddesses look after him, ancient beings seek to destroy him, and kingdoms want his power for their own.
Acheros Vesper, the Count of the Praestes Kingdom, wants nothing more than to be left alone. Fate has other plans for him though, and he gets dragged into a centuries old conflict.
Follow this broken being as he pursues a centuries old mystery surrounding his kind, and as he struggles with his own identity and past.
"Not all monsters are bad or evil. Sometimes, they are just broken, discarded things that refuse to listen to the world that ruined them."

The Last Oath: The Decline and Fall
What happens when narration becomes magic and monsters become stories? When meaning crumbles beneath the whispers of tales, and certainties drown in the din of words, truth wears a thousand faces at the windows of night. Survive. When the untold fades, and the unseen is lost. Endure. As kingdoms fall and life ebbs away, as souls awaken only to cage themselves within the lines of pages. Fight. For what remains is a silent longing to wake again, upon the shores of a dream unborn. ------------------------------------------------------------ A multi-character fantasy tale set in a world that has forgotten how to define itself, where eras chase one another in confusion. Knights confront the unknown, detectives battle dragons, and vampires raise dogs. The stars are wrathful, the kingdoms have fallen, and magic stands stripped bare. ---------------------------------------------------------------- For those who do not like indirect suggestion: A cruel, innovative magic system A dark fantasy that blends classic fantasy, horror, and the supernatural. Long story and slow build (although you can judge it in the second chapter) Multiple characters and a big world Exploiting (inspiration from) myths, epics and legends in worldbuilding Legends from all over the world: Europe, Africa, America, Middle East, Australia, Asia, Ireland etc. Mystery, investigation, and the need to analyze, focus, and use your knowledge and abilities to reach conclusions and form your opinion before the characters do (you are part of the investigation, not just the characters) Warning: "Contains graphic violence" "Not suitable for children"

Paragon - Book I
*COMPLETE* 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. Still, she's not the only one who has problems: bigger tides of change and danger are shifting across the world she has been assigned to protect. The Jarles, a kingdom in the east, has begun moving across its borders, and there are strange murmurings about what they have done, and where all the children they abducted have gone. Faced with responsibilities she never wanted, and a life she thought she could never have, Allayria must decide how she will help--and if she will be the Paragon at all. _____________________ WIP Cover art and written work by Azi.

The story of Alexander Erthe and Cara D'Angelo *** The Third Book of the Royals of the Realm Series An escape from all the family drama was all Alexander Erthe ever wanted. Being denied of his birthright as the heir to the throne of the Earth Elves made his self-confidence dwindle. The fact that his own family is his enemy broke his heart.

His world was turned upside-down when an Angel stumbled injured in his territory. It wasn't the idea of his quiet life slipping away that bothers him - it was how to keep the fiery Cara D'Angelo safe from the demons of her past hunting her.

Eros
Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.
