Starrhys and Kersona are blacksmith apprentices who live in a land unready for the cataclysm beneath their feet. After generations of dormancy, the wild arcane stirs with the swelling of ungodly, celestial things; things that think and speak as one, whisper of fulfilling the desires of all mortal hearts, take the place of your friends and taint your dreams.
The nexus is twisted, choked off and... changed. Magic is not the same and will only grow worse. The wild arcane has slipped through to give the apprentices the gift of unbound ability, but it is too late.
Every day the pair struggles to understand and control their newfound abilities, their list of friends grows shorter. No one can be trusted and every moment is borrowed as the one-mind strangles the bonds that hold the planes apart.
What is the twisted black whose fingers curl around the heart of the arcane, and how did the wild magic remain untouched? The apprentices must face the gods themselves to help save their home before the entire arcane succumbs to the darkness.

Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper.

Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives.

Cael is cargo. Bought, sold, and about to be handed to a buyer who's already paid in something worse than gold-until he breaks his cage and runs into Kymera, a marsh so drowned in wild magic that its rivers glow and its ruins whisper. There he meets Eldinor: a white fox arcanist, alone but for a bad-tempered raven, who tells him plainly that he doesn't belong here and can't stay. Cael follows him home anyway. He has nowhere else to go and the magic waking in his blood will kill him if the fox doesn't teach him to control it. But Cael's old owners haven't given up. A wounded slaver with something to prove, an old mercenary who's tired of the blood on his hands, and an imperial sorceress who sees Cael as property of a fallen empire are all closing in on the swamp, and on the secret Eldinor has buried there for years. Some things you have to face together. And some lies are told out of love. A dark-fantasy found-family story about hope, trust, and the cost of protecting someone from the truth.

When Gods Cry
In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening. Thousands of years later, animosity between the two tribes has culminated in a pending war and at the centre of this war stands Muma, an Amathu boy born with the mark of good. Stricken by grief when his rebel brother is executed, Muma embarks on a mission to free his people. Infiltrating the city of the Kasuhi, he seeks to bring down their society and free his people. Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.Complete

The Purple Eyed Girl
Thousands of centuries ago humans, vampires, and werewolves lived together in harmony, considering one equal to the other. Ruled by a council of three kings, with one from each fullblood race, peace endured for quite some time. All of it was destroyed when many years later the new vampire and werewolf kings both wanted to rule over the kingdom alone. A massive war broke out between the vampires and the werewolves and millions of lives were lost. In a last attempt to stop the war one hundred years later, the land was divided into three kingdoms, the vampires, humans and werewolves. The borders were shut, crossbreeding was forbidden since it created halfbloods and demons and each kingdom was led by the king of their respective race. In secret, however, it was decided that the human king would watch over them all to prevent another war from ever happening again. Since the human kingdom laid inbetween the other two, the humans invented technology to keep all the races at bay and trained the warriors of their army as skilled hunters. As time and generations went by, the kingdoms became more isolated and the common humans forgot that supernatural beings even existed. However, the war had never truly been resolved so the hatred that the vampires and werewolves had for each other endured. When a mysterious murder occurs, chaos breaks out within the kingdoms. A throne must be taken, blood must be shed, a choice must be made and all must be answered by a girl with purple eyes.
