Joanna Fitzgerald had never imagined she would ever meet an Elitsi in the flesh.
Living as a humble hunter's daughter on the outskirts of the human colony known as Stephensford, the young woman fights for every second with her family. But now that her father has taken ill, and the cold bitter winds of wendru are blowing in, Joanna is left with an intimidating prospect; find a way to feed her family through wendru, or they'll starve to death.
Before she can come up with a plan, Joanna stumbles upon a strange humanoid in the woods. Identifying himself as an Elitsi, the strange and alien race living in the floating castle called Whealingport, the man offers to help Joanna in return for a favor. Her interaction with this alleged Elitsi leads to the uncovering of a side of the world she hadn't seen before; the strange and magical world of the Elitsi.

Lost Among the Peaks
This story follows Alex, a young boy who is unexpectedly thrust into a world of danger and mystery when he is pursued by a group known as the Hunters. Initially, Alex believes he's just an ordinary kid, but as the story unfolds, he learns that he's connected to something far greater-something ancient and powerful. The Hunters are after him because of what he is, not just who he is, and they believe he holds the key to a power that could reshape the world. As Alex journeys through the mountains with his companion, Jack, he faces increasingly perilous situations. Along the way, Jack reveals pieces of the truth-Alex is not just any ordinary person, but someone who holds a power that others want to exploit. Jack has been protecting him for years, keeping him in the dark for his safety, but now, with the Hunters closing in, Alex must make a choice: continue running and hiding, or face the truth about himself and the power within him. Throughout the story, Alex grapples with the weight of his newfound identity and the responsibility that comes with it. The mountains, the storm, and the constant pursuit of the Hunters serve as metaphors for Alex's inner journey-he must confront the parts of himself he's been avoiding, understand his purpose, and make a stand against those who would use his power for destruction. In the end, Alex chooses to face his fate head-on, no longer running from what he is, but embracing the strength and potential he has inside. The story is about self-discovery, overcoming fear, and stepping into one's true power in the face of overwhelming odds.

Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?
Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite)
In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.Complete
