BLACKGUARD: WAY OF THE ASKARI

In the vast nation of Sol Galnese, where legends are forged through fire and steel, two lives on a collision course with destiny intertwine. Uzoma and Ru, brothers bound by fate and ambition, find themselves at the gates of Shujaa Pit, the famed training grounds of the Askari-the order of warriors tasked with protecting the kingdoms and their populations.

Uzoma's heart seethes vengeance, fueled by memories that haunt his every step. Across from him stands Ru, a tempest of determination, driven to prove his worth to their adoptive father, Baaku.

Amidst the clashes of boko, clangs of swords, and the roar of battles, an outcast's power grows darker with each life he extinguishes.

In a tale where bravery meets darkness, only one question matters-will they prevail, or will all be lost?



"The author deftly spins a gripping yarn of vengeance, ambition, and the intricate web of familial bonds. The narrative unfolds with exhilarating clashes, swordfights, and epic battles, each painted with meticulous detail. What truly sets this novel apart is its fearless exploration of moral ambiguity." -Melina Lobo, @melisbookreviewsAll Rights Reserved

Threads of Fate by LeeraIvy

The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.
