Lyall is set to be executed for murder, until a mysterious stranger intervenes. It's not just an act of kindness though. In exchange for his life, Lyall is asked to risk it on a mission to the town of Prithdon, settled at the foot of a volcano, where a dragon has taken up residence. A dragon that even a slayer refused to face, for fear of what it guards.
Meanwhile, Lyall's mysterious new employer makes an unplanned visit to his hometown. A place long deserted by all but a ghost of a woman, and the lingering power of the wrathful god who destroyed it.
Even gods don't have perfect families.

This is an early draft of the story, and changes/improvements are bound to be made later. Questions and feedback are welcome and appreciated, as it could help me with revisions.
Rated Mature for: strong language, themes of depression, and self-harming ideation (from a non-POV character, but it can still be distressing). Warnings may be placed at the start of Individual chapters, if necessary. If you see a chapter without a warning that you think it should have, let me know, and I'll add it.

Dragon Tamer |A Daemon Targaryen Fanfic|
[BOOK ONE IN THE HOUSE OF VAHRARYS SERIES] In the aftermath of the Doom of Valyria, House Vahrarys-one of the last surviving dragonlord families-returns to Westeros cloaked in secrets, power, and ancient flame. Lyrah Vahrarys, sharp-tongued and untamed, is bound by duty to marry Prince Daemon Targaryen, forging a political alliance meant to tether her dragonfire to the Iron Throne. But Lyrah is no obedient bride. Forced to consummate her marriage under the eyes of the court, Lyrah endures a brutal tradition meant to strip her of autonomy and crown her a spectacle. Yet even in pain, she does not break. Daemon, reckless and unrepentant, shields her in ways no one expects-becoming both weapon and refuge as the two clash, burn, and slowly begin to understand the dangerous power in choosing one another. As whispers coil through court and old blood rises from beneath the stone, Lyrah must navigate venomous politics, a tyrannical mother, and the treacherous pull of her own heart. Bound by fire, fear, and the ghosts of Valyria, she refuses to kneel-not to kings, not to tradition, not even to love. Because some dragons were never meant to be tamed.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

The Fall of Vequera
18 chapters available • the rest are available on Patreon Book one in "The Reign of The Flame" series "If she became queen, she would be the end of us all." A disinherited princess and a kingdom on the verge of ruin. The birth of twins were once a joyous occasion in Vequera but in the year 602 C.E, it was anything but. A first-born daughter with a golden eye and a second-born son. The realm feared what the daughter would be capable of. None knew of her power or what she would do in the future if she became queen, so the throne was given to the second son in hopes he would save their house from possible ruin. Over the course of her life, she was neglected by her mother for being different like the "demons of the west." She began to harden as the years passed her by and the abuse she endured intensified until one day, she snapped, killing someone. The queen sends her away in order to keep the nobles at bay but little did she know that her decision to do so would cause the fall of everything she held dear. The fall of Vequera.

Is It A Lot To Ask For?
Two strong and independent women. One, who is obvious at what she does. The other, who maintains her subtlety. One, who kills professionally to protect. The other, who kills personally to punish. One, who sometimes goes with the flow. The other, who always has a back-up. One, who wishes to be a charming knight in a shining armour. The other, who would rather become the charismatic villain than a dainty damsel. White and Black, Fire and Ice, Light and Dark, Earth and Sun, Yin and Yang. Both Selfless, Smart, Stubborn, and Smitten by the other. Destined to be together. The perfect and ultimate Power Couple. But as they say, fate is cruel. Their destinies pit them against each other. It's forbidden for Samyukta to have Prithvi, in any way, and it's harmful for Prithvi to have Samyukta, in every way. What happens to their equation as secrets come out, intentions are revealed, feelings are confessed? Will it be a lot they will be asking for? Or will it be just enough for them?Abgeschlossene Geschichte
2 The Seventh God
"Gods are immortal. This is a fact. So when the seventh god, Hul, did in fact die, killing himself in an act of confused desperation, his spirit of deity had to go somewhere to wait, ready to become divine once more. The waiting was supposed to be a simple exploration of what it meant to be mortal, what it meant to grow up in a loving family and live a joyous life, but unfortunately Hul's evil brother, the architect of his confusion and ultimate cause of his death, had other ideas." This story begins a decade or so before readers may first have encountered Enthel in my previous story, Hilrean Rite, and is set in the same world. It is not necessary to have read Hilrean Rite in order to enjoy this tale. It explains some world history, and introduces some characters met by Enk's daughters in the later story, Descendants, which is a direct sequel to Hilrean Rite and which I intend to publish after this one. This story contains references to: memories of domestic abuse, necromancy (the desecration of graves and raising of the dead to become slaves by the use of magic), slavery, misogyny, cannibalism, death and injury. There is no overt or gratuitous horror and the only violence described is minimal. The tale uses the words, mad, and madness, as setting-appropriate references to mental ill-health.

This is the first 77 chapters of a 241 chapter book! You can get it for cheapity cheap on Amazon (ebook and hardcopy) or pay by the chapter on other sites. It's called 'Google it.' I advise the Amazon route, because we poor folk need to stick together.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
An echo of Kings
"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.
