From the skies descended an angel, a being of immense beauty and rarity. It brought gifts to the people of Victoria, and though met with skepticism at first, it was eventually accepted into their society. But with the angel's arrival came an unforeseen calamity.
Monsters began to rain down from the heavens, laying waste to everything in their path. They pillaged, destroyed, and ravaged, ultimately annihilating ninety percent of humanity.
This catastrophe became known as the Great Lament. Three years later, the survivors began to rebuild, establishing shelters, havens, and guilds that employed 'hunters'-warriors armed to kill the monstrous invaders.
Victor, one of these hunters, harbored a deeper motive than most. During the Great Lament, his family was slaughtered, and his son taken from him in the most brutal way imaginable. Now, driven by a relentless thirst for revenge, he has set his sights on the Monarchs who rule the land.
With his shotgun in hand, Victor swore on his life that before he dies, he would rid the world of these tyrants.

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete

For All the Skies Between Us
She was not born an angel. She was made into one. The church called it salvation, though she and the others knew better. They were experiments-children forced to carry the blood of something greater, something divine or perhaps monstrous. The priests never revealed whose blood it was, only that it belonged to a "god." She never saw that god, never even knew its name. But she felt it in her veins every day-burning, reshaping, devouring what was once human inside her. From the ritual came her wings: vast and terrible, twelve feet of shadowed feathers stretching behind her, with smaller, flame-lined wings sprouting at her feet. With them, she flew faster than arrows and struck harder than any sword. Fire itself bent to her will, rising and falling with her breath, a weapon she alone commanded. For years she fought in the war of men. Cities burned, armies fell, and still the blood in her veins demanded more. But no power, not even hers, could shield her from loss. Three of her companions-those who had shared the same cursed experiment-were gone, their bodies left behind on the battlefield. She buried them in ash and flame, and with that, she could fight no longer. She turned her back on the church, on the endless slaughter, and wandered into lands untouched by war. For a brief moment, she believed she could escape the cycle. Yet fate was not so kind. The world around her shifted-time, space, reality itself bending. In an instant, the smoke and ruins of men's wars were gone, replaced by a land of jagged mountains, black forests, and skies haunted by creatures she had never seen. Here, the battles were not waged between kings and soldiers, but against things far more primal. Monsters. And though she had left the battlefield behind, destiny had not left her.

Together, they set their sights on the beast that claimed everything from her. But this is no ordinary hunt. As Luna and Nightwalker close in, they must confront not only the monster's unimaginable power but also the shadows of their own pasts. Will vengeance drive them to victory-or into the jaws of the very darkness they seek to destroy?

Forsaken Fallen
"Walk on by my side, if death's your saving grace." This is a cruel story of humanity. An unforgiving, unforetold twist on the laws they call the norm. To those individuals and their handful of burden from a bygone past, it is their greatest wish for their torture to come to a close. Are they sinners? Or are they misguided, fallen angels? Is the kind of pain that makes them want to rip their eyes out... to turn their very beings into dust worth the journey in the big picture? In the reunion between two sides of the same coin does the curtain rise on this story. To one, a slave shackled by the truth of the world, to the other, a world that shall bow to one truth. It is in the deepest of despairs that sometimes the hopeful spirit is born--Thus I watch over with great interest. - Perséphone
