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.

At the Fields of Fire and Blood
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.Complete
Fate's Return (Twisted Fate, Book 2)
Alyssa has forgotten her brush with Death, but David's words have stayed with her: prepare. For what? She doesn't know. For a year, she's trained and become an almost undefeated boxer, putting all of her grief for the boy she loved and lost into being the best fighter. She's fast, strong, fearless. Now strange things have started happening, and she thinks she's losing her mind. How is she supposed to fight against what she can't see? Her mother's mind is clouded with a darkness no medicine can fix, and an ancient shadow circles the town, and Alyssa knows it's somehow related to her. Gifted in ways she doesn't understand, she's thrust into a triangle of devotion and danger-an angelic protector who refuses to leave her alone, a boy whose hands have held hers through the nights, and a darkness that wants only to make her surrender. In a race that runs as fast as her fists, Alyssa must choose who to trust and how much of herself to give-because the only way to stop a thing that feeds on light may be to become what it fears most. Will she save her mother and keep her humanity, or the secrets hasn't discovered cost her everything?Complete

No Bullets for the Beast
It was supposed to be his last day on the job. Unluckily for Killjoy, this crazed, cannibalistic beast tried to make it his last day on Earth. Killjoy had taken this god-forsaken mission for a little bit extra money before he would quit. He was tired. The middle-aged bounty hunter had etched his name across American mythos after decades of killing, gunslinging, and doing dirty work for one too many fat, greedy pigs. It was easy work, but the man can't get any older after years of doing it. And with a wife at home who he visited only so many times he could them on his one hand, and a daughter whose face he can barely remember year to year, it was time to hang up the boots. But when he is told about one job that could potentially set not only himself and his family for life, but for generations to come, Killjoy decides to screw it and do one last mission. The money he made was good, but not enough to last them. The reward? The deed to a gold mine. And the job? To investigate some desolate woods for missing people. It was as easy as they came. What a load of crap. The second Killjoy stepped foot into those forests, he knew something was not right. Desecrated bodies, the eerily empty mines and woods devoid of any light or humans, and the gnawing hunger that grew in him no matter how much he ate through his rations. Something was not right. And when Killjoy laid his eyes on it, he knew it was either fight or die.Complete
Ashes of the accursed
This story begins in the shadow of the Dominion, a vast, oppressive empire that has ruled the land for generations through fear, conquest, and the iron grip of its armies.

Beyond the Dominion's borders lie the Cursed Lands, broken regions scarred by ancient wars of the Fallen Gods. Only Few people survive long in these wastelands, but whispers persist that they hold secrets the Dominion fears. It is here that Dorian's journey begins. A man scarred by loss and carrying the black flame within his veins, he wanders from the Dominion's broken outposts into the forgotten wilds. The black flame is no ordinary gift-it binds and burns, a curse as much as it is a weapon. His body bears tattoos that shift and spread with each growth of essence, marking him as different. Dorian does not yet understand why he has been chosen. He only knows that he is being hunted for it. This is the story of vengeance, where both sides has to burn. Either they will burn each other or they will burn this world to ashes. If you like what i do. Please support me. Link in bio.
