Set in the high fantasy world known as The Forgotten Realms, this is a tale of adventure, mystery, monsters, and most importantly, taverns.

Ignatius, a fresh-faced young ranger from Neverwinter, finds himself entangled in a perilous quest for the legendary Scepter of Lyrandar, a relic lost to time and memory that holds the power to save Faerun or destroy it.

As Ignatius traverses the treacherous world of a full-time adventurer, he is tested in ways he never imagined - from vicious pirates to the deceptive and ruthless nobility of Saltmarsh, his journey pits him against flesh-hungry Lizardfolk, dusty Skeletons, a cunning Marid, and one very adorable kobold.

But Ignatius is not alone. Along for the ride are an unlikely band of allies: Tuppy, a nature-loving druid with mysterious powers; Periwinkle, a cunning pirate with her own agenda; Gerbo, a battle-hardened mercenary with a violent past; and the most enigmatic of them all, "The Ear Thief," a wizard whose infamy and control over the underworld is as terrifying as it is impressive.

Together, they must navigate through a maze of betrayals and secrets, where alliances are fragile and trust is scarce. As they draw nearer to their goal, Ignatius finds himself questioning everything he knows about power, loyalty, and the true nature of evil.

He gave me a feline smile as he stalked toward me. I backed away until my heels hit the stall wall and he took advantage of my surprise by stepping in to me, his body a mere whisper from mine. "That's good, Evelyn," he murmured and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. My heart was pounding and I knew my face was betraying everything I was feeling. Damn him. I didn't want to feel this excited clench in my stomach. I didn't want to feel this longing for him. "What are you doing?" My voice was shakier than I would've hoped and far too breathy. "Something I've wanted to do for a very long time." *************************************************** Two hundred years after a powerful sorceress eliminated all modern technology and most of Earth's population, the people left behind live happily with no electricity, no motorized machinery - no advanced technology of any kind. However, many of them now possess magical gifts that were once considered myth. Evelyn Kentala, a talented horse trainer, is an empath and uses her gift to understand animals. Her abilities don't allow her to know the emotions of people - or so she thinks. When Broderick Ryan, the next leader of his and Evelyn's province, returns home after being gone for five years, Evelyn discovers she's much more than an empathic horse trainer. Frightening and rare abilities begin to manifest and she's left reeling when she discovers why. Evelyn and Broderick find themselves drawn to each other as they discover the secrets of her unknown past and fight to keep themselves, and their province, safe from those who wish them harm.

14 parts Ongoing Mature
I wrote this for EVERYONE. An introduction to my universe.Best for slow , attentive , close reading. Stick with it. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long ) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mystery and enjoy its intrigue.. The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world in inevitable finality. The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. What does it take to take everything? Every home, every name, every last trace of what once was. And who would do such a thing? And how? No one has ever seen anything that would make them believe in magic. Gamleon is the first to see and to survive. His mind near collapse under the strain, his heart broken. He runs. What would you do? What could anyone do? A world of mythological beasts and medieval men, where Gorgon hordes slither beneath the earth, clawing for metal, for power, for anything. But they come for your children. Opulent kings wage wars over things no one can even recall, blind to the coming obliteration. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out the cataclysm. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Our weary, world-worn adventurer is a paradox: terrifying perhaps, yet tender, grotesque but with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. With no choice but to navigate the unexpected Gorgon tunnels, his inner thoughts help us all learn how to persist and triumph in the face of impossible odds. Join him and be swept away as he reconciles never-before-seen innovations and insurmountable challenges. Dignity and hope. Self-respect and courage.

Death was supposed to be the end. For Justin Mikati, it was just the beginning. Crushed under the wheels of a delivery truck, Justin awakens to an impossible offer from an ancient entity known only as The Solver. Reborn in the savage world of Vael'ari as the weakest creature imaginable-a common slime-he discovers that evolution is more than survival. It's conquest. With acidic hunger and an iron will, Kael devours everything in his path. Beasts. Magic. Knowledge. Power. Each kill makes him stronger, each evolution unlocks terrifying new abilities. But when he forms an alliance with Seraphine, a daemon with her own bloody agenda, Kael learns that true strength isn't measured in claws and venom alone. The abandoned goblin ruins of The Hollow become his fortress. Outcasts and monsters flock to his banner, drawn by promises of protection and purpose.

Word spreads of the slime king rising in the north. Heroes sharpen their blades. Zealots cry for holy war. Ancient powers stir in the deep places of the world, sensing a threat that could reshape the very foundations of Vael'ari. To survive what's coming, Kael must evolve beyond monster, beyond ruler, beyond anything this world has ever seen. In a realm where only the strong survive, can a creature born from nothing claim everything? The Hollow King rises. The world will never be the same. A visceral dark fantasy where every evolution comes at a price, every alliance bleeds, and power is seized one brutal bite at a time.
