The illusion of life and the desire for power often cloud us. They change our views, bias our hearts, justify our wars. But even though power demands payment, will that stop you from fighting for your dreams?
In a universe where gods run rampant, mages decide the flow of history, and eldritch horrors hide in the darkest crevices of creation. Power and the right to command it and its consequences is earned, bled for, died for. Does the fire of hope shine bright, or does it burn black?
Where evil boasts its name aloud and good slinks away wretchedly in the shadows, will you bend your knee? Or will you ascend and join the mighty legends?
What is a king to a god?
What is a god, to a non-believer?

When Gods Cry
In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening. Thousands of years later, animosity between the two tribes has culminated in a pending war and at the centre of this war stands Muma, an Amathu boy born with the mark of good. Stricken by grief when his rebel brother is executed, Muma embarks on a mission to free his people. Infiltrating the city of the Kasuhi, he seeks to bring down their society and free his people. Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.Complete
Tears of Silver
My back hit the wall before I could breathe his name. His mouth was on mine-sharp, desperate, hungry. His hand fisted in my hair. His voice, a low growl against my lips: "You wanted to play," he said. "So let's fucking play." I knew I should stop him. I didn't. Because when he touches me, I forget what I'm supposed to fear. And gods help me, I wanted him to ruin me... Are we enemies by fate, or lovers by choice?Complete
The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story is the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!
