In the rugged expanse of their homeland, Bragner Aleback, a seasoned dwarf mercenary leader, stands as a bulwark against the encroaching darkness that threatens to engulf their lands. With every swing of his mighty hammer and every word of command, Bragner fights tirelessly to safeguard their territory from the ravages of war and chaos.
Amidst the turmoil of their tumultuous world, fate intertwines Bragner's path with that of a young human boy named Burgess. Orphaned and afflicted by a rare arcane disease that twists and distorts his bones, Burgess bears the weight of his affliction with stoic determination. His bones grow dense and thick, imbuing him with extraordinary resilience to injury, a trait he further enhances through his mastery of magical manipulation of his own life force.
Yet, amidst the shadows of adversity, Bragner perceives a flicker of brilliance within the young orphan. Even as a mere toddler, Burgess displays a near-genius intellect that sets him apart from his peers. Bragner, ever vigilant, recognizes the potential within Burgess, fostering his innate talents and guiding him along a path of knowledge and wisdom.
As Burgess grows under Bragner's watchful gaze, he not only hones his physical prowess but also delves deep into the mysteries of magic and lore. With each passing day, Burgess becomes a formidable force to be reckoned with, his intellect and magical prowess complementing his resilience in battle.
Together, Bragner and Burgess stand as a testament to the indomitable spirit of their people, their bond forged in the crucible of conflict and adversity. As they face the trials that lie ahead, they draw strength from one another, their shared resolve unbreakable, their hearts united in a common cause: to defend their homeland, no matter the cost.

Small People
Title: Small People Description: Kayne Ray has spent his life being overshadowed-by his towering Vareshian lineage, by his powerful older brother, and most of all, by the cruel legacy of his father, a man feared for his hatred of humans. Unlike his family, Kayne wants nothing to do with the supremacy that shaped his childhood, but breaking free from his past has left him isolated, awkward, and adrift in a city built for giants like him. Everything changes the day he accidentally injures a human woman in a dark alley. Small enough to fit in the palm of his hand, Val is delicate, wary, and utterly alone. Wracked with guilt, Kayne takes her into his apartment to recover, intending to send her on her way. But days pass, and neither of them seem eager for her to leave. As Kayne struggles with the suffocating weight of his father's estate, a brother who demands more than he can give, and a world that will never fully accept his rejection of Vareshian dominance, Val becomes an unlikely anchor in his chaotic life. But the longer she stays, the more tangled his emotions become. His protectiveness warps into something deeper, something dangerous-a hunger he knows he has no right to indulge. Torn between his desires and his duty, Kayne must walk a thin line between the man he wants to be and the instincts clawing at his restraint. Because Val trusts him. And breaking that trust might shatter more than just the fragile sanctuary they've built-it might ruin them both. A slow-burn fantasy romance about power, restraint, and the forbidden pull of two beings from vastly different worlds, is a story of longing, control, and the delicate balance between fear and desire.
