((AKA: the shattered dominion))
In a world fractured by ancient magic, two heroes must unite to prevent a new cataclysm.
The Shattered Dominion once stood as a unified empire, prosperous and harmonious. But centuries ago, a cataclysmic event known as the Shattering splintered the land into floating islands, unleashing wild elemental magic. Now, these islands hover in the sky, connected by magical bridges and airships, a testament to a past both wondrous and dangerous.
When the dormant Aeon Stones-ancient artifacts of immense power-begin to pulse with life once more, the fragile balance of the Dominion is threatened. Legends speak of the Guardians, powerful beings who once protected these stones. If the stones fall into the wrong hands, they could unleash a primordial entity known as the Voidbringer, capable of consuming all magic and life.
Kael Windrider, a young sky sailor, embarks on a personal quest to find his missing father, whose last expedition was to uncover an Aeon Stone. Alongside him is Elara Stormborn, a mage with the rare ability to control elemental magic, determined to understand the reawakening stones and prevent a second cataclysm.
As Kael and Elara traverse the floating islands, they face powerful elemental guardians, rival factions, and ancient traps. They must unravel the mysteries of the Aeon Stones and the Guardians' history to avert disaster.
In this epic tale of courage, friendship, and sacrifice, The Shattered Dominion invites you to a realm where ancient magic and modern intrigue collide, and where the heroes' journey is as treacherous as the skies they navigate.
Unite the Stones. Defeat the Darkness. Save the Dominion.

Aeonae: Fragments of Destiny
In ancient times, there existed a magical stone imbued with immense power. Whoever touched it gained extraordinary abilities. Many coveted the stone, driven by their desire for magic. To safeguard it, the stone chose a brave Aeonaeian of pure heart as its protector. Her name was Eeria. She hid the stone in a secure and remote location, far from all Aeonaeians. The realm of Aeonae was divided into four kingdoms: Geonn, Aerie, Freix, and Irryad. Peace reigned across Aeonae-until one fateful night. Consumed by greed and ambition, King Ghallon of Freix stole the magic stone. His lust for power drove him to seek control over all Aeonae and its magic. Eeria, determined to recover the stone, confronted Ghallon. This clash ignited a fierce battle that brought devastation and death, endangering all life in Aeonae. Despite her resolve, Eeria could not defeat the king, as the stone had made him incredibly powerful. Realizing this, she devised a new plan: to destroy the stone. While brave knights engaged Ghallon to distract him, Eeria shattered the stone, scattering its magic to the far reaches of Aeonae. Enraged by her act, Ghallon ended the battle by striking Eeria down. As she lay dying, she spoke a prophecy: "This conflict is not over. Though you claim victory today, it will not endure. On the night of the first lunar eclipse, four Aeonaeians will be born, each possessing great and powerful magic. They shall end your tyranny and restore peace and order to this world. They will become the Guardians of Aeonae."
The Rise of The Crescent Heir
In the mystical city of the Midnight Kingdom, where magic and shadows coexist, a young heir named Elara discovers her extraordinary lineage: she is the Crescent Heir, destined to wield the combined powers of light and shadow to protect the city's Heart, a magical source of balance and life. As ancient forces awaken, a cunning mastermind unleashes a Final Weapon, threatening the city and the people she loves. From humble beginnings, Elara struggles to master her powers, navigate complex friendships, and confront her growing feelings for Kael, her loyal companion and confidant. Alongside her trusted allies-Talric, a strategic warrior; Lysandra, a mystical winged guardian; and Seraphine, a powerful mage-she faces relentless trials, from shadow-augmented armies to ancient magical trials, all while the Chronicle, an ancient magical ledger, demands a sacrifice for maintaining balance. Each chapter builds tension with dangerous encounters, emotional dilemmas, and mystical revelations. Elara learns that light and shadow are not opposites but complementary, and only through mastering both can she protect her city and loved ones. Through strategic teamwork, trust, and courage, she leads her allies against the Final Weapon and the mastermind, culminating in a climactic confrontation where the Chronicle's price demands her ultimate sacrifice. In the final battle, Elara channels the full extent of her Crescent-shadow powers to destroy the Final Weapon, stabilize the Heart, and defeat the mastermind. The cost is immense, leaving her physically drained and transformed-but alive, her mastery complete. The story closes with hope tempered by vigilance: though the city is safe, faint magical anomalies on the horizon hint at future challenges, ensuring the legacy of the Crescent Heir continues.
We Who Lie
He was the bastard prince no one wanted. She was the bard girl who gave him her heart. Now he's king- and the first thing he did was outlaw stories. Lyra Lightfoot once believed in fairy tales. She believed in love, in music, in Cyril Abecassis- the second-born prince with ink-stained fingers and a wounded heart. But power changes people, and Cyril didn't just take the throne of Xena; he's begun to destroy everything they once held dear. Authors are vanishing. Magic is hunted. A boy is burned for reading a book. And Lyra? She's running for her life with Arthur, a battle-scarred magician whose heart bleeds ink and fire. But Cyril is not done with her-not by a long shot. Because beneath his cruelty is a secret only she knows, a monstrous truth wrapped in soft promises and broken wrists. To save the kingdom, Lyra must dig through the ruins of the boy she loved and decide whether he can still be saved-or if she must become the villain in their story. A haunting tale of forbidden magic, fractured love, and the cost of telling the truth shows humanity at its lowest point- and how far one could go for a lost soul.

The Seven Kings
The world is on the brink of annihilation as the Void, an ancient and malevolent force, threatens to consume everything in its path. A prophecy foretells the rise of seven destined kings who must come together to save the realm. Each possesses unique powers, born of light and shadow, yet their union is fraught with tension, mistrust, and the weight of their personal pasts. At the center of the story is Kael, a fiery and determined warrior seeking redemption and purpose. Alongside him are Elysia, a wise and enigmatic mage with a deep connection to the world's hidden truths; Nira, a skilled archer driven by loyalty and fierce independence; Serin, a scholar haunted by the burden of ancient knowledge; Lyra, a rogue whose sharp wit hides a wounded soul; and other allies whose destinies intertwine in unexpected ways. Their journey takes them through perilous trials, from haunted libraries and ancient sanctuaries to crumbling cities torn apart by the Void's corruption. They uncover fragments of the past, learning of an ancient order that once sealed the Void away, and the sacrifices it demanded. Through relentless battles and moments of reflection, they begin to understand the price of wielding their extraordinary powers: the need for balance, unity, and self-awareness. Despite their victories, the world remains scarred. Even after destroying the heart of the Void, cracks remain in the fabric of reality, threatening to fester into something worse. The seven realize their fight is not just against an external darkness but also within themselves, as they grapple with loss, duty, and the temptation of unchecked power. Amidst all this, the story shines with moments of humanity: bonds forged in fire, laughter shared after battles, and the quiet, personal struggles that make each character relatable. These moments of levity and connection serve as a poignant reminder of what they are fighting to protect-a world of fragile beauty and hope.Complete

With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely.
