In the mystical, mysterious, and enchanted land of Nedethgil, where magic flows as freely as the wind and ancient myths shape reality, There are 8 kingdoms. Rich in history, magic, and wonder, these kingdoms are distinguished by their magnificent and powerful creatures, each controlled by eight ruling families.
Twenty-year-old Liora, a fiercely independent sorceress from the forgotten lands, has dedicated her life to studying the arcane arts, specializing in ancient prophecies. The other lands are set to bring war and destroy the forgotten lands due to the encroaching threat of dark forces rumored to be awakening there. The forgotten lands, often overlooked and scorned, possess a rich culture steeped in the lore of the Old Gods and arcane practices.
One day, Liora is visited by a mysterious wise man who reveals a century-old prophecy. He tells her she must go to Radiantia and marry one of the Altice brothers, though he does not specify which one. This prophecy, she later discovers, foretells that only the union of a sorceress of the arcane and a warrior of royal blood can prevent the rise of the Shadow King, an ancient evil poised to engulf Nedethgil in darkness. However, Liora faces a significant challenge: escaping the forgotten lands. The wise man suggests she use her magic to disguise herself.
The Altice brothers, heirs to the most powerful kingdom in all of Nedethgil, are seemingly beyond Liora's reach. She has nothing to offer but a prophecy from her land, which could very well be false. When Liora approaches the chosen brother, he is skeptical, especially since he is already in love with another and plans to marry her. In a world where magic is real and danger lurks in every shadow, can they unite their worlds and their hearts, or will the prophecy's curse consume them both?
Dive into A Claim Of Power and Origin, where destiny is written in the stars, and love is the most powerful magic of all.

BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast.

To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury.

Cursed Prince: the light in the shadows
The cursed Crown In a kingdom torn between eternal darkness and radiant light, King Corwin, once a noble ruler, is cursed to remain in shadow, a dark prince bound by a malevolent spell that saps him of warmth and hope. The curse can only be broken by a single heart, the one pure enough to banish the darkness and return him to the light. But this curse is a twisted game of fate, and Corwin's salvation rests on a competition of love, power, and destiny. Enter Lira, a spirited young woman from a forgotten village, whose light has been hidden for years under the shadows that plague her world. She is the chosen one, the only person whose heart can break the curse-and the only one who can see through the king's darkness. To do so, she must enter a dangerous, high-stakes contest, where suitors from across the land compete for the king's affection. Only the one who wins his heart will hold the power to lift the curse. But the path to Corwin's heart is fraught with challenges. Alongside other competitors-each with their own powers, motives, and secrets-Lira must prove her worth, navigating treacherous alliances, betrayals, and temptations. In a world where light and shadow are at war, and love can either heal or destroy, Lira must fight not only for Corwin's heart but also for her own survival. The stakes are higher than ever: If Lira fails to win the king's love, the darkness will consume them both, leaving the kingdom to wither in eternal night. As the competition grows fiercer and the lines between light and dark blur, Lira must face her deepest fears and discover the true nature of love, sacrifice, and the strength it takes to break a curse that has held the kingdom captive for generations. Will Lira's light be strong enough to pierce the darkness and heal the cursed king, or will the shadows claim them both? Only one thing is certain-there can be no light without darkness, and no redemption without love.Complete
Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: A King of his Own started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic.Complete
The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor.
