Dru Tabris was never meant to survive. After killing a nobleman in the name of vengeance, all that waited for her was dead. Until fate intervened. Conscripted into the Grey Wardens, she is thrust from the executioner's rope into a war against ancient monsters stirring beneath the earth.
The Blight spreads like rot, and when betrayal from within leads to the king's death, Dru and Alistair, fellow warrior, are all who remain. Hunted by the crown they once served, they become fugitives in a land teetering on ruin.
Their only hope lies in a fraying alliance of mages, mercenaries, and outcasts-each with secrets of their own. To end the Blight, Dru must unite a broken kingdom, face the ghosts of her past, and confront a destiny written in blood.

SUCK
I'm a vampire allergic to blood, and they say vampires are immortal. They fucking lied. A stake to the heart? Cute. The truth is blood-our own. Feeding on vampires keeps you eternal. Fall in love with a mortal (with them loving you back) and immortality unravels-first your fangs, then your power, then your life. For me, Auren Vale, that sounds like salvation. Two hundred years is too long to suffer when every drop of blood burns like fire. I'm ready to end it all. Then I meet Sienna Moren-the girl whose blood feels like poison and paradise. Loving her could kill me. Protecting her could destroy us all. And I've never wanted anything more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣄⡴⠚⠛⢶⡋⠁⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠴⠶⢶⣏⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢦⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠈⢷⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⡀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣀⣼⠧⡤⠴⠻⢦⡀⠸⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠟⠙⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢷⠶⠶⠚⠉⠉⠉⠀⢰⠇⠀⠀⡼⠙⢦⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⣼⠃⠀⣠⠟⣹⠶⣄⡀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⡼⠁⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⢰⠇⠀⣸⠃⡴⠃⠀⠈⠛⣦⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣆⡀⠘⠳⣤⣸⡌⢳⡄⠀ ⣼⠀⢀⡟⢰⠇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⡄⠀⠉⢻⡇⠈⢷⡀ ⣿⠀⢼⠃⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⢀⣼⠧⣄⠈⣇ ⢿⠀⠘⢦⡙⠳⣤⣀⣼⠀⠈⣧⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠛⠛⢻⠀⠀⣿⠀⢻ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⠶⣤⠉Complete

Ashes of Vengeance
Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead. In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last. Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules. Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Complete
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

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. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. 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. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.Complete
Nihilos Draconum Chapter VII(Actual final book version. Updated)
These are a series of standalone chapters from my upcoming book, Nihilos Draconum: Rise of a Warrior. It is meant to be a preview of my writing style, and as a means of gaining interest in the book before it is published. As well as gaining a fan base beforehand. The first chapter starts off slow. It entails the life of one of the more important characters in the would be series, Sacreia Valen. It begins with her mother and a little history of the elves. It goes down to how Sacreia was conceived, and what was the result of her birth. Being a half dragon, Sacreia's life is more or less filled with loneliness. People fear and loathe her for the power that slumbers within her. The Red Dragon blood within her causes Sacreia to perform violent and murderous acts as she runs simply on instinct and emotion. Before long she is known as the Crimson Whirlwind by many. But is she truly evil? Or is it Humanity?

The Guardian and the Soulbearer
He was ordered to bring her to the capital. He wasn't told he'd have to deliver her to her death. Lyana has spent her life staying small, head down, hands in the soil, past buried where no one can dig it up. But when masked men tear into her home in the night, Ravenwood burns, and the quiet life she built shatters in minutes. The man who saves her is no hero. He is the Crown's knight, sent to find her, take her, and hand her over. Kaiden is cold, controlled, and trained to obey. Then Lyana's power slips out in his hands, and he realizes the rumors are true. Lyana is not just gifted. She may be the last Soulbearer, the one the King needs to awaken the dying Queen. Awakening the Queen demands a sacrifice. Kaiden does the unthinkable. He runs with her. They are hunted by the King and the Circle, and trapped by a prophecy that insists Lyana's life is the price of salvation. Kaiden carries a secret no one can ever learn. He is a prince declared dead, and the Queen's son. If the Crown catches them, Lyana will be offered. If the Queen rises, Lyana falls.
