Amere is a seventeen-year-old human living in the crime-infested, lawless village of Brookshire in the kingdom of Braisen. Ever since he was old enough to wield a sword, all he's ever known is the crime syndicate he and his orc guardian and partner work for. Before Amere was born, his father was taken away by the city of Andross guards under charges of sending a dragon to kill King Arturion as well as being a searcor outside of the Tower of Searcors. With King Arturion dead, his brother, Theron, took the throne. Unlike his brother, Theron imposed horrific laws in place for searcors, the Order of Drakkun, as well as the three remaining elf tribes living in the outskirts of Braisen.

The searcor further tells Amere that he has come to recruit him in a quest to unite an army of the races to take down King Theron.

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

General Wei Yu Yan's life was a tapestry woven with threads of sacrifice and sorrow. She had dedicated herself to her country, her bravery and skill unmatched on the battlefield. She had faced down countless enemies, her sword a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. Yet, despite her unwavering commitment, she felt a gnawing emptiness within. Her heart ached for a life beyond the battlefield, a life where happiness wasn't a fleeting dream but a tangible reality. She yearned for a life filled with laughter and joy, a life free from the constant burden of pain and worry. But her scarred face, a constant reminder of her past struggles, seemed to be a barrier to the happiness she so desperately craved. The world, it seemed, valued beauty above all else, and her scarred face was a mark of imperfection, a symbol of her unworthiness. She had fought for her country, for her people, but could she ever fight for herself? Could she ever find a place where her scars were not a source of shame but a testament to her strength and resilience? Could she ever find a love that transcended the superficiality of the world, a love that embraced her flaws and celebrated her spirit? The question lingered, a heavy weight on her heart. Would she ever find a life free from pain, a life where she could smile and laugh without the shadow of sorrow clouding her eyes? The answer, for now, remained elusive, a mystery waiting to be unraveled.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

Everything was going according to plan-until my life crumbled. Fresh out of university, I was ready to chase my dreams, fulfill my parents' hopes, and carve out my destiny. But fate had different plans. "Creation of the World"-a game of limitless possibilities, offering its user the power to control realms, to create and destroy without limits. Cassian watched helplessly as the Earth merged with this world of his own design. Stripped of control, he awoke in a body not his own. Cassian StarHold-the older brother of the world's greatest hero. -- I lived as a puppet, a slave bound to an unyielding fate, sacrificing everything for mere scraps. Yet, my tormentors weren't content with simply binding me. They brought war to my doorstep, erasing everything I had painstakingly built. Now, I stand amidst thousands of their finest, listening to the man who destroyed my world. He looms high above, addressing the crowd from atop majestic marble columns, his silver hair blending seamlessly with the sky. "People are not equal!" His voice, dripping with arrogance, slices through the air. "We are the peak of evolution! Nothing surpasses us! We've ascended, leaving mountains of inferior blood in our wake. And now, you shall inherit this legacy!" He pauses, eyes cold and prideful, scanning the masses below. "This power must be earned, not handed down by birth. Wealth, power, status-they demand a mountain of sacrifices for even a glimpse." With arms outstretched, madness flickers in his eyes, mirrored by the thousands who echo his zeal. "You cannot fathom the blood shed to place you here. But you will learn. And I swear on my pride... Only those worthy will survive! Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don't understand is that the puppet is about to break free. He's wrong-none of them will survive.

A Rings of Power ~ Adar Fanfic. In a world where light and darkness coil together like serpents on the edge of a knife, three hearts beat in an uneasy rhythm-one scarred by betrayal, one bound by ancient light, and the third, a healer lost in the ruins of her past, driven by vengeance. Adar, a fallen elf twisted by the hands of fate, had once longed for nothing more than to be a father. But now, the orcs-the distorted echoes of his lost dream-are the only children he will ever know. His skin, now grey as the ash left in his wake, bears the scars of torment and betrayal. He feels responsible for the creatures born from his torment, his twisted children, and will stop at nothing to free them from Sauron's grip. But even the shadows have chains of their own, and redemption comes with a price. By his side walks a healer, a woman haunted by the destruction of her people. With power locked deep within her, she craves vengeance yet finds herself bound to a journey that will test her very soul. Their path leads to Eryndra, an ancient fae queen, bound to a sacred forest. Her luminous beauty hides a deeper, more dangerous intent, and she holds the key to everything Adar seeks. But her price may be more than any of them can pay. As hearts clash and secrets unravel, the lines between duty, love, and betrayal blur. In the coming storm, only one truth remains: no one will emerge unscathed.
