In the realm of Euronia, a land of ancient kingdoms and chivalrous knights, the Scourge of Iniquity-an esteemed order of knight Templars-found themselves marked as heretics. The true motive behind the king's decree was to seize their wealth, which was vast and accumulated over years of sacred duties. The Templars, betrayed and seeking refuge, turned to an ancient artifact: a ring capable of opening a portal to Abyssia, a mysterious and uncharted world.
The artifact, once in their possession, was activated in secret. The knights, led by Sir Thaddeus, a stalwart and principled leader, ventured into the unknown. As they stepped through the portal, the familiar world of Euronia faded, and they emerged in the lush, enigmatic land of Abyssia.
Upon their arrival, they encountered the Elven Alliance, a faction of high and dark elves who had established a tenuous peace after the Nightfall Cataclysm. In exchange for some of their valuable artifacts and assistance against the demonic onslaught plaguing Abyssia, the elves granted the Scourge of Iniquity a piece of land to call their own.
The knights soon set to work, establishing a formidable fortress and beginning their grand task of creating mechanical golems inspired by angels and divine beasts. These creations were not merely tools of war but symbols of their commitment to protect and rebuild in this new world.

The Art of Courts and Lies (Book 1 in The Gifted Trilogy)
Ice flooded my veins as the realization of who he was hit me. It must have been evident on my face because the man in front of me let out a dark laugh. "Oh dear, you didn't realize you were talking to a royal, did you darling?" he crooned. Not just any royal. Kesserian Cinis. The recently coronated king and ruler over the Ember Court. I forgot how to breathe, my mind whirring as it tried to figure out how I could have been so stupid as to let this happen. *************************************************** Wren Heatherfield is on the run. Having turned 18, she is now in danger of becoming selected for the Garner, a deadly game in which the six kings who rule over her continent take eighteen non-magical girls and make them fight for their lives. But as she tries to avoid the game by running away with her best friend and her sister, she consequently finds herself doomed to be a competitor in the 246th Garner. But the Garner isn't the only thing capable of killing her. In a castle surrounded by kings with dark powers and girls fighting for their lives, she may find that the politics of royalty can be just as deadly as their games. No one can be trusted in a palace full of monsters and, if Wren has any hopes of survival, she may have to become one herself.Complete
The Path of the Adventurer
Here is an epic fantasy story set in my D&D world that I wrote not only for fans of RPGs and fantasy in general, but for all my friends. This story about my character Erion, a young elven warrior; and his many allies and enemies in the kingdom of Briarbeth. In this vast story, you'll meet daring heroes, joy-bringing mages, ruthless orcs and more. This novel has a multitude of inspirations and influences, chief among them being Dungeons and Dragons, The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit, and The Legend of Zelda. I even take cues from anime such as Little Witch Academia, and favorite video games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and various JRPGs like Chrono Trigger. Look closely, and you may find subtle references to some of the aforementioned franchises at different points in the book :) Just a little warning: The story, especially the first couple of chapters, starts off with a several common fantasy tropes and clichés at first glance (e.g. elves and orcs, an old wizard with a pointy hat and a grey beard, taking treasure from dragon etc.), but it will grow into something a bit more unique as the story progresses. Please forgive my usage of Tolkienesque tropes, as I came up with the concept of the series when I was only fourteen (At the time I was making it in the style of old school fantasy, so what can you expect :p). Even I, as the creator will say it is cliched or stereotypical in some aspects. I only refuse to change them due to spending a lot of time with them during my high school years (And tbh i love elves/dwarves/orcs fantasy). With that aside, I hope that you will love my fantasy universe full of adventure and lore. Now sit back, relax, and embrace yourself for a magical adventure with Erion and his friends! Listened to Twilight Force, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Power Quest, and various other power metal bands while I was writing this :) (Character drawings found at the end of the story)Complete
Court Of Tethers and Ruin *A dark fae fantasy- romance*
"My mother warned me the fae are closer to gods than men. She never warned me what happens when gods wake up." The night the moon shattered it rained glittering shards upon the world. Fragments of divine power, each capable of increasing one's power and rendering the immortal Fae truly deathless. For the Fae King Kairos, they are not only his hope to save his crumbling Night Court from oblivion. They are a necessity to securing his rule and destroying those who oppose him. For Aylara Al'thaire, they bring only ruin. Aylara sees what others cannot: the golden threads of fate binding every soul to the connections they make in life. This gift has protected her human village for generations. But when Kairos's army storms her home, slaughtering all in their hunt for the fallen shards, her sight offers no escape. Only a bargain. To save her people, Aylara pledges herself to the Night King. In return for their lives, she will enter his treacherous court as his pawn-posed as his concubine, forced to use her unraveling gift to root out the traitor threatening his throne amidst the trials. As courts clash and ancient powers stir, Aylara walks a razor's edge: one misstep means her village burns and her fragile alliance with Kairos shatters, or the terrifying power of the shards consumes them all. Survival demands trust. But in the courts of fae, trust is the deadliest trial of all. ***************************** Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ (18+) Themes: - Enemies to lovers - Strong female main character - Protective / obsessive male main character - Fated mates - Prisoner-ally relationship - Court politics - Trails And so much more!
