This is not the story of a boy swept up by fate.
This is the story of a man forged by it.
A man burned by betrayal, marked by gods, exiled by those he dared to trust.
Jesse was stolen from his world, shackled by prophecy, and shattered by love. Now, he burns. With questions. With vengeance. With a power he doesn't yet understand-and a fury he no longer wants to suppress.
But he is not alone.
Arrowen-the Spire who condemned him-now lies broken in his arms, bound to him by blood, duty, and a twist of cruel irony. She is his prisoner. His charge. His reminder.
Oh, how cruelly the tables have turned.
As kingdoms fall and skies darken, Jesse must decide:
Will he accept the fate written for him- or rise from its ashes to write his own?

Saltblood and Silence
Four years after the storm. Queen Emma Swan rules a fragile Enchanted Forest rebuilt from ashes-but she rules alone. The Pirate Queen who saved her vanished into the mist without a word. In her place come emissaries: eleven powerful figures from fallen kingdoms, all loyal to a ghost. Each brings their own resources, secrets, and debts-answering not to Emma, but to Regina. While Emma navigates a world shaped by someone else's empire, the Ravager sails on. Far across the seas, a stowaway child-Rag-sneaks aboard one of Regina's shadow ships, dreaming of freedom and pirate glory. Instead, Rag is broken down, beaten, and forged in salt and labor under the brutal hands of the crew. What begins as punishment becomes survival, and what survives begins to learn. As whispers rise of assassinations among the emissaries, Emma digs deeper into the Queen's web. She uncovers a hidden empire built over thirty-five years: former prisoners, now nobles and ministers. Survivors of Regina's ship, released with new names and silent vows. She was not the first. And she may not be the last. When one of the emissaries is murdered, the tides shift. The Ravager returns to Hollowdeep, an underwater fortress carved in silence and magic. And the Pirate Queen rises again-cursed, burning, and merciless. Old wounds open. Loyalties crack. Emma must face the truth: the empire Regina built might be the only thing keeping their world from collapsing. But can she forgive the woman who made her a weapon? Can she lead beside her, or must she defy her? And somewhere in the fog, the stowaway watches it all-still nameless, still unknown-waiting for a place to belong.

Wings of the Fallen (MeenPing)
In a fractured world teetering between Heaven and Hell, war is eternal-and love is forbidden. Meen, a fallen angel exiled for defying divine law, wanders the mortal realm burdened by guilt and broken wings. His last mission: eliminate the half-demon prince prophesied to bring ruin to both celestial and infernal planes. But Ping, the enigmatic and alluring demon heir, is not the monster Heaven claims. Chained within a cathedral of fire, his touch ignites forbidden magic-and awakens something deeper in Meen than mere duty. Their souls are entangled by a divine bond, one that can only be sealed through sacred-and sensual-rites of union. As ancient gods stir and realms begin to fall, they must travel through ruined heavens, cursed lands, and dreamscapes of lust and power. Alongside them stand their loyal allies-Perth, a battle-scarred celestial sentinel, and Santa, a healer with secrets etched in his skin. As love deepens and pleasure becomes power, the two couples face a choice: burn the world for each other, or remake it together.Complete
