Book 1 of the Emberfall Trilogy

Kael's life is shattered the moment he discovers a glowing shard in the ruins of a burned forest-a shard that pulses with an ancient, dangerous power. But this is no ordinary relic. It's the key to a war that's been waiting to ignite, and Kael's fate is bound to it in ways he never imagined.

Enter Lyra: advisor, warrior, and the one person who might know how to control the shard's fire. She's everything Kael needs... but also the one person he can't trust. Her secrets are as dark as the magic she wields, and the line between ally and enemy blurs with every passing day.

Visions of a floating city and the whispers of a forgotten revolution haunt them both, pushing them into a deadly game where nothing is as it seems. Magic. Betrayal. A city on the edge of ruin. In the Cradle of Cinders, no one is safe-and the fires are only just beginning.All Rights Reserved

Will she rise to claim her destiny, or will the secrets of the past consume her? Entangled is a spellbinding tale of fiery passion, dangerous alliances, and self-discovery.

The Seven Kings by MorganMathiex

The world is on the brink of annihilation as the Void, an ancient and malevolent force, threatens to consume everything in its path. A prophecy foretells the rise of seven destined kings who must come together to save the realm. Each possesses unique powers, born of light and shadow, yet their union is fraught with tension, mistrust, and the weight of their personal pasts. At the center of the story is Kael, a fiery and determined warrior seeking redemption and purpose. Alongside him are Elysia, a wise and enigmatic mage with a deep connection to the world's hidden truths; Nira, a skilled archer driven by loyalty and fierce independence; Serin, a scholar haunted by the burden of ancient knowledge; Lyra, a rogue whose sharp wit hides a wounded soul; and other allies whose destinies intertwine in unexpected ways. Their journey takes them through perilous trials, from haunted libraries and ancient sanctuaries to crumbling cities torn apart by the Void's corruption. They uncover fragments of the past, learning of an ancient order that once sealed the Void away, and the sacrifices it demanded. Through relentless battles and moments of reflection, they begin to understand the price of wielding their extraordinary powers: the need for balance, unity, and self-awareness. Despite their victories, the world remains scarred. Even after destroying the heart of the Void, cracks remain in the fabric of reality, threatening to fester into something worse. The seven realize their fight is not just against an external darkness but also within themselves, as they grapple with loss, duty, and the temptation of unchecked power. Amidst all this, the story shines with moments of humanity: bonds forged in fire, laughter shared after battles, and the quiet, personal struggles that make each character relatable. These moments of levity and connection serve as a poignant reminder of what they are fighting to protect-a world of fragile beauty and hope.
