Elric Moonshadow, a reclusive mage living in the depths of the Enchanted Wilds, has long chosen solitude over the world's judgment. His shadow magic, feared and misunderstood, has kept him hidden from society, and he's content to live in isolation.
But when a terrified child stumbles into his life, Elric is forced to confront the quiet pain of his own solitude. Together, they must navigate the shadows of their pasts, finding an unexpected bond in a world that has long forsaken them.
In the word forsaken, there is a hidden sake
a taste of solace in the midst of ache.
Even in shadows, comfort can be found-
a quiet peace where despair once was crowned.
Forsaken is a story of healing, unexpected friendship, and the simple strength found in connection.

The Kingdom of Elvendor: Curse of the Forgotten
In a world where Elves and Vikings are bound in eternal conflict, two powerful kingdoms stand on the brink of war. But for Elowen, an orphan raised in the shadows of Elvendor's shining towers, the stakes are personal. Abandoned as a baby, she's learned to survive in a city that values power above all else, a city where she's nothing more than an invisible pawn in a game of magic and politics. On her eighteenth birthday, the Luminara ritual will determine her place in this world, either among the elite or cast back into the darkness. But Elowen is no ordinary elf. As the ritual unfolds, an ancient power stirs within her, a force older than the kingdom itself, pulling her into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. Caught between two worlds-one ruled by the privileged elves, the other by the fierce Vikings-Elowen finds herself torn between duty, love, and the dangerous unknown. Eirik, the Viking chieftain's son, should be her enemy. Yet his storm-gray eyes see through the label of "threat" that's been placed on her. But loving him would be treason. Denying him? A betrayal of her own heart. As tensions rise between the two kingdoms, a dark power awakens, threatening to consume them all. Elowen must navigate treacherous alliances, face an ancient enemy, and decide where her loyalties truly lie. But one thing is certain-she was born to shatter the boundaries of both worlds. In the end, no one, not the elves, not the Vikings, will be prepared for the storm she's about to unleash. ********* A new chapter is published every two days, so stay tuned for fresh twists and thrilling moments as Elowen's journey unfolds!

The Golden Dragon's Hoard
Astraeus, a baby dragon, escapes from his old coven and stumbles upon a little shop that he spends months stealing from and hiding in to survive. The witch and familiars who live there are... strange. They know he takes from them but don't put up different wards, don't do things that could hurt him. They know that he has a hide out in the aster tree, that he lives close-instead of getting rid of him and forcing him to move, they visit him. Talk to him, leave him things, they're kind. Different. Stranger than any other witch or familiar he's ever met. Stray is not used to things that don't hurt. The gentleness is terrifying. He'd rather stay away from them than learn why they don't have sharp tongues or bruised knuckles. However, on the night of a bad storm, he gets trapped inside of the shop, trapped with kind strangers. After getting caught, he discovers another dragon. He learns that life is not meant to be painful. He learns that he can be loved. He's allowed to want things with them. To eat, to not fear the cold, to live instead of survive. Everything changes and Stray is determined to make them his hoard, to make it complete.Complete
Onyx
The ashes of Elarion still clung to my soul, a bitter reminder of the price we paid for freedom. Seren, my sun, my moon, my everything, stood beside me, her hand clasped in mine. We had won, but the victory tasted like ash in my mouth. The queen was gone, her tyranny extinguished, but the kingdom she built, the kingdom that had once held Seren captive, was no more. "We should start fresh," I told her, my voice rough with the weight of what we had done. "The Wildlands. A new kingdom, built on hope, not fear." Seren's eyes, always a window into her soul, were filled with a sorrow that mirrored my own. She knew the Wildlands were a dangerous place, a place where the fae lived in ancient forests. But she also knew that it was the only place where we could truly be free, where we could build a new life together, free from the shadows of the past. I would protect her. I would be her shield, her king, her lover. I would make sure that the Wildlands would become a haven for us both. But I knew, even as I made the promise, that I was not just protecting her from the dangers of the world. I was also protecting her from the loneliness that had always been my constant companion. I had been a king for far too long, a lonely king with no one to share his burden, no one to love. But Seren, with her bright laughter and her compassionate heart, had shown me what it meant to be truly alive. I would give her the world, even if it meant facing the shadows of my own past. ________ This is book 2 of Seren and not a stand-alone. Please read book 1 before starting this story in order to understand it. Please enjoyComplete

The Sun Beneath the Moon's Watch
Hayden Wright, a human born in the Sun Kingdom, was raised in a happy family in a lush and bountiful region, surrounded by people who adored and fawned over his kindness and beauty. But he holds a secret his family has kept hidden for years, hoping he could suppress the magic surging inside him and the ultimate responsibility he must bear. Caelus Elara, the elf prince of the Moon Kingdom, was strictly groomed to be the heir to all of fae and elven society. Despite the handsome façade and quiet demeanor he showed to everyone else, there was a spark of kindness and playfulness in him that only Hayden could bring out. One night, when Hayden was still a child, he crossed the stone border between the human realm and the Fae realm. While in a mystical forest he had never been to, he met a young elf with long, pointed ears. "Prince Caelus," the elf introduced himself. Delighted by the first human he had ever set his eyes on, he showed him his magic. To his surprise, Hayden mimicked his tricks, which led him to wonder if the person he was talking to was even human in the first place, as no humans could ever possess such magic. This drove Caelus to seek answers, hoping to help his newfound friend. Before Hayden returned, they promised to keep in touch until they discovered the reason for the human's powers. They continued to meet secretly until they both reached the age of 18, keeping the promise they had made as children while also hiding another truth-their growing attachment to one another. Two boys bound by eternal duties: the chosen one and the elven prince, caught between a looming disaster and their own burdens. Will they speak their hearts before time runs out?
