In a realm where peace is tenuous and war looms, the Veritas Trials are the crucible that forges the soldiers destined to protect the land of Veridian. For Elara Quinnley, the trails are more than a test - they're a mission of vengeance. After losing her young brother in a Fae attack, she's driven by a fierce hatred for the enemy and a determination to prove her worth.
Thrown into a brutal regimen alongside recruits from every corner of Veridian, Elara must master her unique powers while navigating the trials' relentless challenges. But her determination to success is shadowed by a web of secrets: whispers of betrayals, a hidden history of the Fae war, and the haunting memory of her brothers death.
As the trials push Elara to her limits, she discovers that the line between friend and foe is thinner than she imagined. To survive, she'll have to decide what truly matters - her vengeance, her survival, or the truth behind the war that stole her brother.
The Veritas Trials is a thrilling start to a journey of strength, loyalty, and uncovering the truths that define a hero.

Shatter The Line
In the stratified city of Veridia, divided into the privileged Aristocratic Zone and the oppressed Inferior Zone, the annual Trial of Passage offers a desperate few a chance at a better life - or so they believe. Sora Vance, driven by the disappearance of her brother during the last Trial, enters this brutal competition with a hidden agenda. But a malfunctioning VoxChip, the very technology used to control the city's inhabitants, begins to grant her unsettling whispers - fragmented data and alien thoughts that hint at a deeper, darker truth behind the Crown's carefully constructed reality. As Sora navigates treacherous trials of endurance, wit, and survival, she uncovers a hidden resistance fighting in the shadows and forms an unlikely alliance with a cynical Bourgeois contender and a conflicted Aristocrat. Together, they will unravel the Crown's insidious secrets; the true purpose of the Trial, the horrifying capabilities of the VoxChips, and the lies that maintain the rigid divide. Prepare for a gripping tale of rebellion, unlikely alliances, and the fight for truth in a world built on lies. This story explores themes of social injustice, the power of information, and the courage it takes to break free from systemic oppression. The whispers are just the beginning... will Sora and her allies shatter the Crown's control and ignite a revolution?Concluida
The Book of Trials || ONC 2019
When Veia Phelde is cursed, she hardly expects the ruin it will invoke, but will breaking the curse come at a cost more than its worth in blood? +++ Veia Phelde had been satisfied with her life in her small cottage in the woods, never bothering anyone save for her job as a blacksmith's apprentice. But when she loses her job, Veia is forced out of her comfort zone only to run into a simple book that means so much more than she wants it to. With blank white pages and a title carved by knife, the single word that scars the leather can only be the work of fate, and the danger it contains... well, let's just say that's fate, too.

Godspark
Long ago, the gods ruled not from heavens, but from thrones carved into the land itself. They were warlords and wanderers, creators and destroyers-each embodying a domain: War, Secrets, Storms, Desire, Death, Memory, and more. For centuries they shaped the world of Elarion, guiding mortals with gifts of power and fear. Then came the Sundering. The gods turned on one another, tearing the skies with their fury and cracking the earth beneath their feet. When the divine war ended, they vanished-no tombs, no farewells, only silence. But their blood did not vanish. It passed through generations, hidden in mortal veins. Those born from this legacy bear godmarks, shimmering sigils on their skin that pulse with fragments of divine power. Now, centuries later, the Godmarked live in uneasy shadow. Revered by some. Hunted by others. And watched by the Council of Balance, who fears a second divine uprising. Kalen Serros, heir to the Warfather's bloodline, is known before he even arrives at Virelian Academy. A temper like fire, a blade like poetry-he seeks vengeance for a lost brother and freedom from a legacy that defines him. Rosira Veylen is his opposite in every way. Reserved, cunning, and untraceable, she bears the mark of the Veilbearer, god of secrets. Her past is a riddle, and her future may unravel the academy itself. They are strangers. Rivals. Warnings wrapped in human form. But as ancient powers stir beneath the surface of the world, and whispers of divine return grow louder, their fates begin to tangle. Together, they may save Elarion. Or destroy it.
