In a world where empires rise and fall, one nation's legacy is woven with the echoes of a single, extraordinary figure-the Founder. His teachings built a land of unity and hope, but as centuries passed, ambition and division began to fray the bonds he had forged.
Now, in a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin, a child is born on the outskirts of its crumbling glory. Unbeknownst to all, his presence carries the promise of change-a force capable of reshaping the destiny of the nation.
This is a tale of perseverance and reclamation, where the weight of the past collides with the uncertainty of the future. As the shadows of betrayal and ambition threaten to consume all, one question remains: can the heart of a nation be rebuilt when its very soul is forgotten?

Celestial Shadows
She was never meant to survive. The kingdom was drenched in blood the night the palace burned, when its heir vanished, its loyal guard betrayed, and darkness took root where light once lived. No one spoke her name again. No one believed she could return. But magic remembers what the world forgets. Now, the lost girl walks unknowingly among the ruins of her legacy. Shadows follow her. Secrets stir beneath her skin and two men are bound by choices forged in the fire of her past. What if the boy who once fled beside her now guards her from the shadows, watching with a blade in one hand and a secret in the other? What if the one sent to destroy her is the only one who truly understands her? This tale is not only about royalty lost and reclaimed, it is about memory, trust, and the fragile line between duty and desire. It is about the quiet resilience of a girl shaped by grief and the power of a choice made in the darkest hour. This is not a fairytale. This is a reckoning. In a world where loyalty is lethal and love is a weapon, Elara must choose who to trust: the boy who once bled for her... or the prince who haunts her dreams and tastes like danger.

i was reincarnated as abusive father of the hero twins
When a 17-year-old gamer wakes up in the body of one of the most hated characters from his favorite RPG-Darian, the drunken, abusive father of the twin heroes-he's not just confused... he's horrified. The world is grim, unforgiving, and very real. The man he's replaced is a violent failure of a father who, in the game's timeline, is destined to die at the hands of his own children. The problem? Those children are now clinging to each other in fear, and he's holding a bottle he doesn't remember picking up. With no cheat powers, terrible stats (including negative mana), and only vague memories of game mechanics, he has one goal: rewrite the future. He must earn the trust of the twins he was supposed to ruin, master forgotten skills through grit and repetition, and survive in a world that sees him as nothing more than a worthless commoner. There's no prophecy, no system guide, and no forgiveness for failure. Can a burned-out soul trapped in the body of a villain become the father two future heroes need?
SOUL BOUND LADY
"It is not forgetting the face of the betrayer, or wiping the slate clean as if it were a silly scratch. The memory is the wound: it stays." The slate is shattered, and Cordelia is standing in the wreckage. She wakes in a new place with a new name and the paralyzing knowledge that her greatest enemy wasn't the monster waiting in the dark, but the trusted hand that held the knife. Her new surroundings are a deceptive calm-a fragile, isolated space where the only threat is the one she brought with her: a profound, toxic inability to trust. She can see the flaws in every lie, the hesitation in every smile. They took more than her freedom; they stole her foundation. Cordelia is a ghost in her own life, moving through an unfamiliar landscape where every gesture of kindness feels like a calculated move. She knows the memory is the wound. What she has yet to decide is whether she will let that memory kill her... or make her a weapon. Update: Every Sunday or maybe🤔 two days a week!
DARK HORIZON
A realm on the brink of war. A bond that threatens to consume them both. Cora's life takes a dangerous turn when she's thrust into a world of secrets and magic. Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded. Considered little better than beasts, the people of the Third live in isolation, training to control the instincts and will of the creature that lives inside them. Alone in the Outlands, he never expected to find a fae. Especially not one like her. When her cry shatters the forest, he understands the instinct that drives him to her side. What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own. With witches whispering of prophecy and a dark king determined to bring about a new era of ruin, they must choose: fight the fate that binds them or risk becoming the very force that brings the realm to ruin. Because the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where Ash ends and the dragon begins.
The Artan Legacy: Soul Mates.
Long shrouded in the mists of forgotten lore, a forbidden ritual has risen anew to cast its shadow over the world. Born of despair and tempered by obsession, the Baron of Stratna has devoted the very essence of his being to assembling an arcane puzzle whose reward is as alluring as it is perilous. Yet, in a twist of fate, his life becomes entwined with another's-a connection as unforeseen as it is vital. The same force that ensnared the young man in its inexorable grasp may yet prove to be the only hope of his deliverance. The Artan legacy, both venerated and feared, stands unmatched among the disciplines of arcana.

No more than a tool in the hands of its wielder, its morality is forged in the crucible of intention. And now, at the towering heights of Highsummit Manor, this fearsome legacy may serve as the final bastion for a young magian determined to protect all that he holds sacred. -Entire book (168 000 words) for less than a dollar at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Rakuten Kobo, Apple Books, Everland, Tolino, Baker & Taylor, vivlio, BorrowBox, Smashwords, Fable, and others. -Audiobook in production.

The Continent
In a world built on forgotten Ages, where kingdoms rise on lies and the old gods sleep beneath stone, whispers of a returning power begin to stir. From the gutters of a crumbling city to the high halls of kings, unlikely souls are drawn together - Goric, a horned giant haunted by exile; a mage bound by duty; and a boy who has lost everything. Each carries a fragment of a secret that could reshape the world... or end it. As empires rot and ancient powers stir beneath the earth, the line between legend and truth begins to blur. Shadows move behind thrones, long-silenced magic bleeds back into the land, and one truth becomes clear: the Ages never truly end - they only begin again. For some powers were never meant to wake. All thoughts and opinions welcome.
