The wind howled through Eldor's Hollow as the night descended upon the village. It was the kind of autumn evening that made the trees seem like silent sentinels, their branches creaking as if in conversation with the cold air.

Of Shadows and Starlight | E. Peredhel
Set in the world of Middle-earth, during the time of The Rings of Power, Melisane, the youngest sister of Finrod and Galadriel, unlike her sister's mind-reading abilities, possesses the divine gift of prophetic dreams, able to glimpse the future, past, and unseen realms. As a child, she was captivated by tales of dragons-creatures of wind, sky, and fire-and often dreamed of them, their power and grace haunting her thoughts. In the aftermath of the Elves' flight to Middle-earth, the loss of her brother Finrod, and Galadriel's departure to hunt Sauron, Melisane is left battling grief and feelings of abandonment. Despite her skill as a deadly commander and warrior, she struggles to find purpose, withdrawing from those who care for her as her dreams grow stronger. One fateful day, she stumbles upon a newly hatched, abandoned dragon-just as her dreams had foretold. Believing this moment signals a change in her destiny, Melisane takes the creature under her care. Concerned by her reclusive nature, Elrond, the Half-elven, and an old family friend, seeks her out and is shocked to find her raising the dragon. Agreeing to help her, he assumes she will eventually let it go, but their shared bond over the creature slowly rekindles their long-lost friendship-and something deeper. As shadows loom once again over Middle-earth, Melisane and Elrond must navigate the growing darkness, all while facing the uncertain futures that their hearts and dreams reveal. Will their newfound connection withstand the threats closing in, or will the starlight of their bond be consumed by the shadows? _ "You sleep coiled; tightly wound. Hands made fists beneath the pillows, clenched above cotton sheets. You are at war, even in your dreams, cenedril af fae nín. Let me help you."
Lightbringer
Jon Snow ascends the throne, claiming his birthright and the legendary sword Lightbringer, becoming Aegon Targaryen. Beside him, Daenerys and their children join a new reign, striving to restore a shattered realm. Cities lie in ruins, forests have withered, and the scars of war and plague run deep - a continent desperate for healing, and a people wary of hope. The Lord of Light raises the dead, and the fire casts shadows the world cannot comprehend. Yet the power of Lightbringer is far greater than anyone imagined. When Aegon taps into it, fire and destiny collide, testing his strength, his will, and his understanding of what it truly means to rule. The realm is unprepared, and he is not ready. Every choice carries consequence, and every moment of triumph risks destruction.Complete

The Last Of Her Blood
In the deep silence of the forest, something ancient stirs. When young historian Elara Morgan returns to the remote village of Black Hollow to research a forgotten myth, she expects dusty records and eerie folklore-not a trail of brutal, unexplained deaths. Locals speak of a creature bound to the woods, a shadow of vengeance that hunts by bloodline, not reason. As the line between dreams and memory begins to blur, Elara finds herself drawn into a dark legend older than the village itself-one whispering of betrayal, love, and a curse that refuses to die. Some stories were never meant to be uncovered. Some blood was never meant to survive.Complete
Through The Black Veil
When the sleepy coastal town of Graven Hollow is struck by a wave of unexplained disappearances, no one can explain the chilling whispers that fill the night air. They echo through the forest, rise from the abandoned mines, and crawl beneath the ash-covered ruins of old houses long forgotten. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Mire returns to her hometown after ten years-just in time for the centennial eclipse, an event that the locals say awakens "the Hollow's hunger." But something is wrong. The town feels frozen in time: clocks stop ticking at midnight, the air carries the smell of burnt earth, and shadows seem to move even when no one does. When Evelyn discovers her late mother's diary filled with strange warnings-"Don't look in the mirrors. Don't follow the voices. Don't trust the ones who remember you."-she realizes her family's dark past is connected to the curse haunting the town. As she digs deeper with the help of a skeptical journalist and a boy who doesn't exist in any official records, Evelyn uncovers a truth buried for a century: Graven Hollow was never built on solid ground-it was built over something alive. Every clue brings her closer to the heart of the nightmare... and the whispers are getting louder.
