Once a jester with a thirst for power, Gwyn's life ended on the breaking wheel-but his story began in Hell. Rising to dominance as the Dominion of the Pride Ring, his ability to control souls like marionettes made him a terrifying force. For centuries, he ruled unchallenged, his greed threatening even Lucifer himself.
But as new Dominions rise and alliances form, Gwyn's empire begins to crack. Consumed by vengeance and ambition, he'll stop at nothing to reclaim what's his.
In Hell, power is everything-and Gwyn will risk it all to stay on top.

The Jester and The Queen
So Queen Marigold had her husband beheaded. What of it? The adultering loser had broken her heart. What she didn't expect though was that her trusted council would turn against her and that her sister Elsbeth, second to the throne, would use this momentum to overthrow her reign and banish her to Baile na Grod, which - let's be honest - is nothing more than an inhospitable rock in the ocean. As surprising as that chain of events might be, nothing could've prepared her for the shock of her creepy-ass jester volunteering to keep his queen company in exile. What the fuckety fuck fuck!

Place Your Bets
In a city wired with neon veins and heartbeat basslines, where love is currency and addiction is law, lives Jax Valen-known to the underground as The Jester. He's a cyberpunk performer with a glittering smile and a death wish heart, spinning through clubs, casinos, and the ruins of his own sanity. High on heartbreak and dopamine, Jax has only one rule: bet it all or don't play at all. Haunted by the ghost of a toxic love he can't quit, he chases obsession like a drug-writing poetry in blood, pulling magic from misery, and laughing through every loss like it's part of the act. But when he crosses paths with someone darker, colder, and even more dangerous than the demons he dances with, Jax is forced to ask the one question he's never dared to voice: Is this still love, or is it just a beautiful form of destruction? In a world of glitching gods, velvet leashes, and rigged games, Place Your Bets is a neon-drenched, tragic glam noir-where romance is deadly, beauty is broken, and the only thing more dangerous than losing is falling in love again.Complete
Lunar Flare Book 1: Crimson Moon
A mischievous jester. A gentle soldier. A secret that could tear their lives apart. Noble born runaway turned jester Thedrick enjoys his job possibly a little too much, and his habit of both teasing and flirting with the king's soldiers often lands him in hot water, though the beatings they serve him never seem to dissuade him or dampen his spirits. Only recently recruited into the royal guard, everyone wants the gentle giant Beowulf to be intimidating, telling him to keep his helmet on to cover his soft face while he stands behind the throne looking menacing, though the soldier would much rather be back home baking pies. When the two of them meet, the guard is enamored by the tiny fool, and becomes his protector, a job that turns out to be a lot more difficult than one might assume, especially when Beowulf learns that Thedrick might be harboring a dark secret.Complete
