The Black Crusaders are dead. Their legacy burned, their Order shattered, their sacred oaths buried beneath ash and ruin.
Only Grandmaster Silas remains-a lone knight clad in blackened armor, crowned with Yew, and wielding a sword forged to judge both the living and the dead. To the world, he is a relic of a forgotten war, feared more than the monsters he hunts-a ghost in iron, walking the line between life and death.
But the darkness that consumed his brothers was no accident. There are whispers beyond the Veil-of an ancient betrayal, of a name Silas once called brother, now lost to shadows.
Haunted by echoes of the past, hunted by the corruption festering in the world he swore to protect, Silas marches toward a reckoning in blood, ash, and the broken promises of men.
The last Black Crusader carries more than a sword. He holds the weight of the dead.

LURE
After Seely's death, El wears the crown of leadership unwillingly, her ship a crumbling husk of ancient tech and silence. The others look to her for safety, but when a sealed deck stirs to life, she feels only the weight of a curse awakening. The comms hub whispers of Earth, but not the world they left -a wasteland, haunted by plague and ruin. And then comes Silas, a voice too smooth, too eager, threading devotion with something darker. Worse still is Nana, the girl dragged from cryogenic sleep, pale and wrong, radiant with an alien hunger the others cannot see. El smells doom in the recycled air. The vessel is shifting, the eyes are watching, and she knows. Something has already claimed them.
The Secret From Within
Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.Complete
Ashes of the accursed
This story begins in the shadow of the Dominion, a vast, oppressive empire that has ruled the land for generations through fear, conquest, and the iron grip of its armies. Their citadels stand across the heartlands, their banners darkening the skies, and their soldiers march endlessly into villages that dare resist. Beyond the Dominion's borders lie the Cursed Lands, broken regions scarred by ancient wars of the Fallen Gods. Only Few people survive long in these wastelands, but whispers persist that they hold secrets the Dominion fears. It is here that Dorian's journey begins. A man scarred by loss and carrying the black flame within his veins, he wanders from the Dominion's broken outposts into the forgotten wilds. The black flame is no ordinary gift-it binds and burns, a curse as much as it is a weapon. His body bears tattoos that shift and spread with each growth of essence, marking him as different. Dorian does not yet understand why he has been chosen. He only knows that he is being hunted for it. This is the story of vengeance, where both sides has to burn. Either they will burn each other or they will burn this world to ashes. If you like what i do. Please support me. Link in bio.
The Hollow Crown
In the city of Veilrest, where shadows breathe and nightmares walk, power is a curse disguised as a gift. The once-glorious kingdom has been rotting from within, its throne left vacant after the royal bloodline was slaughtered in the dark of a moonless night. Now, the land festers under the rule of a nameless tyrant-one whose face is never seen, only felt in the whispers of the cursed and the screams of the vanished. Kastor Veyne never wanted to be a hero. With a metal-forged leg replacing what was lost to Veilrest's cruelty, he's learned that survival is the closest thing to victory. But when a prophecy names him as the rightful heir to the Hollow Crown, he's dragged into a war of monsters and gods-one he never asked to fight. By his side is Silas, a rogue with ink-stained hands and secrets older than the kingdom itself, and Lysara, a necromancer with a grudge against the living and an even greater hatred for fate. As Kastor unearths the city's buried horrors, he discovers that the Hollow Crown is not a throne-it's a prison. And the only way to break free might be to embrace the darkness he's spent his whole life running from. But power always comes with a price. And Kastor is about to learn what it means to lose everything.Complete

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.
