The Revenant's Gospel

Pain is devotion. Suffering is scripture. And a god's will is written in blood.
Veylen was once a man-a mortal executioner who thought death was the end. But the chains of the goddess Xujho proved otherwise. Bound by her will, shaped by self-inflicted torment, he was torn apart and rebuilt into something greater. Now, as Veylen the Penitent, the Priest of Thorns, and the Voice of Xujho, he walks the world once more, preaching a gospel of pain and zealotry in her name.
To those who listen, he is salvation.
To those who resist, he is judgment.
But when Lyara, a young scholar obsessed with the legend of the Revenant, crosses his path, she sees something more-a man behind the martyrdom, a broken soul beneath the priestly mask. Drawn to his knowledge and devotion, she begins to question if the faith she has sought all her life was waiting for her in the eyes of this scarred, enigmatic priest.
As Veylen leads her deeper into the abyss of Xujho's doctrine, Lyara must decide-will she pull him back to his forgotten humanity, or will she fall to her knees and offer herself to the same fate?
A tale of divinity, suffering, and the thin line between faith and obsession
When does worship become surrender?

Gamleon's Tail ~ Welcome to the worlds of : Within ~
I wrote this for EVERYONE. To appeal to anyone that reads ANY genre. It combines almost all of them. It's an introduction to the Worlds of Within universe. When you get to the action parts (which doesn't take long) you should be invested enough to want to unravel the mysteries and enjoy its intrigue... The flood is raging. A terrifying, heartless mountain of water, swallowing the world . The tunnel networks? Of course, that won't save them. The forests? Like leaves in a breeze. The lookout towers and trade hubs? Gone. Washed clean. Every home, every last trace of what once was. Gamleon is the first to see it ... and survive. His mind is near collapse, his heart broken. He runs. What would YOU do? What could anyone do? Some scrape by in a mythological setting of beasts and medieval men. Cruel, literally cold-blooded Gorgon hordes enforce an absolute rule slithering in the tunnels beneath the feet of every kingdom. There is an isolated, forgotten place. A cavern, magnificent and vast, older than civilization. A place where the weird and the unwanted might ride out this cataclysm if Gamleon can stay alive long enough to get them there.. In this special place, something incredible, cut off from the outside, lurks. Something... you won't be ready for or ever expect. Gamleon, our weary adventurer, is a paradox: terrifying to some perhaps, yet his heart and intent is helpful, with a quiet dignity bordering on noble, intimidating and innately intelligent. The only way back out is to navigate the Gorgon tunnels. Join him, won't you ? Share his inner thoughts . See and feel how they help us all learn how to persist and triumph in spite of a world where everything is stacked against us. ( sound familiar, it should.) Join him and be swept away as he encounters or invents never-before-seen innovations and outrageous challenges. Dignity meets hope. Self-respect shines beyond courage. Welcome my friend to the Worlds of Within.
Shadows of Fate
"Shadows of Fate" Ezryn's life has always been overshadowed by fear. The night his mother murdered his father, he swore he would never become like her. But the darkness that claimed her seems to pulse within him, a legacy he can't outrun. In a world where fate is written in the stars, Ezryn believes he is doomed to follow the same tragic path-no matter how far he runs. Solivian, a young man whose quiet determination stirs something in Ezryn, refuses to let him fall into isolation. But as their bond grows, Ezryn's past becomes a weight too heavy to ignore, pulling him into dangerous territory. Solivian's unwavering support offers a glimpse of hope, but the truth of who Ezryn is-and what he's capable of-remains elusive. Lirael, Ezryn's long-time best friend, knows there's more to him than he lets on. Her relentless curiosity forces Ezryn to confront pieces of his past he'd rather forget, but the deeper she digs, the more he fears she'll uncover something neither of them can handle. What if the truth is more than either of them can survive? As the shadows of his past draw nearer, Ezryn is faced with an impossible choice: will he succumb to the same fate he's been running from, or will he find a way to break free? The answers may not be what he expects-and not everyone is who they appear to be. In Shadows of Fate, the lines between destiny and choice blur as Ezryn fights against a past he can't escape and a future he can't predict. Will the truth set him free-or destroy everything he holds dear?Zakończone

Determined to fulfill her part of the deal, she dives into her mission. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes nothing is as simple as it seems.

The Last Prophet of Enia
Ophilanna was born to a tribe of elves. She had her mother's love, that was enough to satisfy the little girl. One day, her estranged father, a human man she'd never known or seen, comes knocking on the tribe's doors, burning it to the ground. In the process, he wounds and kills Ophilanna's mother. Distraught over her the loss, she runs away into the forest, where she passes out. Waking up in a city she's never been to, in the country of Silvale, Ophilanna swears on revenge, not knowing this quest will take her across half the world and through other dimensions, becoming the very last prophet of a Goddess forgotten by time, who is being framed for a taboo she never broke. First the nightmares, then a Goddess she's never met. Ophilanna can achieve her goal, but to what end...?

Y/N had long since perfected the art of hiding the cracks in her heart, a quiet ache that lingered beneath the surface, unnoticed by the world around her. Trust had been shattered too many times, leaving behind only the remnants of love she once gave so freely. The weight of solitude clung to her like a second skin, and each day she walked through life as though she were a ghost, watching the world pass by, yearning for something she couldn't quite reach. But when the night embraced her, when sleep whispered its soft lullaby, everything changed. In the silence of her dreams, something shifted-though her eyes could not see, her heart felt it. It was a presence, gentle yet unyielding, that made her believe, just for a moment, that there was more to life than the ache she carried. A presence that whispered in the stillness, as though it had always known her, waiting in the spaces where dreams met reality. In that sacred space, between waking and sleeping, Y/N began to feel the warmth of something new. It was not a dream, but something more-a promise, tender yet powerful, that whispered softly to her soul. "I can't promise you a perfect world, but in this moment, let me be the one who never lets you go." In The Dreamer's Embrace, Y/N begins a journey where the weight of silence starts to lift, revealing a connection she never expected-a love, not of fantasy, but something she's always longed for. Will she open her heart to this strange, beautiful presence, or will the weight of her past keep her trapped in the shadows?
LET IT ALL BURN | Book 2
The narrative has given them another chance, a new page to rewrite their story. A new timeline. A new chance. Is history bound to repeat itself? - 'The blood of the butterfly had laced into her veins, burning into a longing, a yearning as ancient as time itself.' Katya Hawthorne doesn't know how to love. Duty, sacrifice, martyrdom--that is her destiny. Her frozen heart only knows her younger cousins, nothing and no one else, not even herself. But now they aren't here, and she is forced to confront the truths lying beneath the ice. Theo Hawthorne only knows how to be a chairman and the eldest Hawthorne cousin. Ruthless, powerful, warm to his younger cousins--that is all he is. Without their younger cousins, with only her, he must face the truest desires of his heart. He must face what it means to truly feel, what his ruthlessness will become when flooded with a love the likes of which his soul has never felt. But in the pursuit of rewriting history, they risked repeating it with their own two hands. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily whirl into faithless devotion. - [Book 2 of the House of Butterflies series]
