Aliana never believed in myths until the day they came to life.
When the ancient Greek gods' sacred tribes reveal their existence to her, she learns her destiny is far from ordinary: she is the heir to the throne of Alphenia, a tribe charged with protecting the human world from mythical creatures.
But fate is never simple and love is unpredictable; it knows no dividing lines and your other half may be hiding in the most unlikely place or even... in the face of your rival.
For Aliana that is the case.
When she meets Hector, the magnetic and enigmatic heir to Arenia, the rival tribe her people have battled for centuries, forbidden love and her duty to her tribe collide.
What is her fate after all? Is it what she's been told or something different?
Could she be walking toward Hades without even knowing?

Death's Illusion
Her family named her - "Heir". The prophecy named her - "Death". Most named her - "Enemie". Alina Corundum's quiet life of observation is shattered. The ancient legend of "Life and Death", told for generations in her world, Agath, is awakening, and with the stories comes a terrible truth: actions have consequences, and a debt, centuries old, is now due.

A hidden rot plagues their city, a threat woven from illusions and manipulations that threatens to consume everything they hold dear. To survive, they must learn to see the truth behind the lies. Must learn to read between the lines. But in a world where perception is a double edge sword, the most dangerous lie might be the one they told themselves.

Deck of Fate
Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it. She has no desire to become a Diamond, with their supernatural intelligence, or a Heart with elemental magic, or Gods forbid, one of those pretentious special-powered Spades. She has always been resigned to serving the symbols she loathes, hoping to escape poverty and provide a better life for her mother. But when the Assembly brands her as a Spade, Elora's world is upended. Thrust into a deadly training base where survival is a test of will, she must navigate a world of privilege and power while grappling with her own prejudices. Rhiya Evergreen, Elora's best friend, has long dreamed of escaping Umbralyn, their shared city of the powerless. When assigned to serve one of the most prestigious families in Arcana, she believes she's found her way out. But her newfound life of luxury comes at a cost, as she uncovers dangerous secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she wanted. As Elora and Rhiya's paths diverge, they must navigate the truth about their society, their symbols, and themselves. When the Clubs disappear and Arcana's fragile balance of power starts to crack, Elora and Rhiya must choose between embracing their new roles or dismantling the system that defines them.
The Story of The Sun & Moon
One born to burn. One born to vanish. Two brothers fated to rise as gods... and fall as legends. Thirteen-year-old Arsene Zagros has always dreamed of the Day of Selection. Of standing beside his twin brother, of watching history unfold, of seeing the divine descend from the heavens to name their chosen. He never imagined that fate would arrive without a sound. Without mercy. Without warning. On the eve of celebration, something breaks. Something dies. And Arsene- smiling, curious, unaware- wakes into a world that feels the same... but isn't. In a realm where spirits haunt the night, where gods hide among mortals, and where the cost of destiny is more than just a name- a boy blessed with innocence will soon learn: Not all choices are seen. Not all guardians are ready. And not all stories begin with the truth. Author's Note: This is my first story and is based on a D&D campaign I've taken inspiration from long ago. If you enjoy fantasy, twin dynamics, and slow-burning mystery, I hope you'll give it a read.
