The mountains, grass, and water-that is all there is in the vast world... except at the Wellsprings.
Mankind clings to life around these miraculous, shifting sites-places where stone and precious metals erupt from the earth, where beasts and blessings pour forth in equal measure. Beneath them lie dungeons and mines, twisted labyrinths crawling with monsters and ancient relics. But when the Wellsprings recede, they leave behind the Blight, and all their gifts begin to rot. Magic turns sour. Beauty becomes horror. And still, mankind endures-bound to the lands of Lyvaris, kept alive by the Wellsprings... and imprisoned by them.
Auren is a hunter with no tribe, no loyalty, and a reputation for failure.
When he accepts a contract to retrieve the mythical Heartscale-a relic no one has ever claimed-he finds himself entangled in a struggle older than the cities themselves. The Heartscale is not a cure. It's a key.
It unlocks the truth behind the Wellsprings, and the Church will kill to keep it buried.
Armed with a soul-bound knife and haunted by the corpse he left behind, Auren must decide whether to flee the coming storm...
or break the chains that hold his world together

Sentinel
When your soul is hunted, you can't hide forever. Thousands of years ago, an evil known as the corruption seeped into the land.

Nineteen year old Skye has always known this. Living with demons on your doorstep is a constant fight for survival, but she’s determined to not become one of the corruption’s monsters. To keep her soul pure, no matter the cost. But with the Sentinels gone, betrayed by their own, it’s only a matter of time before the corruption seizes them all. When a scouting mission goes awry and Skye is taken prisoner, her blades can’t save her. Marked by the corrupted Sentinel, she waits for a fate worse than death to take hold. Only when the Silverborn, knights dedicated to fighting the corruption come to free her does something awaken within her. Something powerful. The power of a Sentinel. Celestial. Fire. Water. Nature. Shadow. None are safe from the corruption. *+*+*+*Complete
Astren
The dome, a sanctuary for many in a frozen hell of a planet called Aurelith, constructed and "maintained" by NeuroCore, a corrupt medical and pharmaceutical company gone mining exploitation of resources and people for yet unknown purposes. The people in it are known as the Moles. The dome is one of many other colonies around Aurelith, each working to the bone to fulfill the quotas assigned to them, with harsh punishments should they fail to succeed. Among them, one man, Viktor Lu'bierre, who arrived on this planet under mysterious circumstances 1 year prior, and his continued presence has stirred change for the people and parts of the world itself. No one knows what his purpose is, or what led him to Aurelith. And through comradery and collaboration, people still see him with an air of suspicion, well earned for his less than usual methods of "getting things done." The planet holds many secrets, buried between miles of ice and snow. Storm and electromagnetic anomalies hide the northern side of the planet, and what lies beyond the dead lands still remains unknown, as not even the best probes have been able to punch through the thick and mud of the thick, deadly hair up there.
