BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.Complete

The Rune of the Forge: Rebirth in the Lands Between
He died in a workshop, proud of his last creation - a flawless necklace shaped by his own hands. The next second, a gun barrel and two words ended everything: "Nothing personal." When he wakes again, it isn't in the world he knew. The air tastes too alive, the flowers glow too brightly, and the face in the pond is not his own. Obsidian skin. Hair braided like flame. Eyes molten, swirling with fire. Worse - he's a child again. This is the Hinterland, home of the Shaman Village... and the birthplace of Marika, the girl who will one day ascend as goddess of the Golden Order. She is a child too, curious and alone. In this quiet village, an unlikely friendship forms: the girl of fate and the boy of ash. But fate is never gentle. The Hornsent, zealots of the Crucible, will raid the village in fire and blood. Thoryn will fall, his body crumbling to ash and seeping into the earth... only to return centuries later, reforged by the world itself. By then, Marika will no longer be the girl he knew. She will be queen, goddess, and tyrant of Order. And Thoryn Ashblood, the boy reborn in obsidian and flame, will carry his own Rune - the Rune of the Forge - to stand as her rival. Creation or Order. Rebirth or Permanence. The Forge or the Erdtree. The Lands Between will burn anew.

The Cursed Prince
In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete
