History happens. We rarely get to choose it.
And when it does, it reshapes Lyriel and Florian in ways they could never have anticipated.
They must fight to stay human in a world that treats souls like coal for a fire-
but some cinders are strong enough to break the furnace.
Because even the biggest fires die when the fuel runs out.
Hi, I'm Nicolai Ene. I'm writing Souls of Aurellia as a love letter to the parts of us that refuse to become cruel-no matter what the world demands.
Expect: epic fantasy, soul-killing horrors, political predators, and a bond that refuses to be reduced to fuel.

Pana: Flight from the Past
What happens when you try to tell your story, but no one is willing to listen to you? You run. Thousands of years before, the cataclysm destroyed the world. In a barrage of miniature apocalypses manufactured by the most powerful government in the world, the moon was torn apart, ice sheets expanded from the north, entire communities were systematically poisoned, the rainforests were burned. Thousands of years before that, magical stones with the ability to protect life were created and scattered throughout civilization. Now, Pana and their friend, the timid yet trustworthy dragon Waveskimmer, find one of those stones. Pana has only ever known the frozen northern village they were born in, but when they are forced to flee their home after an unfortunate misunderstanding, they discover that the world is bigger than they could have imagined, and that there are other pockets of survivors out there who are all facing their own hardships. Together with Waveskimmer, they begin traveling the world, meet new people, and try their best to undo the mistakes of the past. But when their own past catches up with them, the fate of the world is thrown into jeopardy once more.Complete

Desiderium
Signs of a great impending drought spread across a kingdom with a king too afraid to acknowledge them. The mechanisms meant to prevent this inevitable collapse began to fail, and a fringe movement arose. The reverants believed the only way to survive the coming mass extinction was through ruthless population control. Under the orders of their messiah, the White Lady, they took matters into their own hands, executing anyone who failed to make what they deemed a meaningful contribution to society. Wattle, a young woman from the capital, Townsend, is forced to join the army after her mother dies tragically in a house fire. Slowly, she begins to see that all is not as it seems: the King is hiding secrets, and the White Lady's influence stretches into places she should never be able to reach. At the same time, the young prince, Malin, must confront his father's failures and find a way to enact change in a world dictated by the relentless calculus of power. Yet beneath the chaos, the fear, and the cruelty lies something unshakable: the quiet, unwavering goodness of humanity. It survives in small acts, in love that refuses to be extinguished, in laughter, tenderness, and the care we give one another despite the corruption around us. It is this fragile yet indomitable goodness that can outlast the most terrible schemes, proving that the capacity to love, even in a world bent on destruction, is the most powerful force of all.
