In a realm fractured by power, bloodlines, and buried gods, seventeen-year-old Xandria has never known peace-only the cold steel of her blades and the weight of a mother's death she's never stopped blaming on the Saints.
Haunted by a legacy she didn't ask for and drawn into a rebellion known as the Illiax, Xandria is forced to navigate a world of ancient magic, brutal tournaments, and ruthless ambition. Her closest friend, Demetrius, is slipping into darkness; her mentor hides lethal secrets; and the mysterious Saint Erebus-god, murderer, myth-may hold the key to everything she's lost.
As alliances shift and the crown tightens its grip, Xandria must decide if she's a weapon to be wielded or a force to be reckoned with. But when love, vengeance, and fate collide, the question isn't whether she'll survive.
It's who she'll become when everything burns.

Scales of Justice (gxg)
Since the death of both sets of her parents, Fynnith has lived far to the northwest, in the orcish fighting pits of Argul Kar after being taken as a prisoner when just a child. Having survived as the most feared fighter in the pits for over a dozen years, her mental health has increasingly deteriorated to the point where she is constantly hearing a voice in her head telling her to break out of the stone cell she sleeps in between fights, as she had a destiny to fulfill. After blacking out when the voice finally got too loud, she wakes up on a dirt road in a land she doesn't recognize. With an uncertain future, she looks to restart her life, not knowing that events beyond her knowledge have already started to move in ways that will force her to fight for things that the fighting pits never could have prepared her for. After all, a battle for love isn't always as direct as that with a sword. Or, maybe it is? TW: People will die, blood will spill, and there may be a little smut (if you're lucky!)Complete
The Drowned Legacy Sample (The Immortal Bonds Series Book 1)
Rhea has always felt the pull of the sea-a magnetic, unyielding connection that whispers promises of secrets buried deep within its waves. When a raging storm devastates her coastal village and leaves her family lost to its depths, Rhea's life becomes defined by grief and unanswered questions. Haunted by vivid dreams of a mysterious figure and the constant ache in her chest, she begins to wonder if the ocean is calling her for a reason she's not ready to understand. The answers arrive unexpectedly, as the god of the sea himself, Poseidon, emerges from the waters to claim that Rhea is bound to his realm and to a power she cannot yet comprehend. Her mother, Astraea-a priestess of the sea-once stood against Erebus, the primordial god of darkness who now threatens to consume both the mortal and immortal worlds. Poseidon believes Rhea is the key to restoring the balance that Erebus seeks to destroy. But the journey is far from simple. Shunned by her village and burdened by her past, Rhea struggles with the weight of her destiny, her growing connection to Poseidon, and the dangerous allure of the shadows beneath the waves. As the threads of her fate intertwine with the gods, Rhea must navigate treacherous waters-both within herself and the depths beyond-and choose whether to embrace the ocean's call or risk losing everything she loves. A tale of storms, sacrifice, and unbreakable bonds, The Drowned Legacy weaves dark fantasy with Greek mythology to tell an epic story of love, redemption, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

A Chronicles of the Fantasia Continent
Two divine sisters tore a newborn world apart-and left mortals to decide its fate. From the Creator's dream rose Aeliana, Goddess of Dawn and order, and Nyx, Queen of Shadows and possibility. Their rivalry, once a distant celestial dance, became open war. Lesser gods chose sides. The sisters descended and forged champions: the radiant Aethra and the fearsome Umbrals-masterworks so specialized that, in some gifts, they rivaled their makers. Stars went dark. The earth split. In grief and fury, the Creator bound His daughters deep beneath the world. The land took a new name: Aethelgard-the God-Prison. But their armies fought on. Seeking balance, the Creator spent his last spark to make Humanity-creatures of compassion and cruelty, capable of mediating light and shadow, and, through discipline, of climbing toward godhood itself. Apotheosis became the ultimate mortal dream. A thousand years of uneasy peace followed. Ambition broke it. The War of a Hundred Races redrew the map in blood. From the ruins rose seven powers, with fragile city-states between them. In secret, Aethra and Umbrals manipulated the living like pieces on a board. Now the stalemate frays. Old songs stir. Hidden weapons wake. Heroes and monsters-sometimes the same-move in the dark to claim a future neither goddess could foresee. Welcome to Aethelgard, where gods are buried, mortals reach for heaven, and one choice can unmake a world.
