The Heartstone Journey
This is the tale of a mysterious hero who has lost his way-a man wandering through distant lands filled with terrifying monsters, fractured kingdoms, and gods who play with the fate of mortals. Known only as Hunter, this veteran of the unknown leaves behind fragments of his life in the pages of a diary, a record of battles against divine entities, ancient dragons, and the very balance of the world itself. His name is whispered across empires, feared by enemies, and remembered by the broken. Why does he fight? For vengeance, for redemption, or for something far greater? No one truly knows. But one truth remains certain: whatever Hunter sets his eyes upon, he will pursue it, even if it means defying the gods themselves. [The story will undergo a drastic rewrite for the first 4 Books once the entire story has officially concluded to make it coherent and readable(lol). This is the cause of me writing this close to 10 years ago and not making many changes. As you progress through the story the writing will slowly improve. Apologies if this makes you unwilling to read this story.] Feel free to leave criticism where needed anyway. Enjoy :) NOTE: NONE OF THE ART IN THIS STORY BELONGS TO ME AND BELONGS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS! (Except For The Maps!) THIS IS ONLY TO HELP VISUALIZE THE CHARACTERS AND THE WORLD WRITTEN!

In a land scorched by prophecy and ash, one guardian awakens on the edge of death - haunted by fire, hunted by shadow, and driven by a single memory: her. Caden was trained to protect the sacred. Bound to duty. Forbidden to love. But when the world begins to burn and unnatural horrors rise from the smoke, it is not the temple he clings to - it is the echo of her voice. "Come for me." With his past lost to flame and his future buried in smoke, Caden must rise from the ashes and forge a new fate. The Blade of Mimic has awakened. The hunt has begun. And somewhere beyond the inferno, she waits. This is the first in a series of connected short stories set in the world of my upcoming novel, The Dying of the Light. Each arc in Whispers of the Dying Light reveals deeper layers of forgotten legends, ancient powers, and the souls who shape the fate of this world. 🕕 New parts release weekly.

Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead. In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last. Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules. Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Complete
