Summary
In the hidden coastal town of Aemara, magic lives quietly in the shadows-divided between the powerless elite of Solara and the gifted outcasts of Lunel.
Elly, a girl caught between both worlds, prefers to keep her head down. That is, until a 12-year-old fire-wielding boy named Leo warns her to flee-and hands her the most powerful secret in the world: Sage, a six-month-old baby destined to change everything.
With her partner Dexter, a mystery boy with a British accent and a storm behind his smile, Elly is forced to escape across the sea. Their only guidance? A sealed letter from Nonna, a tarot-reading seer who sees too much-and says too little. They don't know who they're running from. Or what the baby truly is.
But someone else knows. And she's coming for them.
From the glowing lanterns of Lunel to the lemon-lined cliffs of Sicily, Golden Waters is a breathtaking story of found family, magic, and the power that lives in the in-between.

MYTHIC LEGENDS: FLAME AND EMPIRE
The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

Magic is forbidden. Love is dangerous. Prophecy is absolute. Alex Corvus was born with a secret he cannot reveal-magic in a world that burns those who wield it. Hidden away in the quiet edges of Ravenwood, he lives between shadows and silence, watched over by his frail mother and the two friends who know the truth: Johnny, the reckless heir to a noble house, and Lyra, his sister, a scholar who believes in reason over faith. When Alex accepts an apprenticeship under the mysterious Lord Arnaut, his life changes forever. Arnaut is brilliant, unsettling, and far too kind to be trusted. Yet in his dark halls, Alex finds more than mentorship-he finds belonging... and something dangerously close to love. But the past never stays buried. The old servant, Dot, knows what Alex truly is-and what he will become. The Goddess whispers to him in dreams, guiding his hand toward a destiny written long before his birth. Bloodlines are not forgotten. Curses do not die. As the kingdom fractures and magic stirs beneath the throne, Alex's power grows-and so does something else, something alive within him, a secret too sacred to name. By moonlight, a prophecy awakens. By dawn, a king will burn. Author's Note: This is the Beta Version of The Fire Beneath the Throne. Chapters will be updated and refined over time.
