The continent of Nharuun is divided by the Bone Forest, a petrified woodland stretching for hundreds of miles. The trees are fossilized, white as marble, and hum with dormant magic. No one enters and returns unchanged-if they return at all.
Legend says the forest was once alive, ruled by a Coven of Druid-Queens who made a pact with the earth itself. They gave up their mortality to bind wild magic and protect the balance between life and death.
Now, the balance is breaking.

Life After Death (Book 1 of After Death Trilogy)
COMPLETED! First book of the After Death Trilogy. --------------------------- My life ended with a stupid fall. My afterlife began in a monster-infested realm called Injusto. --------------------------- I always thought Death would be peaceful. An end to the struggle, the pain, the quiet exhaustion of just existing. I was so wrong. I woke up in Injusto, a realm of lost souls and terrifying creatures, and learned that death wasn't an end, but a violent, chaotic second chance. Here, survival is a daily battle, and god-like Ethereals bestow cryptic blessings that feel more like burdens. My only plan was to not die a second, even more embarrassing, time. Then he appeared. Krin, a stoic Dragon-Lord from a secret, floating sanctuary. He saved me, offering a glimpse of something I thought was lost forever: hope. My second chance is turning into an epic quest I'm not ready for. And I'm not sure I'll ever be. ========== Copyright Copyright © 2025 by Claire Burns. All rights reserved.

The Ashes of Wey
Before light bent the horizon, before names turned to dust, there was Kplir. A world of vast forests and iron peaks, of rival peoples bound by pacts older than fire. A world torn between stone and flesh, ritual and war. Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Orcs, Centaurs - five lineages as blind to each other as they were at war, each carrying its own demise without seeing it. Then a breath rose. Not a prophecy. Not a king. Something older. A name one dares not speak too loudly: Owa. He did not seek to unite. He sought nothing. He walked. And in his wake, the ground trembled - not with power, but with memory. For this is not the story of a hero. It is a crossing. A tear in the fabric of the world. This is the story of a world wearing thin. Of a world that remembers too much. The story of a felled tree whose roots still sing. Of a continent that falters and is reborn in fragments, between dead magic, sacred ash, and silences that carry seeds. The Ashes of Wey is not an ending. It is the last breath of an ancient world - and perhaps the first heartbeat of one yet to come.Complete

Her Curse...
Grey Ceru. Never thought his life would change. He always thought it would stay the same, boring and mundane. When he fell asleep at a sleepover with his friends, he woke up unexpectedly in the forest. With a girl he didn't know. That ended up spiraling into something....strange and amazing; the breaking of a curse. (Okay, this is...mediocre? I might rewrite it when I get older, but I'm okay with how it turned out for now.)Complete
NERALYTH: The Beginning
Life and death were separated... and the world is paying the price. The Tree of Souls is withering, and with it, the magic that sustains the realms of Primordialis.

Kalithea Neralyth, heir to the lineage of Life, refuses to accept the extinction of her people. Her search will lead her beyond forbidden boundaries, into the human world, where a faint echo of what Death once was still lingers. There, she will uncover the truth hidden for centuries: the exiled lineage still exists... and with it, a man who was never meant to return. © All rights reserved.Complete
Drekablóð Rising:Fire(Book 1)
The war that started it all. Five hundred years ago a war erupted in Elementa when humans started hunting a revered race called the Drekablóð; half humanoid, half dragon. The humans saw them as abominations for their differences; fear of a race more powerful than another makes others do rash and deadly things. After the humans slaughtered a whole settlement of Drekablóð, the magical creatures of Elementa rose up in defense of the Drekablóð. The humans likewise called on their dwarf and elf allies. Thus Bellum ex Quod Draco ipsos Troiugenas began. For ten long, bloody years the races fought hard for the future of the Drekablóð. One wanting to exterminate them like pest. The other wanting them to survive and flourish. In the end, the humans won, but their victory cost them and the rest of Elementa dearly. The alicorns and dwarves disappeared. The wyverns and elves were practically extinct. Dragons were a rare sight. Only the humans survived to tell the tale of how they wiped out the evil monsters that tried to take their lands. Elementa, originally a lush and beautiful land, was now split into four different climates, equally harsh in their own way. But the humans prevailed in cultivating Elementa and chasing away any remaining magical creatures into her far corners. With the resistance of magical creatures no longer in their way, the humans continued their 'sport' of hunting the Drekablóð into extinction. Half a millennium later, the seeress Carmentha foresaw the return of the Drekablóð, and restoring Elementa to her prime and defeating the wicked and harsh rulership of Elementa. These four children have been destined to save Elementa before they were ever born. Can they overcome their difficulties and save Elementa? Or will they fail and allow Elementa to fall into darkness forever? There will be some minimum swearing and minimum acts of violence. I would rate this book for 14 and up.Complete
