Long ago, the gods shattered the world. They cursed the Six Thrones - kings and queens of flame, forest, mountain, and sea - binding them to rule in division and distrust. But now, the old magic stirs again.
And she walks among them.
Rina Willowmere, raised in the quiet hush of a forgotten village, was born of shadows and silence - with a mother lost to madness, and a crescent-thorn scar that now burns like fire. When myths begin to whisper her name, and creatures born of starlight rise from slumber, Rina learns the truth buried in her blood: she is no mere girl.
She is the Echo of a Goddess, heir to a divine legacy, and the final key to a prophecy that could mend the fractured realms... or doom them to eternal night.
But Rina is not alone in fate's eye. The prophecy speaks of three daughters of the divine - the Serpent Queen of the Seas, the Star-Blooming Seer of the Elves, and the Girl with the Thornmark. One of them is destined to awaken the Last Blade... and face the beast.
A beast made not by gods, but by a man.
Vrexolith, the world-eater - wings stitched from shadow, hunger born of gods - was created by Vaeron, the Dragon-Lord, in a time before memory. And only his blade, Drakmyr, forged in dragonfire and quenched in the blood of his own father, can end it.
But the sword sleeps. And to awaken it, six relics must be claimed - weapons of power held by each of the cursed rulers:
Azran's Heartshard Fang - the bloodcurse of the undead
Nyria's Tideglass Tear - truth drawn from sea and sorrow
Grothar's Obsidian Spine - the shattering force of mountains
Bregon's Runehammer Core - the order of flame and forge
Elvyra's Thornlight Bloom - nature's truth and fae-born light
Vaeron's Soulbrand Ember - divine fire torn from his own heart
Only when the blade drinks from all six can it burn away curses, pierce godflesh, and sever fate.

The Rune of the Forge: Rebirth in the Lands Between
He died in a workshop, proud of his last creation - a flawless necklace shaped by his own hands. The next second, a gun barrel and two words ended everything: "Nothing personal." When he wakes again, it isn't in the world he knew. The air tastes too alive, the flowers glow too brightly, and the face in the pond is not his own. Obsidian skin. Hair braided like flame. Eyes molten, swirling with fire. Worse - he's a child again. This is the Hinterland, home of the Shaman Village... and the birthplace of Marika, the girl who will one day ascend as goddess of the Golden Order. She is a child too, curious and alone. In this quiet village, an unlikely friendship forms: the girl of fate and the boy of ash. But fate is never gentle. The Hornsent, zealots of the Crucible, will raid the village in fire and blood. Thoryn will fall, his body crumbling to ash and seeping into the earth... only to return centuries later, reforged by the world itself. By then, Marika will no longer be the girl he knew. She will be queen, goddess, and tyrant of Order. And Thoryn Ashblood, the boy reborn in obsidian and flame, will carry his own Rune - the Rune of the Forge - to stand as her rival. Creation or Order. Rebirth or Permanence. The Forge or the Erdtree. The Lands Between will burn anew.
BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.Complete

Of Dragon and Sorrows - Book 1
A Kingdom Forged in Blood. A War Born of Lies. A Destiny Written Beneath the Moon.** For ten long years, the Noble Houses of Devraen and the Tribe of the Sea have drowned the North in frost and fury. What began as a single act of violence has become a war of pride, grief, and vengeance - a war no one truly understands. When the battlefield falls silent and the last embers die, Meher - the fallen heir of the Tribe of the Sea - must kneel before the king he once swore to destroy. With lives bleeding out behind him and his honor in chains, he accepts a bitter truth: Sometimes, peace demands more courage than war. But Devraen is not built on mercy. Beneath golden crowns and sacred banners, shadows move. Truth is twisted. Allegiances rot. And a serpent in black armor smiles beneath a borrowed light. As Meher and Amane uncover whispers of a hidden force - one that fueled the conflict for its own design - they must choose: Serve the kingdom that shattered them... or expose a darkness ancient as the snow, patient as the sea. Loyalties will break. Secrets will rise. And the North will learn: Not all enemies wield swords. Some wear crowns. Some offer peace. And some... are born in shadow.
