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.

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

"How do you mourn the dead, when the world says they never existed?" In the Kingdom of Varkhaz... truth is dictated by the stroke of a brush, and history can be rewritten with a trace of ink. Feria Hagalder spent the first fourteen years of her life confined within a 'golden cage,' and the following four years as a 'ghost' hidden deep within the forest. She is the survivor of her family's massacre. Yet, what is far more terrifying than the edge of a blade is the fact that her family members were erased from every record, as if they had never existed in this world at all. But amidst the silence, Feria hears voices... They are the fragments of distorted memories, visions of things that do not exist, and echoing reminders that her 'identity' might not be the role she is currently playing. As vengeance begins to devour the "little lamb" mask she has forged, Feria must make a choice: remain hidden in the shadows for the rest of her life, or step back into the vortex of lies to reclaim her erased name. In a world where anomalies are an omen of doom... she is willing to become a demon to rewrite the truth with her own blood. 📖 What to Expect ✔ Dark Fantasy & Cosmic Horror ✔ Psychological Dread & Isolation ✔ The Mystery ✔ Ancient Gods & Eldritch Curses ✔ Slow Burn Character Growth ✔ Loss of Humanity ⚠️ Content Warnings ✔ Violence & Gore ✔ Psychological Trauma & Gaslighting ✔ Body Horror ✔ Dark/Mature Themes 📅 Update Schedule ✔ weekly Updates - every Wednesday & Sunday ★ Schedule Notice: Due to health issues, updates will be irregular.
