Ashes of the Eternal
She was once a god of flame, worshipped and feared in an age long buried. But when Mara awakens in the neon-lit streets of the modern world, her eternity feels like a dream half-remembered. The fire still burns within her-black and immortal-but cracks begin to form. Shadows whisper her name, enemies rise from forgotten myths, and mortals with secrets of their own are drawn into her orbit. Bound to a ruthless assassin who trusts no one, a golden boy with power he doesn't understand, and a circle of allies whose loyalty is never certain, Mara must fight not only the monsters stalking the city-but the fracture spreading through her own flame. Desire and betrayal walk hand in hand. Every choice costs blood. And in the end, the greatest threat may not be the darkness waiting in the shadows... but the god within her, desperate to break free.Complete

In grief, she found vengeance. In vengeance, she may lose herself. Dr. Lydia Allard wanted to heal. War taught her how to hunt. Eleven years after the Fae opened portals into Earth, sparking war and misery across human cities and wildlands. Lydia-once a leading physician studying the lethal residue of Fae magic-has already paid the war's highest price: her parents and her young daughter. When her brother's experimental portal briefly succeeds and is then destroyed to keep it from the wrong hands, the only path into the Fae realm is through the enemy's own magics. With a rogue team-including a half-Fae ally-Lydia plans a perilous infiltration: pass as Fae within a human-realm based war camp to be carried through the gates into the heart of their realm to find the one who took her very soul. But the deeper they go, the more the war's narrative unravels. The magic that mummifies the dead whispers of design, not chaos. Allegiances blur. And a hidden architect seems intent on feeding two worlds into the same fire. Driven by a mother's grief and a scientist's precision, Lydia must navigate knives, lies, and a power awakening in her own bloodline-before the true enemy turns both realms into kindling.

Devilcityfiles After the great collapse, the grand city of Argia remains a spiraling city that beacons all in the world to its walls. A land thought holy and cursed and the only place on earth where humanity has chained the devils that ended the world into their will. A city ruled by power, money, and souls. Where great criminal syndicates have gained the power of demons and bend reality to their will, but below it, a new force has arrived the demon hunt that aims to eradicate all demons within the city, they are the only ones that can kill that which cant be killed. To wage war against demons is to wage war again the city itself and to defeat their enemies they too will have to take on the cruel games of the city, money, power, and souls will call forth a hidden war within the streets. These are the chronicle of the devil hunters, the man, and woman that have decided to hunt the most powerful demonic rules of the impossible city by calling demons of their own. A vagabond that called for a demon to be unseen in the unforgiving city. A woman that shares her mind with a demon seeking the top of the grand city. A man whose body twisted into an inhuman shape all for the sake of vengeance. All of the hunters seek to destroy the evil within the city. When silent falls whose tale will be sung upon the sky of the city? Who will stand upon the top of the last bastion of humanity? A cruel hunt begins among those who sell their soul for the dreams shining on the grand city lights and those who wish to snuff out its light.
