She was born with fire in her blood, then left to burn alone.
Vexian was only a child when everything was taken from her. Her clan? Gone. Her home? Reduced to ash. Her name? Forgotten by all... Except those who still feared it. Beneath her scales sleeps a power that should have died generations ago: the Ashen Bloodline. A force so feared, even her allies don't speak its name.
She never asked to carry this legacy.
She never wanted to be a weapon.
She never WANTED to be a monster
But after years of hiding, running, bleeding and watching the few she loves suffer-Vex has stopped running. She's done hiding her rage. The ghosts of her past have returned, and this time... she's ready to face them.
As she fights to master her bloodline and protect the only soul who's ever seen her as more than a monster, Vex must confront what she's becoming. Can she hold onto herself while wielding the power that destroyed her family? Or will the same rage that saved her... consume her?
This is not a story of heroes.
This is the rise of the hunted. The reckoning of the forgotten.
This is Vex's war.
And not everyone will survive it.

The Age of Embers.
The Age of Embers. In the shadowed dawn of the world, before mortal tongues sang of sorrow or glory, dragons ruled the skies as stewards of balance, born of flame and memory. Among them, Ignis, the Eternal Flame, bore the wisdom of ages, upholding harmony between sacred fire and the ever-changing world. But where fire glows, shadow rises, and mankind emerged from dust with the will to choose, forging a fragile place in a world not made for them. What began in awe twisted into envy. Reverence soured into fear. And from fear, betrayal was born. Thus fell the dragons, hunted and broken beneath steel and pride. The noble Solis deceived. The wrathful Caelum struck down. And at last, only Ignis remained-her fate entwined with a queen, whose choices would echo into legend. Told in eight short, sweeping books, The Age of Embers is a tale of war and wisdom, of legacy and loss. It is the passing of an age... and the uncertain birth of another. Yet even as the fire dims, one ember endures. A dragon hatchling, Vaelith, born into silence and guided by a lone sage, awakens in the deep places of the world. And with him, a question rekindles: Can fire, once broken by fear, rise in understanding?Complete

💖The Doll of Piltover💖
The De Veyra family are Piltover's most powerful and mysterious dynasty - untouchable aristocrats who wear pastel smiles in public, but secretly wield the city's last true magic. Selene, the Diamond Swan, bends perception with illusions. Seraphina, the Velvet Devil, binds enemies with curses. Together, they crafted their empire in elegance and blood. And at the heart of their legacy stands their only daughter, Y/N De Veyra - the so-called Porcelain Doll of Piltover. To outsiders, Y/N is a sweet, bubbly noble girl: soft laughter, pastel dresses, and a naive charm that makes her Piltover's darling. In reality, she's bratty, venom-tongued, and terrifying. Raised as her mothers' angel and spoiled beyond reason, Y/N learned early that tantrums get results. When she's bored, she cuts nobles to pieces with her cussing, drops filthy innuendos she doesn't mean, or sparks tantrums so violent that people have died from her rage. To Piltover, she's an angel. To anyone who's crossed her, she's the devil wrapped in lace. Though the family presents themselves as neutral socialites, whispers say their guards have been seen in Zaun's Last Drop bar, conducting business with the undercity's leaders. The truth is, the De Veyras' power stretches deeper than anyone suspects. They fund, manipulate, and control from the shadows - and Y/N, bratty though she is, has inherited both her mothers' cruelty and their magical gifts. She walks the line between spoiled princess and terrifying heir, a doll who can smile sweetly while deciding whether you live or die. As the events of Arcane unfold, Y/N becomes the glittering center of obsession for Piltover and Zaun alike.

That there is something coursing in his veins that isn't just blood. Drawn to him in a way, Syerin can't understand, will the trials be her end? Or will the war that she fights against her feelings do it for her? Allies become enemies, love and betrayal blur into one, and the mark's power begins to consume her. To survive, Syerin must decide: Will she embrace the curse that could save Velthar or destroy it?Complete
The Thorned Rose
A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead. And Rose Sorrengail has spent her entire life making sure she will be neither. Born strong where her twin sister Violet was fragile, Rose is a force forged in fire-bold, brutal, and unrelenting. While Violet stumbles unwillingly into the Riders Quadrant, Rose charges forward, determined to carve out her own legend within Basgiath War College. But surviving Conscription Day is just the beginning. In a world where strength is currency and dragons don't bond with the weak, Rose quickly becomes known-for her precision, her ruthlessness... and the trail of blood left in her wake. Her enemies fear her. Her instructors warn about her. And Xaden Riorson-lethal wingleader with shadows in his eyes-can't seem to stay away. With war looming, and a rare power awakening within her, Rose must decide what kind of rider she'll become-and what she's willing to sacrifice to protect what's hers. In Basgiath, only the ruthless survive. And Rose Sorrengail was born to conquer.
Veil Of Ash
The Bovi people have never been accepted. Marked by traits that set them apart from the rest of humanity, they are shunned, feared, and branded as monsters. Denied peace and survival, they are forced into the shadows, relying on acts of terror to strike back at a world that would see them erased. Their resistance, desperate and violent, ignites a war with a powerful neighboring empire. Into this storm steps Vespera, a young soldier fresh from training, loyal to her Emperor and determined to prove herself. But the battlefield is nothing like the order and honor she was promised. She finds herself caught in the blood-soaked middle ground, where assassinations, ambushes, and massacres are tools of survival-and no side's hands are clean. As the war escalates, Vespera is pulled deeper into the gray spaces between duty and morality. The Bovi fight for existence, the Empire for dominance, and she is forced to bear witness to the corruption of ideals she once believed unshakable. Her faith in the Emperor-revered as incorruptible and just, begins to waver with every shadowed truth revealed. Now, Vespera must choose: remain the loyal soldier and blind herself to the blood on her hands, or risk everything to confront the possibility that the true monster may not be the Bovi at all... but the very Empire she swore to protect.
