Cursed by fire. Hunted by fate. Chosen by a power the world fears.
Branded with a mark that once plunged the realm into chaos, Kael has spent his life hidden in the shadows of Ashmere Village until he became Embraced, forcing him into a world that once tried to erase his bloodline.
In a world ruled by six elemental guilds, Kael must fight for survival among warriors who control lightning, flame, earth, water, wind, and spirit. But beneath the academy's towering spires, something darker stirs, enemies from guilds, monstrous creatures, and a prophecy tied to Kael's cursed soul.
As war creeps closer, Kael discovers a forbidden power sleeping within him... one that could awaken the gods, or burn the world to ash.
Can he master it before it masters him? Or will he become the weapon the guilds fear most?
An academy of elemental warriors. A cursed legacy. And an ancient war rising from the shadows.
Perfect for fans of Naruto, Avatar The Last Airbender, and Attack on Titan, Kael Ashborne: Born of Ashes is a fast-paced fantasy saga of power, identity, and the fire that refuses to die.

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.
The Last Veinblade: Shards of the Titans
The Storm Titan has fallen, but its death has shaken the world. Kael and the hunters of Bonewall carry their scars into a new war - one that stretches beyond broken spires and ash-stained plains. The Titans left more than bones in their wake: they left weapons, shards of their power, scattered across the realms. Each shard is a promise of victory... or ruin. Ignis and the Ash Forge march to claim them, with Veyran rising from the shadows, his crown-bound faith unbroken. To stop them, Kael and his companions must leave the safety of Stormspire, crossing seas and cursed lands, chasing myths that may be more dangerous than their enemies. But the Veinblade is changing. Its stormlight fuses deeper into Kael's blood, pulling him toward a fate he doesn't yet understand. Allies will be tested. Bonds will fray. And in the hunt for the shards of the Titans, one truth becomes clear: to wield a god's weapon is to risk becoming its next sacrifice.Complete

The Last Veinblade
In a world built from the corpses of titans, humanity survives behind marrow walls and bone fortresses, clinging to the ruins of dead gods. Kael, a scavenger with nothing to his name, stumbles upon a relic buried deep within the bones: a broken hilt that hums with a heartbeat not his own. The weapon grants him power beyond imagining-at a cost. With each swing, it steals from his life, binding him to a fate as cursed as it is heroic. Drafted into an expedition to cross the Stormspire, Kael joins a mismatched band of hunters: a cold-blooded captain, a reckless swordsman, a too-eager rookie, a healer who sees through his walls, and a merciless warrior whose blades have never failed. Together, they march into the graveyard of gods. But the titans are not as dead as the world believes. Storms walk. Shadows breathe. And in the heart of the world, the strongest titan still waits-its pulse echoing inside Kael's chest. To save what remains of humanity, Kael must master the Veinblade... even if it means burning out his heart and becoming the last of his kind. The Last Veinblade is an epic tale of sacrifice, survival, and the price of power-where every heartbeat brings its wielder closer to salvation... or ruinComplete

Blood Oath
Pandora is a world bound by ancient laws, where clans survive through fragile alliances and the spirits of nature listen in silence. Here, power is paid for in blood, and love between leaders can become an act of war. Zay'nari, the Tsahik and queen of her clan, is known as The Moonborn Queen and The First and the Final Light. The stars answer her call, and the night itself seems to bend to her will. She knows a great power sleeps within her, but its true nature - and the secrets of her origin - remain hidden. When awakened, they may change Pandora forever. Varkhan, feared as the Bonebreaker, is the leader of a rival clan shaped by war. His strength is merciless, his will unyielding. He is neither hero nor tyrant, but a weapon forged by fire and necessity. Their clans have never been allies. Fire and night do not unite by choice. When a greater threat forces the clans into an uneasy alliance, a bond between Zay'nari and Varkhan becomes forbidden - dangerous enough to shatter the fragile balance holding Pandora together.

An Accord for Development (An Elden Ring Two-Shot)
"Arise now, ye Tarnished. Ye dead, who yet live. The call of long-lost grace speaks to us all!" It was a simple, yet grand purpose to those given a second chance by the Light of Grace. To become Elden Lord and claim the Elden Ring. Many would be emboldened by the flame of that ambition, and many more would perish at the hands of those who wished nothing more than to see the Tarnished dead. Such was the way things were in the Lands Between, shattered and fractured to the point of chaos between its residents. Only a select few would be guided by Grace, however only one would truly be gifted with something incredible. A gift that would render the physical well-being of a soul... unworried in the face of death. Yet the mind of that same individual would only be further damaged from it. So what did it mean to have true immortality? A blessing? Or merely a foul curse in disguise? One Tarnished warrior would grow bitter to it nonetheless, all the while cherishing the one gift he truly had. A friend. One he would do anything to protect, and one he would grow to love in spite of fate itself. This is an Elden Ring Two-Shot story; a Male reader X Melina story.

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
