Kael Ardyn has died a thousand times.
Cursed to be reborn across the ages, he remembers every life he's lived-every triumph, every failure, every death. In each lifetime, the same shadow rises: a being of darkness known only as the Warlord, destroying everything Kael loves. No matter how hard he fights, history repeats.
But in his newest life, something has changed. Born with a strange sigil glowing faintly on his chest and fragments of power he's never known, Kael begins to see glimpses of a truth hidden across centuries-a truth that could finally break the cycle.
To do so, he must unravel the secrets of forgotten gods, forge unbreakable bonds in a world on the brink of war, and face the darkness that has hunted him since the dawn of time.
The question is no longer if he can win...
It's whether he can bear what victory will cost.

SUCK
I'm a vampire allergic to blood, and they say vampires are immortal. They fucking lied. A stake to the heart? Cute. The truth is blood-our own. Feeding on vampires keeps you eternal. Fall in love with a mortal (with them loving you back) and immortality unravels-first your fangs, then your power, then your life. For me, Auren Vale, that sounds like salvation. Two hundred years is too long to suffer when every drop of blood burns like fire. I'm ready to end it all. Then I meet Sienna Moren-the girl whose blood feels like poison and paradise. Loving her could kill me. Protecting her could destroy us all. And I've never wanted anything more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣄⡴⠚⠛⢶⡋⠁⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠴⠶⢶⣏⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠙⢦⠀⠀⠘⢧⠀⠈⢷⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠙⢧⡀⠀⠀⠘⣧⠀⣀⣼⠧⡤⠴⠻⢦⡀⠸⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣠⠟⠙⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢷⠶⠶⠚⠉⠉⠉⠀⢰⠇⠀⠀⡼⠙⢦⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⣼⠃⠀⣠⠟⣹⠶⣄⡀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡟⠀⠀⡼⠁⣤⣄⠁⠀⠀ ⢰⠇⠀⣸⠃⡴⠃⠀⠈⠛⣦⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣆⡀⠘⠳⣤⣸⡌⢳⡄⠀ ⣼⠀⢀⡟⢰⠇⠀⠀⢤⡀⠙⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⡄⠀⠉⢻⡇⠈⢷⡀ ⣿⠀⢼⠃⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣆⢀⣼⠧⣄⠈⣇ ⢿⠀⠘⢦⡙⠳⣤⣀⣼⠀⠈⣧⠀⣀⡀⢀⣠⣤⣤⡶⠛⠛⢻⠀⠀⣿⠀⢻ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠙⠶⣤⠉Complete
Roots of Eternity
The world as he knew it ended in fire and ash. Kael, the last survivor of an apocalyptic cataclysm, dies alone-only to be reborn as a demonic tree, rooted between life and death. Stripped of human joy and left with an endless sorrow, he discovers a hidden realm: the Spirit World. There, by chance, he finds the Club of Shadows, a mysterious place where knowledge flows and secrets are currency. As Kael navigates this strange world, he learns he can manipulate the bonds between humans, creating connections and shaping destinies-but at a cost: he cannot feel the emotions that bind them. Haunted by the past yet driven to change, Kael must explore the depths of power, unravel the mysteries of 30 human affinities, and decide how far he is willing to go to shape the future. Dark, mysterious, and morally complex, Roots of Eternity is a story about loss, rebirth, and the choices that define who we become.

ASHFALL (A dystopian novel)
The world ended in fire. The lies came after. Twenty years after the last great war, what's left of humanity survives under the Dominion- An iron-fisted regime that controls the only clean air left on earth. The surface is a wasteland of ash, storms, and death.... or so everyone's been told. Kael Draven once enforced the Dominion's will. Now branded a traitor, he hides among the ruins he helped create hunted by the soldiers he once called brothers. But when he discovers a secret operation to release a new toxin across the wasteland, Kael realizes the air isn't poison... it's being poisoned. To stop the Dominion, he'll have to cross the dead lands- and he can't do it alone. Lyra Vance has survived her whole life out here. Reckless, volatile, and untamed, she's the kind of woman who'd rather burn the world than bow to it. She doesn't trust Kael, She shouldn't. But when their paths collide, survival forces an alliance neither wants- and sparks a war that could change everything. In a world built on ashes and secrets, trust is dangerous. Love is lethal. And the truth could kill them both. ASHFALL - Where the sky burns, and the survivors are the ones who learn how to fight back.
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

Once when this boy becomes her assignment to protect, things take a turn for the worst. Confusing tests and feelings go throughout their times together trying to survive. How would it end with the boy in terrible danger, and the girl losing the last vein of her humanity? *This is a VERY slow burn for the people who are here for romance Started: August 15 Ended: December 3 _____________Complete
Howling Pact
He wanders the realm with no banner, no master, and no mercy for the wicked. At thirty-eight, Kael Ardin is a wayfarer knight without a lord, a man who drifts from one troubled land to the next. He carries only his blade, his scars, and a mind sharpened by years of war. He asks for nothing-yet trouble always finds him. When Kael arrives at the border town of Duskmere, he expects little more than a meal and a place to rest his boots. Instead, he finds a village plagued by fear: children vanishing, whispers of a creature hunting in the night, and lords too corrupt-or too cowardly-to act. The people pray for salvation. What they get is Kael. With a strong will, an unyielding sense of justice, and the kind of cunning only a seasoned fighter possesses, Kael unravels a conspiracy that reaches far beyond Duskmere's walls. But monsters come in many forms-fangs in the dark, claws under moonlight... and men who hide their cruelty behind crowns and coin. The battle will be brutal. The outcome uncertain. But Kael has never been one to walk away from a fight worth winning. A brutal, fast-moving saga of honor, vengeance, and the shadows that bind them.Complete
Healer's Mark

But Kael doesn't want to be healed. He wants her touch - even if it kills him. Their bond is forbidden. Their magic is alive. And every time they touch, something ancient wakes beneath their skin. 🔥 A story of ruin and devotion. Of gods buried in shame and lovers who refuse to die quietly. Perfect for fans of dark academia, star-crossed lovers, and slow-burn obsession.Complete
The Guardian and the Soulbearer
He was ordered to bring her to the capital. He wasn't told he'd have to deliver her to her death. Lyana has spent her life staying small, head down, hands in the soil, past buried where no one can dig it up. But when masked men tear into her home in the night, Ravenwood burns, and the quiet life she built shatters in minutes. The man who saves her is no hero. He is the Crown's knight, sent to find her, take her, and hand her over. Kaiden is cold, controlled, and trained to obey. Then Lyana's power slips out in his hands, and he realizes the rumors are true. Lyana is not just gifted. She may be the last Soulbearer, the one the King needs to awaken the dying Queen. Awakening the Queen demands a sacrifice. Kaiden does the unthinkable. He runs with her. They are hunted by the King and the Circle, and trapped by a prophecy that insists Lyana's life is the price of salvation. Kaiden carries a secret no one can ever learn. He is a prince declared dead, and the Queen's son. If the Crown catches them, Lyana will be offered. If the Queen rises, Lyana falls.
