In Nkwerre, the blacksmiths are not ordinary men. They are said to have fire in their veins instead of blood, descendants of Nachi-the first smith who learned the sacred art of iron from Ogadazu, god of iron. To them, pounding iron is more than craft... it is transformation, it is spirit, it is alchemy.
But when his descendant appears at the edge of Okoto forest-taller than most, his dreadlocks covering his haunted eyes, his hammer echoing through the night-rumors begin to spread.
But suddenly he disappears
No one knows if he was consumed by his own fire, taken by the gods, or if he succeeded in his impossible quest.
And whispers, in Nkwerre, have a way of becoming legends...

The Night Runners (PREVIEW)
It's been six months since the Igbo gods were freed. Six months for the world to readapt to powers that haven't walked the earth in centuries. While the various pantheons go on the hunt for Ekwensu, five special teenagers are recruited to help with a case in the House of Midnight. It's supposed to be a simple thing, but the teens soon find themselves in the middle of a vast conspiracy that just might involve the people that recruited them, all while a mysterious new enemy lurks in the shadows and another world teeters on the edge of destruction.

Where The Bells Once Rang
Once a devoted monk, now exiled and nameless, Sanwu walks through the ruins of a world he helped break. Branded The Unbound, haunted by dreams that aren't his own, he alone hears the bells that no longer ring. When a girl with a cursed spirit crosses his path, and a child who whispers to ghosts begins to follow, Sanwu finds himself at the heart of a growing storm. Relic hunters chase echoes of power. A death cult rises in the ashes. And the War God he once released threatens to rise again. To stop it, Sanwu must sacrifice more than his past. He must decide if redemption is worth becoming no one at all. A quiet, spiritual fantasy about memory, guilt, and the weight of names. When the bells call again, will he answer? A Korean-inspired dark fantasy.Lengkap
Ologun Mejo
When gods walk the earth, even shadows must remember their names. A small village stands at the edge of ruin, its people caught between mortal fear and divine silence. From the old tales, eight Orisha rise again - guardians bound by fate, drawn by the cry of the desperate. But as the veil between worlds trembles, something older stirs in the deep: the Ajogun whisper, and in the dark between creation and decay, an ancient nameless power begins to wake. In a world where myths still bleed into reality, balance itself may not be salvation - only the calm before another storm.

Kingdom of the Zodiac
The locals had warned me that no one in their right mind would enter the North Woods alone, not unless they had a death wish. It's a good thing then that I am not in my right mind. Fear had prevented me from returning to this place for years, but the nightmares depriving me of sleep threatened to steal what little sanity I had left, leaving me with no other choice than to confront the source of my apprehension. I was tired of pretending that everything was ok. That I was ok. I needed the nightmares to stop. But in order for that to happen, I needed to uncover my lost memories. The North Woods held answers, of that much I was certain. So here I stand, ready to face my past. If only I could get my legs to move. **FIRST DRAFT - UNEDITED **Lengkap

The Evening Of The Morning
It was a dangerous night for Squad 4or, as usual, mounted on a checkpoint by a road bordered by bushes on both sides. But, thieves, kidnappers, and bribery, they already strategized for, but what they saw...who they saw after mere little boys ambushed them, left the little boys dead and Agbo; a blooder in Squad 4or, stricken that he didn't sleep for four days; as something he loved doing, it was appalling he didn't touch his wife. The attack had left him tethering at the brink of life and death with three nuts lodged in lethal areas in his stomach, but the man they saw, who warned them never to say his name out loud, made him cross the line easily and his chest began to rise and fall again. That he could lie beside his wife and eat with his family, adding his only son, was appalling to him. His wife wouldn't understand. Touching her down there or having her nipple in his mouth wasn't even close to what he thought about. He thought about a man and he couldn't stop thinking about this man. This man who the book is about, this man who tells tales of his past life, this man who is strong, but always reminds Agbo that something is stronger. And dreadfully, that something was coming. It is also about me, the poor, sacrificial lamb, it is about me, the host of the Almighty.Lengkap
Men of Iron - Book 3: Hunted by Her Heat

Doesn't break. As the Forge Master, he's the one who turns fire into steel - the hammer that tempers, the iron that endures. But the girl isn't afraid of his silence. She's afraid of what happens when he looks at her like he's already claimed her. She burns in fury. He waits in silence. And the more they fight to stay apart, the more they ignite something neither can control. But grief doesn't fade quietly. And the enemy hunting her doesn't care if she's branded or bound. In a world built on blood, fire, and ghosts - sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the war outside the gates... It's the girl who dares the Forge Master to burn.Lengkap

Because the moment Grace starts to matter, everything shifts. Tensions rise, threats surface, and Ash finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn't - especially for someone like her. She's survived the worst the world could throw at her.
