A land torn by gods, ruled by monsters... and on the brink of war once more.
A hundred years ago, two demi-gods clashed in a battle so fierce it shattered the continent. Both perished, leaving behind their creations - heroes, horrors, and rulers who carved Grimlore into five warring regions.
Now, in the Age of Ruin, queens, kings, beasts, and warlords fight for survival and dominion. From the radiant halls of Veyra to the shadowed citadel of Neyros, alliances crumble, betrayals fester, and ancient artifacts resurface, relics with the power to change the fate of the world.
But in Grimlore, one truth remains eternal, power is never given. It is taken.

Eros
Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.

Veiled in Light and Ruin
Every year, Lyra's village gathers beneath the ancient statues of the Fates, offering prayers and sacrifices to keep the creeping darkness at bay. The Ruined Kingdom stands in the distance, a forbidden place where no one enters and no one leaves. A place ruled by a king who does not age, does not die, and does not care for the world beyond his walls. Lyra has never believed in fate, only in survival. With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls. Whispers of the past haunt her steps, and the King-cold, untouchable, and shrouded in secrets-watches her too closely. As shadows stir and forgotten magic awakens, Lyra begins to question everything she's been told about the Ruined Kingdom. And, more importantly, about herself. Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood. And some fates are meant to be broken.
The Blood of Two Worlds. The Cursed Prince.
In a realm fractured by flame, shadow, and prophecy, three ancient elven kingdoms-Elarindor, Syltherien, and Thalvanyr-stand at the edge of unraveling fate. Queen Aeryn of Thalvanyr has ruled in silence and strength, but a relic long buried beneath her mother's death-Velmorith, the Heart-that-Weeps-begins to stir. Whispered of in forbidden tongues, the relic does not just remember power; it mourns the cost of it. When it awakens, so do the ghosts of realms unseen. Eyssira, Aeryn's fierce and gifted sister, bears the Shadowbrand, a mark of flame and fate that links her to the First Ember beneath the mountain. She crosses into a forgotten world where myth breathes and a vampire king, Sorathos, guards a forest that bleeds memory and fruit. In his presence, she discovers a bond deeper than magic-and a danger older than death. But the veil between worlds is tearing. And what sleeps beyond it... remembers her name. As queens summon lost councils, trees fall silent, and ancient alliances fray, a prophecy awakens: one born of three thrones, destined to either heal the fracture between light and shadow-or destroy it. This is Book 2 of The Blood of Two Worlds series. If you haven't read Book 1: The Blood of Two Worlds. A Daughter's Light. A Realm Reborn, check it out on Amazon https://a.co/d/iY9pIpqComplete

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
