Tales are truths concealed in the depths of the ocean.
Athena Langthorne sees the future through the Chronos Gate-an invention that allows time travel.
As Captain of the Sylem Defense Ministry, it is her mission to ensure that her family and the Matching World survive into the future.
Safe from the looming war that the thieves of the North, known as the "Samientus," will lead.
The Samientus Verri will claim millions of lives.
And she fears she will fail.
Even worse is the possibility of facing Ethan Abram on the battlefield-her lover who left, whose identity he concealed.
But to her alone, he revealed it-a sign of a love so strong even time has not dared to erase it.
This is the story where the rivalry of the four nations of the Matching World began.
There will be tales.
This story is one of them.
And tales are truths.

Soulmarked
She opened the gate. He plans to crown himself through it. Marked by the Goddess of Blood, Syerin Cayde thought unlocking the ancient gate would set the world free. Instead, it tore the fabric between realms, unleashing shadows, stirring gods-and waking Varethin. Once ruler of Tenebris, Varethin is no Origin Lord. He's a false god with a stolen throne, and now, he wants more: to shatter the divine order and replace it with one of his own. To do it, he needs Syerin's mark. Her blood. Her death. But Syerin is no longer just the key. She's becoming something else entirely. To stop him, she must reunite the broken gods, close the gate she tore open, and confront the power rising inside her. But when the only person who truly understands her darkness-Riven Knox, marked by the God of Death-comes back into her life, the lines between love and destruction begin to blur. The gods are watching. Varethin is rising. And this time, divinity may not survive her.

The Lycan's Bargain
"Please help me... I'll do anything. I just want my mother to live." I cried, tears streaming down my face in torrents, my body trembling in fear. Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation. When Aira sneaks into forbidden Lycan territory to save her mother, she is caught and thrown at the mercy of the ruthless Lycan King, Kael Drathlor. In a desperate bargain, she trades her freedom for her mother's life. But as she becomes the king's unwilling companion, Aira discovers a terrifying truth-Kael is cursed, unable to die, unable to feel the mate bond that should tie them together. As dark forces conspire against them and Kael spirals further into self-destruction, Aira must decide: escape and save herself, or risk everything for the beast who might never love her back. In a world where fate is both a gift and a curse, can she break the chains of destiny before it's too late? 1 in Kael on 24/4/2025 1 in Captive on 26/4/2025 2 in dreamlandbooks on 26/4/2025 1 in beautyandthebeast on 27/5/2025 1 in historicalromance on 30/5/2025 1 in werewolf on 05/10/2025Complete
Prequel: The Unbound - Awakening
Before she was the hunted, she was the heir. Aria was born with a crown on her head and a cage around her ribs. As the daughter of the Serpent House, her life was a blueprint of bloodlines and duty: Secure Nexus mates from within the House. Awaken the Gift buried in her bones. Preserve the legacy at any cost. But Aria was never made to follow. And fate doesn't care for tradition. Her heart already belonged to the one man she was forbidden to love - her brother's best friend. And when her Gift finally stirred, it wasn't the weapon her family had waited for. It was quiet. Unexpected. A power they barely acknowledged - and one she was never meant to wield. Torn between the life she was born into and the power awakening inside her, Aria makes a single, irreversible choice. One that fractures her family, shatters her destiny, and lights a fuse beneath everything she thought she understood. Rebellion is no longer a rumor. Enemies wear familiar faces. And the most dangerous secrets are the ones written in her own blood. This is not a love story. It's the story of what love ruins - and what rises from the wreckage. _______ What to Expect: Unbound - The Awakening is a why-choose prequel: Aria's heart won't be claimed by just one. 🔥 Smut? Yes - but not right away. This one burns slow and deep. 🖤 Expect tension, heartbreak, soft touches, sharp edges, and impossible choices. ⚠️ Not all of her Nexus mates appear in this book. But the storm begins here.Complete

The Auric Testament
They were just six students- until the world decided they weren't. When quiet, sharp-eyed Achilleo stumbles into a hidden realm of dying gods and forgotten dynasties, everything he thought he knew fractures. Amid the drifting ruins of eternity, he meets Kalypso-a fallen goddess, blindfolded and bound by ancient curses, fading like the light of a dying star. What begins as survival becomes something far greater: a war to restore a shattered realm, rewrite the threads of fate, and stop a forgotten god whose silent rage has poisoned the world from the shadows. As the divine and mortal worlds collide, Achilleo and Kalypso's bond deepens into something neither can name. Between moonlit secret gardens and echoes of forgotten songs, they become each other's tether-his mortal heart anchoring her fading divinity, her immortal fire awakening the power buried in his blood. But they are not alone. Maurits, whose poetry hides storms. Ezekiel, quiet as snowfall, drawing a world he's never belonged to. Ruzana, the sun's enemy, longing for warmth. Lamai, glass-sharp, masking grief behind reason. Otis, laughter-quick and fearless, even when he's afraid. They're just kids on the edge of adulthood, yet they carry the weight of dying realms. Together, they awaken ancient defenses, call back lost soldiers from dust, and rebuild Kalypso's crumbling dynasty-while still clinging to fragments of their old lives: music, art, late-night coffee, the fragile magic of being human. But victory has its price. The forgotten god is not gone-only waiting. And when the final choice comes, Achilleo must decide: remain mortal and return to the world they've rebuilt... or claim his blood's truth, become a demigod, and stand beside Kalypso-forever. Romantic, lyrical, and haunting, this is a story about love born in ruins, and finding home-in each other.Complete
Exile: The Book of Ever
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.Complete
