In a world where magic is outlawed and hunted after a great magic war, Ember Vale is the last of the fireborn-a bloodline erased from history, remembered only in whispers and warnings. She's spent her life in the shadows, hiding the flames that pulse beneath her skin. But when she's forced to use her power to save a stranger, she's marked for death.
Kael Thorn is the government's most feared Hunter, trained to eliminate magic with ruthless precision. But when he captures Ember, something ancient stirs between them-recognition, resistance, and a fire that refuses to die.
As a purge threatens to destroy every trace of magic, Ember and Kael must decide: will they burn each other to ash, or ignite a rebellion that could reshape their world?
Enemies by fate. Bound by fire. Her name was meant to be forgotten, but some flames never die.

WHISPERS OF EMBERLIGHT
Magic was banned in Elarion long before Lyra Vale was born - but the power in her blood refuses to die. Hidden deep in the woods, she heals in secret, trading pieces of her life to save others. Each touch costs her a year, a memory, a heartbeat. And yet she cannot stop. When a wounded soldier collapses at her door, Lyra breaks her one rule: never heal a stranger. But Kael Draven is no ordinary man. His heart carries a curse - one that silences all emotion and devours anything close to love. As war brews and old gods stir beneath the earth, their fates become entwined - one born to heal, one cursed to feel nothing. But love has a way of rewriting even the cruelest destinies.Complete
Kael Draven Eternal Ember
In a world of shadowed streets and ruined empires, one name is whispered like a curse-and a promise. Kael Draven. Once a predator in the forgotten alleys of a crumbling city, Kael's hunger for survival awakened something ancient within him: the Eternal Ember, a fire of both life and ruin. Neither mortal nor immortal, neither savior nor destroyer, he is bound to a destiny that defies the Thrones, the Ancients, and even the Primordial that carved the world from ash. But power breeds enemies. The Hollow Court plots in silence, factions of hybrids sharpen their claws, and the spectral forms of Ancients loom above the storm-wracked skies. As Kael ascends from the shadows to stand as the Apex, he must decide: will he wield his flame to rebuild the world-or burn it into eternal night? Epic, gothic, and unflinching, Kael Draven: Eternal Ember is a tale of loyalty and betrayal, of monstrous beauty and terrible power. Step into a realm where fire bleeds into shadow, where the line between savior and destroyer is as thin as a blade, and where one man's ascent could unmake the heavens themselves.Complete
AshBorn
ASHBORN The world ended in fire, and the ashes learned to breathe. Two centuries after the Cataclysm, humanity hides inside fortress-cities called Wards, surrounded by wastelands where storms twist flesh and memory into monsters. Those who step outside rarely come back. Those who do aren't quite human anymore. Kael Thorne is one of them. Once a soldier, now a Reclaimer-a man cursed to survive the very storm that killed his wife. His veins glow with crimson light, his memories fading with every battle. When he finds a fragment of her voice echoing from the ruins, he ventures into the Ashlands to find the truth-or die trying. With him travels a crew of broken souls: a sniper who lost her faith, an engineer haunted by the machines he builds, and a girl born of the storm itself. Together they cross cities turned to glass and rivers that burn black, hunted by the zealots of a scientist-turned-goddess whose experiments shattered the world. At the heart of the storm lies the Crown of Ash, where the final war waits-a battle between memory and evolution, love and oblivion. Kael must choose whether to save the world that destroyed him... or become the god who remakes it. Ashborn is a dark action-adventure of survival, identity, and rebirth-where every fight burns away a little more of the soul, and even monsters remember what it means to be human

Ashes of Vengeance
Two warriors. One prophecy. And a love that could burn the world to the ground. They built the Trials to break her. She'll burn their empire instead. In a world ruled by the Ascended, the Lowborn are given a single chance at freedom - survive four deadly Trials inside the Academy. Most don't make it past the first. No one survives the last. Nyra Vale was never meant to be chosen. A pit fighter with bloodied knuckles and a serpent-shaped mark she's spent her life hiding, Nyra steps into the Academy ready to fight - but not to play by their rules. Kael Draven was raised by the very system built to crush her. Bound by an Oath to watch, not interfere, Kael is meant to be her silent judge. But the longer he observes her, the harder it becomes to obey - and the more dangerous his loyalty becomes. As the Trials grow bloodier and whispers of a forbidden Vault awaken ancient fears, Nyra's survival is no longer about freedom. It's about vengeance. And she's done waiting for permission to rise.Complete
Deck of Fate
Elora walks into the Assembly knowing full well that her chances of becoming anything other than a powerless Club, her family's symbol, are close to zero, and she is grateful for it. She has no desire to become a Diamond, with their supernatural intelligence, or a Heart with elemental magic, or Gods forbid, one of those pretentious special-powered Spades. She has always been resigned to serving the symbols she loathes, hoping to escape poverty and provide a better life for her mother. But when the Assembly brands her as a Spade, Elora's world is upended. Thrust into a deadly training base where survival is a test of will, she must navigate a world of privilege and power while grappling with her own prejudices. Rhiya Evergreen, Elora's best friend, has long dreamed of escaping Umbralyn, their shared city of the powerless. When assigned to serve one of the most prestigious families in Arcana, she believes she's found her way out. But her newfound life of luxury comes at a cost, as she uncovers dangerous secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she wanted. As Elora and Rhiya's paths diverge, they must navigate the truth about their society, their symbols, and themselves. When the Clubs disappear and Arcana's fragile balance of power starts to crack, Elora and Rhiya must choose between embracing their new roles or dismantling the system that defines them.
Savage Bonds: Cerise's Awakening
Cerise was trained to survive. Not to shift. She was an elite assassin on Earth-silent, precise, and bound by protocol. Magic didn't exist. Fate was a myth. And wolves? Just animals. But when a mission fractures the sky and tears her from her world, Cerise wakes in a realm that defies everything she knows. The ground pulses. The air hums. Strangers capture her, test her blood. She meets Lexi May, a mousy girl, who's just as lost as she is when they learn they hold shifting or magic abilities. Cerise doesn't have a wolf. Or so she thinks. Now, whispers in a language she doesn't understand crawl beneath her skin. Her instincts shift. Her body betrays her secrets. She didn't come here to be chosen. She came to survive. And if she's something more than human now-they'll regret finding her first.
Magic was banned in Elarion long before Lyra Vale was born - but the power in her blood refuses to die. Hidden deep in the woods, she heals in secret, trading pieces of her life to save others. Each touch costs her a year, a memory, a heartbeat. And yet she cannot stop. When a wounded soldier collapses at her door, Lyra breaks her one rule: never heal a stranger. But Kael Draven is no ordinary man. His heart carries a curse - one that silences all emotion and devours anything close to love. As war brews and old gods stir beneath the earth, their fates become entwined - one born to heal, one cursed to feel nothing. But love has a way of rewriting even the cruelest destinies.
