In a war-torn world where mercenary clans once shaped empires, Maximillian Cross-the sole survivor of the legendary Cross Clan-lives in quiet exile, hiding beneath the name Max Riverson in the remote village of North Hill. Haunted by the fire and blood of his clan's fall, Max buries his past and his blade, believing peace might redeem him from the ghosts that never left.
But fate does not forget.
When the feared Wolven Fang Syndicate arrives seeking refuge and supplies, led by the commanding Romulus and his cunning brother Remus, Max's dormant instincts awaken. Among their captives are two women who change everything: Lorelei Aegiscrowne, a noble heir with a will of iron, and Crystalle Silvermaiden, her enigmatic guardian, both unmatched in beauty and strength.
Drawn into their struggle and the Syndicate's looming conflict with a rising dark power, Max is forced to confront his buried legacy. Between fire and frost, vengeance and redemption, he must reclaim the name Crossblade-and decide if he will become the savior his bloodline demands, or the monster he once fled to forget.
As old banners rise and the shadow of war spreads across Aurcandia, one truth burns brighter than all others:
a fallen clan's last son will not fade quietly.

Being marked is a curse. Being a Riorson? A death sentence. Verena Riorson-sister to Xaden Riorson, daughter of Fen Riorson, the kingdom's most hated traitor-wasn't raised, she was reforged. Life didn't just shove her down-it beat her bloody and taught her to crawl in silence. Mercy? That word died the day her father did. After the execution, she wasn't fostered with a kind family like the others. No, the kingdom handed her over to the Velmires-a family that worshipped loyalty and burned hatred into the bones of every Marked child they touched. They didn't just punish her for her bloodline. They broke her for it. Rebuilt her into a weapon so sharp, even the gods would flinch. She begged once. Covered in blood, trembling on her knees, she whispered for mercy. The Velmires taught her what a mistake that was. She never asked again. Now she wears her scars like armor. Each mark carved into her back is proof that she survived the kind of hell no one walked out of whole. And Xaden? Her beloved older brother? He never came. Never searched. Never cared. Not until it was too late. The little sister he remembered-the kind-hearted, bright-eyed girl who clung to his hand-is long dead. In her place stands something else. Something colder. Stronger. Unforgiving. She's done hiding the monster they created. Done pretending the fire inside her wasn't born to burn kingdoms down. Verena Riorson has come to remind them all why they should've killed her when they had the chance. And gods help the ones who ever thought they broke her-because now? She's the storm they'll never survive.

In the mystical realm of Cael, where magic thrives and legends breathe beneath starlit skies, a tale of adventure and destiny unfolds. At its heart stands Aedric, a courageous warrior and king, whose bond with the mighty wolf Caelius runs as deep as the ancient forests of Ashkaran. By his side stands Kaelira, a gifted queen and powerful sorceress, whose companion-the wise and watchful owl Vaelora-guides her through the shadows of prophecy and arcane wonder. Amidst the clash of blades and the crackle of spells, the Chronicles of Caelthil weaves a living tapestry of courage and love. As Aedric and Kaelira face perilous trials, ancient foes, and secrets buried beneath ruin and myth, their journey becomes a testament to the strength of unity, the resilience of the soul, and the enchantment that binds kings, queens, and warriors to the fate of their land. This marks the pause in the Wattpad release of Book I: The Crowns United - until its full publication. To everyone who has read, commented, and walked through Cael beside me - thank you. Every moment, every message, every spark of excitement has meant more than I can ever express. The story is far from over - it's only gathering its strength. When it returns, it will do so in full: refined, complete, and ready to stand among the legends. Book I: The Crowns United - Coming soon 2026 The fire waits, the storm gathers, and the Bladewatch watches. ⚔️ Keep your blades sharp, and your hearts unyielding. - Dakota Wilson
Web of Lies (Book 2)
"I never planned to set foot in England again, not unless it was to kill my father. But for her, I'd walk straight back into the kingdom I swore to burn." Xavier Ruiz was supposed to be dead. Instead, he returns from captivity with a body that no longer obeys him, a mind sharpened by pain, and one purpose keeping him alive: find Antonio Ruiz and end the war his father started. Antonio has ruled through fear, blood, and betrayal for decades. He has destroyed families, buried secrets, and turned Xavier's life into a weapon. But this time, the damage is no longer limited to Xavier. Victoria has spent years grieving a man who was still alive. Now colder, stronger, and carrying wounds of her own, she wants the truth Xavier denied her. But the truth comes tangled in staged deaths, broken promises, and a love that has always blurred the line between protection and possession. As Antonio disappears deeper into the shadows, Xavier's search becomes an obsession. Every lead costs him another piece of himself. Every secret pushes Victoria further away. And the more Xavier tries to protect her, the more he risks becoming the very man he intends to destroy. With old enemies resurfacing and loyalty fracturing around them, survival will demand more than blood. And in the end, only one Ruiz will be left standing.

But when she's summoned to the Academy of Resonance, the crucible where heirs of every noble House forge their aether gifts, Tanya discovers that power is never just inherited... it's chosen.

For Tanya, that secret begins with the mirror - and the two sigils that stir within it. Mimic and Null. When her resonance awakens in battle, Tanya forms a dangerous bond with Scorian Veyth, her rival and protector - a bond that echoes a mythical catastrophe between their ancient bloodlines. And when Helios Solenne, heir of the blazing House of Eclipse, begins to circle her orbit with his own quiet knowledge, Tanya finds herself trapped between destiny and choice, truth and survival. As the Crucible stirs with whispers of forbidden power, Tanya must uncover what she truly is before the Academy decides for her. Because legends don't sleep forever - and some are born to repeat themselves.
Gladiators Heart
COMING SOON! CHAPTER ONE, TWO, & THREE PUBLISHED. EXPECT EARLY NOVEMBER. DM ME YOUR THOUGHTS! STORY DESCRIPTION: When the raiders leave his small town in ash, chains deliver Maxen Marcell to Harrowgate-the great river city where spectacle is law and the Red Sand spends men like coins. Maxen is supposed to die quickly. Instead he survives, and in the roar of the arena he catches a single impossible gaze from the city's princess, Isola-the woman whose quiet lists keep Harrowgate breathing. Elevated from slave to steel, Maxen learns the city's other games: oaths meant to hold, commands meant to bend, and the soft rebellions that begin in doorways and end by the water. With a bright-mouthed ally in Jalen, a healer who stitches with opinions, and a bartender who salts advice like soup, he finds a rough family in a place that eats its best people. But Harrowgate has plans for its champions, and the Order that arms him also weighs him-heart, blade, and future-against the needs of stone and river. Dark, intimate, and talk-forward, Gladiator's Heart is a medieval romance of iron and tenderness: brutal arenas, secret letters, and a slow-burn love that refuses to look away. When duty and desire collide under the city's blue banners, Maxen must decide whether a man can keep his oaths-and his heart-without setting the whole city on fire.
