Howling Pact
He wanders the realm with no banner, no master, and no mercy for the wicked. At thirty-eight, Kael Ardin is a wayfarer knight without a lord, a man who drifts from one troubled land to the next. He carries only his blade, his scars, and a mind sharpened by years of war. He asks for nothing-yet trouble always finds him. When Kael arrives at the border town of Duskmere, he expects little more than a meal and a place to rest his boots. Instead, he finds a village plagued by fear: children vanishing, whispers of a creature hunting in the night, and lords too corrupt-or too cowardly-to act. The people pray for salvation. What they get is Kael. With a strong will, an unyielding sense of justice, and the kind of cunning only a seasoned fighter possesses, Kael unravels a conspiracy that reaches far beyond Duskmere's walls. But monsters come in many forms-fangs in the dark, claws under moonlight... and men who hide their cruelty behind crowns and coin. The battle will be brutal. The outcome uncertain. But Kael has never been one to walk away from a fight worth winning. A brutal, fast-moving saga of honor, vengeance, and the shadows that bind them.Complete

Shadow Archive
When the world collapsed, it wasn't war, famine, or plague that brought it down. It was words. Sentient grimoires devoured cities. Living paragraphs swallowed memories. And language itself fractured reality. Kael Orven, once a brilliant young Librarian, now roams the ruins with no past beyond the glyphs carved into his arm-glyphs that burn every time he faces a corrupted text. When he witnesses a book eat a man's face, Kael realizes something terrifying: The words remember him. And they want him back. Forced into an uneasy alliance with Lira Vein, a blind exorcist who "hears corruption," Kael enters the war between Archivists, cults, and Monarch-class Grimoires capable of rewriting the world.

The Demon's Tongue
Centuries ago, a demon known only as Kael the Silenced was bound inside a forbidden grimoire, his voice sealed by ancient magic. Any word he speaks can kill-and any mortal who hears him dies screaming.

Now, Kael is free-but his curse binds him to her. She's the only one who can hear his voice without dying, and the only one who can write the words that might unbind them both. Every word he speaks through her ink burns with power-and temptation.
