"She knows her name. But not her story. She feels magic. But not what it costs. She carries a legacy she never asked for - and a world she doesn't know."
Raised in the shadows of Khar'Thal, Thia knows nothing of the sealed magic, the vow of her silent guardian, or the queen's death that changed everything. But when the Splinterflame awakens within her, a journey begins - through memory, betrayal, and truth.
She must find seven shards - fragments of an ancient artifact that once set magic free. Only by uniting them can the world remember. And only if the world remembers... can she choose.

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.
Heir of the forgotten
Heir of the Forgotten Krish has no name, no past - only questions. When a mysterious artifact sends him spiraling into the past, he uncovers a world of secrets, danger, and a family legacy long buried. To uncover the truth about who he is, Krish must walk through history, face hidden enemies, and decide whether blood or choice defines who we become. Some truths are lost to time. Others are waiting to be found. They were born centuries apart-yet their destinies were sealed together before their first breath. Krish never believed in prophecies. Shree never asked to be part of one. But when a crumbling painting reveals their faces in a forgotten past, the truth begins to burn brighter than fate itself. Whispers of a lost kingdom stir again. Shadows rise from places long buried. And deep beneath the surface, ancient flames awaken to reveal the one true heir. Now, Krish and Shree must navigate reincarnated lives, hidden memories, and a bond forged in sacrifice. But is their connection written in destiny-or shaped by choice? A tale of fire, fate, and forgotten love. Top ranks :- #1 my own character ( 27 July , 2025 ) #1 my own character ( 11 November 2025 ) # 1 my own work ( 11 November 2025 )
The Chronicles of MagnaThe Legend of Ellakris
Legend speaks of an ancient king, who crafted a magical device that was said to be able to shield an entire nation from outside threats. Unfortunately, he died before he could finish it. At least, that's what most believe. Kris doesn't just hope that tale is true. She needs it to be true. All she wants in life is a chance to live. Between the magical illness slowly weakening her body, and the threat of her home's destruction, that seemed like an impossible dream. Quin didn't believe in magic. He certainly never thought he'd play a role in a legend from a different world. He'll find that there is far more to this story than he, or Kris, could have imagined. ***UPDATES EVERY FRIDAY***
