The Path
Kai is initiated into the "The Path," the Viking rite of passage. If he survives his rite of passage he will live amongst his Nordic brothers as an elite hunter and warrior; but if he fails this rite of passage he will never return. Kai's journey becomes a quest for truth and redemption, as he navigates the complex theological and political landscape, facing difficult choices that challenge his most fundamental beliefs about power, sacrifice, and the nature of divine will. The story blends elements of historical fiction, fantasy, and adventure, exploring timeless themes of identity, loyalty, and the struggle between individual agency and the forces that seek to control one's fate. As Kai's odyssey unfolds, he is forced to confront the harsh realities of war, the allure of violence, and the transformative power of faith, ultimately wrestling with whether true strength is found in conquest or found in surrender. - ⚔️ Listen to the complete audiobook of The Path on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nd0n3rgMkFg?si=qayQ32jGSYc6WMTT 📖 The Path is now published in full on Amazon: Read/Buy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GN2L6P8NComplete

Unbeauty and the Beast
Once upon a time there was a tale not as old as time, a weirdly modern take of the fairytale on the beloved classic inspired by Beauty and the Beast. Oriel Harthorn had been cursed to become a monster. Being a prince no more, he had to find a way to break the curse. There was no such thing as true love like what was told in storybooks. For who could ever love such a hideous creature? In this version, there is no princess. Mei Arabella saw herself as more of a beast than a beauty. Would it be possible for her to be the one to help the beast? And can the enchantress who cast the spell be trusted? Who's to say that witch was really a friend or foe? Be my guest if you wish to give this story a try as it may have potential but is lacking a lot. Will there be a happy ending? Only time shall tell... (Cover made by me)Complete

"I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?"

Sunset Crusaders
"I am heir to the most powerful Altered who ever lived. This empire will fall, whether it happens before or after I kill you." In a fractured world of ancient ruins and advanced technology, humanity lives alongside creatures known as Altereds. For centuries, the Dominion Empire has ruled through fear, conquest, and control, born from the ashes of the Great Altered War. Now, a group of rebels called the Sunset Crusaders are willing to burn the world for freedom. Because "Freedom is built on sacrifices." Follow Gaya and the Sunset Crusaders as they fight their way across the empire, uncovering the truth behind her family's history, the lost origins of their world, and the terrifying secret hidden beneath the kingdom of Veleria. But as betrayal tears the rebellion apart and war consumes everyone around them, they begin to realize that the greatest threat to their survival may not be the empire at all. It may be themselves. Friends become traitors. Heroes become monsters. Love turns into grief. And every sacrifice drags them closer to becoming the very thing they swore to destroy. This is a fast-paced sci-fi fantasy story told through multiple POVs, giving each character their own voice, struggles, and perspective on the fractured world they live in. One chapter may follow a grieving rebel leader. The next, the empire's broken emperor. Another, the traitor who destroyed the only family he ever had. At its heart, this is a story about found family, longing, love, betrayal, and the cost of survival in a dying world. Note that I reserve the right to alter, update, or clarify my story at any time.
