Warlords
In a fractured land teetering on the edge of chaos, three unlikely fates are destined to intertwine. An elven warrior, driven by duty and wielding a spear with deadly precision. An orc leader, haunted by the death of his brother and a legacy of bloodshed. A betrayed prince, stripped of his crown and forced to flee, seeking vengeance and redemption. Their journeys converge as tensions rise across the land, and the threat of war looms on the horizon. Ancient rivalries resurface, and the balance of power grows ever more fragile. Each carries their own burdens, their own vendettas, but in a world where trust is scarce and enemies lurk in every shadow, alliances are forged in blood and fire. This is a tale of betrayal, vengeance, and redemption-a fantasy epic where survival demands sacrifice, and power comes at a cost.![Volinrath: Crown of Darkness [PLEASE READ AUTHORS NOTE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/162991589-256-k119489.jpg)
Volinrath: Crown of Darkness [PLEASE READ AUTHORS NOTE]
In the kingdom of Korux in the land of Volinrath, men, elves, and dwarves have lived and ruled together since time out of mind. Until, that is, a surprise attack by a massive army of trolls lays waste to their kingdom and their way of life. The kings of each group are killed and the women and children of Korux are lucky to escape with their lives. The sons of the three kings train as warriors from an early age and by the time they reach their twentieth year they have formed strong bonds of friendship as well as mastered the art of warfare. They are ready to avenge the trolls and regain their rightful clam to their homelands. Through their skills in battle they quickly eliminate the troll king and his partner, the goblin king and decimate their troups. They resettle their own kingdom and enjoy returning to normal lives. But their troubles are not over yet. The Dark Lord has returned after many years of silence and is amassing his armies--tens of thousands of soulless skeletons and their giant counterparts and "masters of death," the Grimes. Expect twists and turns as you venture into the land of Volinrath. The heroes must stand up for one another no matter what--there are enemies in hot pursuit every step of the way. **I published this in story in 2015 but ended up taking it off the market due to a single review-the ONLY review on it in fact, which compared it a poorly written screenplay. My initial plan was to take it down and rewrite it then put it back up but due to growing self-doubt brought on from that comment I decided to abandon the tale and rework it into the another series I'm working on! I will however, put it on here for all to read.**Complete
A Damsel and Her Dragon
Yasmine had made a mistake. A costly, dire mistake. She'd whispered a plea in the darkness to a passing knight - save me from the dragon, and I will do anything you want - but she'd never imagined this outcome. It had been a shot in the dark, a final hurrah sort of thing, her last hope in escaping the tyrant clutches of the crimson drake who had kept her prisoner in a tall, inaccessible tower in the depths of a dark, mysterious forest. It was a tale as old as time, the Princess, held captive by some monstrous, ravenous beast that could only be bested by the greatest of heroes. Back then, Yas had believed that anything was preferable to the dragon and her captivity. Her daydreams had been of dashing heroes on beautiful white stallions come to sweep her off into the sunset, maybe claim her hand, and her kingdom, with a quick, romantic marriage. She'd been naïve. Humans, at their core, are selfish and covetous, and she should have known that if she gave her word, someone would eventually come to collect. Not out of the goodness of their hearts, no, she had been in the tower far too long for it to be that. They came for the payment. They came for her. Warning: Instances of non-consent and reluctance within the story, as well as graphic depictions of sex, violence, and gore. Mature audiences only.Complete![Divided Hearts (a Legauriel novella) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/69569405-256-k325246.jpg)
Divided Hearts (a Legauriel novella) [COMPLETED]
Six months ago, the Battle of the Five Armies took everything from Tauriel. Her position as Captain of the Guard, the respect from her people, and her blonde companion to fight at her side. All gone because she helped a Dwarf. But six months later, Men from Dale wander into Mirkwood, claiming to be fleeing an imminent Orc invasion. With nothing to lose, Tauriel volunteers herself to scout out the threat. What she discovers is a danger far more real and personal to the elves than anyone could've predicted. Caught between duty and instinct, Tauriel takes matters into her own hands and plunges into an adventure that will change her forever. "Fantastic! A well-written story telling the tale of the couple who could've been.

Now published and available in PAPERBACK and KINDLE on AMAZON!! 🤍 "Your ready wit never fails to surprise and delight me, Brenya." He murmured, his lips only inches from my own. I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation. "Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw. I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice. I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder. My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body. *~*~*~*~*~* ~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~ ~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~ ~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~ ~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~ ~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~ *~*~*~*~*~* ⚠️!!
