Tremors have forced the elite of Pompeii to flee the city, leaving everything they own behind.
Quintus Poppaeus is one of the elite to take to the seas, but not without safeguarding his riches. He has trusted his most loyal slave Caius to keep watch over his treasure room in case thieves try to take advantage of his absence.
Caius is not alone. Three other slaves are with him, but they are not too eager to stick around and see what Vesuvius has in store.
Inspired by true events, Breath of Ash looks into the lives of Pompeii's forgotten citizens right up until the city's destruction. Breath of Ash reads quickly, and keeps the tension high as one of Earth's most destructive forces gets ready to go off.

Forbidden Union
Veloria is a realm divided into four elemental Kingdoms: Sea, Wind, Terra, and Ash. Ancient law forbids romantic relations between different Kingdoms, as any child born with more than one elemental power is seen as a threat to the delicate balance of power. This law, established centuries ago by the rulers of all four Kingdoms, is enforced with ruthless precision. Any child of mixed blood, along with the parents who bore them, is executed. But now, the King of Ash seeks to ignite the world in his fury. With his deadly and forbidden plan, he seeks to claim Veloria for his own, threatening to consume the traditions and freedom of the other elemental kingdoms. To stand against him, the kingdoms send their strongest-those born of perfect lineage, trained from birth to embody their element's purest form. Known as "purebloods", their mission is to stop the King of Ash before his flame consumes all. Yet lurking in the shadows is the King of Ash's most feared assassin, determined to ensure that no one stands in the way of his master's reign.Complete

Homeward Bound
Cassidy had nearly lost all hope. She'd lost most of her fleet, those who survived had barely escaped, and one of the most dangerous beings in the world wanted to see her drown. She needed hope, but it didn't come in the way she had expected. It came in the form of a strange, powerful sorceress. OR I slotted the characters of FNAF into the story of Epic: the Musical. I became obsessed with Epic recently and really wanted to make this story after how it turned out in my head. Read the tags for who is who. This starts right after the encounter with Poseidon, as they land on Circe's island. And this won't follow the story of The Odyssey or the rest of Epic: the Musical, because I want to tell my own version of the story. Previously titled "I've Got You", retitled to "Homeward Bound".Complete
