When young Evelyn's home is invaded and destroyed by the ruthless legion of Alderon, the most powerful nation in all of Rayshuk, she is torn from her family and her people are enslaved. In order to stay safe, Evelyn Mallene, rightful heir to the throne, is taken far away and raised in secret.
Meanwhile, throughout the land, a darkness is growing. Violent storms and fires are raging across the country. King Alderon has suspiciously lived beyond his years, his strength and power growing even still. The people of the fallen kingdom Mallene are brutally forced to work in the treacherous Mines of Killdrin, causing their numbers to dwindle further each passing day.
As Evelyn's nineteenth birthday nears, the time to leave her safe haven in the woods and take back her throne grows closer. Will she be able to save her people-- or will she fall victim once and for all to the dark shadow of the Alderon king?

The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete

Rise Of Orthros
In the mystical world of Themdore, where dragons soar through the skies and magic intertwines with the very essence of the land, Aesthra, a formidable female mage and skilled Dragon Rider, stands as a beacon of hope against the encroaching shadows. She rides Ethiopia, a fierce and loyal dragon whose scales shimmer like molten gold, a bond forged through years of struggle and triumph. The tranquility of Azure Peak is shattered when tales of someone summoning the all powerful Skeleton King and his Demon and Skeleton army. As Aesthra delves deeper into her visions, she uncovers a prophecy that hints at the awakening of an ancient Dragon, imprisoned beneath the Ashen Mountains for centuries-a creature of unimaginable power, bound to the sorceress's will. To stop the darkness, Aesthra and the dragon riders must find this Dragon and awaken it to fight against the sorceress, but this mission requires more than just bravery; it demands confronting her innermost fears and the shadows of her past. Accompanied by her fellow Dragon Riders-each bearing their own secrets and struggles-Aesthra embarks on a perilous journey through haunted forests where the trees whisper forgotten names, across treacherous mountains cloaked in mist, and into the heart of the sorceress's lair, a fortress of despair that warps reality itself. Along the way, they encounter twisted creatures willing to do the sorceress's bidding, and Aesthra must navigate betrayals within her own ranks, as not all her comrades are content to fight for the light. As the final confrontation looms, Aesthra grapples with her destiny: will she embrace the darkness within herself to combat the sorceress, or will she risk losing everything she holds dear in the pursuit of a greater good? With Kaelith by her side, she must choose whether to awaken the ancient Dragon and unleash its fury, or to forge a path that could lead to a new kind of magic-one that balances light and dark within her soul.
