"You are under arrest by The Congregation of Creatures... may the Gods have mercy on your soul."
We worked for The Congregation of Creatures. We were the head of the Band of Hunters: the White-Collars. We were legends. People looked up to us in awe.
On a routine arrest for an illegal trade of creatures, Xenia breaks protocol, and is dumped in the middle of nowhere, forced to teach at a school she has no business being at, put on probation until she can prove herself. The enchanting school holds many chilling secrets that will push Xenia to do things she's never had to deal with.
Jake meanwhile finds himself in sticky situations hunting down more law breakers without his partner in crime, and discoveries that would send a shiver down the spines of the fearless. In a compelling tale of creatures, tainted education, and warriors, the two find themselves fighting for what deserves a fight, tangled in a web of secrets, and immersed in an enchanting world of history.

Whispers in the Shadows: Act I
Once, Lirama believed in redemption. Now, she believes in survival. Bound by blood and shadow to a power that should not speak, she walks the edges of Faerûn-neither servant nor free, both a phylactery and a rebellion. When whispers of an ancient evil rise once more, she knows the truth: this is no war of kingdoms, no tale of heroes. It is rot festering beneath the world's skin. To stop it, she does not call on saints-but on the broken. A cursed assassin hunted by her past. A half-elf torn between night and moonlight. A storm-kissed sorceress who fears what she seeks. A fallen princess crowned in shadow. A charming barbarian fleeing legacy. An oathbreaker who still dreams of justice. Each bears a secret. Each carries a weight. And none of them walk this path for glory. As their blades are drawn and fates entwine, one truth becomes clear: Some wars are not fought in light- they are survived in shadow.Complete
Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
Lumien
A group of young people with different races and cultures, altogether united for one important mission. They are the only key to save their precious world Lumien from the upcoming chaos that will befall them. What are the truths that unfolds within? Will they be able to succeed in their mission? *** "Lumien is a special place that holds deep in our hearts. And no one can ever take our home from us no matter what. We may be different from each other, we may have water and oil relationships with each other for centuries, we may argue, fight, do unforgiving things but it still didn't change the fact that we all love Lumien. We will fight for our rights and nothing can stop us, no one can steal and control Lumien, not even you, Darkxyney, the Demon-God." Darkxyney laughed and mocked them for his stupid remark. "Bring it on! Even if you have the other weak legendary dragons, hah! Even if you locate that good-for-nothing White Dragon Empress, I will still win and rule over Lumien and then the whole universe! I'll finally be able to replace my darn mother for being the Universe Goddess!" she laughed evilly as if she had won. Everyone looked uneasy as they felt Darkxyney was stronger than before. But the chosen one and his comrades were the ones who stood firm and didn't shiver. "Everyone! Protect Lumien!" Language: TAGLISH Genre: Fantasy/Adventure ALL RIGHTS RESERVED @2022

The Art of Blood and Power (Book 2 in The Gifted Trilogy)
As long as people believed that there was a division between the Gifted and the non-Gifted, that one was superior to the other, I wasn't done. As long as there were kings on thrones to reinforce the idea that people like Porter and Briar and everyone else I cared about were unworthy of this world, I wasn't done. "And then," I continued, a resolution forming in my mind. "I'm going to destroy those six thrones." ********************************************** Wren Heatherfield has been through hell and back, surviving the deadly trials of the Garner and claiming the title of Garner Champion. However, her fight is far from over, with the real challenges only just beginning. Adjusting to her new life in the Ember Court with her insufferable enemy-turned-friend Kesserian Cinis, Wren is forced to face the truth of how close the six courts of Naturian are to a civil war, with Nox and Wren leading the opposing sides. But the fight for allies she can trust might turn out to be just as hard as her internal fight: coming to terms with her true identity. With the loyalties and beliefs of her past and present self at war with each other, Wren must decide who she is and what she stands for if she has any hope of surviving this upcoming war. Plagued by nightmares and trauma from her time in the Garner, Wren must find a way to keep moving forward. With the weight of a crumbling nation on her shoulders, Wren has one chance to fix the injustices that plague Naturian and achieve her dreams of toppling tyranny, but the alluring power of the throne might prove too intoxicating for even her to resist. A fight for her loved ones. A fight for the oppressed. A fight to save the remaining good in Naturian. The chains have been released. Now the real fight begins.Complete
