When Antigo, an orphan, finds a corpse he is convinced of the Skekstatsiis's return! Village elders write it off as a delusion, or worse: a plot by the Trade League to disrupt the illiac harvest-not the mythic monsters Antigo's ancestors vanquished. Only Bersham, the old crone who raised Antigo, believes him. Together they must stop the Skekstatsiis before they can feed upon the souls of the Vale.

The Last Black Eye of Antigo Vale is something of a prequel/origin story/novelette in The Kakos Realm fantasy series and was originally published in Sorcerous Signals, May/July 2009. This book is available on Amazon, Smashwords, Audible, and many other platforms.

A monster hides in plain sight, feeding off of humanity while yearning to return to it. He was to have been an immortal undead, to have power and strength like he'd never known in mortal life. The Vampyrs lied. They took his life, but when he awoke he was not a Vampyr. He was something else, a creature so foul they abandoned him to die alone in a crypt deep underground. Kaleb survived by skulking in the shadows and preying on the dregs of society. Until now. In one moment of carelessness, a young woman witnesses Kaleb's atrocities. Unable to kill her, Kaleb takes the girl hostage, and that's when his life begins to crumble around him. When the local ruling Vampyr clan realizes what is living in their midst, they come in force to destroy Kaleb and wipe every last trace of his existence from the face of the earth.

Bride of Alvar What if your entire life your mother declared you're destined to wed a king from a magical world? Would you believe her? Probably not. I didn't believe her either, until a handsome, other-worldly king showed up to claim me as his bride.

However, when monsters from Alvar's world kidnap my best friend, I find myself whisked away to his realm marrying him anyway. But marrying a man I barely know and adapting to a fantastical new world is nothing compared to learning just how many dark secrets my new husband hides and that the fates of both my world and Alvar's rest on MY shoulders.

Seven years ago, Calliope Endiris lost everything in a flood of cursed black water. Haunted by the calamity, she seeks to absolve herself of the patron sigil passed through her family, one that binds her to the very same water spirit who destroyed her home--Marin. But her quest is cut short, and Cal ends up stuck as an attendant to Elowyn, the youngest daughter of the wealthy Adeline family. Cal would rather do anything than babysit, but she has no choice. Not when the Adeline family knows of Cal's sigil and the truth of the black water calamity, knowledge that could get Cal killed. However, on the eve of Elowyn's twelfth birthday, the Adeline estate falls under attack, and all members of the family are slaughtered. Cal and Elowyn are forced to flee farther east for sanctuary, but it won't be easy to shake off their enemies with another patron sigil-user leading the charge. When Marin promises safety to both girls at a temple oasis, where the water is pure enough to wash away any sin, Cal makes a dangerous gamble to protect Elowyn. Even though Marin's black water haunts Cal, she'll do anything if it means saving her life and Elowyn's--especially if there's also a chance to dissolve her pact with the water spirit. ~~Completed!
Champions of Light: Gaëtano's Sword [Book One] by Natbug4545
20 parts Complete Mature
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON & KINDLE On the planet Keodis, upon the western continent, Uestron, inside the Raesifiin Empire, in the small naval city of Cyripo, the story begins when thirteen diverse strangers answer a strange pamphlet to a quest. The quest is to find a powerful gem in the Deep Forest, and then to use what powers it bestowed on them to delve into the Mountain Barrier. There, they will have to find the Light to dispel the growing Darkness within. Though this qest is honorable and righteous, the dangers that await them are exponentially worse than they could ever imagine. Whether they can save the world depends on whether they can survive themselves. Mature rating for blood, gore and depictions of violence. TW: mentions of drunkards and beer, mention of physical abuses, a description of trypophobia, claustrophobia, and other phobias, and descriptions of nasty cryptids. There is no depictions or allusions of sex, no f-bombs, or drug abuse. This story was started when I was in seventh grade. I finished the original when I was a senior in high school. Displeased with the finished product, I began to rewrite it here, starting June 2015, then again in 2020. I am quite satisfied with the result, and am sure this will be the final edition. This isn't the first book of the series, but there's no spoilers for 'The World is Larger than it Seems', so you can start on this one. The story is far from finished, however, and I hope to eventually finish the series.
