Damien of Bohemia was a legend content to live in obscurity. Weary from a century of human and Irin bloodshed, he took shelter among those who would not question his silence or the martial spells he wore over his body. Spells far too numerous for a scribe of his age.
Until an earth singer of raw power and no delicacy came to the village where he hid. Sari of Vestfold wasn't intrigued by the mysterious warrior or his moody silences. And she wasn't interested in listening for the whisper of his soul. Even when those whispers promised a connection that could tie them for eternity.
DREAMS is the first full novella of the four part book, The Staff and the Blade, but is a story that can be read on it's own. (No cliffhanger!) I'll be posting one chapter every Thursday. The full book is available for pre-order now and releases on July 12, 2016.
The first three books of the Irin Chronicles, The SCRIBE, The SINGER, and The SECRET are all available from major retailers. For more information, please visit my website.

READY TO READ <3 "...It was as if a spirit had taken control of my body. I was lifted into the air, my arms widespread, my head automatically tilted back. There was a bright, eye-blinding light surrounding me. I could hear the voice now. It said my name. And then, it stopped. Oh no. No, no, no! It was true. It is true. And the voice, as if it had been reading my mind, announced to the impatient audience: "Peter O'Connor. Exceptional fighting skills; Sharp hearing; No need to breathe; Element: Fire." On turning seventeen, Peter O'Connor, forced by his step-father, swears his loyalty to Oi Alloi, a secret society for men with powers and in the span of a single second is forced to admit that there lays a sleeping dragon hidden behind this already shocking community- a dragon who's silent slumber has lasted a year too long. To add on to it, an old enmity suddenly surfaces, a girl supposedly filled with love turns out to be filled with secrets, and of course, there's the loyal friend, who's not so loyal anymore. Cursed or not, these powers can either break him, or make him- save him, or destroy him- and the choice is only his to make... Best Ranking: #4 in Secret SocietiesLengkap

Lies that felt like love. But the truth doesn't wait. And neither did she.

Something Strange
Whispers in the Dark: Part One - Strange Beginnings In the mist-veiled town of Blackthorn, where forgotten folklore lingers like smoke, 19-year-old Sarah's nightmares blaze into terrifying reality. Consumed by visions of infernos that devour everything in their path, she confronts a towering, faceless shadow that whispers her name-leaving behind a searing, pulsing mark on her wrist that defies explanation. As the dreams seep into her waking world-ethereal voices slithering through silence, reflections haunted by lurking silhouettes, and the relentless chill of unseen eyes- a storm unleashes an enigmatic stranger into her life. Tall and brooding, with eyes like storm clouds and an aura that flickers lights and stirs the air, he enters her dusty bookstore seeking tales of the town's cursed history. Their fleeting touch ignites a jolt of icy fire through her veins, binding her fate to his. Whispers ripple through Blackthorn: a nameless wanderer at the inn, drawing shadows like moths to flame. Her fiery best friend Lily urges caution, sensing danger in his wake, while the wise librarian unveils chilling truths-ancient powers stirring, shadows that hunt the marked, and Sarah ensnared at the epicenter. As the stranger's gaze pierces the night from darkened corners, Sarah realizes the flames aren't mere dreams. Something primordial hungers for her soul, and the veil between terror and truth is crumbling. Will she outrun the whisper... or become its echo? A gripping supernatural horror thriller laced with psychological dread, small-town secrets, and the inescapable pull of destiny.

Blood of the Moon, Heart of the Wolf
✦ Fragment from the Lunari Codex ✦ Recovered from the Temple of the First Moon Inscribed circa the Age of Bloodfire "When the Moon called, the wolves answered. When the Blood stirred, the world remembered. Between fire and shadow stands the hinge of all things." - Lunari Codex, Fragment IX ⸻ ✦ The Chant of Remembering ✦ As preserved by the Daughters of Soulfire Before the world was written in fire and bone, the Moon made a promise to the Wolves- and one night, it remembered. The forest remembers. The forest remembers. The Moon keeps her secrets. The Moon keeps her vow. She did not seek destiny, yet destiny found her beneath a bleeding sky. He did not seek her, yet the call drew him all the same. A thread older than breath. A pull older than stars. A remembering- two souls answering a name the gods forgot to silence. Whispers move through the trees: of love that births ruin, of ruin that births salvation, of two lights dividing the dawn. The gods stir. The veil trembles. The tether deepens beyond flesh and dream. Is she the vessel of fate, or its undoing? Fate is not a chain. Fate is a choice. And every heartbeat turns the key. The world shifts around her now. Shadows listen. The wind holds its breath. Something stirs where she walks- not light, not dark, but both- waiting to be claimed. The earth bows. The moon watches. She stands at the hinge of all that burns and all that endures. Prophecy speaks her name: She who walks where light and shadow divide. She who will choose how the dawn is born- in fire, or in ruin. When moonlight remembers, and blood awakens, the world will tremble to become what she chooses. ⸻ ✶ So it is written. ✶ So it endures. ✶ Blood remembers.

Ember And Snow
Aerion curled into Damien, clinging like something broken. Damien stroked his hair in silence, gentle, aching. "Aerion?" he whispered. Aerion pressed closer, unwilling to let go. "You have to leave." "Why?" came the muffled reply. "I want to stay. With you." "It's not right," Damien said. "To want the one who hurt you. To bleed for the hand that broke you." "And is it right to let go of the only thing you've ever known?" Aerion's voice trembled. "You hurt me. I know. But it doesn't matter." Damien's voice turned low. "Because I've been your whole world for a while-your joy, your ruin. I broke you. And still, you cling to me. Not out of love, but because pain feels familiar." Damien paused. "I once felt that for you." Aerion looked up, desperate. "Then how did you let go?" Damien met his eyes. "I didn't," he said. "You left." ---------- Aerion and Damien had wounded each other beyond repair-but neither ever truly let go. Millennia ago, Aerion betrayed Damien, and died for it. Now, in another life, they meet again. Damien saves a boy from being sacrificed to a god-not out of mercy, but bloodlust. He didn't know the boy was Aerion reborn. Not at first. But once he saw it-once he knew-his cruelty sharpened. Damien never speaks of the betrayal. He doesn't need to. His silence is thick with rage... and something else. That old, cursed fondness, crawling back in. Aerion, unaware of who he once was, cowers before the titan. But still, he slowly found himself drawn to him. Because in this life, Damien-cruel, cold and brutal-was the kindest one he'd ever known. -----------Lengkap
