The Split Crow mercenary company has been reduced to shambles. After what seems like a routine survey commission into an abandoned mine claims the lives of all but four of the Split Crow's members, the survivors begin to suspect that something great and terrible is at work beneath the earth. Their investigations shall lead them across the world of Quethal and beyond. This is their story.
So this is a book based partly on a dungeons and dragons campaign I took part in a few years back, continued with collaboration from some of the people who took part in it. The dramatis personae in the beginning will be updated regularly as new characters are introduced. In case you were wondering, I played Foundry. (A disclaimer: I do not own DND or any of its elements. Although this is a fairly original story, some elements in it ARE from dungeons and dragons. I am not getting payed for writing this, so it would be great if no one filed any lawsuits against me or my friends).

The Hidden Truth (A Destiny Fanfiction)
Ezekiel (Zero) lived alone with his sister, Maya for most of his life. Living in poverty, they did not have to opportunity to enjoy the luxuries of the Golden Age, which was graciously provided to them by the Traveler. However, after having fallen victim to the Collapse, they were both reawakened as Guardians. Forming the fireteam Hidden Power, with the help of a curious Exo Huntress and a sarcastic human Warlock, they fought to purge the Darkness in the name of the Traveler. ~~~ This was first video game fanfic. My obsession towards Destiny, and adoration towards the "Chronicles of a Warlock" series by @bad-juju inspired me to write my own fanfiction, and I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. I own most of the characters in this story but not the entire story (story belongs to Bungie), except a few sections of it. Well, if you played the game, you can figure out what's mine and what isn't XD I hope you enjoy :)Complete

Shards: A Tale of the Chain of Acheron
After getting out of the world-hopping business, a bloody season fighting the Elves out east was just what the Chain had ordered. Guerilla warfare in the ancient forests wasn't exactly a soft job though, even for the last of the Helltroopers, and the mercenary rank and file were ready for a bit of rest in the seedier neighbourhoods of Blackbottom. A week of gambling dens and brothels would likely find most of them getting antsy enough to willingly march wherever the next Contract would take them. They didn't get a week before the next round of bloodshed. They didn't even get to sleep in. ~~~ This is a Fanfiction novella about the Chain of Acheron, based on the setting created by Matt Colville and the story of MCDM's Chain of Acheron twitch-streamed D&D game. It is an imagining of the events of Blackbottom parallel in time to the first two sessions of their campaign, and focuses on original characters and the actions of the rank and file members of the last of the Helltroopers.Complete
IRON HAND (BOOK ONE): FOR THE GREATER GOOD
"Iron Hand" begins in the throes of what most stories would consider the final battle. Buren, leading the "Seekers of the Artifact," utilizes the power of the Gauntlet, an ancient artifact for which he sacrificed his own arm and triumphs over the dark lord, ending the undead scourge plaguing the lands. Without a foe to unify them, the alliance of various racial, religious, and political factions begins to unravel. Reluctant negotiations result in an uneasy peace that leaves many dissatisfied, especially Buren. Now feared and distrusted for the power of the Gauntlet, Buren finds no respite. Dark visions he believes to be warnings from the Gauntlet haunt his dreams. However, his fears are dismissed as the delusions of a war-weary mind. Determined to confront this new threat, Buren follows his visions to an ancient mountain, located within the sacred grounds of the Dryads. The distrustful Dryads deny him access. Out of options, Buren infiltrates the Faith, a fanatical human supremacist religious order, becoming their enforcer, their "Iron Hand." As Buren travels, we delve into the backstories of the "Seekers of the Artifact," witnessing his navigation through a treacherous web of intrigue where trust is a luxury he cannot afford. The realm suffers under a despotic king, with whom Buren must ally on the surface, while secretly plotting his downfall. The situation is further complicated by his arranged marriage to a woman harboring her own dark secrets. Literary heroes sacrifice everything for others, but what happens when saving the world requires sacrifices from everyone? When do the ends cease to justify the means?. What if saving the world involves sacrificing innocents, betraying loved ones, and allying with despised enemies? "Iron Hand" is a story of a man who gave everything to save the world once and is now prepared to do so again, even if it means crossing lines he never thought he would. But will he still be hailed as a hero?Complete

Harpers Quest Prequel - A Forgotten Realms Story
** Updated 09/11/2019** **Story is Complete** This the Prequel to the Harper Quest stories. I've basically kept the same story just redone how it has been set out by making chapters shorter so it is easier and quicker to read. Several years ago I started to write a story set on the Forgotten Realms which turned into an epic about a group of Adventurers called Brithic's Band. This was the original concept story and was based on a campaign I was involved with at the time. I thought I share it here seeing the story in it's entirety is really to long to share on places like Twitter, Facebook and DeviantArt. This is Fanfiction and isn't fully original as it is set in Forgotten Realms, so I will give credit to where Credit is due. The cover art is mine.
