Twenty years passed in silence since the Kingdom of Niron had stretched throughout the Far North from the Emerald Sea to the North Peaks. Armies of the remnant Kingdom ravage the woods mercilessly but the winds of change have begun to blow their cold breath through the Elderwood trees.
Dunn - a village of the north - is one among many but when fire falls upon it in the night Godric finds himself thrown into a world far from that read about in books. Alone with the sole surviving companion, a girl by the name of Mira, Godric is left to discover the cold truth in the woods of Niron. Alone, that is, until taken captive by a mysterious band of travelers that promise to unearth the truth about the forgotten kingdom.
Mystery burns as hotly as Dragonfire in this stirring novel of courage, intrigue, and secrecy where every page peels back the shadows to reveal a new conspiracy, sharpened blade, or coiling Dragon.

The War Against Aberon (Rough Draft #1)
Vale Havon and Aberon had been at war for thirty years. Three decades of battle on the Eastern plains of Vale Havon's lands. This is why on the Western side Zaffre felt pretty safe. Helping her parents run the farm is her only duty and she was happy to do it. Things change, however, when her father gets sick. Bedridden he can't help with any of the dawn til' dusk work, and Zaffre is unsure if she can pick up the slack. Worse is the sudden death of their animals. With the autumn harvest on its way and already two horses down, things look bleak. The war still wages, and as more troops die Vale Havon grows more desperate. The Royal family is willing to do anything to save their kingdom. To keep their power. So, the drafts begin. Suddenly the Western border is not safe anymore. Zaffre knows if she's sent to fight her mother can't keep the farm running. So she goes into hiding. Except no secret stays hidden, and Zaffre's role in the world is far bigger than simply harvesting plants. Everything just got a whole lot more complicated. Excerpt: A cold sweat began to trickle its way down her back and a shiver traveled up her spine. It was when the hair on the back of her neck stood on the end that she realized something was wrong. She took a few more steps forward in the dark forest when she finally comprehended the thing that flashed a warning in her instincts. The sounds of the woods she'd been hearing all night, the birds, crickets, and scuttering squirrels had all gone silent. That only meant one thing, and one thing only, a predator was on the hunt. This time it wasn't her. *Trigger Warning, the book contains, violence, blood, fightingComplete
Oath in the Smoke
"I will obey you. Serve you. Heal for you. Die for you-if that's what you want. I'll be loyal only to you until the day you decide I'm no longer useful," she said. The firelight danced across his physique as his face stayed still. "I could make you do all those things as we speak." Lord Varric's voice was laced with threat. "You could," Silvia said clutching her hands to fists, "but not ever without a fight." ------------------------- When Silvia's village is burned, the survivors are dragged to the war camp of Lord Varric - a ruthless warlord whose name is spoken like a curse. She appears broken and obedient, but her eyes are sharp, her mind unyielding. His men are forbidden from touching the enslaved women of her village-not out of mercy, but because they are coin to be sold. Yet they do not listen. Desperate to protect what's left of her people, Silvia breaks free from her binds one night to tell the lord himself, only to be struck down before Varric's eyes. She survives through the power of her healing - and learns quickly that his men's crimes don't seem to sway him. With nothing left to offer in return for her villages protection, Silvia pledges herself - her body, her gift, her loyalty - to the man who destroyed everything she loved. An oath of loyalty, fear and unshakable resolve. Lord Varric accepts, not out of compassion, but calculation, keeping her close as a weapon, a healer, and a mind to sharp to waste. Yet even under his cold command, Silvia refuses to break. And behind her quiet defiance, Varric finds himself torn - driven to crush it, yet unable to look away from it. A dark fantasy romance of war, loyalty, and the perilous line between ruin and desire. #1 lord ~ 29.07.25 #1 forbiddenlove ~ 23.08.25 #7 hatelove ~ 03.09.25 #1 powers ~ 04.09.25 #1 enslavement ~ 28.09.25 #1 enemiestolovers ~09.10.25 #2 medieval ~ 03.11.25 #1 enemies ~ 20.11.25 #1 middleages ~ 17.04.2026 #9 darkfantasy ~ 16.07.2026 #3 fantasy ~ 19.07.2026Complete
