The seventeen-year-old boy considers himself a normal American teen, but there are beings out there that disagree. Some want his help, some want his blood - and some want his life.
His path of mediocrity changes when a demonic serpent of ice appears and almost kills him and his friends. He manages to escape, and the strange circumstances cause him to question why he is being targeted. His search for answers leads him to discover that he holds a sort of divine power. Not only can he manipulate the world around him, but he holds the key to banishing creatures from the Earth. Most of them aren't exactly happy about that.
The hunt begins.
He is forced to go on the run, trying to find the source of his powers so that he can get out of this predicament. The only ones who might have the answer are the ones that want to enslave him.

Threads of Fate
The path fate lays before us is often many years in the making, and the tale of the Phoenix and the God-spawn is no different. Nearly 3,000 years before the war that would bring about Astaroth's defeat, another battle was waged to ensure there would be a future to fight for. Duty has been thrust upon Prince Azael Cadhael for centuries, first by filling the role of an uncrowned King, but his true story begins as all royal stories do: with a ball, a secret, and a peculiar dream. When Azael overhears the whispered plans of his betrothed and her twin brother to leave with the Phoenix on a goddess-given quest, he must surrender to a new type of duty entirely. Navigating his ever increasingly strained relationship with Tissaia Lochren while striving to save the future of his kingdom isn't a job easily done, and her closeness with the Phoenix, Kaius, certainly doesn't make it any easier. Tissaia has spent years in the shadows of her own failure and her father's wrath. Kaius's quest offers her and her brother Talarion a chance to claim their freedom at long last, but fighting ones' past can be just as deadly as fighting an armed foe, especially if that past isn't keen on backing down. If they're going to succeed, all four of them must learn to recognize the power in truth and bared secrets, as well as the strength in kinship. If they fail, it could mean the doom of all Asterria for an age. But if they succeed, perhaps fate will be kinder than they have been led to believe. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics.
