Discordant Note | TBATE
Lady Dawn expected to die. After casting her soul to the wind, taking a one-in-a-million chance to escape the wretched dungeons of Taegrin Caelum, the once-caged songbird of the Asclepius wishes nothing more than to find her Hearth and warn them of the coming danger. Instead, she's found herself a shade, anchored to a young man who knows far too much-and with far less hope than she'd started with. Toren Daen, for his part, only wanted to make it home safely. Now he's in a world taken straight from the page, questioning what is real and what is fiction, and scrambling to make something worthwhile. And with his foresight, there's only one way that Toren can see to keep this new world safe: prevent the descent of the Legacy. But those in power will not make it easy: Nico Sever is in a league of power all on his own, and Arthur Leywin bears the burden of Fate a continent away. In this familiar-yet-not world of mana, monsters, and looming deities, any misstep along the roads of Alacrya and the High Sovereign's Dominion could lead to a Fate worse than death. But what is death to a phoenix? With a burning secret in his mana core, knowledge of the future, and a maelstrom of fears and questions, Toren might just survive to be more than what Lady Dawn expected him to be. He might just survive to waylay the encroaching tide of death in the proxy war between raging asura clans. More than all of that, he might just live. (Semi-SI into Alacrya, character-focused story. Part 1 Complete.) (Part 1/3 of Discordant Note) (Part 2: Discordant Note: Crescendo | TBATE) (Part 3: Discordant Note: Requiem | TBATE) (Cover art commissioned by @_aphora_)Complete
Echoes Of Equilibrium: War Of The Worlds
In a world where balance is the key to survival, chaos threatens to tip the scales as a long war between humans and demons stretches on for millennia. A war fueled by ancient animosity between humans and demons. Leor, the Demon Prince and ruler of the demon realms of Valek'thar and Zaron, struggles to break free from the shadow of his father, the Primordial Demon King Aamon, as he tries to protect humans from the demons' wrath and end the war. Guided by an unyielding sense of duty, Leor forms uneasy alliances with demon hunters-Shania and Seraphina, and a god to protect humans from the wrath of demonkind, and the entire realms from the encroaching darkness of the Devourer-an primordial orb capable of consuming entire worlds with its chaos magic. Meanwhile, Seraphina and Shania, demon hunters of unparalleled skill, navigate their own moral dilemmas as they face demons that blur the line between ally and enemy. The trio's quest to end the war leads them to a demon-Azarath, Zariel's enigmatic envoy and second-in-command, who happens to be a shadow demon. As the fragile peace between realms crumbles and gods are forced to pull strings, the group uncovers an ancient, malevolent force pulling the strings behind the chaos-a dark god who broke the laws of existence itself. The heroes traverse breathtaking and treacherous realms. They face impossible odds, including obsidian-skinned creatures with glowing violet eyes, demons and also ancient entities. Each step unravels secrets about the true nature of balance and the sacrifices required to preserve it. Amidst determination, love, and the unrelenting march of war, Leor, Seraphina, Azarath, and Shania must decide whether they are willing to fight to protect the very foundations of existence-or succumb to the chaos that seeks to consume them all in the strength of their unlikely alliance and the eternal struggle to maintain balance in a fractured cosmos.
