When Legends Fall

For thousands of years, the country of Alouana has prospered through specialization: Each man or woman of worth must join a Guild, to serve, study under, or fight for in times of need. In millennia past, each Guild was a strong brandy: Mages controlled magics of immeasurable capacity, Warriors wielded weapons of incalculable power, and gods among men roamed the earth. Today, however, it is but a well-watered wine; like children wearing their parents clothing. In Alouana's time of weakness, a man who lost everything seeks revenge, a boy who barely owns the shirt on his back will become the most powerful warlock the world has ever seen, and a past long-forgotten will reawaken.
The fruit of destruction is ripe for the picking.

A Crown of Ashes
The witches of Moraveth are nothing but ghosts-hunted, slaughtered, and forgotten. The Kingdom of Ravaryn thrives on our suffering, bleeding us dry to fuel their power. I was sent to stop them. Disguised as a noblewoman, I slip into the royal court with a single purpose: get close to the king, dismantle his empire from within, and make them all pay in blood. I have spent years sharpening my hatred into a weapon, and I will not fail. But then there's him. General Tristan Vale. The King's Butcher. The man who led the charge against my people, who burned my homeland and stained his hands with the blood of my kind. He is ruthless. Unyielding. A legend built on the bones of witches. And now he is my greatest obstacle. He watches me too closely, shadows my every step, as if he knows I don't belong. He is meant to be my enemy-my executioner, if he ever discovers the truth. But the longer I stand in his fire, the more I begin to see the cracks beneath his armor. The war-haunted man beneath the legend. And the way his touch-his forbidden, maddening touch-sets something inside me aflame. I came here to destroy the kingdom. So why does its deadliest weapon make me want to burn?

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
The Cursed Witch
Reincarnating, dying, repeat. My life revolves around those three. This has been going on for so long that my memory of my first life already became hazy. And right now, I was reincarnated in a novel I read from my previous life. A novel where the second male lead was being taken advantage of by the heroine but was just discarded in the end. And I would prevent that from happening to him #1- Fantasy-romance (08/27/23) #11- Fantasy (10/23/23) #35- Fantasy (08/02/23) #32- Aristocracy (08/13/23) #24- Otherworld (08/17/23) #39- Otherworld (08/13/23) ⚠️ UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚠️Complete
The Villainess Will Not Bring Dishonor To Her Family
Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!Complete
😈😈the Beginning of aetheria 😈👿
Prologue: The Beginning of Aetheria Long before time as we know it, the cosmos trembled under the weight of the Celestial War-a conflict so devastating it consumed entire worlds. In the aftermath of this chaos, a sanctuary was forged by the surviving celestial beings: Aetheria, a realm of boundless magic, mystery, and power. Created as a haven, Aetheria became a world of unparalleled beauty, inhabited by diverse races: the ethereal Elvari, the mighty Drakenkin, and the cunning Umbrians, among others. Each brought their strengths and secrets to this realm, weaving its intricate tapestry. But peace was fleeting. The Void, a remnant of the Celestial War, seeped into Aetheria, corrupting its heart. To combat this, the ancient guardians forged powerful Shards of Light, fragments capable of sealing the Void's influence. Yet, over millennia, the shards were scattered, their power waning as darkness grew. Prophecy whispered of a being-a descendant of Adam, forbidden in this realm-who would wield the shards and either restore balance or bring ruin. For Aetheria's denizens, humanity was both hope and doom, their mere presence a threat to the realm's fragile existence. Now, as darkness encroaches once more, the stage is set. A nameless human emerges, lost and unknowing, drawn into a destiny shaped by ancient powers and unyielding prophecy. The question lingers: Will he save Aetheria-or be its undoing? Thus begins the tale of the beginning of Aetheria, where fate and free will collide in a battle for the soul of a world.
