A dark fantasy of forgotten magic and an inescapable fate... Eline has always felt different, but only when a suffocating dream confronts her with a woman whispering her name does the truth begin to unravel. The forests of Fjörndal murmur her name, the earth responds to her steps, and her mother's vanished past looms over her like an unseen shadow. When she discovers that her silver necklace is not just a keepsake but a key to a secret buried deep within her blood, Eline is thrust into a battle between light and darkness. The forest breathes, the mist conceals something ancient and unfathomable, and in the distance, someone waits-someone who has known her all her life. But some truths were never meant to be uncovered...

29 parts Complete
Two girls. Two dragons. One war. The two nations of Ledah and Dreg have lived in relative harmony for centuries. However, this all ended a little over five years ago with a dispute involving a slain dragon and a stolen egg. A war was sparked by the conflict, bathing the once-peaceful land in blood and tears. For many years this war has raged, and lakes of blood, both human and dragon, have been spilled. The end is obscured in the cries of the dead, and a thick mist of disharmony and mistrust blocks all resolutions. Only a true union, forged on trust and caring, could return peace to this land. Aneira, lead captain of Ledah, strives to make her nation proud. Devyn, lead captain of Dreg, strives to keep her position and life. When Aneira is captured by the Dregian captain, she finds herself forced to travel on a dangerous quest with Devyn-one that both are reluctant to depart on. Their mission: to find and retrieve the magical weapon that may just put an end to this war. That's assuming something won't come between them first. _____ If you're a fan of dragons, queer characters, sword-fighting, and enemies-to-lovers romance, this is 100% the book for you!

After her village is destroyed by a powerful daemon, young Naomi sets off on a journey of revenge. Along the way, she meets and befriends fellow travelers, all of whom hide a great darkness in their hearts. Together the group ventures through the kingdom of Cantien and grow slowly closer together and closer to their goal. Accomplishing the impossible, killing a daemon. This story was written for Nanowrimo 2021. It has not been edited nor beta read therefore it is most likely filled with grammar and spelling mistakes, my apologies in advance. This story is also incomplete and most likely will never be completed since I lost the document that had the plot outline on it. But if someone really wants me to finish it I will, I just don't have the time right now. The second half of this story was written after I was in a bus crash and had whiplash so... be nice

#NaNoWriMo 2016 Book One in the Tales from the Filii Aurea Series IN THE BEGINNING, they say, the Aetherei Matrem fell in love with a Celestial Being, and produced a line of children like none other, each with their own special abilities, and each with ichor flowing through their veins. They were her Filii Aurea, her Golden Children, and they were to inherit the earth. A couple centuries down the line, and the Filii Aurea are struggling to stay alive. With the great Aurean war and Aziel Aro committing perpetual genocide, they're desperate to save their race. Avani Sai and Nuri Bachmann need to find the last remaining descendent of the great Milo Aro, and possibly the last cursed Child, and defeat Aziel Aro. That might not be their biggest concern, however. A charming stranger from the Sovereign Capital and a dark force lurking in the streets seem to pose a bigger threat than perpetual genocide.
