What's a future goddess to do, when evil closes in?
In Juliana's world, the gods are an ever-present force that control everything on Earth. From the storms to justice, harvest and death, the pantheon is composed of hundreds of deities, each with their powers and weaknesses. Magic is used to serve the gods, to punish and heal, to destroy and create, all based on their will.
But the winds of change are blowing, and no stone will be left untouched.
On her 17th birthday, Juliana must jump off the Great Cliff, and become a goddess. That is the destiny of a chosen, and so it has been for thousands of years. She has been trained in the arts of mystical combat and sorcery, but nothing will prepare her for this...
When an ancient force awakens and threatens the total destruction of everything Juliana holds dear, she must journey to heaven and hell to save her world. Ancient witches bent on revenge, feuding gods, and a witch of a trainer are the the least of her problems, when darkness breaks free. The choices she makes will tip the balance of good and bad, and when the light is shrouded by mist, the wrong choice can prove fatal.
A story of courage, adventure, treachery and magic, Juliana's tale is not one to be missed.

The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow.

Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked.

As saints, gods, and ancient powers converge, Percy and Katarina will discover that their fated roles are more complex and intertwined than anyone imagined. In a race against time, they must ask themselves: can you defy destiny itself? And if you succeed, what terrible price will the world pay?

Power that binds love
💀📖 "Power That Binds Love" - A Dark Romantic Fantasy What happens when a soul cursed by Heaven catches the attention of Hell? Athena Vivalda is numb. Not broken. Not grieving. Just... void. She walks the earth with no dreams, no attachments, no care for the living or the dead - and certainly no faith in God. But one strange encounter sets her spiraling into a world that blurs the line between myth and damnation. Enter Azarel Dearil - a figure whispered about in ancient tongues. He isn't here to redeem her. He isn't here to destroy her. He wants her to feel. And that makes him dangerous. "You want death, Athena. I want to give you something worse." Because if she falls in love, she dies - not in body, but in everlasting guilt, tormented beyond hell itself. "Firstly, I'm not going against him, neither do I believe in him. He may have created me, but what gives him the right to demand I worship him?" "He's not the hero humans see him to be. He's the writer - he decides who gets to be the villain or the hero.".................................... 💔 "Fall in love, and you die." But death would be too easy for Athena Vivalda. Her curse promises something far worse - a life haunted by guilt, a soul trapped between Heaven and Hell. She's rich. Untouchable. Emotionless by design. Until he appears. Azarel Dearil - mysterious, magnetic, possibly the Devil himself - doesn't come to save. He comes to awaken everything she's buried. He offers her a deal: no contracts, no strings. Just one meeting a week. But the more they talk, the more she starts to feel... And the more she feels, the closer she is to destruction. God watches. Hell waits.

The Fall of The Veil
"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*Complete

Eros
Eros, a world forsaken by its gods, left to be governed by kings and Magi, gifted with control over various elements. *** Some say the gods are dead. That Godswar left no victor standing. That perhaps they never wore flesh at all, and old tales are mere tales. Others say they have left this land to their creations, or merely left their bodies, and are now the living spirit of their own element, gifting and empowering their chosens. There's, however, a whisper of madness, or perhaps a jest, that the gods are alive, never ceasing to weave fate to their whims. That they will be seen once again, in time to finish Godswar. Whether it is the gods' will, or not, as the ambitions of kings and outlaws tangle with ploys of betrayal, personal vendettas, fury and passion, a war is sure to come.
