A supernatural sword and sorcery adventure!
When legendary Tilwen swordsman, Riposte Clasicant, is challenged to defend his actions toward a woman he doesn't love, he discovers her fiancé is a bigger monster than he is.
In Silver Blades novellas, we follow the adventures of Rip Clasicant, who has neglected both duty and honor in recent decades. His life of debauchery often rubs society the wrong way, and just as often it pushes back. Only superior skill with a blade has kept him alive thus far. Pertuli, his sarcastic but well-meaning sidekick, has his doubts about how much longer his friend's fortune will last.

Elsuon - The Stonecutter's Son (Part I - Book 1 | Unabridged)
"There is in the East, beyond the trick-spirits of the Sea of Pleats, a most-strange country. One that all who hear of it agree has lost and gained more than any kingdom in any place since the world first fell to the riot of those Old Disloyals." And so opens Elsuon. Two hundred years after a powerful sorceress, an undying queen, and a light-taming saint established a quivering truce in the Eastern Fortunes, a talented architect by the name of Branadan and his son Allesson enter the mysterious country of Nymiria. In Stormscale, the capital, a hard-as-nails Archduke prepares for war. As the centuries-old truce (formally known as the Passion of Aeolain) comes to an end, the seven great families of Nymiria contend for the Archduke's daughter, who, being of age before the law, must take a lord. If she marries, it is one war; if she doesn't, it is another. Other dangers are gathering: witches (Black Cast) who work twisted miracles; saint-despising separatists (Aeolistopalians) mobilizing near the Perch of the Gorgons; barbarians (Abareeds) on the march from the Sky Anvils; the Old Horde (Ghul Maraud and Puck Trolls) amassing in the Valley of the Moonseeds; and a foreign banking cartel (the Wounded Reliance) lead by a savior turned dark; and the arrival of a beautiful traveler from beyond the Keel of Stars. The final omen: a strange mountain that has slowly turned for nine thousand years suddenly stops, angering the lightning-spraying, whale-hunting dragons (Karganoi) who have roosted there for millennia. All this and much more gamble for the soul of Nymiria and the young life of a stonecutter's son- Allesson. Or, as destiny regards him- Elsuon.

The Heir of Darkness (but as people)
Heyyy! Indig0theS3aWing here! Here is your well deserved sequel!!! Hope you enjoy!!! In a flurry of plans, hellos and mix ups, two big reunions have been squashed together: the Jade Winglet and the Dragonets of Destiny. Two families who basically grew up together in school, now all grown up--with their children. But one child is set apart from all the rest. Primrose Haliavah, Sunny's daughter. Primrose always felt like she was a rain cloud in everybody else's sunny day. But when she finds out she's in line for the mafia throne of Vulture, she just about looses it. Sunny is reluctant to reveal the truth, so Tsunami hops on the case with Clay, Glory and Starflight beside her. Angelfish is mostly bombarded with voices like "if you were anything like you mom..." and "if only some of Tsunami were in you..." She has a small speck of introvert in her from her father, Riptide, and that small speck has a rather large effect on her. When Angelfish befriends the young Primrose, she seems to finally find somebody who understands the voices. But Primrose only seems like a hidden crypt, waiting to be discovered. Lyre is awkward and bookish and hardly fits in anywhere. He hopes to find a place in this wild family, and he almost does, but Primrose goes to him with her secret and he struggles to keep it. Primrose is the one thing stopping him from truly finding a place in the world, so why should he keep her secret? What should he do? Sunkeeper is usually happy and bright, but Primrose is just too... interesting. Like Knowledgebringer would say, "a book too interesting to put down." Sunkeeper is determine to be the hero she's always drempt of being, but what happens when the hero is faced with too much evil? Hope y'all enjoy!!! Tui T. Sutherland, you are my writing idol. :3
War Bird
Old feuds, new worlds, and a love that will last a lifetime... Ever since her dad mysteriously abandoned her family, life on the Clifton Estate hasn't been all that exciting for 16-year-old Marla True. Her Mum constantly works to make ends meet, which means Marla has to put up with gossipy old Bev keeping an eye on her and noisy little half-sister Ribbon. If that wasn't bad enough, her exam results are in... and they aren't good. But at least she has her friends. Asher, the responsible and strong boy who has known her all her life and Ed, the orphaned rebel who loves to stir up trouble. Then there's her, Marla, stubborn, fiery and just plain lost. Life on the estate is same-old same-old, until the senile World War Two veteran, Mr. Pelham, starts freaking Marla out with his staring and rambling, cryptic messages. Is he trying to warn her? Or hurt her? When the bored trio decide to teach the creepy old man it's rude to scare young girls, they learn far too late just how crucial it is to respect your elders. For his daughter, Bridget, has a power unlike anything they've ever seen before and she uses her deadly craft to send them to a place that will teach them the lesson of their lifetime. Bridget has sent them back in time, all the way to World War Two, throwing them into a secret fight for the survival of all magical folk in the world. Marla soon learns what it really means to be a True, and the power her absent father has kept from her all her life... Marla, Ed and Asher are thrown into a world they and their generation have no comprehension of, a world where love is a relic of a life left behind and your only duty is sacrificing all that you have. These three friends are about to learn about a side of World War Two that never made the history books. ***I can't take credit for the artwork, it's called A BREAK IN REALITY and it's by the AMAZINGLY talented Xenobyte on deviantart.

A Court of Wings and Fate
Some say that everyone's fate is already determined. If that's the case, Estelle Marzena is greatly disappointed with hers. Her greatest dream is to participate in the Illyrian Blood Rite and become a Carynthian warrior, like so many in her family. She has been training for the Rite her entire life, and yet, she continues to be told that she isn't ready. Estelle must find a way to prove her skills to her mentors so that she can prove her skills to the world, and she might have unwittingly stumbled across a way to do that. Being the bastard son of the High Lord of Dawn isn't something Mikael Anik takes lightly. Despite his parents' love and acceptance, Mikael continued to feel the pressure and unease of his people. His birth parents never married and he is a Peregryn halfbreed, the likes of which had never become a High Lord before. Mikael is devoted to proving himself to both his fathers and his people, but can he do that and deal with a surprisingly irritating Shadowsinger at the same time?
