An existence revered even by gods themselves grows bored-and decides to retire. After stepping away from divinity, he is reborn as Wright, a mortal in a fragile fantasy world. Inspired by the slow, peaceful lives he once read about in manga, Wright sets out to enjoy an otherworldly retirement: a small house in the forest, a garden to tend, good food to eat, and absolutely zero responsibility for the fate of reality. Or at least, that's the plan. This is the story of the quiet, everyday life of a manga-obsessed former god-trying to live slowly in a world that can't quite handle him.

Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

Felina never asked for destiny to choose her. Branded by a mysterious power and hunted by enemies she can't remember, she is dragged into a world of forgotten magic and ancient kingdoms. Everyone expects her to be someone she's not-a lost princess reborn, a savior foretold-but Felina only wants to return to her own world. As memories slam back and unpredictable powers erupt, Felina is hit with a brutal truth-learn to survive this world, or die in it. In a land ruled by fairies, witches, and creatures born from old legends, Felina must navigate deadly adventures, unravel ancient secrets, and face beasts older than legends. Dark forces gather, kingdoms tremble, and whispers of war stir across the realm. But when fate demands a leader, Felina must make an impossible choice: run from the destiny she never wanted... or rise and lead an army in a war she didn't sign up for.

Then again, nobody ever promised becoming a sorcerer would be easy...

ton was never meant to matter. Born into a forgotten branch of a noble house, he grew up knowing exactly what he was: expendable.

Nori's Cove is a small fishing village on the cold northwestern coast. Remote, quiet, and unlikely to matter to anyone. Lirra, a seventeen-year-old Circle-Keeper's apprentice, would like nothing more than to leave it behind. Oru, the village's ancient Memory-Holder, has been hoping to die here in peace. Neither of them gets what they want. Something is growing in the east. Slowly - but measurably. And the village's only ally with the standing to do anything about it is Hekka Thornwater of the Cedar Clan, a week's hard travel away in the city of Greyvast. So Oru goes, because someone has to. Davrak - an aging Islander warrior with old wounds and older secrets - goes because she shouldn't go alone. Toven Grath - the Imperial Augur who discovered the problem - goes because he needs a new telescope. And Lirra goes because she begged, and because there is someone in Greyvast she needs to meet, and a future she hasn't told anyone she's been imagining. (The series will be called 'The Fractured Sky', but I haven't settled on a name yet for this book. Please let me know if you have any ideas.)

Ave was perfectly content being a dramatic ten-year-old alien prince with mild authority issues and excellent hair. His biggest concern in life should've been surviving school and avoiding public speeches. Instead? He's informed he's the key to ending a centuries-long war between two enemy empires. Because nothing says "lasting peace" like forcing two royal heirs who can't stand each other into an arranged political marriage. Enter Prince Darius Eric Collins of Alandcro - infuriating, arrogant, devastatingly composed, and unfortunately impossible to ignore. Oh, and it gets better. On a planet where Alphas and Omegas rule at the top of the hierarchy, Ave grows up fully expecting to present as a powerful Alpha like generations before him. He does not. He presents as a dominant Omega. Which is shocking. Offensive. Highly inconvenient. Especially when Eric presents as a dominant Alpha. Of course he does. Now the two most powerful bloodlines on Ygoria - heirs to abilities capable of destroying nations - are bound together under the watchful eyes of a solar-system government that doesn't trust either of them. They hate each other. They compete with each other. They absolutely refuse to be controlled by pheromones, destiny, or political manipulation. And yet... Some wars aren't ended by treaties. Some are ended by surrender. Enemies. Rivals. Future rulers. Unfortunately for them, the universe has a sense of humour. And it ships them.

As ancient powers stir and alliances fracture, three unlikely warriors rise to become legends. AI assisted writing. I'm am an EXTREMELY novice writer, I've never been good at writing and making it sound good. But I've had ideas for these characters in my head for about 30 years. I have created the world setting with names and places, a timeline, a calendar and date system, and a fairly extensive character background for all of my main characters. I have fed about 10,000 words (as of the first couple sections) into ChatGPT and had it take my ideas for this story and make them flow and sound better. I have spent a good deal of time training ChatGPT of the canon elements of my story so that it doesn't mess anything up and I've adjusted and tweaked everything that it has created. Hopefully you enjoy what I've been creating. Cover art created with ChatGPT. Character artwork by me using Procreate. Canva used for artwork pages. This story will be posted on Royal Road as well.

Book One Blurb The darkness does not creep in. It arrives. Olinda Corn is not a hero. She is a scholar with an unauthorized library, a perfect memory she never asked for, and a very clear plan to stay out of whatever catastrophe is quietly swallowing the northern edges of Valdenmoor. The rune order has it handled. The rune order is wrong. And when their response fails, and the darkness takes its first step out of the Hollow and into the world, Olinda finds herself doing the one thing she swore she would never do. Getting involved. With a loyal friend who would die for her, a rune broker whose motives she cannot fully trust, a rival whose cold precision she needs more than she wants to admit, and a mentor whose secrets run deeper than she knows, Olinda must navigate a war being fought in the oldest language in the world. A language encoded in her bones since childhood by someone who never asked her permission. The Lady of Darkness is not what she fears. It is what the Lady of Darkness serves. And it is waking.

For three years, Aly Peterson has lived a lie. While the princess of Telidore wastes away from a mysterious curse, Aly pretends to be her-navigating royal politics, unstable magic, and a fake betrothal to her own cousin, Benj of Secundae. All to protect her sister Emily, a werebunny and proud trainee in the Royal Guard. Roald of Deld, the son of a powerful noble house and her oldest friend, is the only one who sees the girl beneath the crown. In secret, he courts her. In secret, he loves her. And in one breathtaking moment of sacrifice, he throws himself in front of a curse meant to kill her. Wracked by guilt, Aly is left with no time to grieve as the kingdom teeters on the edge of civil war. Twisted by dark magic and bound to powers neither of them understand, Roald has become a threat to the very kingdom he once swore to protect. The king urges her to forget him, swearing he's lost forever. Aly will break every oath she's sworn to save him. But when a sip from the wrong goblet traps her in the fae court's deadly revelry-where mortals dance themselves to death-a mysterious traveler steps in. A rival for the alliance she needs to find Roald, the two of them form an uneasy truce in search of something greater: the means to stop an uprising before it tears Telidore apart. Her new ally is a broody man with too many secrets and an irritating tendency to poke fun at her failings, but only with his help can she save the people she loves. Yet some curses can't be broken. Some loves can't be reclaimed. And some futures can only be forged by letting go of the past.

When an ancient corruption known as Enmity collapses the library around her, the artifact saves her life by doing the impossible: it tears a hole in the sky. Transported to the Soaring Realms-a universe of floating islands, crystalline spires, and magic that pulses like a heartbeat-Kaia discovers she is no longer just a scholar. She is a Fateweaver. Now, bound to the power of the four great Looms-Draco, Aurion, Calmera, and Noctus-Kaia must master the threads of destiny before the Enmity devours this world, too. The library didn't let her go. It sent her home. Fate has been rewritten. And there is no going back.
