Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

For as long as anyone can remember, humans have been preyed upon by Harbingers, living nightmares which devour dreams and passions and souls, and defended by Keepers. These children alone hold the gift of magic, the wild and wondrous ability to impose emotions over reality and empower their frail bodies with the splendor of their souls. Under their protection, humanity was able to survive and thrive.... more>>

While modern Keepers have come to enjoy a social position somewhere between celebrities and religious idols, very few accept the mantle simply to be a hero. The Messengers of the Goddess Claiasya, spirits charged with awakening the magic in suitable souls, promise that Keepers who consume and purify enough Harbingers will obtain the power to change themselves or the world in nearly any way they wish.

It’s for this purpose that Liadain Shiel, a young girl born terminally ill, throws herself into life as a Keeper when her opportunity comes, hoping against hope to rewrite her fate and save her life while she still can.

But magic wants its wielders to grow and change, not simply continue living, and the secrets swimming beneath the sea and behind the sky have lives and designs of their own.

Nowhere Stars is an ongoing fantasy-horror web novel about traumacore magical girls, nightmares clothed in ribbons and lace, alienation from reality, and broken children twisting the world into whatever shape they must to make their dreams come true.

Sacrificed as a child along with her family by demonic cultists, Reimia lives out a cycle of tragedy, survival, and revenge.... more>>

On her path to revenge, Rei fails over and over, dying to then be reborn in different times and places, gaining allies and advantages with each cycle... Only to lose them to the cruelty of time. Because all things die... Except her and the man who started it all.

- What to expect:
- Shadowbane is a long story about revenge.
- Reimia is very weak at the start.
- First person POV. I know some people don't like this, so here is your warning.
- Long chapters. Average 4-6k words, with some being close to 7k.
- New writer, figuring it out as I go. Hopefully I'm able to entertain you! <<less

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

[Author's Note]: I haven’t written anything for a few years so it might be a bit rough around the edges from the start of the story. The story is planned to have a slightly slow start as it builds up and has some moments of dark themes. It is planned to be a kingdom building/world building story as well as one revolving around the ‘Hunters genre’ like Solo Leveling but not from the Hunter’s side of the story.

Upon entering this world, at first I thought I could walk hand in hand with the main characters. But it turned out that besides trivial things, I couldn't help them create a joint legend. From internal arrogance that I could guide this world with my knowledge of the future, to mediocrity.... more>>

As it turned out, everything needed an explanation. I have knowledge of the future, but no power to act on it. Gradually, I stopped thinking about it and began to distance myself from the heroes. My indifference and detachment gradually pushed them away. Now there was no need to think about what to do, there was only one goal - to survive the war and live a normal life.

But what is this object that looks like a Rubik's cube...? <<less

And they will definitively not stand aside and wait for him to mature...

The theme of story is about man who is almost imposible to kill and the advantages and disadvantages that comes with it. Thus story will contain body experimentation, torture and other such things that are not for everyone. Of course, I don't plan to make it needlessly gory and uncomfortable for people. It won't be detailed that much.

The story was inspired from novels 'Immortal in the Magic World' and 'As an Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills. It is mostly about the idea of immortality rather than their story.

An enemies-to-lovers vampire romance... more>>

When the man I loved left me at the altar to run away with another woman, I thought there was nothing worse that could happen. I was wrong.

To save the family from financial ruin, my father married me to Viktor Volkov, a mysterious foreigner I only met once. I had to leave everything behind to live with a captivating but enigmatic husband.

Viktor's icy blue eyes were both alluring and intimidating, and despite the tension between us, I couldn't deny the attraction. As we navigated our complex relationship, the desire grew stronger.

One night, I made a shocking discovery in his bedroom: Viktor was a vampire. I knew I should escape while I could, but instead, I found myself longing for him to acknowledge and claim me as his own.

Could I really be in love with a creature of the night? If I fled, I'd lose the man I craved. If I stayed, I'd be forever changed. Would I resist temptation or surrender to my desires?
