One day everyone saw the trailer for a new movie. It didn't credit anyone. It only had a release date. Many saw it and many fell in love with it. Then several novels under the same name were released. There was no shipping, They just showed in stores without anyone even noticing.

Please note while there will be references the world and characters are made up by me. Once again there will be light references but this is an original work I will write the expected upload date for the next chapter at the end of every post. Cover is Ai generated) <<less

Such faraway places as these are not built only upon money, glory, and autonomy, but also upon secrets, anonymity, and desperation.

The world is not without irony, as evident by my life. I was born Thurston Olaf Steenberg and grew up hating the Spellbinders and all... more>> that they stood for. I lived more than thirty-five years as a simple man.

In an alternate Earth where humans have the heads of animals, and where the animals aren’t always what they seem, the Firebird rules myth and legend. Said to have divine power, it appears every millennium to grant the wishes of a select few. A young woman discovers that she's among them, but there are two problems: She doesn’t remember ever seeing the Firebird, and she definitely doesn’t remember wishing for immortality!

Ignoring her thrill-seeking nature, she's decided that her only way forward is to get a degree. But after being attacked, she finds herself in a magical bond with a violent monster- one who's taken a keen interest in her ability. Now her only chance of getting her normal life back is to work with him and a group of newfound allies. She must dive into the space between life and death to uncover the Firebird's secrets, along with a few things about herself, too.

But her attacker is still on the loose, and the task is more dangerous than anyone realizes... <<less

The world is not what it seems. The veil of history has been drawn, magic and wonder relegated to folklore, myth, and religion. Science and culture advance, dismissing the very existence of mythic beings as so much hokum. Yet these Creaturae — the remnants of bygone ages — linger, striving to maintain a place in a world that has convinced itself they don't exist.... more>>

Aaron Abrams is frustrated, fed up with his failure to live up to his so-called potential. Assassination attempts and strange new abilities leave him questioning his sanity until he's pulled into the Drakon, an ancient society that loosely unites and governs the descendants of the most legendary beasts — dragons. To survive the threat of his enemies and make the most of his new life, Aaron will need to learn about magic, the power of his heritage, the hidden world of the Creaturae, and figure out just what the hell he's going to do as the long-awaited leader of the Drakon. At least dragons are rich, right?

Tannel died young, yet his legacy as a mage remains unparalleled. A prodigy in the magic of machinery, his techniques have not been fully replicated three hundred years after his passing, and the creation of an artificial life has never been successfully attempted again. But the greatest of his deeds was one that cost him his life, a sacrifice that he made willingly to halt a catastrophe, though then he did not yet understand the true extent of the threat to the entire world.... more>>

Never did he expect that he would yet live again. Nor would he have wished for it, for the terrible price for his second chance was paid by his own family, who had taken on his mantle of sacrifice in his absence. Centuries have passed and the world is no longer as he once knew it. The body he now inhabits was someone else's, and even the nature of his own existence eludes his understanding. But what has not changed is the weight of his responsibilities.

But it is also his chance to tackle the threats that remain, that had forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice, to solve the mysteries that he never had the time to unveil, but which nonetheless would not let him rest at peace. With ancient things on the move and numerous magics at work that evade his comprehension, these are challenges to his pride that can't be left unanswered.

[I died and was accidentally reborn as an angelic monstrosity, so now I’m building a holy dungeon-tower that is tall enough to reach the gods; so that I can complain about it! But the humans think that I am trying to destroy the world.]
____________________________
The senselessness of so much of the world’s death and suffering is made apparent to the dying paladin, Isaiah, in his final moments before he perishes and is, shortly thereafter, reborn into a comparatively quiet and peaceful existence as a simple blackbird.... more>>

However, the powerful magic of the god whom Isaiah himself had served in his prior human life upends this latest existence, as a spell goes awry, turning the entity instead into a strange, angelic monstrosity that is neither man nor animal.

Isaiah, desperate to return to its simple life as a blackbird, sets out to build the tallest tower ever seen by the eyes of the world in order to reach the reclusive gods who reside in the heavens above and make them undo the transformation in a bid to allow itself an escape from the complex suffering of intelligent, self-aware mortality.
