The Realm of Meriath. A world populated by four species: Humans, Beast Folk, Beasts, and the Undead. Four thousand years ago, the world almost ended as the intelligent species of Meriath knew it. They were on the verge of being overrun by the Undead hordes. It was only averted thanks to multiple figures rising above all else from both the ranks of Humans and Beast Folks. With their lead, they pushed back and broke down the Undead menace, working hard to reclaim their Realm. ... more>>

When the Dark Ages ended, only six remained standing from those heroes of yore. They were the Patriarchs and Matriarchs of their families, establishing the Six Houses of Meriath. Families that are, after 4000 years, still present and still guard the Realm against the Undead. Their mission is to ensure they never rise back to the same frightening state as before, endangering every living being on Meriath.

The House of Amarin is one of these Six Houses. Situated in the most northern part of Meriath, they continue their mission of dealing with the Undead to this day. Lia, born to bear the name of Amarin, is only now starting to realize her own powers, but as the family's youngest daughter, she is not exempt from responsibilities. A responsibility that nobody knew at the start what would entail regarding the future of not just the House of Amarin but the whole Realm of Meriath...

King Einar, the astonishing king of the great and only continent, one day decided to choose a new heir to his kingdom from among his five most precious sons. ... more>>

By giving each of them different duties, King Einar did something unchangeable and unimaginable that day. He gave them an order and not only a task or a quest to accomplish, but he also wanted his sons to accomplish their duty with maturity, with honor, and with pride.

But nothing, he wanted to do went in order, just because of his son. The eldest and most powerful brother, "Yores", opposed this situation. He decided that it would be better, if the King gave them a second chance. But everything was chosen, and he found himself another solution to conquer his biggest rival.

Lost, against anything that he wanted to win.

So he made a deal with the most powerful lineage, "The Apocalypse Lineage," to take the throne. And by obtaining power, he started a rebellion.

After Yores took the throne, he ruled the people in such a manner for years, damaged many relationships and made himself the evilest person to ever be seen. But even his reign, came to an end.

A wolf descendant, one of the strongest lineage's people, challenged Yores. Jiro, the strongest person among bloodlines. He was so brave, so strong, and so dauntless. He was someone who changed many things. The Battle of Jiro and Yores continued for three days exactly, and their battle, being heard all over the continent, changed the entire world.

He has to travel to many different worlds, taking over an identity of some unfortunate soon-to-be-dead dude, and live out the remainder of his new life there however he wanted.

Noah: "...Blackie, is it just me, or is this good brother of mine looking at me like a hungry wolf seeing a juicy piece of meat?" (°△°|||)

Black: "Don't worry, host. He is just a bit excited due to nearly losing his life back there. You know, adrenaline." (¬‿¬)

Noah: "…are you sure that's what's really going on here?" (っ °Д °;)っ

Black: "Absolutely!" (≖‿≖)

Noah: "This secret mission that you can't tell me about… it can't possibly be to get fucked by the least appropriate target?!" (°ㅂ°╬)

Black: "Of-of course not! Ho-how could that possibly be, eh?" (; ﾟ 3ﾟ )~♪

There was something down there, in the crypt.... more>>

Matty wasn't anything like his brother, or the other guys in the village, as much as it annoyed his father. He couldn't help it — he hated the idea of bulking up and learning to fight. Why'd he want to do that when he could spend time with Colette, the older woman that would tell all kinds of stories about his mother?

Some secrets were never meant to be shared. The Truth of his mother, the Truth of the village itself.

There's something dangerous in the deepest depths, and... in the end, Matty might have to learn to fight anyway. <<less

The Second Book of the Olympus Series... more>>

The Great God Zeus Lives! He is not as gracious as billions upon billions thought. Once imprisoned, he has now escaped, and the fate of the Universe lies with him. His treachery will reach the most outer rims of space and the darkest secrets that no one should see are to be revealed. The creatures that were imprisoned, the monsters that were vanquished are returning and not one soul will be safe. Even death will not take away the agony that is about to be unleashed.

An ”unique” group of nine species are the only hope for the Universe. They were led to this hidden galaxy because they were said to be chosen for this purpose. Many would find this “laughable”.

The device nicknamed the “Godmaker”, can give these nine species god-like powers, but only if they are able to withstand the pain and anguish that it inflicts. Each of them must relive their worst moments in their life and the stronger the pain the more powerful they become, only if they survive.

Olympus is now their home. Their old lives are gone. The only hope of the Universe is for them to be reborn. This is the New Beginning! <<less

The golden knight, a summoner of fire and poetry enthusiast who loves speaking in verses takes the huge responsibility of cleansing the negativities that plague the unusual city of Ravenhide. This is the story of a mysterious swordsman with a blurry past and present who embarks on a spiritual journey to uncover his lost memories and decipher the truth behind his existence.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a completed novel that has been edited countless times and sent to Readers Favorites for an honest review.
Below is the review from Carine Engelbrecht from Readers Favorites.... more>>

In Rhythm of Rampage, the enigmatic Golden Knight arrives in Ravenhide, a city plagued in the dark hours by various forms of supernatural life forms. He enlists as a bounty hunter and early on his path crosses that of Blaze, a woman with deep psychological wounds and a sharp pair of blades.

They become professional partners, pooling their talents to kick demonic ass and search for the elusive clues to the true identity of the Golden Knight - or GK for short. Some of GK's abilities suggest that there could be something monstrous about his aspect. The mysteries of Ravenhide are interwoven with harsher realities on another world - the cruel dystopia of Sinners Planet.

One of the best things about the story is a truly fascinating bestiary of monsters. Most of these tend to hide under the camouflage of human skin. And that can be downright twisty. It keeps the pace tight and drives the mystery and action of the story. It makes you question the nature of nearly every character, including the Golden Knight himself. This fluidity of internal logic is reminiscent of a computer game world, where an occasional shuffling of reality can bring new elements into play. The two main characters are clearly drawn. GK is defined by his underlying compassion, whereas Blaze hides troubling memories beneath an abrasive, wise-cracking exterior. Rhythm of Rampage is an entertaining, action-packed read, especially for fans of sword and sorcery or SF noir." <<less

After being rejected by the man he thought he'd marry, Jesse travels to DeiganLupus for the Grey Moon Ceremony. However, when the ship he was supposed to take is lost at sea, he boards the Silver Treader to reach his destination. But the Galleon turns out to be carrying more than military and medical supplies, and the prisoner in the brig knows his name.

- ⥽ ◯ ⥼ -

Without the determination or skillset to join his family's hunting business, Omega wolf Jesse makes a last-ditch effort to find his life's meaning. He travels to DeiganLupus for the Grey Moon Ceremony, a yearly celebration where most rejected and unwanted wolf walkers like him find their soulmates. However, not only is the ship he was supposed to take lost at sea, but the only way to get there is on board a military vessel carrying supplies...and a dangerous prisoner.

The moment Jesse boards, his instincts warn him of nearby danger, but they also urge him to follow a mysterious voice echoing through the vents. After crossing paths with Ross, a wolf walker on trial for the murder of hundreds of his own kind, Jesse's objective to reach DeiganLupus is overshadowed by the possibility that this criminal might be the very wolf he'd come looking for.

But when he learns that Ross is the Alpha of an outlawed pack that his family have been hunting for years, he is faced with a gut-wrenching decision: hand over his mate and hope it's enough to prove his worth to his family, or stick with the man whose soul is tied with his and turn his back on his family for good.
