The blizzard rises day after day in the Frostbanks, forcing numbing snow and deadly winds onto the land and its people. In defiance to nature itself, the city of Oglios stands amidst the storm and even thrives thanks to the Suntower's protection, an artifact of old now relegated to simple fixture, its secrets fiercely guarded by the Scorched Circle, whose members regulate the flow of Returned, husks of the departed, in and out of the city.

Part of the larger nation of Gonphar, Oglios has obligations to respect if it wants to keep its relative independence, and the city's elite busies itself to fulfill their orders, supplying Gonphar as a whole with cheap labor in the ways of countless Returned. Meanwhile, the specter of war rears its dreadful head from across the mountains as border tensions with the Ehodan Kingdoms increase. Yet most ignore the threat, having more pressing concerns right within Oglios where warmth is limited, and free space is at a premium.

Three individuals converge during these trying times, lost in their personal struggles.

The Echo, an outsider in several degrees, returns to a family still mourning their mother's passing to uncover her wrongdoings. He would fulfill a promise, and perhaps find himself in the process, all the while having to conceal who and what he is.
The Dutiful reaches into criminal matters by authority of the Office of Inquiries. Held by guilt over her choices, she struggles to make it day-by-day, turning to Nostalgia for release. A thirst for vengeance fuels her will and keeps her going towards the ultimate goal.
The Collector, a mortician by trade, dwells in opposite circles. Pulled by decades old ties to the Circle, he stays loyal to the city in his own way by moving through the underworld in order to uproot corruption.

This is a work in progress, obviously. I want this to be a fully fleshed out novel eventually. It has a lot of moving pieces and things I'm still figuring out which is mostly still in my mind but I still wanted to put it out there, and hopefully get some feedback! Some chapters will very likely end up getting scrapped from the final product as I dig further into the story, and I will also go back and revisit older chapters to fix grammar, continuity errors, etc.

The plains of Druvan'hal'or have fallen under the iron grip of the Orc Kingdom, ruled by Ragnar Brorhaz, a tyrant consumed by his thirst for power. The villagers live in misery, forced to labor under the constant threat of violence. Amid this destruction, a young man named Ardan Kael from the village of Erindor resolves to fight back, unaware that he is the last surviving heir to the long-lost Kingdom of Kaelvoria. With the aid of Eira Lyndor, a runaway princess, Ardan leads a rebellion that could reshape the fate of humanity in Druvan'hal'or.... more>>

Yet, Ardan's challenges are not limited to external threats. Internal conflicts often shake his resolve. As an inexperienced young leader, he is haunted by the weight of guilt for the lives lost in his struggle. At the same time, the growing bond between him and Eira forces Ardan to confront a heart-wrenching dilemma: can he place the needs of his people above his own happiness? This burden turns Ardan's journey into more than just a war against the Orcs-it becomes a quest to discover his true self.

In the midst of their fight, Ardan and Eira uncover ancient ruins that conceal a power capable of stopping the Orcs. However, to claim it, they must navigate treachery, inner turmoil, and the relentless threat of Ragnar Brorhaz, who will stop at nothing to dominate the lands of humankind. With Ardan's leadership, Eira's courage, and the support of their allies, this rebellion will determine the future of Druvan'hal'or: freedom or total annihilation.

Through every trial, Ardan and Eira stand together, their unyielding determination the beacon of hope for a land engulfed in darkness. The battle for Druvan'hal'or is not just a clash of swords-it is a fight for survival, love, and the enduring spirit of humanity. <<less

The sky never falls without a reason.... more>>

When the heavens cracked open and the world was erased, I should have died with it.
Instead, I woke up in a world that was never meant for me.

A world of elves, dwarves, forgotten gods, and unspeakable horrors. A world untouched by time—but not untouched by fate.

But in this world, luck means nothing.

Aleks was never a hero.

Just a boy who spent too much time watching life from the sidelines.
Too quiet to stand out. Too tired to care.
He never wanted glory. Never wanted war.

But when the creatures of the void devoured his world, when existence itself crumbled beneath their weight, Aleks found himself thrown into a reality where gods walk among men, monsters lurk in the shadows, and history is written by those willing to fight for it.

And fight, they must.

Why was he saved?
And why does it feel like this isn’t the first time it’s happened?

Because somewhere, buried in the ruins of a forgotten past—
The truth is waiting. <<less
