The Empty World is a 200K word darkly whimsical Fantasy novel, in the supernatural-protagonist tradition of The Sandman or The Vampire Chronicles, about a young daimon who watches over a muse after 'saving' her with a bottle of vampire blood and how they deal with the vampire who bottled that blood and its corrupting influence on the muse. Their story is a love-letter to Gothic subculture which explores issues of identity, agency, and accountability.

The Codex Morvalis: A Scholar's Testament by GF_Bissett

The Codex Morvalis: A Scholar's Testament The complete guide to a world where cosmic forces shape destiny. Magister Thaddeus Vallen breaks academic protocol to compile the most comprehensive guide to Morvalis ever attempted. After seven decades of cross-disciplinary research, this brilliant scholar risks censure to share knowledge the specialized academies have kept locked away in separate towers. From the cosmic forces that emerged from Primordial Chaos to the political intrigue of the Sovereign Pentarchy, from ancient bloodlines whose decline threatens reality itself to the shadow entities born from human trauma-this is the world in its entirety. Magic systems with deadly consequences. Cities where pattern-mages and storm-workers shape civilization. Families torn apart by ambition and cosmic forces beyond their control. But this isn't just worldbuilding for its own sake. Somewhere on a distant battlefield, a young man named Callan Tanner carries magical potential that could reshape everything-if he survives to claim it. The bloodline anchors are failing, shadow manifestations multiply in the darkness, and the delicate balance between creation and chaos grows ever more precarious. Twenty-two entries. One scholar's race against time to preserve knowledge before it's lost forever. A fantasy world where what we feel literally shapes what becomes real. Enter the Codex. Discover what lies beyond imagination.

It ripped the veil to Thule apart and revealed the realm of myths and legends. Beings that once only existed in the tales of the ancients now rule the world. In the ruins of the old times and an emerging new society with mighty rulers, the so-called Vaesen, the few survivors fight desperately for their existence while the remaining Cultists of the Thule Society work secretly to seal the world's fate once more. But amid chaos and despair, hope also arises. A Shapeshifter driven by revenge and an Bloodhunter of the Strigoi who harbors secrets of her own becomes caught up in the intrigue. Together, they embark on a hunt that could decide whether the world remains the same or undergoes another bloody transformation.

Grasp Heart by FaeSparks

Sara Luzio has always known that it is her duty to safeguard humanity from the creatures that lurk in the shadows. But when her clan perishes in the line of duty, Sara is forced to continue their legacy alone. On top of navigating her grief and trauma, Sara realizes her supposed safehouse isn't so safe. Vampires live down the street. Yet, unlike their blood-crazed kin, they exhibit a curious sense of... humanity. Despite her instincts screaming for her to be wary, Sara is drawn to them. In particular, a copper-haired vampire with a half-cocked smile. The longer she researches the coven, the more she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about vampires. Sara must decide whether to follow her heart or her hunter's instincts. Her journey will challenge her preconceptions, ignite forbidden passions, and force her to consider what it truly means to be human. The story is being worked into an audiobook on Youtube via Text-to-Speech using ElevenLabs. Each chapter will eventually have a link. Or find me on Youtube at FaeSparksOfficial to listen to the book 1 playlist. Notes: Strong sexual content will begin in book two. Polyamory to be hinted in book one, but come to fruition later in the series (book three). Main themes will revolve around morality, culture, and legacy. *Will try to complete before 2025 Ambys* Cover by Canva.
