"Do you know what every hero has in common? They bleed, they suffer, they save the world-only to be broken, forgotten, left to rot. Not a single one gets peace. Not a single one gets a happy ending. But me? I will end this cycle. I will give the world a better story-one where the heroes win, and finally get the ending they deserve."
In the fractured world of Zenith, where divine relics pulse beneath the earth and rifts spill nightmares into the sky, fate forges an unlikely alliance to defy annihilation. Valen, a rare Pantheon from Corinthia, is gifted with the Hero's Journey-the power to relive and wield the strength of long-dead heroes.
At his side stands Ashley, a Flameborn forged in discipline and duty, a steadfast protector whose fiery will shields her allies. With them is Riley, a charismatic Verdant whose humor and warmth mask a deep empathy. But their fragile balance is threatened by Nyx, an enigmatic Azrael bound by an unsettling connection to the very rifts they fight to destroy.
Together, they must uncover the truth behind the rifts and the power hidden within their souls. Yet in a world where memory is power and prophecy a weapon, every step forward draws them closer to becoming another tragedy in the endless cycle of forgotten heroes.

Chase the Villian
Two childhood friends. One turned golden boy loved by all, shining on the court and in the classroom. The other became a shadow dangerous, sharp-edged, and unapologetically cruel. Years later, college brings them back into each other's orbit. But nothing is the same. Not the stolen glances, not the late-night silences, and definitely not the way one of them now feels like the beginning of a war. What begins as a slow unraveling soon spirals into something darker. Secrets claw their way to the surface. Loyalty turns to obsession. Love becomes a game of power, punishment, and possession. This isn't a story of soft touches or sweet confessions. It's about chasing the villain, even when you know he'll ruin you. Especially when you want him to. Some stories aren't written to be safe. Some are written to hurt and still, you beg for more.

[COMPLETE, 100,000+] The Young Riders meets The Vampire Diaries in this tale of brother vs brother and blood magic in a secondary fantasy world. Llew has a gift. Her body heals itself from any injury-but at a cost to anyone nearby. In a small country ignorant of magic, freeing oneself from the hangman's noose isn't a good look. After dying and coming back thrice, Llew drops from the gallows into the hands of Jonas: the man carrying the knife with the power to kill her-permanently. The last of his warrior race, Jonas is surrounded by the ghosts of his loved ones. At his side, the cursed knife that took their lives. Jonas has learned the hard way that caring for others means their death. Jealousy of his half-brother's celebrated strength and speed drove Braph to create the device that gives him the power to perform magic, any magic. But it needs fuel-the blood of a healer... Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavored with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy.

The Last Phoenix (book 1)
Ren is a quiet teen in a small New Zealand town. He just wants to finish school, avoid the local bullies and maybe tell his best friend how he feels. But one blistering summer day he bursts into flames and emerges as the Sun God's champion: a radiant, female warrior. For generations, the Phoenix's power has passed through the women of his family, so his grandmother is as shocked as he is when it chooses a boy. As Ren struggles to control fire, wings and teleportation, strange phenomena - frozen lakes in summer, earthquakes that seem to think - signal that the world is unraveling. Ancient enemies known as the Shadows of the Eclipse feed on chaos and are awakening. Torn between hiding in his hoodie and facing a destiny he never wanted, Ren must decide who he is, what he will fight for and whether to trust the boy who's always been by his side. This isn't a fairytale. It's messy, queer, and sometimes heartbreaking. But if you're into mythic fantasy with real feelings, and a protagonist who literally sets himself on fire to save the world, jump in. The world's last Phoenix is a boy, and he's just getting started.Complete
