A Child of Ashes

 


A Child of Ashes: Volume 1: The False King


 The Era of Kings Is Ending…


The world began changing in ways no one anticipated. Growing in power and influence, John Hargrove has spent his life collapsing and ridding figures of power around Arlax Realm. And now his sights are set on the thrones of the Six Southern Kingdoms.

Leon Melstorm, the second son of the King of Aithon, has lived a life of isolation; trapped in the royal palace for reasons unknown to him. Leon waited, yearning for a call that will allow him to see the world he was kept from.

The call he got, was not the one he wanted.

When John massacres powerful figures of the Aithonian throne, Leon is forced out of his home and is piled with an immense responsibility to save the Realm that he hardly knows. Seen as incapable, spoiled, and ignorant, Leon is tossed into an epic adventure of challenges and tragedy and is marked as the Realm’s last hope between stability and total chaos.

The adventure that Leon had wished for will transform him into a hero that will bring peace—or into a villain that brings the chaos that he was fighting to prevent.

Proxima Bound

 


Proxima Bound


Humanity's last hope rests with the colonists aboard the generational starship Attenborough. Bound for Proxima Centauri, a thousand years away. Catastrophe strikes when a reactor meltdown cuts off those in the ship's front from the rear. Two factions must now struggle to survive.

With four hundred years still to travel, we join a plucky teenager, "Thief". She's found a way through the ventilation system, around the radioactive core of the ship and into the front sections. Thief brings back vital components that might help the rear-dwellers connect the ship's computer. For the first time in hundreds of years, there is hope.

But people are disappearing without a trace, and the makeshift hospital is overflowing with cases of a new virus.

It's up to Thief to embark on her toughest mission yet. To crawl through the bowels of the ship, the furthest she's ever been, and find some answers, before there's no-one left alive.

What she finds at the front of the ship, however, is terrifying

Firebird

 


Firebird


After the barn burns with her would-be lover inside, the teenage Princess Luella is resigned to the possibility of spinsterhood. She burns those too close to her - in moments of passion or anger. The reclusive life does not suit her vanity, but it does not remain quiet forever. Ten years later, a temper flare during a rare venture outside castle walls reignites the people's fear and the princess is even blamed for the drought that settles on the land. Facing a variety of threats, she has no choice but to accept marriage from a chilly foreign prince.

For protection.

For the land.

Yet, she also admits that he is a man "made for kissing," and her last attempt at that has resulted in tragedy.

Prince Metheus seems like the perfect match for the fiery Luella. He is calm and practical. He has no intention of making the marriage a physical affair. So, he never sees Luella as a threat to his life. All he wants is to cure the land and prove to the Mogochislenians that the people of Arrowspear are not barbarians.

Despite their decision to keep the marriage political, fate has a way of intervening. Common enemies threaten their lives and getting to know each other breaks down their pride.

Will Metheus finally reveal his true identity?
Will Luella, the firebird, be finally tamed?

What's certain is that they need to work together to survive.

The gist: alt-Medieval setting, demigods, avian shifter, witches, opposites attract, love after marriage, slow-burn to steamy romance

Toothless

 


Toothless (HD Lite Adventure Series)


Toothless is a LitRPG Horror novel about four individuals who must navigate through a glitched game system that reads their minds and knows their fears. It is a gripping tale—

[Hold up. Let’s break the blurb and get real with the description. This is a story about 4 friends who are trapped in an RPG. However, it’s a hilarious attempt at horror that will keep you engaged and thrilled if you enjoy: LitRPG, Crunchy stats, Crazy player stunts, and a Glitched game system. If those aren’t your thing, this probably isn’t for you—and that’s okay. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the story. It’s a quick read that skims the surface of the mind and fear—enough to create questions (but requires you to look for the answers). So, without further ado—]

Read the thrilling adventure and uncover the depths of unrestrained fears [maybe?] with Toothless.

The Gods Are Not Dead

 


The Gods Are Not Dead


Book Description

What will you be if nothing could stop you? What would you do if you knew you were indestructible?

Everything in Shaurya’s life was comfortably mundane until he discovers his special, newly acquired abilities.

High on this newly attained aleatory power, he is restless, wandering aimlessly. He doesn’t know how to use his abilities for the benefit of humanity. But when he meets Megha, a mysterious yet sagacious woman, his life gets the explosive spurt he needed.

Driven by a desire to serve, Shaurya’s path will be tough. Only Megha can teach him how to navigate the edge effectively. In their partnership, she is the Aristotle to his Alexander; the Chanakya to his Chandragupta. She directs, and he performs. Together, they complement each other perfectly.

Their vision is mammoth and their path precipitous, but they are willing to give their all, no matter what the cost. Sometimes, it takes just one Sisyphus to change the world. Or perhaps two. But no matter how many times the boulder rolls down, the process must start again—ad infinitum.

Maybe it’s God’s will. Or maybe not. But He is certainly not dead. He will never be.

Some early reviews (pre-release)

"God can never be dead. Period!" - Beta Reader
"Prepare yourself to read something entirely different." - Reader (ARC)
"There can never be a spiderman in this world, but only Shauryadev." - Beta Reader
"The story takes an extremely sharp turn from the middle of the book but for good." - Reader (ARC)

The Strange Ways of Dragons

 





The Strange Ways of Dragons takes the reader on an whirlwind journey into the cryptic, labyrinthine mindscape of the great winged serpent. Through the compelling poetic storytelling of Arthur Lee Conway, a riveting allegorical tale is revealed, one where dragons are both fire-breathing and antics-stirring in equal measure. Their sense of sight is far grander than that of an eagle’s, their sense of hearing is more potent than an elephant’s, and their greed is ever-ravenous. It is also crucial (and possibly life-saving) to never judge a dragon by its scaly cover because no matter their striking hue or level of heartwarming charm, madness resides beneath.
