loan settlement

Just because you're chosen, doesn't mean you want to be

Nicolas loves his village life just the way it is, everything as it's supposed to be.

When he is chosen for a task, he finds himself going out into a world he knows little about and feels completely unprepared for. His only comfort is that all he has to do is deliver a message. That should be pretty simple, right?

One near death experience later, Nicolas finds himself in a world of heroes, villains, magic and far too many undead creatures for his liking.

Caught up in events he can't control, he must, with the strange companions he meets along the way, foil a plot that may destroy his Kingdom as he knows it, maybe even the world. Thousands of lives are in the hands of someone who has never even picked up a sword, but at least he knows not to hold it by the pointy end.

Start your journey into the magical (and often dangerous) world of Etherius here, and follow this unlikely group of companions as they battle and banter their way through all manner of perils!

In Aidan's world, magic means power.

Indebted to a cruel duke, Aidan and his older brother make ends meet by tending sheep out in the country. It's a bit boring, and the sheep can get really stinky, but Aidan wouldn't have it any other way. His brother is the only family he has left.

When his brother is taken, Aidan refuses to sit by and do nothing. He enrolls in Mountainfall Academy to become a powerful Mage or Adventurer.

From the moment he enters the academy, it's clear the deck is stacked against him. He's an outcast with little knowledge of magic and a rival who'll stop at nothing to get him expelled. With the help of some new friends, he might survive his first year, but only if he can learn to control his unique magic.

If you love coming of age magic academy stories with found families, dragons, and other mythical creatures, Mountainfall Academy is for you. A clean teen high fantasy novel that adults will enjoy as well, this adventure is perfect for fans of Robyn Wideman, Pedro Urvi, and DK Holmberg.

Our parting shattered one soul and healed the other, carving a rift between worlds that may never mend.

Paislee

My family faded into the shadows of memory the moment I fled the cursed bounds of Ryker's estate.

Ten years passed in silence, until an unexpected message from my sister, Pandora, pulled me back like a spell I couldn't resist. I had no map, yet the path unfolded in my mind as if etched there by ancient magic. Even when a dark stranger warned me to pivot, I continued, drawn inexorably toward the place I'd sworn never to return.

Ryker may be gone, but something malevolent still clings to the land like a stain on my soul. An unseen force coils in the air, whispering secrets I can't quite hear. I ache to run—to vanish again—before I'm forced to face the remnants of my bloodline… or whatever they've become.

Pandora

I missed her.

Not in the sweet, aching way poets write about—but like a curse that wouldn't lift, a shadow clinging to my every step.

But I'm chasing one outcome, one forbidden hunt. The one person capable of granting it has been exiled. Now, with the fractured remnant of my family on the verge of reunion, the chance to reclaim the life I once dared to dream lies days away. So close I can taste the magic in the air.

All it will cost me is everything.

Every loyalty. Every oath. Every life tethered to mine.

I only have to betray them all.
