The Shattered Realms series

The Shattered Realms Series An Epic Fantasy of Power, Betrayal, and the Return of the Gods In a world where floating realms drift through endless skies and the ancient gods have vanished, the fabric of reality begins to fracture. Their power remains scattered across the lands in the form of Godshards—artifacts of immense and dangerous power. These shards can reshape the world, but in the wrong hands, they could destroy it. When Kael, a young orphan, stumbles upon one of these legendary Godshards, he is granted forbidden power that thrusts him into a conflict far beyond his understanding. Pursued by rival factions and shadowy forces, Kael is joined by two unlikely allies—Lira, a fierce warrior with a pirate’s past, and Erynn, a scholar who holds the key to the gods’ forgotten secrets. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to find the remaining Godshards before those who seek chaos and domination claim them first. As they journey across shattered skies and battle monstrous creatures, Kael must grapple with the growing corruption within himself. The truth they uncover will challenge everything they believe—about the gods, their fractured world, and Kael’s own destiny. With the return of the gods looming, Kael faces a terrifying choice: will he wield his power to save the realms, or will it consume him and bring about their ultimate end? The Shattered Realms is a gripping, action-packed fantasy series that explores themes of power, corruption, unity, and sacrifice. Follow Kael and his companions as they navigate a crumbling world, where every choice carries weight and every step brings them closer to the ultimate truth.

Transmuted : Love of an Evening

[ Lynn, Sam and Mahone ] I put my t-shirt down, my hands shaking. I try to ignore them and stare at my reflection in the mirror. My hair color is dark brown and a vague hint of golden. My dad used to say that my eyes are ocean blue. A guy in my history class once said that I had perfect lips. Another guy said that I had a great body. They wanted to date me. And I dated few of them, too. I brush my fingers in my forehead. Then my dark, thick eyelashes. The side of my nose. My lips. I run my hand at my neck, then across my collarbone. Am I beautiful? Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm not. "You were wrong, Samlin Greenham." A voice inside my head suddenly whispers. "Calm down, Sammy," another voice whispers. It's the voice I loved. His voice is fading away. My hands start shake again, my breath rapidly quickening. I am losing control. I have to do something. "Goddammit!" I punch the mirror with my fist. It shatters into thousand pieces. My reflection has shattered into thousand pieces, too. The mirror now looks to me like an art. And my bloody knuckles. "I am sorry, Lynn. I can't promise you anymore, because you left me." I bite my lip to stop myself from crying. I won't cry. What's the point of crying? My sixth sense is suddenly alert. Somebody is watching me. I spin around. A guy is standing in front of the door, leaning against it. He wears a tight blue shirt, the sleeves folded. His black hair is ruffled and his hands are folded across his chest. The probable most amazing thing about him is his eyes. They are dark green. They are dangerous, beautiful and incredibly unreadable. And they are watching me.
