Fated Links

In a fractured world where the veil between reality and the void-like Hollow Vale grows thinner each day, survival is a cruel game. Those who bear the mysterious Marks—fragments of ancient power tied to the world’s shattered balance—rise as warriors, rulers, or monsters. But the price of such power is steep: the stronger the Mark, the greater the risk of losing one’s humanity. Aeon Solis, a cunning thief living in the lowest tiers of society, has always relied on his wits and speed to survive. Uninterested in the chaos surrounding the Marked, he scrapes by stealing from those who can afford to lose a little. But when a botched heist throws Aeon into the Hollow Vale, he’s forced to confront the horrors lurking within—and emerges as the unwilling bearer of an ancient and cursed Mark: the Chains of Tenebra. Bound to a power that feeds on time and entropy, Aeon gains the ability to manipulate fragments of reality—but every use of the chains threatens to devour his soul. As whispers of his newfound power spread, Aeon becomes a target for both the ambitious Marked seeking to consume him and the enigmatic Sovereigns who rule this world from the shadows. Struggling to control the destructive potential of the Chains of Tenebra, Aeon must navigate a brutal world of sword and sorcery, form uneasy alliances, and uncover the truth behind the Marks. But as his power grows, so does the shadow of his destiny—a fate entwined with the Hollow Vale and the shattered remnants of a forgotten age. In a world where time itself is unraveling, Aeon must decide: will he use the Chains to forge his own path, or will he become the very monster he fears? ========================== Help me out by adding it to your library,reviews or power stones even a little helps a lot.

Told from the first-person point of view of Jemima, the novel follows her harrowing journey as she is drawn into the sinister world of the Vancourt family, who have been haunted for generations by supernatural forces. After the death of her husband, Sage, Jemima is contacted by a lawyer from the Vancourt estate, revealing that her late husband left an inheritance for their children, Kaius and Amari. However, to claim it, Jemima and her children must travel to the Vancourt mansion, a place that holds dark secrets and a disturbing history. As Jemima ventures into the mansion, she is confronted by the malevolent energy that still lingers there, alongside the powerful and intimidating Ryker Vancourt, the patriarch of the family. Throughout the novel, Jemima uncovers the horrifying truth about the Vancourts and the curse that has bound them for centuries. As she digs deeper, she discovers that her own husband, Sage, may have been a victim of the curse, and his death was not an accident but a desperate attempt to protect his family.

As the story progresses, Jemima’s son, Kaius, begins to exhibit disturbing abilities, suggesting that the curse is not only affecting her family but is slowly taking hold of them as well. The mounting tension builds to a terrifying climax as Jemima learns that to break the curse, she must make an impossible choice: sacrifice herself or her children. The novel concludes with a chilling realization that, although the curse may be broken, the lingering shadow of fear will never fully leave Jemima and her children. The Shape of Fear is a tale of love, sacrifice, and survival, exploring the idea that some legacies are too dark to escape, no matter how hard you fight.

Sunroot

Sunroot tells the story of a young man caught between the light of his father’s legacy and the darkness that has overtaken his former friends. Set in a vibrant and whimsical dark fantasy world brimming with extraordinary creatures and powerful forces, the story follows Orin, a boy born with a deep connection to nature, drawing strength from the sun and commanding the growth of plants. At a young age, Orin was kidnapped by a sinister organization known as The Veil, a secretive force that abducts children with unique powers and molds them into weapons for its own mysterious purposes. Orin’s father, Lucian, a legendary hero revered for his heroism and power, has spent years searching for his son, liberating countless children from the clutches of The Veil. But the damage wrought by the organization runs deep—many of the children, once freed, have become corrupted by the horrors they endured. They now roam the world, causing chaos and destruction, without the control that The Veil had once forced upon them. When Lucian finally reunites with Orin, it is clear that his son is no longer the innocent child he remembers. Orin, now a young man, has endured unimaginable trials and witnessed the fall of his friends into darkness. His heart aches not just for his own freedom, but for the redemption of those who have lost their way. Despite his kind and pacifistic nature, Orin takes it upon himself to stop his former comrades, torn between his duty to the world and his desire to save those who have become monsters. As Orin’s journey unfolds, he struggles with the weight of the world on his shoulders. The powers he once thought of as gifts now feel like burdens. His ability to command the natural world is incredible, but it serves as a constant reminder of what he has lost. His connection to the earth, though strong, is not enough to guide him through the moral dilemmas he faces: can his friends truly be saved, or is their redemption beyond his reach? Should he follow in his father’s footsteps as a hero, or carve his own path, uncertain and uncharted? Meanwhile, Lucian, whose powers are fading, must come to terms with the fact that his time as a hero may be coming to an end. He has long hoped that Orin would succeed him as a beacon of hope and light for the world, but he is unsure if his son is ready to bear such a heavy responsibility. Lucian’s faith in his son is unshakable, but he cannot help but fear the outcome of the battles that lie ahead, battles not just of blades and magic, but of the heart and the soul. At its core, Sunroot is a tale of growth, redemption, and the enduring power of hope. Orin’s journey will take him across vast landscapes, from lush forests bathed in water like sunlight to darkened lands ravaged by the remnants of The Veil. Along the way, he will face powerful enemies, haunting memories, and impossible choices. Sunroot is a deeply emotional, imagery rich fantasy that explores themes of loss, healing, and the delicate balance of light and dark. As Orin’s path unfolds, readers will be drawn into a world where the forces of nature themselves come to life, where the line between friend and foe is blurred, and where the greatest battles are not fought with weapons, but in the mind.
