Sverd Sands Undiscovered

Duality of Shadows

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

With each step closer to the truth, the hero realizes his sister’s death, his friend’s loss, and his own awakening are all connected to a secret long buried—and a danger long forgotten. But as dark forces circle, one question haunts him: Was the real threat ever his uncle, or has something far more sinister been pulling the strings all along? In a town where loyalty is tested, and nothing is as it seems, the past may hold answers, but it also holds monsters. Some things are better left undiscovered.

ASTASHICA: Eternal Starborn Dominion

A World at War. A Tyrant’s Reign. A Hero’s Rise. For centuries, the world of Astashica has endured the relentless grip of war. Kingdoms have fallen, civilizations have crumbled, and the remnants of the past lie buried beneath the sands of time. From the floating fortress of the Defiance Vanguard, the ruthless warlord Cosmus seeks to bring all of Astashica under his dominion. With the power of the Azurevat missiles, weapons of unimaginable destruction, he wages his final campaign—a war that will either crown him as the eternal ruler or reduce the planet to dust. But fate has set another force in motion. Tlandar – The Reluctant Champion Born far from the halls of power, Tlandar never sought war—but war found him. Torn from his home and thrust into conflict, he rises as the last hope of the resistance. Wielding the twin blades of Val’katl, he walks the fine line between a warrior and a leader, a survivor and a savior. Against him stands Cosmus, the supreme overlord of Astashica, whose dreadnought spans the sky like a god of war. With his armies of Asemeri warlords, his Solar Guardian armada, and his impenetrable throne-world, Cosmus rules through conquest and destruction. But there are forces beyond even him. A World Torn Apart – A War Beyond Time When the Defiance Vanguard unleashes its final weapon, reality itself fractures. Temporal storms rage, ancient machines fail, and the planet begins to collapse. The very force that sustained life, the Xhalaks, ceases to function, leaving the world on the brink of suffocation. Amidst the chaos, Tlandar discovers a message hidden within the ruins of New Asemeri—there are still survivors. But time is running out. With retrograde cyclones twisting across the planet, oceans swallowing entire cities, and the sky blackened by war, Tlandar must choose: Will he rise to lead the remnants of a shattered world? Or will he fall before the tyrant of the Defiance Vanguard? The Final War Begins. A battle of fate. A dominion of eternity. A legend waiting to be forged. This is Astashica.

The Iron Falcon

In the heart of Central Asia, where empires rise and fall like the shifting sands, a warrior emerges who will shape history with his sword, his strategy, and his unwavering faith. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni—a name that would echo across centuries as both a conqueror and a patron of culture—sets out on a relentless campaign to expand his empire, challenge the mightiest rulers, and carve his place among history’s greatest kings. Mahmud, the eldest son of Sabuktigin, inherits not just his father’s kingdom but also his unyielding ambition. Born into the rugged lands of Ghazni, he learns early that power is not given; it is seized through blood, battle, and sheer will. But with great power comes great enemies—both within his court and beyond the frontiers of his realm. The story of The Iron Falcon is one of war, betrayal, loyalty, and a vision greater than one man’s thirst for conquest. The Rise of a Conqueror From the moment Mahmud ascends the throne, he faces opposition from his own family. His brother, Ismail, backed by courtly conspirators, attempts to claim the crown, igniting a bitter power struggle. But Mahmud is no ordinary ruler—his mind is as sharp as his sword. Through clever alliances and ruthless military tactics, he secures his place as the unchallenged Sultan of the Ghaznavid Empire. Yet, this victory is merely the beginning. Determined to extend his dominion, Mahmud sets his eyes on the rich lands of India, where the Hindu Shahi kings rule with immense wealth and influence. His ambition is not just territorial; he believes he has a divine mission—to spread the glory of his empire, establish Islamic governance, and secure untold treasures to strengthen his rule. The Battles That Shaped an Empire With his most trusted general, Malik Ayaz, at his side, Mahmud launches a series of daring military campaigns. His army, a formidable force of cavalry, archers, and fearless warriors, storms the strongholds of Northern India, clashing with the legendary Raja Jayapala in the Battle of Peshawar (1001 AD). The fierce resistance of the Hindu Shahi kings tests Mahmud’s strength, but his brilliant tactics and relentless pursuit of victory prove overwhelming. Yet, conquest is never simple. As Mahmud advances deeper into the subcontinent, he encounters the resilience of Raja Anandapala, who unites rival kings in a desperate bid to repel the Ghaznavid forces. The ensuing battles are fierce, with betrayals, shifting alliances, and moments of brutal warfare that define the era. Through it all, Mahmud remains steadfast—an iron falcon soaring above the battlefield, always striking with precision and power. Betrayal, Glory, and the Clash of Civilizations While Mahmud’s sword carves empires, his mind thirsts for knowledge. Unlike mere warlords, he is a patron of scholars, poets, and architects. He invites the brilliant Al-Biruni, a polymath whose wisdom transcends borders, to document the vast lands and cultures Mahmud encounters. The Persian poet Firdawsi, author of the Shahnameh, also graces his court, though their relationship takes a dark turn when Mahmud, consumed by his ambitions, fails to appreciate the poet’s genius. But amidst the grandeur of conquest and culture, danger lurks within Mahmud’s own court. His trusted advisors whisper of betrayals, his allies waver, and the political games of viziers and rival warlords threaten to destabilize his empire. Even those closest to him—loyal generals and royal confidants—begin to question the weight of his relentless campaigns. One of the most defining moments of Mahmud’s reign comes with the legendary attack on Somnath (1025 AD). The opulent temple, known for its immense wealth and religious significance, becomes the ultimate prize. To some, Mahmud is a liberator; to others, he is a plunderer. The battle for Somnath becomes not just a military conquest but a clash of civilizations, where faith, power, and destiny collide. The Legacy of the Iron Falcon

Blood Moon Rising: Wolf Princess at the Shifter Academy

(Warning! Mature Content!) With the moon as my only guide, I scamper through the sand and into the tent my two guards, Ryland and Aren share. Ryland, still awake, rolls over onto his side and props his head up on his hand, watching me awkwardly trip into the tent with amused eyes. “Are you okay?” Aren shifts in his sleep and then slowly opens his eyes. “Ora?” He grumbles. “What are you doing here?” “I heard a weird noise.” I bite my lip and blush at the lame excuse. “A weird noise?” Aren asks curiously, then a grin spreads across his face. “Did you come here so we could protect you from the scary noises?” He teases. “Well it is our job to keep our lady safe.” Ryland states and then reaches out to me. His warm hands wrap around my waist and pull me down to lay next to him. He spoons me and I look over at Aren who lies facing me just inches away. “You’re safe will us, so go back to sleep.” Ryland rests his head on his pillow and closes his eyes. I try to relax for a few minutes, but I can’t get my brain to calm down. “Aren?” Aren groans in response. “Yeah?” “Are you awake?” He cracks his eyes open and looks at me. “I am now. Why can’t you sleep?” “I can’t seem to relax.” “Do you want to chat for a bit to help you calm down?” Aren asks me. “Yeah that sounds nice.” I reply, but before I can say anything else, Ryland’s strong arm shifts and his large hand reaches down between my thighs. “Ryland, what are you doing?” I ask nervously. “I’m helping you relax.” He whispers into my ear. I gulp. “We can’t. Someone will hear us.” Rylands voice softly grazes across my ear. “We’ll just have to be really quiet then.” I glance over to see Aren's eyes darkening with need. ================== ================== Long ago, the Moon Goddess descended from heaven to the earthly plane and gifted animals with the ability to shift into a human form.

A head in a sense - literally buried in the sand. That was over 300 years ago. Going mad, and certain he would be surrounded in darkness forever until the earth finally exploded and disintegrated his corpse - Al'Hazier wasn't expecting to see the sunny seaside again, nor did he expect a group of beautiful women to be the first thing he had seen in decades.

Decietful Allure (Around the fireplace series)

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

Shadow's Gambit

In the grand city of Eldrath, where power is fought for in the shadows and alliances are as fleeting as the night, one man seeks to outplay them all. Aran Silas, a brilliant tactician and master manipulator, has no overwhelming strength or supernatural gifts. Instead, his genius lies in his ability to maneuver through the complex web of politics, crime, and treachery. Aran’s ambitions go far beyond wealth or fame—he wants control. Absolute control. As the illegitimate son of a noble family, Aran grew up on the fringes of high society, learning that intelligence and cunning were his only tools for survival. Now, as a man, he is determined to rise to power from behind the scenes, orchestrating the downfall of those who stand in his way. From crime lords to noble houses, no one is safe from his web of lies, half-truths, and carefully plotted schemes. But Eldrath is not just a city of ambition—it’s a battleground. Aran finds himself locked in a deadly game with two formidable women: Lady Nera, a powerful noble with her own dark empire, and Alara Sindel, a cunning seductress with ambitions that rival Aran’s own. With alliances shifting like sand and enemies lurking in every corner, Aran must stay several steps ahead, or risk losing everything. In a world where betrayal is as common as breathing and trust is a weakness, Aran plays the ultimate gambit—manipulating, deceiving, and outwitting everyone who crosses his path. But as his control grows, so do the dangers. His enemies are many, and even his allies may turn against him. And while he strives to shape the world in his image, there are forces at play far beyond his control. In Shadow’s Gambit, Aran Silas must balance ambition with survival as he navigates a treacherous world of mystery, intrigue, and deadly politics. His intelligence is his weapon, his mind his greatest asset, and in the dark, no one can see the strings he's pulling. But every gambit comes at a cost. Key Themes: Mind over muscle: Aran uses strategy and intelligence to defeat stronger foes. Anti-heroic journey: Aran’s morally ambiguous nature makes him both a mastermind and a manipulator, willing to sacrifice anyone for his goals. Political intrigue and power struggles: Noble houses, criminal syndicates, and rival factions all vie for control of Eldrath. Trust and betrayal: Friendships, alliances, and romances are all tainted by the looming threat of betrayal, making trust a rare and dangerous commodity. Aran Silas isn’t just playing the game—he’s rewriting the rules. But how long can he stay ahead before the shadows close in? # Disclaimer # This book is a work of fiction.
