Daniel West Flash

On the enigmatic Isle of Forgotten Shadow, five adventurers awaken with no memory of how they arrived. Drawn together by a mysterious voice, they learn of two powerful artifacts: the Heart of the Ocean and the Heart of Aether. Each adventurer has personal reasons for seeking these relics--Sylas Eryndor, a proud cleric, seeks redemption; Lockjaw Nightscale, a stoic ranger, yearns for closure; his brother, Crimjaw, offers humor and loyalty; Valric Starstride, a cunning rogue, searches for survival and gain; and Masell, a brooding cleric, is driven by apocalyptic visions. Filled with action, comedy, and character-driven moments, this tale of adventure and discovery explores the power of friendship and the courage to face the unknown.

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Centuries after the collapse of the old world order, a new era has risen with the emergence of Espers, the arrival of Spirit Beasts, and the discovery of Astral Energy. At the heart of this transformed world lies the Pit—a vast, treacherous abyss where the remnants of the old world have been consumed by Astral Energy. Within its depths, Spirit Beasts roam, and those known as Rankers venture inside, seeking Astral Shards—valuable fragments of power that bring wealth, fame, and glory. Among them is Ashlar Kain, a low-level Ranker with a secret ambition: to reach the bottom of the Pit. According to legend, the one who reaches the Codex, hidden in the abyss’s deepest layer, will have their greatest wish granted. However, Ashlar is no ordinary Ranker—he possesses a mysterious system that awakened his Psychic abilities at a young age. Bound by the system’s cryptic will, he has concealed his true strength while methodically climbing the ranks. But fate takes a sharp turn when Ashlar stumbles upon a violent clash between a Legacy family and a rogue organization, both fighting over a mysterious child. Forced to unveil his hidden power to protect the child, he unwittingly draws the attention of the Legacy families—beings of immense psychic power who rule the world from the shadows. Now thrust into a conflict far greater than he ever imagined, Ashlar must navigate the perilous world of Rankers, Legacies, and unseen forces—all while uncovering the secrets of his system, the true nature of the Pit, and the fate that awaits him at its depths.

At her wedding banquet, a man claiming to be Selina's lover stormed in, brandishing so-called intimate photos and causing chaos. Selina immediately saw through this as a scheme orchestrated by her half-sister, Natalia. However, Selina's fiancé, Ryan, not only refused to believe her but also went out of his way to defend Natalia. It turned out that Ryan and Natalia had already developed feelings for each other in secret. Everyone—Selina's father, stepmother, and Ryan's parents—knew about their affair, except for Selina, who was left in the dark. Taking advantage of the situation, Selina's father suggested swapping brides, proposing that Natalia replace Selina and complete the wedding. Ryan's family not only didn’t object but wholeheartedly supported the idea. That was the moment Selina finally realized the cruel truth: her family and Ryan's family were nothing but wolves in sheep’s clothing! "Cancel the engagement? Fine. But let it be clear—I’m the one rejecting you, you two-timing, spineless excuse for a man!" Selina declared with unshakable confidence. Her gaze then swept across the room, landing on an elegant and distinguished man. She vaguely remembered him as Ryan’s younger uncle. Walking over, she boldly asked, "Sir, how about getting married?" The man raised an eyebrow, finding her audacity intriguing. "It would be my honor, madam," he replied. ...

Long ago, the wicked White Queen launched a brutal war of conquest, bringing the lands to freezing ruin. An entire generation was swallowed by the flame and horror of the Queen's War. It ended as it must: the White Queen was slain, her ambitions broken, her erstwhile kingdom shattered. It has been some years now since the news of her death, but the lands still bear the scars of her cruelty. And where humanity has retreated, fae, demons and other horrors have sprung up from the shadows. The young wizard Martimeos journeys through these cursed and shadowed lands, searching for a sign of his older brother, who disappeared into the fire and fury of the Queen's War. Joined by the mysterious swamp-witch Elyse, they must make their way through this dangerous world, uncovering haunting memories of the past. As Martimeos finds his brother's trail, he begins to wonder what sort of man he was, and whether or not the war had changed him. How far will he have to journey until he discovers his brother's fate? How long will he wander west? WANDER WEST, IN SHADOW is a slow-paced, classic sword and sorcery tale that takes place in a dark fantasy world of faded kingdoms and lost history.

“And what of the consequences, Lyra? What if your actions draw the attention of his kind or worse, the humans?
