In the kingdom of Valkathar, every child dreams of the day they will summon their first familiar. But for Aelric Ignis, that dream has always felt like a distant, unreachable hope. On the night of his Summoning Rite, he is the only child who cannot call forth a spirit, leaving him branded as weak and worthless by his peers and family. Abandoned by all, Aelric vows to prove them wrong. Desperation drives him deep into the heart of the ancient forest, where he performs a forbidden ritual, calling upon forces far beyond his comprehension. In a burst of magic and darkness, Liora, an ancient and powerful dragon, answers his call. Bound by an ancient pact, Liora becomes his first summon, her immense power and knowledge reshaping Aelric’s destiny. But this is just the beginning. As Aelric delves deeper into the secrets of summoning, he discovers a terrifying truth: the key to true power lies not in summoning mere beasts, but in binding beings of unimaginable strength and darker natures—demons, elves, slaves, and otherworldly creatures. Through ruthless contracts and manipulation, Aelric begins to build an army of enslaved summons, each one bound to him by blood, magic, and desire. As his harem of powerful beings grows, so does his ambition. Aelric’s rise to power is not just about strength—it's about domination. He manipulates his summoned slaves, uses his power to conquer kingdoms, and bends the political landscape to his will. But as his influence spreads, so do the dangers. Rivals, enemies, and even the very beings he commands threaten to undermine him, and Aelric must use every ounce of his cunning and ruthlessness to maintain control. With each victory, Aelric becomes more than just a summoner—he becomes a force to be reckoned with, feared and revered across the continents of Keryllia. But his journey is not without cost. The more power he gains, the more darkness festers within him. And with every slave he breaks, every summon he enslaves, Aelric risks losing himself in the very shadows he commands. "Summoner of Shadows: The Binding of Power" is a tale of ambition, control, and the price of power in a world where loyalty can be bought, and strength is the only thing that matters.

Book 1 is now available for order! Volume 1: https://a.co/d/0ao1rdn0 The first volume has been taken down for the Amazon release. Published by Riverfolk Publishing. *********************************** My name is Tim or was that is until I died, there was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimension travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited at the opportunity, if not for my new siblings who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or my mother who seemed to have something with throwing me off cliffs, and let’s not forget my murderous father who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

In the grand kingdom of Eryndor, where power and status are determined by one's rank in the hierarchy of alphas, betas, and omegas, Prince Xavier Bloodthorne—the kingdom's fiercest alpha—stands at the center of royal intrigue. Groomed to be the next king, Xavier is pressured to choose a mate from noble alpha or beta houses to strengthen alliances. However, his heart is closed off, burdened by duty and a tragic past. Meanwhile, deep in the outskirts of the kingdom, lives Vale Rivers, a soft-spoken but fiercely independent omega who hides his secondary gender to avoid exploitation. Kael dreams of freedom beyond the rigid confines of societal roles, never imagining his destiny is intertwined with royalty. Their worlds collide during the annual Moonlit Rite, a sacred festival where fated pairs are revealed through an ancient bond. When Xavier is drawn to an unassuming stranger in the crowd, he realizes Vale is his destined mate—a bond unbreakable yet forbidden in the eyes of tradition. As the story unfolds, Xavier must protect Vale from political conspiracies, jealous rivals, and those who wish to exploit their union. At the same time, Vale challenges the alpha prince's notions of strength and leadership, teaching him that vulnerability and love are the greatest forms of power. Together, they must navigate a world that threatens to tear them apart while uncovering secrets about their bond that could change Eryndor forever.

The Lantern of Lost Wishes Deep in the heart of Luminwood Forest, where the air hums with secrets and fireflies weave trails of forgotten dreams, there is a legend of an ancient lantern that can grant lost wishes. No one knows who made it or why, but those who go looking for it rarely find their way back. For Elyra, the lantern is more than a story. It’s a chance. Haunted by a past she can’t change and a future slipping through her fingers, Elyra sets out to find the lantern, clutching nothing but a faded map and a fragile hope. But the forest is alive. It shifts and listens. Creatures of shadow, known as the Wraithbound, follow her every move, feeding on the desperate wishes of others. Elyra’s only ally is a mysterious stranger with golden eyes and a grin that hides more than it reveals. He’s cursed, dangerous, and far too familiar with the forest’s tricks—and yet, Elyra can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who truly understands her. With every step deeper into the woods, Elyra discovers that wishes are never free, and some are lost for a reason. The closer she gets to the lantern, the heavier the cost becomes—secrets unravel, alliances shatter, and the forest itself begins to turn on her. Elyra must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim what she’s lost and whether some dreams are better left untouched. Because in the Luminwood, every wish carries a price, and once the lantern’s light finds you, it’s impossible to turn back. A story of longing, sacrifice, and the magic we hold onto when all else fades, The Lantern of Lost Wishes is a journey into a world where dreams flicker like fireflies, and hope is both a blessing and a curse.

Après sa disparition soudaine, un arbre géant aux pouvoirs dévastateurs, porteur de secrets ancestraux, apparaît à la frontière de l’univers.

Accompagné de Kara, une mage mystérieuse capable de manipuler les éléments, et de Renn, un ancien guerrier doté d’une force surnaturelle, le fils du Créateur se lance dans un périple périlleux.

Mais à chaque victoire, l’ombre du Créateur plane, et le fils découvre que des ennemis plus puissants encore, dotés de pouvoirs surnaturels et liés à l’Essence, ne tarderont pas à surgir pour contester son pouvoir et son héritage.

For young Xa’el, the ritual meant to awaken his connection to the Void takes everything from him—his life, his identity, and the future his family dreamed of. But death is not the end. Xa’el is reborn, his soul fused with that of a human from a distant, unfamiliar world. Haunted by fractured memories of Earth and the weight of his elven heritage, he returns to a village that no longer recognizes him.

The awakening has left Xa’el altered in ways his people do not understand. With the knowledge of science and technology blending with the magic of Ro, Xa’el begins to see his world not as it is, but as it could be. Yet his vision clashes with centuries of tradition, and his pursuit of progress places him at odds with the elders who fear the erosion of the balance that has kept their people alive.

WSA 2025 Entry What can one do against inevitability? Fate? Circumstances out of one’s control? The answer to that, for a human, is not all that much. We toil under the designs of other, pawns in their sick games, moved around while we dance under the illusion of freedom.

Fate had now become all but a footnote. ……..………………………… I am writing this book for the sole purpose of sending myself to uni.
