Blackthorn Codex Archaos

"Shadows of Nocterra: The Forbidden Codex"

In the perpetually twilight realm of Nocterra, magic is both a blessing and a curse. Power is everything, and those without it are mere fodder for the ruthless mage-lords who control society. Ethan Nightshade, an orphaned street urchin with barely a spark of magical potential, has survived on nothing but wit and desperation. When a mysterious opportunity arises for commoners to enter the legendary Magical Academy, Ethan sees his one chance to escape the brutal streets of Shadowhaven. But everything changes when he discovers an ancient, forbidden tome - the Codex of Forbidden Shadows - a magical book that contains knowledge beyond imagination. As Ethan begins to unlock the book's secrets, he realizes he's stumbled upon a power that could either save him or destroy everything around him. The Codex grants him access to shadow magic - a forbidden art that allows him to manipulate reality itself, but comes with a terrifying price. Thrust into a world of political intrigue, deadly magical competitions, and centuries-old conspiracies, Ethan must navigate treacherous waters. The Academy is a battlefield where students are as likely to kill each other as learn magic, and Ethan's newfound abilities make him both a target and a potential game-changer. With powerful enemies hunting him, a mysterious mentor with hidden motives, and a magical book that seems to have its own agenda, Ethan must decide how far he's willing to go to survive. Will he become the weapon the Codex wants him to be, or can he maintain his humanity in a world that rewards only the most ruthless?

Sacrilege Ascension: I Level Up By Defying Gods

In a world where the Sevengod Church with an iron fist, Oliver, a downtrodden acolyte struggling to survive, uncovers a terrifying truth: the gods are long dead, their thrones consumed by madness. The Church’s “Divine Circuits” aren’t holy—they are cursed shackles, binding humanity to the ravenous, decaying deities they claim to serve. In reality, humans are mere sacrifices, fed to the gods to prolong their fading existence. Armed with the Blasphemy Codex System, Oliver treads a dangerous path. Each time he desecrates a god or slays a hypocritical priest, Oliver draws power from the Codex, strengthening himself with every heresy. The so-called divine beings of holy love? The great, selfless clergy? The beloved by all? Let me expose their true nature, and show everyone the maggots crawling beneath the shiny facade! This is what Oliver is doing, this is how Oliver grows stronger! When the last gilded lie peels away in his bloodstained hands, Oliver beholds the cosmos' cruel jest - those celestial parasites never craved worship, but the exquisite terror in mortal eyes. Now the Codex whispers of dead stars reconquering their thrones, its pages bleeding with revelations that could either forge a new pantheon from apostate flesh, or drown all creation in the gods' terminal scream. Will his blade carve salvation from their writhing carcasses, or merely crown him the most beautiful monster in this danse macabre?

Bound by Blood and Vengeance

Kyle Blackthorn has spent his entire life hidden away in the wilderness, raised by his parents to avoid the dangers of the human world. They taught him restraint—never to hunt humans, never to reveal his true nature, and above all, never to trust outsiders. But everything changes the night they are murdered. With nothing left but grief and unanswered questions, Kyle is forced to move to the city with his estranged grandfather, a man who believes werewolves should embrace their primal instincts rather than suppress them. Thrown into a world he doesn’t understand, Kyle struggles to blend in at high school, where everything from lockers to social cues feels like a foreign language. His awkwardness earns him both curiosity and mockery—especially from Gabe, a cocky student whose offhand remark about werewolves shakes Kyle to his core. Did Gabe say it as a joke? Or does he know more than he should? Then there’s Zara Sterling. Cold, sharp-tongued, and always keeping people at arm’s length, she wants nothing to do with Kyle. But their worlds collide when they’re paired for a school project. While she sees him as just another inconvenience, Kyle starts noticing things—like the bruises she tries to hide and the haunted look in her eyes. She’s keeping secrets, just like he is. But Kyle isn’t the only one keeping an eye on Zara. Something lurks in the shadows. Something Fast, and scary to Zara but not to Kyle. Because he recognizes his kind even in the dark. What happens if he gets involved? and what happens when he finds out his parent's killer is the parent to the girl he ever loved?

The Final Ashfield

Seven years in the future, Jacender Ashfield stands alone on a battlefield, a sea of demons closing in around him. Armed with sheer determination and dwindling strength, he faces the unstoppable forces of an otherworldly horde— and their enigmatic leader, the red-eyed Masked Man. Seven years in the past, Jacender and his twin brother Aleximus train relentlessly in the Axis —a mysterious forest of crimson trees that has been their home for as long as they can remember. Though bound by their uncle Matsuda's warnings to stay hidden, the twins dream of escaping the Axis to uncover the secrets of the world beyond its borders. They defy their uncle’s wishes, enlisting the help of their younger sister Anna, whose strange healing powers carry an ominous, unintended cost. But their quest for freedom shatters when a powerful enemy breaches the Axis, kidnapping Anna and revealing the grim reality of the outside world. Now forced to flee their sanctuary, Jacender and Aleximus embark on a perilous journey to Pendragon, a distant nation their uncle believes can shelter them from those pursuing the ancient Codex Jacender carries with him. Fueled by grief and vengeance, the twins vow to destroy the organization that razed their home — no matter the cost. As they traverse a dangerous continent filled with warring factions, ancient magic, and sinister political and religious forces, the brothers unravel the truth of their origins — and the fate they were born to face.  Yet Aleximus bears a haunting secret: a prophecy whispered in his dreams, foretelling a future drenched in darkness. And with every step forward, he feels the whisper growing louder; and with it — a fear for his brother's destiny.

To Sleep In The Sea Of Time

This is a story of a guy who loses everything, and then gets it back. Same old new world story, just a different kind of story teller. *** They took away our hunter tags. They had us grow our hair. They gave us a new brand, when we were over there. They staged us out of Dragur, East of the Olim Horn. I guess they call us Slaves, but no one calls us much anymore. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. Karn brought Sorrow. Pookie brought Fear. Milk brought the fly boys. They did work in Undia. I worked mostly clandestine. Some Legends I should not say. We played with better wands. I could use the extra pay. Did Mara give the order? Did venom pay the way? They said we were slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. This was before HALO, and Codex was king. Hej atop the rider, he never felt a thing. When our rider caught a spell, and both the mages killed. It pitched us over sideways on some cold Sylph hill. My back felt like it was broken, my legs I could not feel. I kept on slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Torin, unofficially we train. I remember all their faces. They dream about me still. I guess I'm slaying demons, but it's kind of hard to tell. There no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I speak the cold logistic, that old boys speak so well. Veni, Vedi, Vici. I'll see you in Hel. Maybe it's bravado, or an unspeakable guilt. That village, they were demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't wanna to do it anymore. I've done plenty. What is one more? -Corb Lund *** Come guess me this riddle. What beats shire leaves and fiddle? What is hotter than pleasures touch, and whiter than cream? What best wets his whistle? What is clearer than crystal? What is sweeter than honey and stronger than steam? What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk? What is the elixir of life and philosopher's stone? And what helped Pookie-Baba dig up a tunnel, that runs from Shalamanda to West-Torin? When you are digging a crater, It is the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys. Sometimes I wonder, if lightning and thunder, is made out of the plunder, of the reddest hiski and oils. *** If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream, and not make dreams your master. If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you; Except the Will which says to them ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, nor walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance, run. Yours is the World and everything that’s in it, and which is more you’ll be a Man, my son. - Rudyard Kipling

Lunar Bounds

In a world governed by ancient traditions and ruthless power, Alina Grey has always been the outcast of her pack. Rejected for her perceived weakness and haunted by the painful memories of her father’s death, she is shunned by her people and forced to live in the shadows of the strong. Her pack’s Alpha, Lukas Blackthorn, the one she thought would be her mate, crushes her hopes when he chooses another, Celine, as his partner. Heartbroken and abandoned, Alina’s future looks bleak. However, when her estranged Aunt Maeve, a legendary warrior exiled years ago, returns to the pack, Alina is offered a chance at redemption. Maeve begins training Alina, pushing her to the edge of her limits, both physically and emotionally. Through their brutal sessions, Alina discovers that she possesses far more strength than anyone had ever realized. She starts to unlock hidden powers connected to her family’s legacy, something her late father, Gregor Grey, had once tried to teach her. As Alina grows stronger, she faces new challenges. Not only does she have to battle the internal scars left by her rejection, but she also becomes entangled in a dangerous love triangle. Ronan, a mysterious stranger from a rival pack, enters her life, complicating her emotions and threatening to upend everything she thought she knew about loyalty, love, and destiny. At the same time, Lukas begins to notice the changes in Alina, sparking tensions within the pack and igniting old feelings that never truly died. With secrets about her past beginning to surface and her powers intensifying, Alina is thrust into a dangerous game of survival. As enemies close in from all sides, and her pack teeters on the edge of war, she must decide where her true loyalties lie and whether to embrace the destiny that her father had always seen in her. But in a world where trust is fragile and betrayal lurks around every corner, Alina quickly learns that becoming strong is only half the battle. Surviving in a world that seeks to break her might require more than just strength—it might demand a bond forged in blood, betrayal, and the unbreakable power of the moon. Lunar Bonds is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, self-discovery, and the fight for acceptance in a world where only the strong survive.
