Gold Scarab Talisman

Lord of Shadows: Rise of the Grand Talisman

Elias Corvin opened his eyes to a world unfamiliar and unforgiving. This was no dream, no fleeting nightmare—this was reality. A reality that had stolen his identity and cast him into the body of another. He wasn’t Elias, yet he was. His existence had been rewritten, and with it, his fate. Thrown into a conflict he never chose, Elias soon realized his new destiny was intertwined with the rise of a terrifying entity—the King of Darkness. A being whose mere name sent shivers through the hearts of even the most powerful. With no escape, he aligned himself with an underground organization dedicated to stopping this nightmare from consuming the world. But fate was cruel. Betrayal came swiftly. Before he could fully grasp the depths of his newfound powers, Elias fell. Broken, defeated, his life was snuffed out beneath the overwhelming might of the Dark King. And yet… that was not the end. In the abyss of death, something stirred. An unknown force refused to let him perish. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned—but this time, everything was different. The chains of fate had loosened, revealing glimpses of a grander scheme. He was not just another pawn. He was a thread in the tapestry of an ancient struggle, one that predated even the King of Darkness himself. As time passed, Elias began unraveling the secrets of his new existence. He inherited the power of the Shadowlord, the remnants of fallen monarchs, and the forbidden knowledge of the Cursed Relics. The truth of his arrival in this world remained elusive, but one thing was clear: if he did not find the answers, he would never truly escape his doom.

Of Flames and Gold

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!
