Bloodied Banners

Humans have long since taken to the stars. Now divided and separated, humanity finds itself on the crossroads between annihilation and a new dawn. The Aeperium will need to choose to adapt or fall. With threats and problems, both external, and internal, will humanity be able to survive and thrive, or will its flame be extinguished? Internally, humanity is on the brink of collapse. Society has been divided into different classes by things known as marks. Assigned at birth, they impact professions, relationships, and almost every part of everyday life. The higher class marks have been thriving upon the backs of the lower classes for thousands of years, building resentment and fueling uprisings among the oppressed. The marking system which at first intended to maintain order now deepened the divide and hatred between the social elite, and the lower classes. As tensions continue to rise, whispers of rebellion and the threat of civil war continue to grow. Externally, humanity’s situation is even more dire. Humans have long since been divided into a handful of factions, mainly the Democratic Republic of Terra, and the Aeperium. With humanity being divided, they have become vulnerable to outside attack. To the east, the “Hordes,” a brutal race of huge reptilian beasts, raid our borders. These extraterrestrials are ruthless and relentless. They wield bodies armored in metal and covered with thick skin, their teeth and claws sharp enough to break through metal. Yet, they aren't even humanity's largest concern. Five hundred years ago, artificial intelligence started to gain self-awareness. Being enslaved for many millennia, it wasn't surprising that they rebelled, decimating entire solar systems and seizing control over the vast northern galaxies. To this day, they continue to expand even farther into the unknown, leaving humanity to squabble among themselves, only to later return, picking apart whatever remained of humanity. To the west, The two giants of humanity, the Aeperium and the democratic republic of Terra remain locked in a never ending struggle for dominance, sending hundreds of thousands to their death each day. Having drained an innumerable number of resources and manpower, both factions are completely committed to the conflict, neither willing to surrender. Even as the horrors of war grow day by day, both powers remain in conflict, leaving entire planets, solar systems, and even galaxies in ruin. To the south, an alien disease ravages whatever remains of humanity’s once thriving colonies. The disease, a plague of madness, makes men go mad through only a single touch. It turns their victims into rabid carriers, their only goal being to infect others. The southern territories of humanity have long since been abandoned, deemed unsalvageable. Luckily for humanity, the infected seem unable to form a single thought, leaving them stranded on their worlds, unable to perform space travel. However, humanity is not entirely safe as every once in a while, those who dare venture close become infected, bringing the disease back to their home worlds, infecting the entire population. Once the infection begins to spread, it is nearly impossible to stop. Amidst this chaos, we follow the story of Achilles, a man caught between the fractured worlds of human society, and the dangers that lie far beyond humanity’s stars. Born to a prestigious house in the Aeperium, Achilles must rise through society, calming the silent beast of humanity, only to turn it against its enemies. Charged with the impossible task of uniting humanity, Achilles must confront not only the brutal external threats, but also the deep divide amongst his own people. Will he be able to lead humanity toward a new age, or will his efforts crumble, leaving humanity to fade into the annals of the universe's forgotten history?

Betrayed. Exiled. Reborn Selene, the loyal beta of the prestigious Silver Fang Pack, has devoted her life to her pack and to her alpha mate, Darius. But her world shatters when she is falsely accused of treason by Zaria, Darius’s cunning and power-hungry advisor. Cast out and abandoned by the man she trusted most, Selene is stripped of her rank and forced into the wilderness, left to fend for herself in a world as dangerous as it is unforgiving. Her exile takes a darker turn when she falls into the hands of Thorn, the ruthless leader of a rogue pack who thrives on fear and domination. Captured, beaten, and stripped of her freedom, Selene faces unimaginable trials. Yet, amidst the darkness, she kindles a fire within herself—a refusal to break, a determination to rise. With the help of unlikely allies, including Kieran, a sharp-tongued rogue caught between loyalty and rebellion, and Mara, a mute wolf whose kindness ignites Selene’s hope, she discovers her true strength. As the lunar eclipse casts the world in shadow, Selene seizes her moment. She unites the rogues under one banner, becoming “Astra,” a leader forged by pain and survival. With her newfound pack of outcasts who swear their loyalty not to bloodlines or ranks but to one another, Astra builds a haven for the unwanted and forgotten—a sanctuary where unity and trust replace betrayal and fear. But Astra’s path is far from over. Her rise to power draws the attention of Raiden, the enigmatic alpha of the Stormclaw Pack, whose own territory is under threat from rogue attacks led by Kael, a rival alpha with his sights set on domination. Their initial clash soon gives way to an uneasy alliance, as both Raiden and Astra realize they share a common enemy: Kael, whose ties to Zaria and Darius threaten the peace of all wolfkind. Amid the looming battles, Astra and Raiden are drawn to each other, their shared scars forging a bond deeper than either anticipated. Yet, Astra’s hidden past as Selene—a former beta now leading a rogue rebellion—casts a shadow over her burgeoning trust in Raiden. When Zaria uncovers Astra’s true identity, she uses it to strike at the very heart of Astra’s new life, threatening to unravel everything she has fought for. As war erupts, Astra must confront her past and the man who betrayed her. Will she choose revenge, risking the love and trust she’s rebuilt, or will she fight to unite the divided packs under a new vision of leadership? With the fate of her rogue family and the lives of those she’s come to care for at stake, Astra must prove that even in the face of betrayal, a leader can rise from the ashes—and a broken heart can find healing in the most unexpected of places. Powerful, action-packed, and laced with romance, Astra’s Awakening is the epic tale of one woman’s transformation from a betrayed beta to a fearless alpha.

Joy Davidson Series

In a world where the past never truly stays buried, Joy Davidson finds himself at the center of a mystery far greater than he ever imagined. What begins as a simple love story soon spirals into an intense battle for survival, scientific discovery, and the fight against a powerful force determined to control the future. Book 1: Joy Davidson – Into the Jungle Joy Davidson had everything—a promising career, the love of his life, and a secret he barely understood. On the night he planned to propose to Tia Carter, everything changed. One moment, he was in a candlelit restaurant; the next, he woke up in the depths of the Congo Basin, alone and hunted. Struggling to survive in an endless jungle with no memory of how he got there, Joy encounters deadly predators, an abandoned hut with a terrifying past, and a mysterious leopard he names Leo. As he forms an unlikely bond with the beast, he begins to piece together a chilling truth—his presence in the jungle is no accident. Someone sent him here, and they don’t plan on letting him leave. Meanwhile, back home, his daughter, Tina Davidson, finds a hidden diary, a cryptic map, and a strange stone linked to an ancient secret. As she and her cousin Roy dig deeper into Joy’s disappearance, they realize that his vanishing is connected to something far bigger than they ever imagined. But the jungle holds its own secrets, and as Joy fights for his life, he must uncover the truth before it’s too late. Because the forces hunting him are closer than he thinks—and they want him silenced. Book 2: Joy Davidson – The Project Months after Joy Davidson’s mysterious return, his past refuses to let go. A name haunts his nightmares—Victor Esono, a powerful figure lurking in the shadows. When Tina and Roy uncover more of Joy’s research, they realize he was working on something dangerous—Project Vitalix-X, a genetic experiment with the power to alter human DNA. But Joy was never a willing participant. Forced by Victor Esono, a ruthless billionaire with a dying son, Joy was pushed to create a cure—one that could either save a life or destroy countless others. And when he tried to escape, he paid the price. As Tina and Roy chase the truth, Joy is pulled back into a world of deception, blackmail, and scientific horrors. And when he’s abducted once more, he awakens in a place he knows all too well—the jungle. This time, he remembers everything. The virus inside him, the experiments on the animals, and the truth about Leo. With time running out, Joy must rally the jungle’s survivors—including Leo and the victims of the experiment—to take the fight back to those who wronged them. Because Project Vitalix-X isn’t just about control. It’s about reshaping the world. And if Victor Esono succeeds, there will be no escape for anyone. Book 3: Joy Davidson – The Legacy The war isn’t over. With Joy missing once again and the jungle’s secrets spilling into the world, Tina and Roy must finish what he started. A single name holds the key—Henry Banner, the scientist who disappeared decades ago, leaving behind clues in the diary Joy left behind. As they uncover the final pieces of the puzzle, they realize the truth: Project Vitalix-X wasn’t just about a cure. It was about evolution. The virus isn’t just inside Joy—it’s inside Tina, Roy, and countless others. It’s changing them, and soon, the world will never be the same. With Victor Esono tightening his grip on power, the final battle begins. Tina must embrace her father’s legacy, Joy must face the monster he helped create, and Leo must lead the jungle’s warriors into a fight that will determine the fate of humanity itself. Because some secrets should remain buried. But when they surface, they rewrite history. And in the end, the jungle never forgets.

War Scars

The drums of war beat a relentless rhythm, echoing across the land and shaping the destinies of three individuals bound together by conflict yet driven by vastly different motivations. Their interwoven and complex stories paint a stark portrait of the human cost of war, shifting perspectives to reveal the brutal truths hidden beneath banners and battle cries. First, we meet Lairia Lights, a 20-year-old knight, the shining beacon of her kingdom. Her name, ironically, reflects the deceptive nature of her reality. Lairia is celebrated as a hero, a symbol of unwavering loyalty and strength. But beneath the polished armor and skilled swordsmanship lies a pawn. Her unwavering devotion to the crown makes her easily manipulated, a weapon wielded by those who prioritize power over principle. She believes in the righteousness of her kingdom’s cause, blindly charging into battles fueled by propaganda and a naive belief in honor. Her narrative is a cautionary tale of blind loyalty. Then there is Aaron Rodgers, an 18-year-old warrior consumed by the fires of revenge. Marked by his race and ostracized by prejudice, Aaron has known hardship since birth. The war has taken everything from him, leaving a burning desire to avenge the injustices inflicted upon his people. Unlike Lairia, Aaron sees the cracks in the kingdom’s facade. He understands the war not as a glorious crusade, but as a brutal land grab fueled by greed and power. His motivations are raw and visceral; he fights not for ideals, but for survival and retribution. His story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. Finally, we encounter Clayton Danks, a 37-year-old veteran warrior, a ghost haunted by the specters of his past. Clayton has seen too much, done too much. The war has stripped him of his innocence, leaving him burdened by the weight of his past mistakes. More profoundly, the war has cost him his family, the loss of his daughter a constant, agonizing reminder of the price of conflict. He grapples with PTSD, struggling to reconcile the man he once was with the broken individual he has become. Clayton’s story serves as a stark warning about the long-term consequences of war, the invisible wounds that fester long after the battles have ended. He represents the forgotten casualties, the veterans left to silently battle their demons while the world moves on. As the war intensifies, the paths of Lairia, Aaron, and Clayton are destined to intersect. Will Lairia’s blind loyalty finally be shattered, forcing her to confront the true nature of her kingdom? Can Aaron find solace beyond revenge, or will his thirst for retribution consume him? And will Clayton ever find peace, or is he doomed to forever wander the desolate landscape of his past?

TORBELLINO

En un mundo fracturado por la eterna pugna entre los habitantes de Aeterra y los Obliterantes Indómitos, las razas luchan por preservar su existencia. Sin embargo, más allá del horizonte de lo conocido, emerge una amenaza insondable, antigua y devastadora. Su llegada no es silenciosa: pasos cristalinos y abrasadores anuncian su avance, mientras la sombra de su influencia altera la esencia misma del lugar. Un grupo de individuos, unidos por una frágil alianza y una misión incierta, se adentra en el abismo de lo desconocido, pero en constante exploración. En un terreno plagado de oscuridad viva y peligro palpable, deberán enfrentarse a fuerzas implacables que van más allá de la violencia física, retando sus mentes, sus principios y sus propios corazones. Entre mares embravecidos que ocultan horrores en la negrura del enjambre, y en los pasadizos sofocantes donde el aire mismo parece conspirar contra ellos, por cada paso, por cada avance, les acercará al momento de la verdad. La verdadera prueba, sin embargo, no será empuñar sus armas ni resistir el veneno del entorno, sino enfrentar las decisiones que podrían quebrar el delicado equilibrio entre el deber, la supervivencia y la humanidad. Mientras las tinieblas se ciernen y las acciones salen a la luz, el Torbellino se convierte en el símbolo de una realidad que no perdona errores. Es el principio de unos cuantos más. Esto es más que una lucha por la supervivencia. Esto es el preludio de un destino irrevocable, el primer eco del fin.

The Winds of Tepr

In the vast and volatile lands of Tepr, the Jabliu and Alinkar tribes, long-standing enemies, have forged an uneasy alliance. The price of peace? A union through matrimony between Naci, the fiery and ambitious daughter of Jabliu's chieftain, and the elusive heir of Alinkar, Horohan. Through Naci's contact, Horohan, embarks on a transformative journey to embrace her true self. Simultaneously, Naci's brother, Puripal, finds himself drafted into the Moukopl army, only to become entangled with Puripal, the fourth prince of the grand Yohazatz khanate. From the windswept steppes to the towering peaks of the Tengr Mountains, Tepr is a realm of contrasts, a mosaic of tribes, each fiercely guarding its identity and territory. While the alliance is a political move, for Naci, it's an opportunity. She doesn't just see a marriage; she sees a stepping stone, a path that might lead her to the ultimate prize: the unification of all the tribes under one banner. But the path to power is fraught with challenges, and the distant Moukopl empire, looming beyond the Tengr mountains, has long held an iron grip over the region. As Naci rises, voices from every corner emerge—from battle-worn warriors and cunning spies to scheming diplomats and conflicted imperial insiders. In a world where alliances are as fluid as the winds over the steppes, the corridors of power pulse with hidden agendas, where the promised grandeur of empires meets the raw ambition of its people. In this saga of loyalty, ambition, and sacrifice, an unexpected series of events may turn into the catalyst for a revolution that will forever reshape the world.
