Cold Ash

A century after the War of the Ashes shattered the old world, humanity lives under the fragile protection of the immortal Cinderen—a powerful race who demand unbreakable oaths in exchange for their aid. Promises hold power, and breaking them exacts a cost far greater than death. Evander, a cold and enigmatic Cinderen bound by a curse he refuses to explain, collects these promises like currency. His path collides with Aelys, a fierce and determined young woman whose own oath is shrouded in mystery. Drawn together by necessity but divided by mistrust, their relationship is a volatile mix of attraction, hatred, and manipulation. Aelys has a plan: to use Evander to infiltrate the Cinderen from within and destroy them for good. But Evander’s own agenda—and the secrets he harbors—may be just as dangerous. Bound by forces they can’t fully control, the line between ally and enemy blurs with every step deeper into the mirror world where betrayal, blood, and fire reign. As their choices unravel the delicate balance between worlds, Aelys and Evander are forced to ask themselves: How much of their humanity—or their immortality—are they willing to sacrifice? In Ashes of an Oath, promises are forged in fire and broken in blood. The price of trust is steep, and the cost of survival might be their very souls.

Cheated on by her fiancé weeks before their wedding, Sara, vowed to never love again. Men could not be trusted, especially with a woman's heart. She had made the mistake once, and that was more than enough for her. Never again would she make the same mistake to give her heart to another. But her resolve began to waver when she came across her new boss, Alexander Legend, a man whose reputation in his expertise and ruthlessness in business preceded him. Respected and feared by many, but to Sara, he was an annoying pest she wished she never met. Too persisted for her liking yet, she finds herself falling, slowly melting in his presence. Getting used to his stolen kisses and hugs and sometimes anticipating them. °°°°° Excerpts “You will fall for me, Sara. One day, I'll have your heart too,” Alex drawled. His voice had a seductive allure that had her heart racing. The fact that his hand was leisurely resting around her waist didn't help her either. “Try as much as you want to,” despite her body begging for his touch, Sara was determined to reject him today and any other day. She couldn't make the same mistake again. “You won't succeed in your seduction. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.” Alex smirked, kissed behind her ear and her body trembled, much to his satisfaction. That was all he needed to keep purising the stubborn woman in his arms right now. “We shall see, Miss Ambrose,” he cooed and then released her. He returned to his seat and asked in a professional tone. “What is my schedule for today?”

Captain Elias Carter was one of the brightest minds in the U.S. Air Force, a tactical genius specializing in aerial combat and logistics. His career, however, was cut short when his fighter jet was shot down in an unforeseen skirmish over the South China Sea. As his consciousness fades into oblivion, he awakens once more—not as Captain Carter, but as Adrian von Rabenfeld, the heir to a crumbling duchy in an alternate version of the Holy Roman Empire during the 17th century. Born into an era of constant warfare, religious strife, and the encroaching forces of both the Ottoman Empire and emerging nation-states, Adrian must navigate the treacherous waters of feudal politics. With his knowledge of modern warfare, supply chain logistics, and statecraft, he is determined to turn his backwater duchy into a formidable military power. But war is not only fought on the battlefield—scheming nobles, zealous clergy, and foreign adversaries all seek to dictate the fate of his lands. Will Adrian be able to carve a path toward a unified, industrialized Germanic empire centuries ahead of its time? Or will he be crushed beneath the weight of history, his modern knowledge unable to overcome the inertia of medieval thought?

In the fractured kingdoms of Eldyra, where deserts bleed molten ore and fungal forests whisper forgotten names, three outcasts are bound by a lie older than the stars. Kael, a guilt-ridden blacksmith, wields a hammer that burns with the soul of a traitorous knight. Lira, an outcast herbalist, dreams of a goddess’s death—and wakes with bloody hands. Tyrus, a thief with no past, carries daggers that devour his memories to feed a love he can’t recall. When Voidspawn—shapeshifting demons born from a murdered goddess’s rage—swarm their homes, the trio is branded as heretics and forced to flee. Their only hope lies in the Celestial Anchors, ancient relics said to halt the apocalyptic Dusk Eclipse. But as they uncover the truth, they realize the anchors are not tools of salvation… but locks. A thousand years ago, the goddess Nyrisia sacrificed herself to trap a cosmic parasite that feeds on mortal suffering. The “curse” she left behind was a shield, not a punishment. Now, her reincarnation (Lira) is unraveling, Tyrus’s lost love is the parasite’s avatar, and Kael’s hammer demands he kill the only friend he’s ever had. As kingdoms burn and allies betray them, the three must choose: reignite Nyrisia’s war and doom the world to eternal hunger, or shatter the anchors and unleash the parasite’s full wrath. But the greatest threat lies within—Lira’s goddess is waking, Tyrus’s dagger is a key, and Kael’s hammer remembers how to kill a god.
