After the brutal loss of his beloved grandfather, Liam Hunter embarks on a harrowing journey into the heart of the Dark Forest, known as the Forest of Kyrell, with a singular goal: to gain the strength necessary to honor his grandfather's memory and to never lose anyone dear to him again. At just ten years old, Liam is thrust into a world of darkness and malevolence, where he endures four grueling years of training and transformation. In this shadowy realm, he is reborn as a fierce warrior, driven by a relentless desire to eradicate every demon and ultimately confront the Demon King, Emrys himself.

“How do you think it makes me feel to know that my parents discarded me because of who I am? How do I know you won’t do the same the moment you see all the darkness and how fucked up I am?” “Because the first time I saw you, it was in one of your darkest moments, and yet all I felt for you was love. I vowed I will protect you till the day I die,” Liam whispers as he pushes my body on the wall. My body betrays me, softening under his. “I am damaged goods, a wolfless omega. I don’t deserve to be mated to an alpha,” I whimper, all fight leaving my body as I helplessly try to reason with him. “In my eyes, you are priceless to me. I have waited my whole life for you rain. I am never giving you up. I will fight for you until my last breath,” his whispered words and eyes leave me breathless as his lips capture mine in a kiss. Rain Larue is a wolfless omega and a weakling when he stumbles in his mate’s arms on a fateful night he is sure he is going to die. He has a dark past that has affected and shaped him, which is still following him in his new life with his fated mate Alpha Kingsley Liam. Rain wants to believe that it’s real and that he has a mate as an alpha and is loved, but he painfully knows that nothing lasts forever. Liam knows that rain is going to take a while before accepting him. He has vowed to wait for him, no matter how long it takes. Problem, people from Rain’s past keep coming back for him and wanting to take his precious mate away from him. He doesn’t care about anything other than healing and being there for his mate and protecting him. But the outside world is adamant and seems persistent on taking the one thing good and bright in his life. He has a choice, to show mercy and be the person Rain has come to know him as, or be the ruthless person he was before Rain to protect his now pregnant mate. Can the two survive the storm of the parents’ disapproval, the attacks from the past, and the inner demons each is battling to nourish the pure love between them? *book cover copyright doesn’t belong to me

In a world once dominated by four mighty empires, King Sceptre Nobillus of Velanor ruled with unmatched strength and wisdom. His reign lasted 530 years, and he wielded the legendary weapon Habênjär, a weapon so powerful it could elevate its wielder to the status of a demi-god. Velanor, the greatest of the empires, remained the dominant force until King Sceptre's death, when the world descended into chaos and division. The Habênjär was hidden away, its power dormant, while the world fractured into many smaller empires. Generations passed, and King Sceptre V ruled Velanor, fathering twins—Lebonos and Liam.

As he navigates a world filled with political intrigue, ancient magic, and the remnants of old powers, Sceptre IX must discover the truth of his legacy, the true power of the Habênjär, and his role in the future of the world.
