DONT READ YET PLEASE THIS IS UNDER GREAT GREAT RENOVATION LIKE MY GRANDMOTHER'S BATHROOM FROM YEARS AGO. THANK YOU. Can an empty heart be stirred? Hundreds have tried, but Zeirenne Lynn’s heart belongs to the wild. To live in a small cabin at the top of a secluded mountain, unfettered by worldly matters for the rest of her life—that was her lifelong dream. But gems buried deep, shied away from the world above, are treasures sought after. The most exquisite of pearls are pried out of their shells, the finest of jades harvested from their boulders. Such was Zeirenne Lynn’s dilemma. If people could leave her alone, and not ask her to be their apprentice, master, employee, boss, wife, princess, or colleague—life would be easier, but no. She was a Modern-day Psyche, acquired by none, desired by many. Will she remain sequestered comfortably in a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? Or will she fall into the hands of a narcissistic show-off, keen on displaying her inside a glass box for everyone to see? Her name is Zeirenne Lynn, and this is her story.

Silvermist Evermore never belonged. Born to unloving parents and cast aside, she had long accepted that life would never offer her warmth—until she was chosen as an apprentice at Moonstone Academy, a place where magic breathes and fate is written in the stars. But her arrival comes with a price. In an act of betrayal and manipulation, Silvermist shatters Frost's staff, the formidable Winter Guardian, unraveling a secret that should have remained buried. Now, bound by an ancient rule, she must take its place—not as a mere apprentice, but as something far more dangerous: Frost’s human staff, the living embodiment of his power. As Silvermist struggles to navigate the treacherous halls of Moonstone, she discovers that Guardians without apprentices are doomed to vanish, and the balance of the four seasons—Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—hangs by a thread. But the shadows whisper a greater truth: a war looms on the horizon, fueled by the Sandman’s wrath and a hidden enemy who has been pulling the strings all along. Haunted by cryptic dreams, hunted by those who seek to use her, and betrayed by those she once trusted, Silvermist must uncover the truth behind her own existence before she loses herself to the very storm she was forced to wield. Can she survive the weight of Winter, or will she be the final snowfall that buries them all?

Magi of Sinlung Larin was just another apprentice magi, content with the quiet pursuit of knowledge—until war shattered his world. The Kirat Empire, an iron-fisted colossus, has long trampled Xiaxo under its boot, but their rule has fractured. As rebellion brews and ancient forces stir, Larin finds himself at the heart of a conflict far greater than he ever imagined. The magic of Sinlung, the breath of the land itself, is awakening. Beings older than recorded history—Primordial entities, Guardian Beasts, and cosmic civilizations lurking beyond the stars—have begun to make their moves. Some see humanity as pawns, others as tools, and a few as something more. But the wars of gods and conquerors will not wait for one young magi to catch up. Resistance is inevitable. Betrayal is certain. Survival is not. Larin must wield every scrap of knowledge, power, and cunning to carve a path forward. From the battlefields of Xiaxo to the depths of forgotten ruins, from the councils of war to the whispers of cosmic magi, he will face blood, sacrifice, and impossible truths. The world is shifting, and with it, the nature of magic itself. Will he remain a mere student of the arcane, or will he forge himself into something greater? What to Expect: In-depth and immersive worldbuilding – Traditions, cultures, and histories woven into a living world. Grand-scale civilizations – Empires, resistance forces, and cosmic hierarchies, each with their own agendas. A clash of ideologies – What does it mean to rule? To resist? To be free?
