The Mana Engineer
Eric Elwyn thought he was just another overworked husband and father, driving home after a long day. Then the sky tore open and dragged him into another world. Rebuilt from the soul-thread itself, Eric wakes as an Outworlder — a rare race with higher than average stats, a lightning affinity almost no one has, and a profession tailored to his nature: Artificer. In a world where affinities define power and trust is rarer than gold, Eric finds himself bound to Welyvyne, a sharp-witted lowlander elf with her own scars and ambitions. Together, they’re outsiders in the Arcanum — the most prestigious magical academy in the realm — where every whispered rumor can ruin reputations, and every misstep can mean death. Eric quickly learns that his power makes him a target, his inventions make him dangerous, and his bond with Welyvyne makes them both infamous. But Eric isn’t here to play the prodigy. He’s here to build — to bend magic into tools, weapons, and wonders the world has never seen. If he can survive politics, professors, and the ever-growing shadow of those who want his power, he just might craft more than artifacts. He might craft a way to bring his family there.

MOONLIT THRONES
Moonlit Thrones: Fated Doom Some crowns are forged in blood. Some destinies are written in shadows. And some hearts are claimed long before they learn to love. Princess Eden of Lysoria was never meant to choose her own fate. When she discovers that her life is nothing more than a pawn in her father's ruthless political game, she does the unthinkable. She abandons her crown, her kingdom, and everything she has ever known, fleeing into a world where a single mistake could cost her life. But freedom comes at a price. Hunted by the very kingdom she once called home, Eden seeks refuge beyond familiar borders, only to discover that cruelty wears many faces. Amid whispers of war, the suffering of innocents, and secrets buried beneath royal thrones, she begins to question everything she once believed. Her kingdom is not as righteous as she thought, and its enemies may not be the monsters she was taught to fear. Then there is Aurelian, the Dark King of Drakar. Ruthless, merciless, and feared by every kingdom that dares speak his name, Aurelian rules through a power few would challenge. He has no patience for naïve idealism, no weakness for misplaced trust, and no intention of allowing anyone to threaten his realm. Yet beneath his cold reign lies a truth even he has not fully understood. Ancient prophecies do not bend to human pride. Some destinies are sealed before birth, and some promises are made before the hearts they bind ever beat. Moonlit Thrones: Fated Doom Some crowns are forged in blood.

Yet beneath his cold reign lies a truth even he has not fully understood. An ancient prophecy has tied their fates long before they existed, Prophecies, as it seems, do not bend to human pride. Some destinies are sealed before birth, and some promises are made before the hearts they bind ever beat. He is supposed to be the king she feared. She is supposed to be the princess he would never love. Yet, as kingdoms prepare for war and buried truths threaten to shatter everything they know, the most feared king in the world may discover that the one person capable of bringing him to his knees is the very woman fate has destined for his throne. Because sometimes, the greatest doom is not the fate written for you. It is the love you were never meant to escape. And when a king finally kneels, the world will learn that even the darkest throne can belong to a heart that has always been hers.

Ruin Shaper
Adam was only trying to live a normal life. A hiking trip with his friends was supposed to be a break from everything, but instead it ended with him stranded in another world, separated from everyone he knew, and left with only the contents of his pack to keep him alive. His first shelter is a ruined tower hidden in the forest, but safety does not last. A territorial monster claims the land outside, trapping Adam inside with dwindling food, broken rooms, and whatever scraps he can turn into tools. With no way home and no clean way out, Adam begins searching the tower. What he finds buried inside is not treasure, but the remains of an ancient magical training facility and a System designed to help people survive a world they were never built for.

Caught Between Two HeartsDiscover fiction
Caught Between Two Hearts
Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a crime. When Anne-Marie Scott walks home alone from night class, she never imagines that one desperate act of self-defence will pull her into the orbit of a family more complicated than she could ever imagine. Andrew Sawyer is charming, reckless and drowning in his father's disapproval. He is a man who feels everything too deeply but hides it behind rebellion and mischief. When he crosses a line he can never take back, Anne becomes the one person who makes him want to be better, the one person he refuses to lose, no matter what it costs. Vincent Sawyer saves lives for a living but keeps his own heart carefully locked away. He does not do emotions or distractions. He certainly doesn't lose himself over anyone. Until Anne. He does not mean to let her in, and yet, somehow, she gets past every wall he's ever built. Two brothers. One woman. And a love triangle powerful enough to ruin a family. What follows is far from a clean love story. It is full of bad timing, worse decisions, and a love so stubborn that even the universe, in all its cruelty, could not end it.
