Embers of Vengeance – Upcoming

In a world where gods bestow magic upon mortals, unlikely allies must unite against a kingdom’s descent into darkness.

Deyanira, the last warmage, has spent years hiding her true identity and nursing a burning hatred for the royal family who slaughtered her bloodline. When Kaelar arrives—one of the supposedly extinct Companions whose sole purpose is bonding with warmages—her carefully constructed isolation crumbles. Though she resists the life-binding ritual, prophecy warns that without it, the madness inherent to her power will consume her completely.

Prince Syaoran’s world shatters when his father and brother are murdered, the blame pinned on him by the ambitious steward Dariem. Now branded a traitor, Syaoran must flee with only his loyal friend Azirec, a court mage whose magical calligraphy can ward and protect. Seeking refuge at the mage temple, their path collides with Deyanira’s—forcing ancient enemies into an uneasy alliance.

As Dariem consolidates power under the influence of the God of Greed, and the pantheon itself fractures into civil war, Deyanira must choose between the vengeance that has defined her and the bonds that might save them all. With worship waning and minor gods vying for dominance, the mortal world becomes a battleground for divine ambition.

In this gripping tale of blood-bound magic and political intrigue, trust is fragile, love is complicated by duty and madness, and the line between justice and revenge grows ever thinner. Can sworn enemies become allies before their kingdom—and their world—burns?

Whispers of Moon River – Upcoming Episodic Series

---

When 28-year-old Naomi Chen’s adoptive grandfather mysteriously vanishes, she never expected to follow his trail through a mystical portal into a realm where internal energy cultivation determines everything from social status to survival.

Separated from her twin brother Noah when the portal closes behind her, Naomi finds herself alone in a world governed by ancient sects and political intrigue. Her reunion with Wei Liu is tragically brief—his death leaves her stranded among the Moon River Sect, where her complete lack of cultivation energy marks her as an outsider. Yet something about Naomi triggers unprecedented reactions from their sacred Moon Stone, catching the attention of the sect’s enigmatic leader, Wang Xihe.

As Naomi reluctantly begins training under Wang Xihe’s guidance, she discovers her unique dual-colored energy marks her as something the cultivation world hasn’t seen in centuries. But her growing abilities also draw the dangerous interest of Zhao Yuntian and the authoritarian Mystic Palace Sect, whose quest for ultimate power threatens every independent faction.

With assassination attempts targeting her specifically and ancient prophecies speaking of world-walkers, Naomi must navigate sect politics, master impossible abilities, and uncover the truth about her bloodline—all while the cultivation world teeters on the brink of war. Her modern perspective may be the key to preventing one man’s ambition from destroying everything, but only if she can bridge two worlds without losing herself in either.

In this captivating blend of portal fantasy and cultivation fiction, belonging must be earned, power comes with a price, and sometimes the greatest strength lies not in choosing sides, but in finding the balance between them.
