The Scream of A Thousand Libraries

It all started before the pandemic, the world wanted to recover from a century marked by wars and crises. It was as if new stories were being added to the library of humanity… But little did we know, that in those stories there was a remaining mold from a forgotten era. A plague that silently settled over time… Thanks to this, the powers we received from the books were no longer seen as gifts. Now, they became the reason for our ruin. Could this story left to me… be the last scream of that decaying library? Signed: Agent Clover. 2025.

Healer's Touch (Deadly Touch book 1)

Llew’s father disappeared when she was eleven, leaving her orphaned, as far as she knew. Since then, Llew has learned to survive the streets of the gold-mining town of Cheer – full of opportunistic men and desperation. It’s a hard existence made tougher when Llew's so-called friend accuses her of murder, sending her to the gallows. Llew’s Aenuk ability to absorb life means she doesn’t stay dead for long, but she does leave a trail of death behind her. Escaping the hangman’s noose sees Llew fall into the hands of Jonas: the man with the knife and the Karan power to kill Llew’s kind. If Llew can nurture the attraction he develops for her, maybe she can keep that knife from her heart. But lurking in the shadows is Jonas’s half-brother, Braph: the man who has learned to combine Aenuk and Karan powers into infinite and addictive magical potential. Healer's Touch is a fantasy novel flavoured with a wild west setting, steampunk-like technology, enough romance to draw you in, horror to keep you hooked, and just enough sex to keep things spicy. The Deadly Touch Series: Healer's Touch Warrior's Touch Magician's Touch *May count as Romantasy, but the spice is pretty middling. Goes into dark themes, including torture & rape, but never between the main couple. The first chapters are brutal, but I had to start Llew off somewhere …

The Arcane Guardians

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. - Henry David Thoreau In a world where both magic and supernatural powers coexist, Felix Pagonis is a complacent but powerful psychic who is merely content with using his powers for himself. Despite facing blatant discrimination against his race, he leads a relatively easy life working as a part-time law enforcer in an elite task force: the Guardian Council. But all that will change when his colleague, Gaius Deusdedit, discovers a unique spellcraft that traces back to their world’s sinister origins during one of their missions. A reluctant Felix is dragged into a plot that may very well plunge their world into an eternal, literal hell. Facing a powerful criminal syndicate as well as sinister forces in the shadows, the duo will soon find themselves losing a lot more than they can handle.

When the crystal hunter Rosario and her young apprentices Stefan and Franziska accidentally discover a swarm of monsters threatening to overrun a nearby settlement, their attempt to warn the town will inadvertently uncover a conspiracy that stems from the origin of the Collapse itself.

Fate is Calling (but my phone is on silent)

Evon Pérez is the prime example of an incompetent fool, a slacker who charmed his way through life and left others to clean up his messes. He may have all of Reflector society wrapped around his little finger, but that doesn't mean he's good at his job as this generations Mirror. At least, that's how Florian sees him. As the right hand of Evon, Florian gets all up close and personal with all of Evon's "adventures" and has to deal with the consequences too. He is done with picking up the broken pieces of Evon's mishaps, and wants to go his own way. He hates that fate has been dragging him around by the collar ever since he was 14, ready for something new. But when large amounts of Scryers start popping up around the country, he's forced to reconsider his feelings about Evon and maybe, just maybe, pick up the call of fate.
