Synopsis

The Dark Seeds is a multi-character driven novella series, set in our possible future, molded from the choices of today. The last glimmer of hope lies within a few extraordinary blood lines. Their courage is tested when they must fight for freedoms they’ve never known. Will their sacrifice be enough to wake our sleeping world before the darkness consumes humanity forever? Crows Hill is Adina’s story, the first to be told. She was sold to the highest bidder, but unlike the others, she has every intention of escaping the asylum before Crows Hill devours her soul.

Fleabag: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

★ 4.64

SomeoneToForget

In the deepest reaches of the Bone Pits, a canine seemingly like any other woke up in the ruined remains of a wooden box.

With knowledge it shouldn't have, fleeting memories it couldn't reach, and the icy grasp of death crawling up its spine with every labored breath, it simply wished to live another day.

Yet, in the bowels of a city built on metal corpses, nothing was ever simple.

Gangs, religious groups, loose collectives, Dungeon Barons, highborn and cultists alike all battle for supremacy in the industrial underbelly of Carmera, blind to what prowls below.

For in the writhing clouds of smog none peer into, in the murky, frothing depths of the sumps that none approach, in the deepest reaches of the Dungeon that none but the mentally deranged dare challenge, the last wolf rakes its claws through steel and howls to a distant sky.

"Fleabag is not just another Monster Evolution story, it is THE Monster Evolution story."

Come and judge for yourself.

Are you tired of fun monster evolution stories where the monster becomes increasingly less monstrous, and eventually they're just a more spicy version of a human and it stops being a monster evolution story?

Well, i am.

So- insert thanos meme where he says "fine, i'll do it myself"

The Courting of Life and Death

Buy the books, or cross-post your RR review, please and thank you! ❤

Clandestina is a realm of secrets, fairies, and dark magics. Among the nobles there is talk of a goddess of death, and a forbidden magic she grants to those that follow her-- cræft that can heal injuries that should be fatal or even bring back the dead. But she asks for much in return; blood and sometimes even life itself.

Pierre Salvador has just returned to court after finishing his studies and becoming a surgeon. But as he flirts with his childhood friend Elizabeth Anne, Mora, The Lady of Death, waits for him.

I do not take my books down from Royal Road. I do edit, polish, and rewrite things for the published release. (Vol 1 is just short.)

Twilight Kingdom Night Nation (stubbed)

★ 4.53

Hesketh

[Twilight Kingdom, Book 1 is available on Amazon and Audible]

[Night Nation, Book 2]

Candle Enys is no longer human. But her soul belongs to a demon and she wants it back.

To become whole she must travel to the land of the dead, and destroy the demon before it can destroy her.

Along the way she will make new friends, new enemies and explore the roots of her draconic heritage. This new dragon will leave behind her, a trail of destruction, cake crumbs and broken hearts (just kidding there’s no romance only death).

A dark fantasy with progression elements.

One chapter a day until its done. I will stop at the end of book 2 to contemplate my life choices and collect my braincells.

The Lost Deaths

★ 4.82

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

In the City of Light, even Deaths can die.

The year is 1889. As Eiffel and his iron tower herald a new age of science and industry, young Laurent Valmore learns a dead man’s secret: that Deaths great and small have preyed upon men since the dawn of civilization, and that mankind will only achieve immortality once they are all slain.

This is his first hunt.

It won’t be the last.

Unfathomable Power for the Low, Low Price of Someone Else’s Soul

★ 4.63

RaReason

Book 1 Is COMPLETED! Currently updating book 2, set a year later.

Colm Avery is a warlock. You know, the "sell your soul for unlimited power" kind of warlock. Except for the part where he sells his soul. That never sat well with him.

Instead he sells the souls of others. Murderers. He trades the souls of those already destined for hell for gifts. It's hard work. For six years he's worked 18+ hour days, taking breaks when he could or when he simply passed out from exhaustion. Finally, a windfall lands in his lap that allows him some free time. And he's using it to go on a cruise.

Unfortunately, disaster after disaster strikes the cruise. Food poisoning, bad weather and PIRATES of all things. Colm will have to use his magic, his hellish gifts and a bit of luck to not only survive, but to unravel the plot behind all these seemingly unrelated events.

This cruise to Hawaii turned out to be more than he bargained for.

Updates whenever I can. Usually 2-3 times a month.

(The site caps me out on 3 genre tags and there's no tag for romance, so be warned: There is a tiny bit of romance in the books. It's never the focus of the story, but it is there. I only mention it because there was a request for the tag, but I'm filled up with Action, Horror and Fantasy.)

Paladin Of The Forsaken Lands (Monster Crafting “Nature” Paladin Lit-Rpg)Book 1 Complete

★ 4.78

jollybane

Vrax should be dead by now, And he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here. Delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands, at level zero. Being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class. Until then he will just have to do his best to outwit or outrun the horrors most other sane adventurers avoid.

Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential, letting him fight the horrors he has been running from his whole life, with even worse creatures of his own making.

Vrax will-

Take a prank too far and "accidentally" unleash Man eating Daisies upon the world.

Wake/Make horrors beyond human comprehension.

Probably disappoint his father.

Make a town irrationally afraid of dandelions.

Steady burn progression, from level zero to being a problem for those dickheads from the church. Not as fast as mage tank but not as slow as runesmith.

Mc gets a very unique powerset allowing him to craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.
