When tech support worker Danny Walsh dies saving a stranger in a Seattle alley, he awakens in the magical realm of Aethermoor—and discovers he’s been granted a rare magical Resonance Mage. His power? The stronger his emotional bonds, the more powerful he becomes. And the deepest bonds are romantic.
To survive, Danny must build more than just a party—he must forge a polyamorous family of extraordinary women, each of whom holds a piece of his heart.
There’s Kira Moonwhisper, the silver-haired healer whose compassion steadies the group. Lyra Brightblade, a noble paladin who chose love over legacy. Zara Shadowdancer, a reformed thief learning to trust. Maya Emberhart, a dragon who’s hidden her heart behind centuries of solitude. And Nova Starforge, a brilliant artificer whose machines are only matched by her emotional intensity.
Together, they become the Resonance Guard—a party where love amplifies power, sisterhood strengthens strategy, and their shared devotion unlocks a transcendent ability called Perfect Resonance, capable of reshaping the very world.
But their love will be tested. The Shadow Syndicate wants Zara back. The Void Cult seeks to drain their unique magical signatures. And an unstoppable monster wave is headed straight for Aethermoor’s fragile borders. As shadow wolves prowl and void corruption spreads like rot, Danny must master both his magic—and his role as the emotional core of his found family.
In Aethermoor, love is power. Polyamory is the strategy. And an ordinary man’s capacity for connection might be the key to saving everything.
Book 1: The Resonance Mage’s Harem follows Danny’s first days in Aethermoor—laying the foundations of his magical family and culminating in a climactic battle where love itself becomes a weapon against the void.
For readers who enjoy explicit polyamorous romance, slow-burn relationship development, healthy harem dynamics with strong sisterhood, and progression fantasy where emotional bonds are core to power. Contains mature content and multiple consensual relationships.

The Obelisk has awakened. Earth is doomed.
When Alec West takes a solitary tech job at a mountaintop relay station, he expects static, snow, and silence. Instead, the sky fractures.
A hidden construct—ancient, intelligent, and broken—activates around the planet. It calls itself the Obelisk. Its purpose? Unknown. Its power? Absolute. The countdown to full Attunement begins.
Alec is one of the first pulled in. No briefing. No explanation. Just glyphs in his vision, hostile anomalies in the woods, and a new interface in his head tracking stats, levels... and damage taken.
He barely survives the first wave. But survival has a price—and it starts with his body, his memories, and his humanity.
Now, armed with unstable spells, a corrupted undead minion, and a single Prime Anchor that could save the woman he loves, Alec must master the Obelisk before it finishes rewriting Earth’s rules.
Because when the Obelisk completes its boot sequence…
There won’t be a respawn.

For fans of survival strategy, kingdom-building, and system-driven community progression.
The goblins were only the beginning.
When Edwin Ash and the settlers of Greenreach carved their homes out of snow and ash, they hoped for a season of peace. Instead, winter brought something worse than monsters—lords with banners, whispered grain quotas, and offers that smelled like chains.
And through it all, the Stronghold Stone pulses with choices:
fortify the walls, ration food, expand the keep, forge uneasy alliances. Every command is a ledger entry. Every mistake costs lives.
Edwin isn’t a chosen one. He’s just a man too stubborn to let his people die.
But as enemies close in and the land offers no mercy, Greenreach must become more than a camp.
It must become a fortress.
