Ashes of the Sovereign: The Forbidden Rank

Ren Shiro was a data analyst. He died in an elevator accident on a Monday morning—with the same dry irony that had defined the rest of his life. He wakes up in the body of Kael Voss—son of Duke Aldric Voss, declared Pathless at his Awakening Ceremony, condemned to an arranged marriage with a noblewoman who despises him, and destined to be forgotten in some remote corner of the continent of Astravia. Except Kael possesses something no one has ever seen before: a Black Arkane Heart. Unclassifiable rank. Outside the system. And that very system is sending him messages that only he can read. Ren knows this world. He’s read the novel in which he’s now a side character—the one who dies in Chapter 30. He has only a few months to rewrite that fate, maneuver between five Great Noble Houses, survive a magic academy with merciless rules, and evade a secret organization that has been watching him since the moment he awakened. There are also the women around him. His sister, who will never let anyone get close. His fiancée, who hates him—for now. An assassin who guards his door every night without admitting it. A commoner with a smile too innocent to be a trap. A commander who stopped believing in anything three years ago. And somewhere, a man with white eyes who has been planning all of this for eighty years. Kael isn’t trying to become a hero. He’s trying to survive. But Astravia has other plans.

Eclipsed Realms: The Stolen Sun

In a world where the sun has vanished, the Shattered Skylands hang suspended in a pallid gray sky, floating islands drifting above an endless void. Without light, darkness spreads across the realms, warping forests, rivers, and creatures alike. The balance of magic has fractured, and only one marked by the celestial sigil of the Luminarchs can hope to restore it. Kael, an orphaned boy raised on the cliffs of Lintara, discovers a glowing mark on his hand the morning the sun disappears completely. Suddenly, he is thrust into a world alive with magic, where creatures shimmer with molten light, the wind hums with power, and bridges of starlight connect floating islands. Guided by Lyria, a silver-haired Guardian of Moonlight, Kael begins to awaken abilities he barely understands: molten-light magic that flows from his very soul, fragile yet potent, and capable of bending reality itself. As Kael ventures into the floating market city of Eryndor, he is confronted with the complexity of the Skylands: factions vying for control, magical creatures testing his instinct and skill, and agents of darkness watching his every move. Shadowborn forces, corrupted by the absence of the sun, wait in the periphery, their motives tied to an enigmatic figure who seeks to keep the world in eternal night. Kael must navigate trials that test not only his powers but his courage, morality, and understanding of the living magic around him. Each step draws him closer to the Astral Sea, a void of stars and relics where the stolen sun’s essence is hidden. Along the way, mysterious allies, morally ambiguous sorceresses, and formidable enemies force Kael to confront the truth of his heritage and the immense responsibility of his destiny. Eclipsed Realms is an epic tale of awakening, adventure, and cosmic magic. It is the story of a boy thrust into a fractured world, a fledgling hero learning to master powers beyond imagination, and a race against darkness that threatens to engulf the heavens themselves. I’m a new author so let me know if I did anything wrong.

To Conquer The Stars (BOOK 1 COMPLETE)

Death was supposed to be the end. For Mark Shepherd, it was just the beginning. Run down on Earth, Mark wakes to the screaming alarms of a starship crashing onto a desolate world. Stranded on the fringes of mapped space, his only lifeline is the dying wisdom of an ancient alien ship builder. To survive, Mark must master the art of Starship Engineering, forging everything from intricate fusion reactors to cold warship hulls. But escaping a dead planet is only the first step in his journey. The broader galaxy is unforgiving, run by cutthroat corporations, pirates, and corrupt empires. When Mark forms an unlikely family, his rising technological brilliance paints a target on his back. Greedy factions want his skills enslaved or destroyed. In a universe where freedom is enforced with railguns, a quiet life is a death sentence. To protect his own, Mark must build, expand, and rise from the unknown to challenge the titans of the galaxy. But such a task is easier said than done. He didn't ask for this second life, but he will seize it. To survive is human. But to conquer?
