Creed of Legends

A FANTASY NOVEL

The first book in the Tales of Fear & Fortitude series

The rumblings of war have begun again. Decades ago, the kingdoms of Kresha created alliances that tore the continent in half. The two legends that shaped this world through an epic duel were blessed with legacies who must navigate a fractured world on the brink of chaos.

Commander Brudais defends his homeland while grappling with the hatred for the king he serves. Loya defies tradition by recruiting Dania, a warrior seeking to prove her place on the battlefield. Eldeva's perilous magicks threaten to reshape the war, as Morvian schemes to crush his foes by dismantling their greatest heroes.

As destinies collide and legends rise, the fates of politicians, sorcerers, and warriors intertwine in a deadly dance of ambition, loyalty, and betrayal.

Keep your sword close, your wits about you, and follow your creed -- if you're going to stay alive, you'll need all three.

Dreamscape

BOOK OF SHORT STORIES & POEMS

A collaborative book of scary stories
paired with the artwork of Jamie Koala

Nightmares are bred of terror. There is nothing more horrifying than our worst fears come to life in the hours of our unconscious. We are mere watchers, our mind’s eye fixed on the scene before us but unable to move physically or make a different choice which might lead us out of the dream.

This book is a collection of artwork by Jamie Koala which is centered around a macabre dreamscape and the hunters which prowl the deepest parts of our minds. Each piece of art is accompanied by a short story or poem which gives new life (or death) to the fathomless depths and puts you on the edge of your seat.

A tale woven from the threads of the canvas, we hope to capture your attention and your fear like the threads of a dreamcatcher. Sleep tight, watchers. Sweet dreams.

No matter how hard you fight / You will surrender to the night / And we will wait until you break / Entreating you to never wake
Burn Out

Eros

BOOK OF MYTHS & LEGENDS

Eros is a coming-of-age myth steeped in danger, deception, and defiance. Young and seemingly powerless, the god of desire has yet to awaken anything divine within himself—an unforgivable weakness among immortals. When two souls are stolen into the Underworld, Eros strikes a reckless bargain with the Primordial brothers Kharon, Thanatos, Hypnos, and Eris, risking Hades’ wrath to bring them back. To succeed, he must rely not on power, but on wit, courage, and a heart far stronger than he realizes.

The price of their help is steep. The Fates decree that if Eros fails to complete the brothers’ labours, he will lose his powers forever—an irony that cuts deep, for Eros never had any to begin with. As the journey unfolds, secrets of his lineage surface and the truth of what he is—and what he could become—emerges. But power changes more than fate, and Eros must decide whether discovering who he truly is will save him… or cost him everything.

This is going to take awhile.” “Well, good thing they’re dead. We have plenty of time.
— Eros & Kharon, Eros

Tears of the Ages

FAN FICTION

a novel-length Harry Potter fan fiction

Tears of the Ages follows the Colton cousins—inseparable since birth, yet divided by the Sorting Hat into Gryffindor and Slytherin. At Hogwarts, their lives are a whirlwind of mischief and magic alongside the Marauders, sharp-tongued Severus Snape, and a dangerous circle of ambitious students who will one day become Death Eaters. Between pranks, secrets, and rule-breaking shenanigans, unexpected romance sparks.

But after graduation, the laughter fades. As the wizarding world darkens, the influence of their Hogwarts years becomes impossible to ignore, and the bond between the cousins begins to fracture under the weight of loyalty, ideology, and loss. Told through alternating timelines, the humorous, light-hearted flashbacks of school days stand in stark contrast to a present steeped in sorrow—where love is tested, friendships are torn apart, and the tragedy of the Marauders’ era unfolds in full. Some wounds never heal… and some tears echo through the ages.

Figures you would try to build a house out of Exploding Snap Cards, Colton.
— Severus Snape, Tears of the Ages

Dark Gods

BOOK OF SHORT STORIES

based on the painting Skull Castle by Jamie Koala

Expanding on the poem Skull Castle, these short stories and poems give the reader a deeper look into the mythology of the painting of the floating skull.

Seen through the eyes of a collection of characters who are forced to navigate the rough post-apocalyptic wastes of what they once knew as home, this book of short stories will show you the reason their world was turned upside down and how they found their way out—and the terrible choices they’re forced to make along the way.

We may not see the Sun, love, but there’s still a little light. We make due with what we’ve got.
— Blythe, Dark Gods
