If you love a gritty tale about the battle between light and dark, and featuring two women caught up in a dangerous land...please look at my book... The Eye of EbonBlurb:
A young Samiare lies dying in the snow, in her hand, a sword of legend, and now the whole world is changed. For Ruegette, hero of Tierinor, the girl marks the earliest stages of a new war against the Shadow, and a new struggle to keep safe what has been hidden for more than an age--The Eye of Ebon.
Pulled into a conflict greater than nations and Gods, both Ruegette, and the girl she rescues, try to survive in a land full of threats against brutal foes that will show them no mercy. Can Samiare find the strength to overcome her torments, and can the White Sword be enough to push back the dark? --Or will a sinister creature reclaim its prize...
The Shadow is rising...
...It seeks back its eye...
...It won't be stopped.
What people are saying:
If you are a fantasy lover you have found the right book. Well written and full of excitement in new worlds with characters of valor, the fight between good and evil continues. ~ Shoshana Yarin
The Eye of Ebon is a gritty, emotionally charged fantasy with a rich world and a haunting tone. Samiare is a compelling lead, and the story kept me hooked with its dark mystery and lyrical writing. ~ Tessa Ray
"The Eye of Ebon" delivers a compelling dark fantasy narrative that draws readers into a richly crafted world of ancient powers and looming threats. ~ Karla Nebeker
Compelling from start to finish, The Eye of Ebon is a gritty and heartbreaking epic. Great storytelling and mythos, which feels like a mood marriage of Warcraft and Salvatore’s first Drizzt novel, but with female leads. ~ Scott Appleton
Sure, I'll post mine.The Awakening is a story of loyalty, love, and belief. Told in four parts - each carrying their own unreliable narrator - the story chronicles the rise of a radical new ideology that threatens the status quo.
A thousand years ago, a shadow fell across the world, killing the gods and poisoning the sun. The Cities of Wisdom survive only through submission to the Mazdas, vestigial priests of the ancient pantheon.
Venerating the dead gods, and the clergy who keep their memory alive, is the only way to keep the Shadow at bay. To question this is heresy, the punishment is death.
The Herald says otherwise. Emerging from obscurity, he claims there is a new goddess sleeping at the edges of reality. If she can be awoken, then the Shadow will be destroyed and the world remade into a paradise.But his vision of a better world must overcome the remnants of the old one.
For some, it is a great dream that his followers will bring about at any cost. To others, it is a vile heresy that must be expunged. And to those caught in the middle, it is a growing nightmare they may not awaken from.
"Memorable characters, fascinating worldbuilding, and a provocative exploration of the dark side of faith." - Kirkus Reviews
I have a few books to read before my plate is clean again, but I am gonna pick my next book from this list...if its here, I might read yours :)
I'll pop mine here too! Empire of Ravens which is currently FREE on Amazon til May 19!Blurb:
“There will be no Gods in this quest for absolution...”
With this ominous prophecy and the Gods deep in slumber, the Crow sends Valora Rhen—the Lightwielder—into a quest to stop the threat of the Dark Coven, a sect of evil witches aiming to summon their wicked god to sunder the world and bring its inhabitants to their knees. To prevent this calamity from unfolding, the Lightwielder embarks on a journey with Dinah White—a fenirian witch eager to prove herself to her race, Nathan—a runaway bard with a secret that has caught the Coven’s eye, and Kairo Zunae—a charming merchant faring from the far city of Fuertelibre.
Will they manage to lift the veil of mystery around the Dark Coven and its elusive Matriarch?
Will they outsmart the manipulative hand that seems to always be one step ahead of them?
About the book:
If you enjoy worldbuilding and delving into the personalities and emotions of the main characters, I'd say this story is for you! There are magical lands and powerful forces at play, but the humanity of each character remains there, guiding their actions for good or ill. At least, those who are human.
If you want to explore a bit of the world I do have maps and some art pieces on my website!
The more the merrier!The Orange Curse is a lively, fun fantasy inspired by Italian folktales. A cursed prince, a girl with terrible luck, a parrot, and a cat set out on a journey to a fairy country to look for three mysterious oranges that will remove a curse.
Fairies, talking animals, bloodthirsty magnolias, forest bandits, and oranges!
For kids who enjoy reading longer books and adults who love escaping from reality to the wonderful world of fairy tales.
“The story, much like beloved fairy tales, has its fair share of dark moments, but it maintains a sense of hope and subtle humor throughout.” - Rafaella

How do you like Wattpad? Is it mostly for authors or readers?
@Kristina Kamaeva - I think it's good. A little slow with the reads until you've got a lot of chapters published. I think it's more for readers than writers. But that's just me!

The Carrying, a speculative fiction novellaA man carries the woman he loves toward her eternal imprisonment. Six days to reach the Vault. Six days of wrestling with a truth that refuses simple answers. A literary fantasy for readers who want stories that resist easy morality, who find intrigue in impossible choices, and who understand that the heaviest burdens are the ones we carry toward endings we can neither accept nor escape.
Hi all, I'm Walter and this is a story that has been rattling around my head for a long time. I have always been fascinated with how decision making frameworks can come apart when we need them most. Any comments, questions or critiques are very welcome.
Available on Amazon as of writing, more to come.
