[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] 

Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. 
But that's all about to change.

An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? 

As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. 

Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start?

A 5x Wattpad Featured Novel✨! Consider this: You make a life altering decision not too long ago that you reconsider everyday and as if that isn't enough torture, it has the nerve to violently dangle two other decisions before your eyes. Want to guess the first? Well, the first decision is a step in the right direction but with highly probable danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. And the other? The other is the best way to play it safe...until definite danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. This is what Beth has to face after what appears to be a memorable night for the school of Zavlon Academia, morphs into a nightmare etched in the minds of the whole student body. Obviously, it's not easy. Especially when she's not only supposed to save, but unite with the other lucky few who manage to escape the incident. The very people who either contributed to or ignored the treatment she received as the 'other' Zavolonian. Particularly the enigma of a boy she's particularly torn as to whether to like or detest, to trust or suspect. Whichever decision isn't going to change one thing though; the lurking evil that's cutting corners, coming for the ones who got away. Fast. Ready or not.

After partly avenging her mother's death, Evette Star, the illegitimate daughter of an elven king, sets off on a warpath to find the adversary of her people. The human King in the West, Dracul Dregoth, has locked himself away in a stone tower for reasons unbeknownst to those who fear him. His reign has blanketed the land in darkness, and while Evette knows little about the man, she intends to make him pay for the deeds done by those who have obeyed his relayed orders. She will bring him to justice, even if it means uncovering hidden secrets that will force her to question if all of her efforts were really worth the trouble. She will have to learn the hard way that self-love and self-acceptance are more important than the love of others. Werewolves, dragons, and undead spirits may keep her from reaching her destination on time, but her need for fiery vengeance will be sated. Of Shadow and Death is the first book in the Shadow Of Wisdom series. No one is truly trustworthy. No one is safe. Few will survive the truth, and even fewer will live happily ever after. ___________________________________ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Of Shadow and Death is art. This book is a page turner.
