They would sing his name for generations: the man who conquered the continent.

Undefeated in battle, Andar of Tyr stands on the precipice of uniting the world under his flag. The songs forget the shadowy truths and the crushed opposition that built the foundations of his empire. Educated and impulsive, brutal and loved, Andar fights to keep his conquests and his legacy. 

Yalira dao Eheia, High Priestess of the temple-city Antalis, is the youngest chosen by the goddess of truth. Gifted with visions of the future and the uncanny ability to sense lies, she alone fights to oppose the most powerful man in the world. Surrounded by jealous queens and conniving politicos, even goddess-blessed Yalira must challenge him the only way permitted: she must play his game better than anyone.

Trapped in the heart of his empire, stolen as his ninth-wife, Yalira uncovers dark secrets in the battle to overthrow a tyrant. Behind each twisted truth live vipers and wolves, hungry to consume the world.All Rights Reserved

Wings of Heaven by icurrie2000

The Fanalis were a well-known people; the famed hunters and conquerors of the Dark Continent. With legs stronger than steel that could pierce a lion's heart with a single kick, they were a race to be feared. But also on the same land lived a dwindling race of people who were even more ferocious than the Fanalis. Rumored to fight like real monsters by ripping throats with sharp fangs, slicing to shreds with claws like daggers, and wielding the elements like gods in human form, this legendary race was believe to be naught but myth. The Drakonis. With their name akin to the mighty beasts of wing and scale, they fought with an unparalleled ferocity eagerly sought for by armies and empires. They were a deeply religious and strict society with laws that prevented outsiders from mingling to keep their bloodlines pure. As such their numbers began to dwindle and, with the ever growing demand for Drakonis and Fatalis slaves, their species became endangered. They could not be bred to produce more because each Drakonis can only choose one mate and can only have children with that one mate for the rest of their lives. If one mate was to die, then the other would feel like they had lost half their soul, but gaining a mate unlocks a Drakonis' full potential so not choosing a mate is like a bird never learning to fly. Purposeless. With their people hunted and lands razed, the mighty Drakonis faded into legend and their truths became gossip and the gossip became bedtime stories for children who wonder about adventure and travel. But there was one who hid her true identity, one who played human but always remembered her pride and home from whence she came. She took it upon herself to rebuild an empire for her people; one where they would not be threatened with extinction and isolation. But that's quite the tall order for a twelve year old girl, don't you think? She may just need a little help from our favorite miracle child. What do ya say? I only own Raz / my plot changes
