KINGDOM OF WOLVES
The Kingdom of Wolves - Part 1: Dying in the Shadows
Thomas Gray was born in the stench and struggle of the lower north side—a place the wealthy called the Beggar’s Maw. They weren’t entirely wrong. The air hung thick with the smell of unwashed furs, rotting teeth, and despair. What passed for clothes were little more than soiled rags, crusted with the grime of survival.
The Kingdom of Wolves - Part 2: There is little to no honesty in Winning
TNath Sky was born and raised on the western fringe of the Kingdom of Wolves—a land carved rigidly into four castes: the royal Gewels, the noble Fangs, the merchant Pawns, and the common Beggars. Nath, a Beggar by birth, was a man of many talents but a trickster at heart. Slick with words and confident in his lies, he lived life by chance, never fearing to risk everything for more.
The Kingdom of Wolves - Part 3: A true Champion
A champion has no bounds. A champion has no fear. A champion wants nothing but victory. And so it was for Leon.
The Kingdom of Wolves - Part 4: Banish
Thirty years ago, the previous emperor of the Kingdom of Wolves banished a small group of people for reasons sealed within the imperial archives. While many vanished into obscurity, the survivors nursed a bitter, festering grievance. They called their exile unjust.
The Kingdom of Wolves - Part 5: The beginning and the End
The Kingdom of Wolves — once ruled by the iron fist of Emperor Rehema Atef, and later by his heir Dakarai — was a land carved from fear. Its history was written in the scars of the enslaved, a time the beggarly still called “the dark ages.” Though that era had officially ended, its shadow lingered in the cruel laws still etched into the kingdom’s stones, and in the silent suffering of its people.
KINGDOM OF PHOENIX
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 6: A path through many Doors
Nothing is fair nor equal in this world. Raven Rivers knew this before she was eight years old — before she understood why the other children whispered, before she saw her parents’ eyes dart away in shame. They called her “different.” She had two-colored eyes, a foreign accent, and wore clothes that felt more real in dreams than in daylight. And then, the day she first made a candle flame dance without touching it, her childhood quietly ended.
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 7: The love of Iron
In the village of Ashford, the other girls spent their afternoons with embroidery needles and silk thread, their mothers watching proudly as tiny stitches formed roses and songbirds.
Niamh's hands held different tools.
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 8: The legend of Thieves
The streets recognize no loyal stranger when you are young and poor. But a brother and sister have nothing except loyalty. At seven and eight, their faces are caked with dirt—yet they never change.
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 9: The Traveler
Alora was the daughter of a great performer — the living prodigy of every show. Her family traveled from land to land, magicians who blessed crowds with astonishing feats and memories meant to last a lifetime.
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 10: The forgotten Wonder
Every face has an identity; everyone has a history. But not Finn.
On the first day of spring, a ten year old boy woke in the heart of an ancient forest with no name and no past.
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 11: The mystery of the Ocean
A child dreams of sailing the entire ocean. But before he can sail, he must learn how to float—the first step toward his dream.
The Kingdom of Phoenix - Part 12: Spiritual Belief
What heights are we able to reach?
What lies do we choose to believe?
What wrongs can we never correct?
These were the questions that lived inside Abdu, even as a boy. He often wondered: Do people choose their faith, or is it chosen for them before they are born?
