The Hellspawn (Book 1)

Eurrr
A dark fantasy novel inspired by the brutal worldbuilding of The Witcher and the bleak weight of fate. (because The Witcher is goated) In a land where monsters thrive and mankind clings to survival by a bloodstained thread, salvation does not come from kings, priests, or heroes, it comes from something far worse. Every generation, one hundred children are taken, blindfolded and stripped of family, name, and future and led into the Ashen Circle, where ancient warlocks perform a forbidden ritual. Ninety-nine perish. One survives. One is chosen by the flames to become the next Hellspawn: a weapon forged in agony, alchemy, and arcane fire. This time, the circle chose a nameless boy. Eyes black as night. Emotions burned to ash. They called him Ravyn, the forty-sixth of his kind.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
