And so a new path lays before me. I've been plotting and world building this story for about 6 months now. Chapter 1 is written. I really do love the idea of this story.
A male PoV, dark romantasy

Over the past year, the balance of power across Verilia has shifted. Alliances have shattered. Now, Tirian and the Ashen Empire seek control while the lands are drenched in blood.

If you’ve ever craved a fantasy series where the stakes are personal and world-ending, the lines between good and evil are gloriously blurred, and dragons aren’t just mounts—they’re part of their rider's soul...
Then, this could be your next obsession.

"As this story beautifully unfolds, we get a sense of world building that I’ve not read in a military thriller before..."

I think the best magic systems always have a cost. Blood or body for power. Memories for untapped knowledge. Years of life for a single wish. The best "spells" are never free.
Anything given too easily is never worth the price, whether that is mortally based or morality based.
I broke through my writing block. Turns out all I had to do was rework my plot!
So...despite postponing the release of Ruins of a Shattered Dawn, I am back to writing it. I have 17 chapters of a battle to go through, then 3 devastatingly final chapters
Welcome to Silmorna.
Try not to die.

Perhaps grimdark has grown as much as it has because the world has become more cynical and hope feels foolish at times.
Many people are living in perpetual shitty situations, and I think relateability plays a factor.
Additionally, I tend to find characters in grimdark books have more depth.
Wooot! Finally got 200 ratings on Amazon! Thank you to everyone who got me here and gave my book a chance!
Just started writing it lol
I'm thinking cliche and saying February 2026 lol
✨️ Official cover reveal ✨️
This thing has taken over my brain a LOT lately! It will be my debut romantasy, combining Empyrean, ACOTAR, and The First Law trilogy with a dash of Empire of the Vampire.
Or... older Eldras! Muwahaha
The one and only, Eldras
