In this age, however, humankind had subdued the proud dragonkind and turned them into slaves. Brands seared into their arms with the mark of a weeping dragon; the symbol of their defeat.Darin vehemently hated the mistreatment of the dragonkind, and when a branded runaway boy crossed his path, he made him his apprentice to protect him. Something had to be done.But in a strange turn of events, Darin found himself the leader of a peculiar band of travelers: His new apprentice, a brooding warrior, and an elven healer. Although he rarely traveled with others, he began to enjoy it as a long-term arrangement as days turned into weeks.Yet Amaredeia was still healing its war-ravaged wounds, and the cries of rebellion and anguish rose again. Could he really continue denying the calls of his apprentice's people?𝙈𝙖𝙮 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙪𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙖𝙡𝙡.Blurb modified by @aleshawrites_|| Wattys2021 Shortlister and Ambys2022 Winner |||| Featured on @Fantasy @highfantasy @WattpadFriendsandFamily @Watt-Dragons||Written for the Open Novella Contest 2021, but it turned into a novel instead of a novella XD|| A round one Ambassador's Pick ||Milestones:✔️2,000 words✔️8,000 words✔️20,000 words - Reached on 2/27/21Total word count: 80,522Started: Feb. 5, 2021Completed: Sep. 7, 2021…

Even stranger, it was there to deliver an invitation.

With Master Arcloven away and Carvolier shut down, all Nagan could do was sit and wait with the remaining Arclovens, hoping that the war would not reach their borders anytime soon.

He continued to rise through the ranks, fighting for the day peace could reign at last. Loss after loss, hardships and casualties, all of it slowly chipped away at his core, but this was his war. He needed to finish what he started.But Carvolier was no longer his home, and he was growing tired of the Council of Thirds.So, Nagan began taking matters into his own hands.Book three of the Broken Time Series⚠️ 𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 '𝘽𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙' 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙚𝙧. ⚠️Started: June 16, 2023Completed: -…

Property of Nageth Elvar (and tediously decoded by E. Maddoxx)----------------While looking through his father's journals, Nagan finds one that was a little different from the rest. Time magic, adventure, and even ordinary life, it seemed as if his father once wrote everything and anything.What he didn't know, however, was that the infamous Nageth Elvar was quite the dragon enthusiast. Not that it mattered. Nagan was happy to read anything his father wrote, even if that meant deciphering chicken scrawl.Anything to feel closer to the man he wished he remembered.----------------Essentially, someone suggested I create a glossary for all the types and species of dragons, and I said, "I'll do you one better."So enjoy your knowledge and a little tidbit of how Nageth Elvar would be as a character :3DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR THE BROKEN TIME SERIES. I STRONGLY SUGGEST READING AT LEAST THE FIRST BOOK BEFORE MOVING ON TO THIS.…

❗️THIS IS NOT A COVER SHOP❗️Just your average portfolio. I sometimes design covers for events, challenges and such, and I thought it would do some good having a place where people can browse my work, getting a gauge for my capabilities. So, here it is.Again, this is not a cover shop. These are just covers I've either designed for myself, for others, or for fun. If you see a cover with your book title and name, and you don't remember ever receiving a cover from me, you were probably a book I saw and then got mad inspiration from. It doesn't mean the cover it had was bad, it just meant I wanted to be creative.…
