A Vengeful Realm: The Scales of Balance – Book 1
Tim Facciola
FREE

Peace bought by blood seldom lasts, for vengeance knows no end. The same is true for mortals and Gods alike. Decades, centuries, eras may pass, but the cycle remains. As war and revolution rise again, Zephyrus finds himself at the center of it all. Chosen by the Gods, hailed as a prophet of liberation, and forged as a weapon to break the kingdom and restore balance to the realm, hope rests squarely on his shoulders.

If only he could remember…

Enslaved as a gladiator and thrust into a prince’s game of espionage, Zephyrus has only two clues to help unlock his shattered past: a prophecy foretelling destruction, and a letter to the enemy king, promising peace. Now Zephyrus must survive the dangers of the gladiatorial arena, the cunning fury of the Prince’s enemies, and the Gods’ torment if he is to find the truth of his identity and fulfill his fate. But to have any hope of breaking the cycle, first he must secure his freedom—and not just from his slavers.

The Crystal Eye
Blake R Wolfe
FREE

One man's choice will shape the fate of all. The Crystal Eye has been found, ancient draconic magic is awakening once more, and an evil sorcerer plots to bend the entire world to his whim.

Long ago, the dragon lords, guardians of magic's intricate tapestry, shared an age of harmony with humanity. But as greed shattered their alliance, a mighty mage arose, pitting mankind against dragonkind in a climactic clash. Dragons were vanquished, the mage vanished, and magic faded from existence.

Now, as fate would have it, Dusk, an oppressed miner under noble tyranny, unearths the ancient remains of the dragon king, clutching the all-powerful Crystal Eye. Concealing this artifact, Dusk seizes his momentous chance, embarking on a daring escape from the depths of the mines, his heart aflame with dreams of freedom. Yet, one fateful night, assaulted by marauders, the crystal awakens, engulfing them in infernal flames, reducing them to mere ashes. In that pivotal instant, the world witnesses the resurgence of magic, and a wicked sorcerer fixates his gaze upon Dusk.

Can Dusk elude the kingdom's borders in a race against time? Or shall the sorcerer's grasp tighten, snuffing out Dusk's life and claiming the dragon's might as his own? Amidst this tapestry of ancient power, a destiny unfolds—will Dusk's courage prevail in the face of ultimate darkness?
