Blaze of darkness

Kuraht1
Every twenty years, they come, winged beasts cloaked in flame and shadow, reducing Hazel’s village to ashes. No one knows why. No one survives long enough to ask. On the year she clocked 20th , Hazel expects to hide like everyone else. But when the sky burns red, and fire rains down, it’s not death that finds her. It’s him. Kaelith. The Black Dragon. The most feared of them all. Ruthless. Immortal. King. He claims her without reason, snatching her from the wreckage and imprisoning her in a fortress carved from obsidian and fire. She is to be his mate. A bearer of his heir. Nothing more. But Hazel is no dragon. No queen. Just a girl with no power, no claws, and no escape. As days turn to nights and hatred gives way to obsession, Kaelith’s icy control begins to crack. In her fear, he finds fascination. In her defiance, he discovers fire. And as his enemies rise and secrets within the mountain unravel, one truth becomes dangerously clear: The dragon never came to destroy the village. He came for her.

Black Onyx: Phoenix Resurrection

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of an immortal vessel. Thus, through pain and flames, I forged it. "From death through flames, to life again, the Heavens will forge, an eternal man!" *** He was once but a man, a young one from Earth, a man that crossed over to another world. After a long string of both fortunate and unfortunate events, he was killed, only to be resurrected by the powers of a Phoenix. Gerald, in his eternal pursuit of power, went and joined a Sect of powerful Cultivators where he learned to properly use his newly gained magic powers in the unfamiliar world, and with a tiny compounding advantage, began to dominate his enemies. He pursued not strength, money, or women, though those too were gained along the way, instead, he craved a body to withstand and witness the end of the world. "What use is money without a long life to enjoy it? What use are the fancy sword techniques and mystic arts, if you can’t take a hit? How many mistakes can one make, before a mortal wound brings them down? It takes just one, and you never see it coming." *** Join, and follow the story of Gerald Fireborn as he explores his new world, pursuing immortality at any cost while avoiding succumbing to death for the second time. PS: Although the story is a continuation of the previously completed book Black Onyx – Forgotten Magic, NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PREVIOUS STORY IS REQUIRED! The book is written to be enjoyed on its own, so yeah... Enjoy!
