As alluded to in Jurassic Park, Raptors are too clever for their own good.

I got the story idea with the ending. Then it started flowing backwards, unravelling the events that led up to that final moment. Although it is still in the development stage, I would like to hear your theories and any other helpful advice from the fellow writer and readers. The Book will have action, betrayal, romance, politics, and mystery.

Alexandra wakes up on the morning of her family vacation with no memory of the previous day and finds herself in the kingdom of Eldrida.

Where she will make penance for her crime and eventually become entangled in royal politics. She is in the kingdom where everything appears to be doing well, but it is actually dying from the inside.

Asher is having the time of his life as the charming and charismatic prince of Eldrida. Sooner rather than latter he will have to start taking responsibilties. As Alexandra and Asher's paths intertwine, they must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden truths, and ultimately decide whether they have the power to save Eldrida from its impending downfall.

A prince finds his footing in the hierarchy, while the girl desperately searches for the way home. Their fates are connected yet separate.

A hotel at the edge of everything holds mystery, monsters, and confusion for anyone who enters and cannot find their room in time.

Who would have thought that being forgotten came with such a price?

(So firstly I thought of writing a novel, here it goes, the merged souls. But yeah turns out, penana has more of short stories instead of this, and I had only found out recently where to publish. I’ll be leaving the first 2 chapters here for now though)

Dale recovered his ambition as he horribly lost many to monsters of unknown origin. Dale helps to fight for their land as he seeks the source of the monsters, powerful merged souls, the cause of his drastic change and loses. However, such a goal is exceedingly far from reach, even with the more experienced fighters. The creatures becoming merged souls are insufferable, overpowering them as such, how much more the source findings imply of, a summoner, a magician all alone?

Selara is a child born of Elemental and Dark Majik.  To some in the kingdom she is an abomination while to others she is hope for a peaceful tomorrow.  She is sent into the past in order to protect her from certain death from assassins.  When she returns on her seventeenth birthday she  is immediately attacked and must seek refuge with her parents in the last Elemental holdout.  She seeks out mentors to help teach her to control the Majik raging within her.
