"Rise of the Silent Dragon."

DikunSilver
In a world where the age of the samurai is fading and the shadows of corruption grow, Dikun Silver is born into a legacy of honor and discipline. Raised under the stern guidance of his father, a respected samurai, Dikun is trained in the art of the sword from a young age. Though he lacks overwhelming strength, his mind is his greatest weapon — sharp, calculating, and endlessly curious. He absorbs knowledge like a sponge, mastering not only the way of the blade but also the subtle intricacies of strategy and leadership. But when tragedy strikes and his father falls in battle, Dikun is left without title or standing. Cast adrift in a world ruled not by honor but by ambition, he ventures into the lawless depths of the city of Edo. There, the Yakuza reign — men of cunning and ruthlessness, bound by loyalty yet consumed by power. Rather than flee from the shadows, Dikun embraces them. He moves through the underworld with calculated precision, learning the ways of the Yakuza while concealing his true intent. From the ground up, he builds his own clan — one not governed by senseless brutality but by discipline, loyalty, and strategy. With each calculated move, Dikun rises, conquering rival clans and solidifying his place in the unforgiving world of organized crime. Yet power comes at a cost. As the Silent Dragon, Dikun will face treachery, betrayal, and bloodshed. Enemies will rise, alliances will crumble, and the weight of his ambition will threaten to consume him. Torn between the teachings of his father and the brutal reality of the underworld, Dikun must decide — will he remain a man of honor, or will the shadows claim him? And when love enters his path, forcing him to question everything, the choice becomes even more perilous. In this slow-paced, immersive journey of power and ambition, "Rise of the Silent Dragon" weaves a tale of strategy, strength, and sacrifice. Dikun Silver's path will not be one of glory, but of survival. For in the world of the Yakuza, the only law that matters is the one written in blood. The dragon has awakened. And the world will tremble.

The Last Touched: Rite of Queens

The Last Touched is a haunting fantasy of bloodlines, broken fate, and the perilous cost of power. Elsbeth MoonChild is the last of the touched—the final descendant of a cursed lineage bound to the flame. As Alpha of the shattered 12th pack, she bears the ruin left by her father’s crime: the murder of the queen. Branded by his betrayal, hunted by her former chosen mate, and driven into exile with the last of her people, Elsbeth has one desperate path forward—to survive, she must stake her claim in the Rite of Queens, an ancient trial that demands strength, sacrifice, and the will to rule. But the Rite does more than test her body and mind. It pulls her backward in time, submerging her into the forgotten life of her ancestor—the first queen. As memories bleed into dreams and dreams into waking, Elsbeth begins to unravel a long-buried truth: the flame in her blood is not just magic. It is a weapon. A curse. A gift once traded in blood and sacrifice to end an age of chaos. And she is not the only one who carries it. Julia, her estranged sister—exiled, fire-born, and half-mad with hunger—is no hybrid. She is the living echo of the power their bloodline tried to bury. Ruthless, charismatic, and driven by the belief that the throne was stolen from her, Julia is building a gospel of grievance and flame. Her army grows in the shadows, fed by secrets and stolen children. And with each ritual, the ancient seal weakens, waking something that was never meant to rise again. Torn between duty and desire, Elsbeth clings to the one thing that keeps her tethered—Fen, her true mate, a being older than he appears, hiding a divine truth of his own. Their bond runs deeper than fate, but it terrifies her. To surrender to it would mean choosing love over the kingdom. And if she falls too far, the flame inside her might burn her from within… just as it did her father. As old gods stir and the fire in her blood begins to answer the call of something watching from beneath the ice, Elsbeth must decide: will she become the queen her people need? Or the weapon her blood was meant to wield? AUTHOR'S NOTE: It's come to my attention that I accidentally set my privilege chapters to start too early, to make up for this (since I'm unable to change that) I've set up an 80% Privilege Chapter Discount launching May 2025 for all privilege tiers. I hope you still give my book a chance so that you can fall in love with the characters as much as I have while writing it.
