In 589 AD in the kingdom of Kent, seventeen-year-old Ardelle stands accused of wielding lightning to murder a wealthy thane. The king’s daughter, Myrah, compels her to swear an oath of obedience before taking her to her father’s seaside sanctuary. There, Ardelle learns to live with others who possess her gifts – or curses, as some might call them. After winning her freedom, Ardelle finds that she has also won Myrah’s heart, but at great cost: the dark boatman in the realm of the dead demands a reckoning for the men Ardelle has slain lest he take everyone Ardelle loves from her. Will Ardelle submit to him and leave Myrah behind? $0.99 on Kindle.

“You have chosen and been chosen. Grow stronger and save my world.”

Just one semester until graduation, and I died saving a little girl. This wasn’t the end, though, as a deity chose me to save another world. I woke up in the body of Kupiec Aiden, in a world where magic was real. Unfortunately, unlike many isekai novels I’ve read, I retained none of his memories, and had to learn everything. His family took me in, and I recovered from his sickness before learning about magic, or Aether as they called it. I discovered that I had immense innate talent in Aether Gathering, and was offered a scholarship to attend Azyl Academy, the city’s premier institution. Where do I fit in this world, and how am I going to be key to saving it? $0.99 on Kindle.
