Book Description
In the shadowed recesses of the ancient Dragon's Maw, where time seems to dance to a different rhythm, a world of forgotten lore and untapped power lay hidden. Two unlikely individuals, the scholar Alaric and the enigmatic Elara, find themselves drawn together by a symbol - a symbol that promises to unlock secrets that have slumbered for centuries, whispers of a power that could change the course of humanity. Alaric's insatiable curiosity and pursuit of knowledge have led him to the very brink of this mystery, guided by ancient texts and his relentless intellect. In contrast, Elara's connection to the symbol is etched into her very soul, shaped by a cultural heritage that holds the key to understanding its true meaning. As their paths intertwine, Alaric's excitement is tempered by Elara's silent worry, a lingering dread of a past catastrophe. Together, they embark on an odyssey filled with peril, a journey that will take them deeper into the very fabric of legend and reality, challenging everything they know and believe. Yet, what begins as a thrilling adventure soon unfolds into something far more profound. The symbol's activation triggers events that neither of them could foresee, unearthing truths that have lain dormant for ages, shaking the very foundations of their world. With each step they take, the stakes grow higher, the dangers more pronounced, and the bond between them stronger. Will they be the heralds of a new era or the catalysts of destruction? The answers lie within Dragon's Maw, waiting to be revealed. Their journey is only beginning, and destiny beckons, a symphony of prophecy, guilt, resolve, and redemption. The echoes of a bygone age are awakening, and the power they've unleashed will not be easily contained. Welcome to a tale of myth, magic, and the undeniable strength of human connection. Welcome to the world of Alaric and Elara.

Book Description
Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, must flee as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K'un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea'ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted order's distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help...but first he must survive. A blend of Western fantasy and Eastern martial arts and mysticism, the Chronicles of the Fists is an epic trilogy recounting Yip's adventures against all odds.
