ABOUT“A very nice guy author.” —someoneHello, I’m Elijah (They/Them), though I sometimes go by Randall. 🫰🏼 I’m a Pagan Asian-American writer, born and raised in Wisconsin, the dairy state. A proud member of the neurodivergent and queer community. I have a deep passion for queer romantasy novels, manhwas, art, and tabletop roleplaying games. Fantasy is my escape, offering (probably not the most healthy) comfort through dissociation and escapism. By day, I’m a full-time domestic violence advocate, and by night, a part-time indie author. While I may be socially awkward and perpetually exhausted, I’m always friendly and looking for community. Feel free to reach out!(persona art by @k4rt4uji)

Other times, a cursed prince in need of true love's kiss. A disgraced rockstar. A morally gray vampire. A billionaire CEO offering a fake marriage contract. Ava has written him into every trope she can think of, and in every one, he always chooses her.It's all harmless fun until the bell above the bookstore door rings, and her muse walks in.Now face-to-face with the man she's turned into a thousand fantasies, Ava must navigate the fine line between fiction and reality.Co-Written by Elijah Her and Dicentra

For centuries, the kingdoms of Tairasa have bled beneath the weight of endless war. Durathar struck first, conquering Akhsarun with brutal efficiency before setting its gaze on the rest of the continent.
The kingdom of Yuehama stood proud, but not even its beauty nor power could withstand the destruction. After a hundred years of resistance, it fell beneath the force of Durathar. Yet it was not battle that broke them—it was betrayal. Their defenses shattered from within, and in the wake of a fragile truce, Crown Prince Kyo Seiryu was taken.Stripped of his name and face by ruthless magic, Kyo is cast into Durathar’s brutal arenas, forced to fight against his own kin and creatures of unimaginable power.After a display of defiance and skill, Kyo earns a place in the venomous court of the new Emperor of Durathar—a bastard-born ruler whose charm conceals a dangerous intellect and hidden motives. In a court where loyalty shifts like desert sands and betrayal serves as currency, Kyo walks a perilous path. Vengeance lies within his grasp—but so does something far more dangerous.
