In Deep Down Your Black Heart, step into a world where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, and the darkest corners of the human psyche come alive. Inspired by the gripping reality of maladaptive daydreaming, this novel weaves a tale of haunting self-reflection, survival, and the unrelenting pull of power and consequence. Follow Hound, a deeply conflicted man gifted—and cursed—with the ability to glimpse fractured visions of the future. As his transformations ravage his body and psyche, Hound navigates a dystopian world of deceit, betrayal, and survival. Driven by guilt over a horrific act against his closest friend, Hound teeters on the edge of madness, his silver eyes reflecting not just his powers but the unrelenting weight of his past. From the brutal trenches of Rivermirror to the guarded halls of River’s elite, Hound’s journey unfolds amidst chaos, betrayal, and unshakable loyalty to his fractured sense of justice. Encounters with characters like the dangerously playful Argent, whose silver hair is as sharp as her wit, and Emily, a woman caught between privilege and survival, challenge Hound’s morality and force him to confront the truths of his own fractured humanity. Exploring the cost of power, the limits of forgiveness, and the chilling effects of unchecked ambition, Through the Deep Down Your Black Heart is a deeply psychological journey through a dystopian world where every choice ripples with devastating consequences. Perfect for readers of dark fantasy and psychological thrillers, this novel delivers a raw, unflinching exploration of what it means to be human when humanity itself hangs in the balance

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
