Set on the mystically charged Carnes Island, The Shifter follows Sonya, a fierce mother and enigmatic shapeshifter from the ancient race of Felis Umbra. Her life is a delicate balance between protecting her daughter Anya—born of both wonder and sacrifice—and harnessing the island’s primal magic that flows through her veins. When ruthless developers arrive, threatening to desecrate the sanctuary and uncover secrets best left buried, Sonya must confront both her haunted past and the prophecy etched into the bones of the island. As Anya’s mysterious powers awaken, their bond and strength become central to the battle that ensues—one of survival, legacy, and the fight to preserve a vanishing magical lineage.
A world of knights, magic, and myths—an endless cycle, told through the eyes of the underworld and the forsaken. Yet with each variation, there is hope; and with every death, knowledge. Fitting, then, to suggest a deeper framework at play—not mere defeat, but destiny. Not just an end, but a transformative passage. A fantasy world, grimdark and mythological, weaving existentialism into its very foundation. It borrows from scattered myths and cultures, fragmented and fused into a singular, haunting mosaic. In its fragmented tapestry, one hears the thunder of Mjölnir, echoing through forgotten battlefields where gods once bled. Djinn and Ifrit whisper through scorched winds, spinning tales of bargains forged in shadow. Slavic wraiths and Rusalki drift across mirror-lakes, lamenting histories buried beneath snow and time. The dragons of Song and Tang, coiled in celestial patterns, shape fate with breath that weaves heaven and earth. Echoes of Celtic sorrow and Greek hubris clash against the reverent silence of Roman ruins, where valor was measured in sacrifice. Across this world, myths do not simply live—they decay, reform, and rise again. Identity fractures beneath archetypes; memory bleeds into prophecy. Creation is not gifted, but wrested from chaos. And every hero, haunted by their own echo, must decide whether to serve fate—or break it. this is my knightsphere my.....fragmented worlds my fragmetica

The Shifting Grove Chronicles Book 2: The Grove Unbound (Coming Soon) | I fled the throne, the prophecy, the lies. But I can’t outrun her or the bond tying us together. As war spreads and rot claws through the roots of the world, I’ll burn it all before I let fate claim me… or her. - Draegan
Note: This story is told from a Carib-Jamericanadian perspective. In a richly blended language mix of nonsense talk, sensational spelling, double entendre, poetry, and seasoned with snippets of Jamaican Patois inserted here and there throughout, as may be found fitting. Yeah, man, a Jamaica yaad mi come fram, sorry, I meant to say; I’m Jamaican born and bred, okay? Yes, wordplay is the order of the day around here.
