About this listen
For some, destiny is a warm embrace, but for others it is a stranglehold. In the vast, sprawling continent of Pan’gea, a clandestine organization is rising to power. It is called the Remnant Order, a group dedicated to preserving order in a chaotic world. At the heart of the Remnant are a husband and wife, Romulus and Diánna. Romulus is one of the Order's most steadfast champions, a paragon of fairness and stability. Diánna is the newly elected leader of the Remnant; a woman who built herself from the ground up. Their lives are seemingly perfect—a successful career, a newborn son, and a luxurious home. However, their work comes at a heavy price.
Diánna has been shown where her fate lies, and she will do all she can to bring about change in the New World. As assassination plots and political schisms threaten to tear the Remnant apart, Romulus and Diánna find themselves increasingly at odds with each other. Their once-unbreakable bond begins to fray under the pressure of their conflicting responsibilities. In a desperate attempt to save their family, the pair must decide how far they are willing to go.
Will they choose to protect their son at the cost of their mission? Or will they sacrifice their family to fulfill their destiny? As the lines between love, duty, and betrayal blur, Romulus and Diánna must confront the darkest corners of their souls. In the end, destiny may be a fickle thing.
Fans of political thrillers and epic fantasy will be captivated by this tale of love, duty, and destiny. If you enjoyed the complex political intrigue and personal conflicts in Game of Thrones or the epic action in Red Rising, you'll also love the gripping story of Romulus and Diánna in The Hold of Destiny.

In the land of Malgar, where the essence of balance once weaved through the very fabric of life, shadow casters—masters of the arcane, summoning creatures and weapons born of shadow—long stood as vanguards of harmony. But when fear sparked a purge that intended to extinguish their ancient art, the world teetered on the brink of chaos. But turmoil brought forth reform and rising from the ashes of distrust, three young casting trainees, Kaito, Sumi, and Nigel, emerge as beacons of hope within the reinstated Legion of Shadow Casters.

While this book series might seem like a sci-fi book series, it is more of a fantasy series. It used to take place on Earth, but before I published it, I rewrote it to take place on another planet, so it only became a sci-fi book when I moved it to another planet. However, I see it as more of a fantasy series because of all the magic. This book is a fantasy series with some sci-fi in it. There is more of an explanation in the book.

The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace.
